HYPERBASS FLUTE

I present, THE OCTOBASS

It’s so big that it needs keys to hit the strings.

And in the reverse direction there exists the Pochette. Translated from French, it means pocket, as it was a pocket sized violin like instrument.

But it quickly fell apart...

The Star Trek title card generator is over here:

The sitemaker (Josh Mayfield at https://bsky.app/profile/bean525.bsky.social) has asked for people to come in and kick its tires so he can work out any bugs they turn up. So do give him a hand, if you feel inclined. :)

(also, deeply amused by this one...)

Yeah, I mean it's clearly not random, especially since there are a few places where there's a recognizable date and time format.

But with it only using 7 different letters it'd probably be difficult or impossible to decode.

She noted that IDDXL is the same length as MARCH or APRIL. There were two other things that showed up in the month slot for dates, CIDIX and IMXMMM, the former also being 5 letters and the latter being 6, which would just line up with AUGUST. We both noticed that if the former 5-letter month is MARCH and the latter is APRIL, that would make I=A and D=P line up, with I=A also tracking for AUGUST. I also noticed that IMXMMM=AUGUST make S, T, and U all being M groups up rather neatly alphabetically, so I decided to note these assumptions down as:

This... lines up rather nicely. It also makes DC and IC (not pictured) showing up after times line up to PM and AM. I take it to its natural conclusion:

This leaves the last 5 letters of the alphabet as a bit of a mystery, but... as I'm looking at the screenshot up above again now... [MVIDIX] MVIDIX DMVDI looks like [SEARCH] SEARCH QUERY [MCLCCIC XCDMM MIDV] even looks like [UNKNOWN INPUT TAPE] So I'm thinking VWXYZ is all I as some sort of default. So starting to decode the rest of the screenshot...

This is... a webpage? Why? What? How? How did someone seemingly accidentally copy/paste a whole webpage, convert all the text to a Roman numeral-based code, and then send it to a plane ID blog? I suppose the latter can be explained if they meant to just copy an image with a plane in it but... the code conversion. How. At this point I'm not putting a ton of effort into every word of the last block of text, but skipping to what I can get...
