There are two typos in m_i alpha, "truely" instead of "truly" and "makind" instead of "mankind."

All of the lines are 46 characters long, counting spaces. This file name is "transcript part4of7.txt" which made me recount the line length of number of times, thinking it should be 47. Both from the 4 and 7 in the filename, and because 47 is prime.

One idea for extracting an answer was to put in different linebreaks that kept the whole thing rectangular, and read the first (or last, or Nth?) letters of the new lines. I tried 12x46 instead of 46x12, but nothing jumped out at me there. With the factorization of 552, there's thirteen non-trivial ways to split up the lines that aren't the way they were split originally.

Edit: Okay the code tag isn't very useful here, because it cuts out leading spaces on a line
