THE FAN LAB / NO LAB COAT REQUIRED

Curiosity looks good on you.

Decode a message, untangle an episode number, or test your crew knowledge. Everything runs here, not through an external service.

EXPERIMENT 01 / ALIEN LANGUAGE 2

A little interstellar cryptography.

LOCAL ONLY

This workbench uses A–Z to represent the 26 Alien Language 2 symbol positions. It implements the running-sum arithmetic, not an official glyph font or screenshot decoder.

0 / 5000 characters
CIPHER POSITIONS / A = 0 … Z = 25
How the experiment works

Start with a previous ciphertext value of 0. For encoding, add the current letter’s number to the previous ciphertext number, then wrap the total at 26. For decoding, subtract the previous ciphertext number and wrap a negative result back into 0–25.

Spaces, punctuation, digits and non-ASCII characters pass through without changing the state. ASCII letters are normalized to uppercase. TFP becomes TYN (19, 24, 13), and TYN decodes to TFP. This puzzle is not suitable for protecting private information.

The official visual glyph set is not included. Supply a properly licensed glyph asset separately before advertising this as a visual symbol translator.
