So what if we go basic, numbers for letters and see if there’s any patterns?

Reversing it:
AEUKH or AEBAAAH or OBAKH
Or gibberish, gibberish, gibberish
It seems like the letters-to-numbers conversion is kind of like multiplying by 1. It doesn’t seem to do much of anything, does it?
Could there be some formula that we’re supposed to apply to the numbers which would then give the correct plaintext?
Yeah, it’s possible. Unfortunately we don’t have any idea of what type of equation they might have used so it would be all guesswork at this point in time.
