You are my new best mafiascum friend. You have heard of the Unicorns right? We play halo pretty much every wednesday, we play some other games occasionally when we feel the urge.

It's a simple substitution cipher...honestly

The real cipher is just a part from a book, so some common sequences might be names instead of common words. The scene is very funny in context, but maybe not so much if you don't understand the references.-

I have just discovered this thread. I absolutely adore ciphers and codes and such. Can I have a day or so before you give the answer?-

The big numbers in the digraphs are LA (19), ME (18), and PL (17), followed by ZL (12), QX (11), and XT, OX, and EM (10). I haven't checked for parity on any of this, mind, so a fraction of these results are going to be fallacious.
ME+EM suggests a reversible digraph, obviously.advice from a trans otherkin queer plural system: you don't have to accept what normal says it's possible for you to be.-

I put the cipher in digraphs, which should make it a bit easier to handle visually. This is also the original so any mistakes I might have made converting it to 5 letters shouldn't be in here.
Hint: The key has 6 letters, none of which are repeated.
And for the lulz: MT ZL TQ QK OA = Enterprise (this is a bit of a red herring though, but I can also see it being very helpful)-
