“Aye, Lieutenant, I’m ready.” Replied Sebastian, but just then something caught Sebastian’s eye: the Decipher he had A'Kilees had created seemed to have picked up something of the aliens' language. Sebastian checked and double-checked the readings.
[ Letter Musical Note Frequency (Hz)
F F4 349.23 Hz
R G4 392.00 Hz

F R I E N D
Played in sequence, the melody would be:
F4 → G4 → A4 → B♭4 → C5 → D5
This creates an ascending six-note phrase that sounds somewhat like the beginning of a major-scale melody. On a piano, it would be a bright, uplifting progression.
The frequencies form this pattern:
349.23 Hz → 392.00 Hz → 440.00 Hz → 466.16 Hz → 523.25 Hz → 587.33 Hz
which steadily rises in pitch, giving the word "FRIEND" a naturally positive musical contour.]
“I think I found something,” announced Sebastian. Not directing his comment to anyone in particular. Sebastian's excitement was building; maybe just maybe the decipher algorithm, if given more time, might be able to figure out more words, more phrases. This could be a huge advancement, even if they didn't figure out any other words, if the crew of the Zephyr could just keep playing the one word he had discovered,
