I am trying to decode clues that were created using sections of an eBook called “Space Harmonics, The Key to Time Traveling.” by Lonesome Charlie to hide the clues. Decoding the clues supposedly lead to a treasure located in the mainland United States.

The following are some examples of the clues that use sections of "Space Harmonics". The text within the brackets were not in the original eBook:

Traveler is Launched

The morning sun shone brightly over the Kennedy Space Center in Florida on this date, June 18, 2028. Crowds gathered a quarter-mile away to watch a new fourth-generation Saturn Five rocket blast off from the space center. The launch was going to be historical, as the much talked about rover named Traveler, was going to start its 29 year fifteen billion dollar journey. The journey is scheduled to end in the year 2057 when Traveler enters the atmosphere of a planet called San Terra. The planet is located nine light-years from Earth. -----(1234567890)------

Advances in a new propulsion system will allow the rocket carrying Traveler, to travel the nine light-year distance in record time. In 2025, the breakthrough in Tem-poral Communications will allow NASAWC to communicate with Traveler and only experience a twelve-minute delay from the planet San Terra. The world headquarters for space exploration, now called NASAWC, had replaced NASA in 2023. The new organization consisted of nine countries pooling their resources. The last two letters, “WC,” stand for world chapter.

The Traveler Science Lab is more than just a rover. It is a complete, self-contained lab. Included in the lab are two communication satellites that will be launched at the correct altitude to become Traveler’ relay outposts. The principal communication satellite named Companion, and the second satellite called Comrade, will send and

receive communication signals from Earth. Two remote mini rovers are on board, and their goal is to videotape Traveler’s landing. They will also videotape Traveler’s initial movement on the planet. The two mini rovers will be jettisoned at the correct altitude. This will allow them to land and begin videotaping. These mini rovers will transmit their data back to the orbiting satellites. -----(1234567890)-----

The complete package sits on top of the new fourth-generation Saturn Five Rocket. Once the rocket breaks through the Earth’s atmosphere and achieves its cruising speed, it will break away from the science lab. The science lab will then rely on the mini version of the Saturn Five Rocket for any course corrections it may require.

This mini rocket will remain with the Traveler Science Lab throughout the 29-year journey. It will be jettisoned away after it has slowed Traveler down as it descends through the San Terra atmosphere.

Upon touchdown, Traveler’s first job is to call home and let NASAWC know that it has arrived and landed safely. Upon completion of the longest, long-distance call in human history, Traveler will awaken its main observation cameras. These include an HD colour still, an HD colour video camera, and for the first time, an HD 3D colour video. NASAWC has no idea what Traveler will encounter, but they are taking no chances. Within minutes after landing, Traveler will take hundreds of initial pictures that will be immediately transmitted to Companion as a safeguard. -----(1234567890)-----

Once the pictures are taken, NASAWC engineers have pre-programmed the rover to run a series of checks on himself. The rover will be giving itself a medical examina-tion. Once that is complete, and if everything checks out okay, Traveler has instruct-tions to begin switching its software operating program from the flight and landing mode to the land traveling and surface operation's mode. The new version of the software will control all the various tools needed to analyze its surroundings, plus its strong robotic arm and the weapons that it carries.

This is the first-time NASAWC has equipped a rover with weapons because this mission is unique. NASAWC believes there (27849032653) is a good chance Traveler could meet animal life. The mission is expensive, and the journey is too long to have Traveler put out of commission by an animal attack. Traveler will carry defensive weapons to scare away or destroy any animal that could immobilize the rover. The JSL team is hopeful Traveler will not need to use legal force.

The rover’s "brain transplant” will happen within two to three days after landing, and it will be accomplished in a series of steps. NASAWC has equipped the rover with two identical computers, in case one should fail.

Traveler can rewrite some of the software programs. He also has the skill to write new software programs and incorporate them into the operating program. Traveler has the latest version of image processing (39081), which is a program that allows him to check for obstacles in his driving path. The rover will be able to identify and avoid potential hazards, allowing him to drive along a safe route.

The Traveler Science Lab is the most expensive and complex rover ever sent to explore a planet. The nuclear-powered rover will be able to scale the sides of the mountains in search of the building blocks of life. It will traverse the land in its quest for discovery. Traveler is the size of a large SUV and weighs about 3500 pounds. The rover is equipped with artificial intelligence, which means it can decide where it will land and where it will search for life. The rover is equipped with laser weapons for protection. The rover can think on its own and make critical decisions in its search for past or present life. The arrival of the Traveler Science Lab will be the biggest and boldest extraterrestrial landing for NASAWC since the summer moon landing in 1969 and the Curiosity rover landing on Mars in 2012. -----(1234567890)-----

San Terra is a planet about the size of Earth, and according to scientists, it has three large landmasses with two smaller ones. Scientists believe oceans are separating the landmasses, but exactly what kind of life exists if any has not been determined. John Spencer, director of the expedition at the NASAWC, headquartered in Washington, said the mission is the most important event in the history of planetary exploration.

Spencer went on to elaborate that this is a big step forward in technology and a huge potential for a science return. A major success on this mission will lead us further into the Milky Way Galaxy (94673JAYER746) as we search for intelligent life forms.

This trip will not be easy, as the space capsule must (county) survive entry temperatures of 4000 degrees Fahrenheit. It will feel a crushing deceleration of 14 GS, and the 10,000- pound jerk of the rocket-powered descent stage. The lander will decelerate from 14,000 mph to zero in an eight-minute descent through the San Terra atmosphere. When the wheels touch the ground, the lander will uncouple from Traveler, and it will accelerate into the sky and crash land about a quarter-mile away.

The event will be captured on (route) video, as the lander will pre-launch two sep-arate mini rovers carrying video cameras about two miles above the ground. These rovers will land on their self-contained tripods. At that point, they will begin videotaping Traveler’s landing.

This space flight is the longest to date that a NASAWC rover has made. At the end of its journey, the rover will land on San Terra, a planet NASAWC’s scientists believe is similar to Earth. Don Wilson (connector road), an astronomer using a newly invented temporal scope, discovered the planet in 2019. Scientific data indicate the planet has a sustainable life atmosphere. Further analysis suggests the planet has mass amounts of liquid water and is in the habitable zone from its sun.

Megan Fox was a young female reporter in her early twenties. She was covering the blast off for the NASAWC Planetary News (rural road), an online newspaper. When Traveler reaches his destination, Megan will be 52 years old. It seemed like a lifetime to this young reporter. This particular rover is Megan’s pet, so to speak. She had won a contest sponsored by NASAWC to have an inscription etched on a stainless steel plate that was attached to Traveler. NASAWC employees picked Megan’s entry for her ingenuity, and the fact Traveler will be landing on San Terra around 7:30 pm EST. on December 24, 2057. (upstream) -----(0987654321)-----

One method I tried with the first paragraph was to select the first word and use the numbers to count the number of words to be skipped before selecting the next word. This resulted in the following, and I don't think it's correct. This method wouldn't work in instances where clues in brackets contain some or all letters:

"The sun over Center date a fourth-generation space as going to"

Would appreciate any suggestions as to what the numbers and/or letters in the brackets refer to.
