Hmm! Do you have a comparison guide that I can sneak a peek at? (Assuming that you went with the Greek->Latin alphabet conversion, yeah?)
I am writing one up as wr speak!
My handwriting is terrible so i had to make a fresh one hahaha
Hahah, no worries. Scribbles is the best way of figuring things out. 
Oh wow, now this is an interesting thing to wake up to! 
ALIEN SCRIPT

The crescents and dots clearly represent letters, but which ones? First clues came from the alpha, omega, and zeta node symbols. This is tricky because "omega" can represent either the last letter OR the letter "o." In this case, after some experimentation, I've determined that it's the letter "o!" And the alpha node symbol is "a," and the zeta node symbol is "z."
It's reasonable to then assume that, because "one dot with upper-left arc" means "a," then "two dots with upper-left arc" means "b." In the scout video, we hear our boy say "launch" as he presses a 6-letter word in the alien script. The second symbol is our "a" symbol and the fifth is "three dots with upper-left arc," which we can assume means "c." Aka, it spells launch! Using that lettering info, plus what we know to be "o" and "z," I put together the transliteration above.
The pyramid shaped ship in the first comic says "scout." But there are problems--the other bits of alien script don't translate so nicely. I think there is an extra layer of encryption that has to do with these vertical lines you see here: https://imgur.com/a/eIiqV

Good morning!
Dissertations on alien languages. Straight lines and dots = numbers, curved lines and dots = letters??

Hai Kim!
Good morning!
Where are you in the Adventure Zone podcast, Heimdall? It is one of my all-time favorite things ever these days.
Or I'm completely talking out of my butt. That is definitely possible.
AHHH i just finished eleventh hour and have many feels
I'm kicking myself for not listening to it sooner because I love the McElroys and have known about this show for a long time
I think it's easily their best one, but I am biased toward RP thingums. 
Hmm. I will check things over and see what my conclusions go with!
I'm not convinced on the assumption regarding zeta, primarily, but a lot of your figuring does make sense for sure.

I wanna catch up so I can listen to the end of the show in real time.
*cries* No not the end of the show! They promised Travis would take over DMing in a new world! 
Okay I will stop distracting you guys, you are clearly riddling your buns off 
Err end of the campaign!
Mostly wrt zeta - we haven't seen anything with an enclosed circle and more dots than one, yet, but that doesn't mean they don't exist. If they do, that means there's more things to fit into the alphabet.
