At a guess, Destry is speaking in a cipher, where each symbol represents a different letter. At least that’s what the repeated use of some clusters suggests. (Great. Now I’ll be up all night trying to solve the Mystery of the Dancing Martians.)
Interesting coincidence: Friday, I watched a video on YouTube called “Aliens HORRIFIED After Humans Turn Their Own Trash Into Weapons | Best HFY Stories” on the Starbound HFY channel. It was about humans using garbage as weapons in a cosmic war.
Note: the Starbound HFY channel uses real people to tell space opera style science fiction stories. There are other channels that tell similar stories, but those channels use AI voices to tell the stories.
Aaack! Panel 3 is like in Close Encounters when the aliens are shaking Jill’s house to pieces, she tries to use the phone and all she can get is the five tones repeated over and over at manic speed. Keep those kittens inside!!!
I’m reminded of an old SNL skit where it was announced that a reply had been received from outer space when a recording of earth sounds was discovered…
It translated as: “Send more Chuck Berry”!
Pertinently, Is Destry an active participant in this, or have his control circuits & subroutines been taken over by the UFO?
Fe-Anaro: Words are inadequate to express our gratitude. Not only did you show us immense kindness, but you restored to us our greatest treasure. Now our oath is fulfilled.
Queen Catshepsut the Golden: My staff and I were pleased beyond measure to take part in the fulfillment of your quest. What do you intend to do now?
Fe-Anaro: We plan to visit with Queen Mags in Afar for a time. Then my son Curu-Fin wishes to travel to Japan to meet with the Artisans there.
Mag-Lor: My brother Curu-Fin is second only to our father in creative skill.
Maed-Ros: Then we will return home to the Elven Realm.
Puckmosis: But aren’t your people angry with you? The Oath and all.
Fe-Anaro: We are not guilty of a fraction of the acts we are accused of. Still, there will be amends to be made. And now, we will take our leave with sincere thanks.
Iggy: Before you leave, I would like to give you my box I created to keep the silmarils in. I thought it was lost when I was shipwrecked, but my cousin Ziggy was able to save it.
Fe-Anaro: This was clearly a labour of love. I would be proud to house the silmarils in it.
Beatrixia: But it doesn’t seem right to keep such beautiful jewels in a box forever.
Months Later
Kat-Mandu: Elvis, here is a papyrus for you. It’s written in Tengwar Script.
Elvis-Anum: This is very pleasing! Gather around, friends. Here’s what Mag-Lor writes.
RSOTBOG!!!! [Rare Sighting Of Toe Beans On Glass, for the newbies]. I also love cats in normal cat position in panel 2, and Lupin’s “Huh?” expression in panel 3.
So far Roy has not seen “Tortimer II” in action. But Poody has, she does not fear it as much as our old Bissel, but she stuck around to observe it in action, only to recoil in horror as it comes toward her. After Roy and barbs morning nap he’ll come out to meet our newest roomba-mate.
So glad the residents of the BPH are just concerned about happenings and not scared out of their minds, the cryptological orbsters are on the job deciphering the code, and the Florida orbsters are OK as far as we know. Whew! Now I can start my day.
OT: Stamps. I broke down and bought the Hank Aaron forever stamps. My mail-in ballot will cost me 2 of my Pete Seeger stamps. So I will need some soon. I used the last of my Day of the Dead stamps too. Those were gorgeous stamps.
Oh! I just looked at the message again and realized that the symbols for T and TH are related! TH is T with a vertical line through it! (How very Tolkien of Georgia!)

Three vacs for cleaning floors under the roof
Seven for cleaning throughout every home
Nine runes, translate, go on try
One ship for the doomba on its dark throne
In the Vermont Valley where the kittens are
One ship to rule them all
One ship to send then
One ship to send vacuums
Or maybe just lend them
In the Vermont Valley where the kittens are!

There’s a kind of hum
All over the world, tonight
All over the world
You can hear the sound of a roomba above
You hope it’s not mean
Just so luminous and nobody sleeps tonight
Anyone can sense
This is not good and you know it ain’t right
So listen very carefully
It’s closer now and you will see what it means
It isn’t a dream
The other sound that you will hear
Is when it whispers in your ear
“You must clean, forever and ever”
