Since the literal sequence is mvemjsun, we convert this in base 32 to base n 
to get

n     b 32 to base n

This is sequence rich in english. Now if other languages are used we
will get yet more sequences. Seriously, though, I think being less plutonium
will make the solar system safer:-)

Have a happy Sunday/Monday,
