ok! IF Atlantis, sunken, and safety are correct, then this MIGHT be our code!!

excuse my horrible handwriting. I will try to clean it up

Black ones are from those words above, while red ones are speculation!

Hmm. Problem with this is that it makes the puzzle6 clue "SLQ" which... idk about

But I really LIKE "Atlantis sunken for safety." Waahhh. It just FITS so WELL.

Waugh! It does!

Let me read this a bit more (and hi I am also back).

HELLO HI

Yes I definitely concur on the placements of the alpha and beta marks! I'd started sketching out some of the possibilities there right before I left and your conclusions are in line with those!

Sweet! I am currently working in a more finalized/legible graphic

SLQ is definitely weird, though.

...orrrr is it wait wait wait

SLQ might just be referring to some unknown thing, or its in Cipher

Ooooooo?

*does numbers*

Nope, that idea didn't pan out.

But, yeah, possibly a cipher to one of the earlier phrases we found?

Maybe! Try a vigenere or keywird cipher maybe? (Actually, i didnt try a regular key word decrypt on the morse and alien phrases from the book. I still think it might be "only" because of "but use only ")

Alright, I made a sparkly one that is much more legible. Again, this is still pretty speculative, but I'm feeling good about it.


Next steps to take ... well, I have a random idea of taking the illegible morse/alien phrases from the book and writing them down in oceanic script, and see if any of the glyphs are ambiguous. FOR EXAMPLE, if you were to have an S in oceanic script, it could also theoretically be PC, or PAB. I will poke at that for a bit.

I have run the alien/morse scripts through keyword ciphers, and it doesn't look like anything we've got decrypts them yet.

But yay chart!

...I wonder. What if it's a caesar cipher that's a few layers thick? Hrrrrm.
