Yeah same at my end. Nothing that has anything to do with a word. Either some letters are missing or it’s so hardcore… But they said it’s so easy…
The most strange thing is that “1”. I think it’s a relevant factor, together with the capital letters positioning.

That’s what I’m about to go into - along with using the message ID as it’s gone down this time instead of up (although this could be because it’s a different sender).
Addition (and I’ll be adding notes in here for the short term)
* the gap in words is always at the first letter. As such I’m going to start including these letters.
* Sk’Ra - there is an inconsistency in existing weapon names to confirm if the R, or even the ’ is part of this. I’ll be including the R from this point on just in case
This means I’m currently working on: 1Ltfzdovuhi - or minor changes with ROT-x. Also I’ll try ROT-x on lower case, and ROT-y on higher case.
I tried the Rail fence cipher as well, nothing…
The 1 could design a specific thing, i don’t think that a name, that can be a object, the time left befors something happen, or a step?

It could even be a literal number…
BTW: Can anyone confirm that UMC is correct?

It is. It stands for “United Mercenary Center”
Day 1 Summary:
There are 4 types of mis-typed characters which appear to be a cipher. The words affected are:
Smith!1 ElLydium t_racking first chargez proviDe o_ther sK’Rah ve shoued HIs
My following assumptions have been made:
* Spaces (seen as underscores above) appear on the second letter. As such the assumption is to take the first letter.
* Rules from the forth cipher are in play: include capitals and mis-spelt letters
* The number will be important.
We have no context of the word Sk’Rah. The naming convention of weapons with an apostrophe is non-standard, therefore R is included as a possibility.
As such the cipher I have been working on is:
1LtfzDovuHI or 1LtfzDovRuHI
A Caesarian Shift has resulted in no tangible phrases, therefore I believe a double or triple transposition is in play. I’ve tried changing ROT ± based on capitalisation but didn’t come up with anything, although there are some variations I haven’t tried.
My next step is to assume a ROT then anagram, see if that comes up with any results, but this will be done tomorrow.
PS, the number of letters I’ve identified without the R is equal to a YouTube Video link, so it was a real shame to see that the video with my letters turns to How To Grow Copper Crystals with Electricity - thought I had an amazing connection there for a second!
Could dev’s go that far in crypted messages? :o

Thats how Ellydium makes live crystals buld stuff 
It’s so much easier to spot those letters in Russian version.
Смит!1 отсLеживаем полиtике обfинения Ваz Dоктора осvидетельствования докторu Sk’Rah данныH Iерихона
1LtfzDvuHI
or including the name of the weapon
1LtfzDvuSkRahHI
That’s all I got for now with my 39 degree fever 
I don’t see any suspicious “o” letter in Russian text
EDIT I’m blind: it’s right there: " Дел о"
1LtfzDovuHI
Okay, I could come up with something new:
These are the anomalies I worked with: 1LtfzDovuHl
After correcting in original text: !LTFSDOWWHI (case probably does not matter)
Then reading backwards: IHWWODSFTL! (because of the ! mark)
Finally, without any pattern: BATTLESHIP!
I did not find any pattern or logic but from the IHWWODSFTL letters I could come up with several other words. So, can this really be the BATTLESHIP? Can there really be a “shipyard battleship”. I could see this working. A huge ship that is growing other ships. A little like a Leviathan.
Otherwise that website that the RU forum came up with is probably not a coincidence. If so, then damn.

Yaaaay 
 I spent so much time trying to finish the previous decoding as a sentence. Anyway, good job coming up with this and solving it too.

Omg I can’t believe it! This is amazing xD
But now, let’s analyze the implications of the secret message: Eugene is sending instructions to his wife on how to grow crystals. This could mean different things:
He wants his wife to grow crystals for him (unlikely)
He wants his wife to spread this info in order to make everyone able to craft crystals (Maybe it will open the “Laboratory” section in the corporation page)
His wife isn’t who she claims to me. Maybe she’s another weapon industry/corporation that wants Ellydium secrets. Think about it, why would eugene explain to his wife what those weapons of mass destruction do? I don’t think she would very interested. Well, at least every girl I know doesn’t like learning about guns…
How one can come up with an address of a video as a solution?
@Sinaka: Good catch. So a tripple logic behind that all.

This question just hit me: Isn’t this Agnes the mysterious Ms. Summer herself?
congrats cam40902 ! Good job, mate!
Looks like YouTube is the solution and the cause to all of the problems these days.
