(I gotta go cook dinner for Redbeard soon. Cuz he brings home the bacon while I sit around breaking codes )

(Hahah, I'm heading out for dinner soonish myself.)

The lone N is disconcerting. I also realize the puzzle6 clue could be sl_ OR sl_a, depending on if the last part is one single letter or not. If sl_, you're right, maybe sly?

Also, the three images of the tablets seem to say different things. But maybe they're somehow related, since they're supposed to be the same tablet.

I wonder if they match up to the morse from earlier, or the alien words. Hrm hrm.

I'm getting wordforms of sa__t_ and s_n__n from two of the tablet images, if you take them to each say one word, and the other is three letters that we don't 'know'.

(s_n__n is not suntan, although it fits nicely in theme and form. )

Tee hee

Safety?

Bah, gonna hop off and cook, then... i shall RETURN!

Alright! I'll probably still be out when you get back, but keep on!

*salute!*

You'd think an 'e' would be easy to spot somewhere, hrm hrm.

Or 'r'.

The one with Kim holding the tablet, in a pyramidal arrangement - possibly 'sunken'?

Which would make 'safety' a possibility as indicated above in another of the tablet images.

Waugh! I have to go, alas. This'll gnaw on my brain all through dinner.

Back from cooking! I do like the idea of something saying "sunken," but because the letter are broken up over multiple lines, I'm hesitant. Once I'm done stuffing my gullet with pizza I will make some comparisons.

I am seeing maaaybe a pattern in how the alpha and beta marks repeat...

Okay. So. Assuming that sunken and Atlantis are both correct, the alphabet follows this pattern: alpha mark, beta mark, both marks, none, repeat.

Using this knowledge the tablet clues might say "sunken for safety."
