Explanation

MACHINE is coded as 19, 7, 9, 14, 15, 20, 11. These are the alphabetical positions where M=13, but coded as 19 (which is 13+6). A=1 coded as 7 (1+6). C=3 coded as 9 (3+6). H=8 coded as 14 (8+6). I=9 coded as 15 (9+6). N=14 coded as 20 (14+6). E=5 coded as 11 (5+6). The pattern is: alphabetical position + 6. For DANGER: D=4+6=10, A=1+6=7, N=14+6=20, G=7+6=13, E=5+6=11, R=18+6=24, giving 10, 7, 20, 13, 11, 24.
