You get someone to bring in a whiteboard.

On the whiteboard, you write a key, so that every Ancient letter responds to a letter or symbol in Morse code.

You then have Sam type out the message for you in about ... oh, let's be generous and give her plenty of time for looking at the key ... *five whole minutes*.

Being members of an Air Force team which frequently gets stuck in odd situations, you're probably both already fluent in Morse code *anyway* (or actually tap code (http://www.airsoftgent.be/dbase/tapcode.htm) is more likely) so it shouldn't be that hard.
