Efof - "Coded message"

Who: Efof and many others
Where: Funeral
When: A few days after the explosions
At first Efof had joined the crowd of people because he thought they were
queuing for something good. When he realised it was the funeral procession for
the crewmembers killed in the recent attacks, it was too late to leave.
He did have friends who had been killed, he'd known Vanessa, Katrina and Harris
pretty well. But Ffionians didn't mourn like Humans seemed to, they held a
massive party and got drunk. Human funerals were so sombre and boring.
The Captain was there of course, he'd lost his finance, actually it was his
wife, Efof reminded himself. Also he'd lost his sister. Efof waved frantically
at Jay, who looked up, but tried to ignore him as he hung his head in sorrow.
Efof winced as he moved his arms back to their sides. After one was shot off on
the Red Dwarf he'd grown a new one thanks to the miracle cure the Humans called
"custard".
As the service continued, people said some words about the dead, and Efof found
it quite touching, although hoped it would turn into a Ffionian party at any
moment with everyone taking their clothes off and beginning the mass orgy before
the buffet started. It was unlikely though.
He remembered the Queen's speech from a few days ago, it was pretty rousing
stuff. He was all in favour of kicking some Hymenoptera butt. He still owed them
a good kicking from when they destroyed his home planet. Every time he'd met
them since they'd always got the better of him. What he didn't understand about
her speech though was that it's all well and good planning an attack on the
Hymenoptera, but they didn't even know where the attack came from. They can't
just launch an attack on the Hymenoptera if they don't know where they are. They
lived in massive colony spaceships that could move around the universe freely,
and nobody had spotted any recently.
Just then he felt someone tug at his arm. He winced. "Hey that's my arm that
fell off. It's still not grown properly yet." he whispered.
The person thrust a note into his hand, then when he turned around they had
vanished into the crowd of other mourners. "Hey wait... what's this?"
He looked at the piece of paper. On it were some numbers.
"What? I don't get it? These are meaningless numbers!" He held it up to the
light, to see if there was anything special about the paper. Just then he felt a
note being pushed into another of his hands. "Wait!" When he turned around there
was nobody there.
"It's a code". Was written on the second note.
"Oh." Said Efof, then looked again at the numbers. "I still don't get it. It
looks complicated, I can't be bothered."
Just then another note was put into his hand from an unseen person. "It's really
easy." it said.
Efof sighed. "It's still too hard for me. I'd better find someone who can read
this code."
The code written on the paper was:
18 16-13-12-4 4-19-22-9-22 7-19-22 19-2-14-18-22 25-26-8-22 18-8.
14-22-22-7 18-13 11-26-9-9-12-7-7-8 26-7 13-18-13-22
<OOC - Please could someone translate and let Efof know what it means? Then help
him find the person who left the note? >
