i mean, phkr can be read as something inappropriate /NO

Shush!

Oh, we also ahve the text from the news post.

mkab ptk way tfck , yeah.

Hoom.

I'm, like, 90% sure this is easier than we're making it out to be.

That sounds about right

But until we see the little thread that'll unravel the whole sweater...

could someone post the entire string that we know of all together? i don't think i quite caught all of it

-Clues to the language
-A cipher from the deep
-Order matters
plus
"Clues to the language are hidden in the library"
"There are clues to the new language in the book by dragons."
"The cipher from the deep you're looking for was on a rock."

That's what we know!

So. "There are clues to the new language in the book by dragons" means that somehow the text in the book should have helped us figure out the oceanic script, even though ultimately we didn't go that route

i meant, the word salad that had been posted

Ohhh got you lemme dig it up

So these are the contents of the Book of Alien Languages

Yes. Yes. Well, lemme think. So ...
1) "hp" in oceanic
2) "iksn ar hkpr" in morse
3) "ki" in morse
4) "icvo rbono ano" in alien
5) "but use only" in morse

Then, when the corsair showed up, this text was super small underneath it in the news post: mkab ptk way tfck

Wow...that's a lot. Woo!

I assume we've already tried variations on letters actually being different letters? Whether something like each letter actually being a stand-in for one 3 letters down the alphabet, or just wholly a different set, etc?
