However, when Midshipman A'kilees integrated his phonetic isolation algorithm; running the drone's recorded audio through the Universal Translator while strictly applying the Base-12 mathematical matrix established by their six-digit hands, the cipher finally cracked open! The UT stopped trying to translate "letters" and started translating "concepts" based on chord progressions and frequency ratios.==
