Palindromes.

DIGETAL INTERPRETATION
VIRTUALLY INVISIBLE
SOS RQ

Non-palindromes

SHADOW FORCES
LUCID MEMORY
TISYOUR POSITION

For the non-palindromes, we leave out SHADOW FORCES for now.

For the other two, we simply take the first letter. That gives us:

LMTP

For the palindromes, we leave out SOS RQ. For the other two, we take the center of the palindrome.

With DIGETAL INTERPRETATION, the P is the center of NTERPRETA, the Morse code palindrome. Right above the P on the physical copper plating is the misspelled E. So far, we have

LMTPPE

Next is VIRTUALLY INVISIBLE. EINVISIBLE is a perfect palindrome and we should take the middle S. But take a look at the physical plating. Note how the S is cut off in the center of the plate?

What we really have is this:

VIRTUA/LLY
INVII/EIBLE

We take the A and I just before the separation.

LMTPPEAI is what we have so far.

We are left with two groups of Morse code.

SHADOW FORCES
SOS RQ

On the physical slab, the S's are directly above or below the O's. It could be either letter, but in this case, it's the S's that we need.

LMTPPEAISS can be anagrammed to PALIMPSEST

This ordering (swapping the P rows) has a cool feature.

THREE!

This looks like a clue for the next keyword.
T IS YOUR POSITION? Three starts with T.

Actually, what if THREE is a clue to use Quagmire III?
