8-600: Spanial, Control
Ipan plays with his console for a bit and says, “I think, uh, they’re trying to communicate but we don’t understand the message format. That signal just got a lot more complicated, like they’ve switched transmission modes or something. Anyway, I’m recording everything, maybe we can figure out whet they’re saying later…”
He trails off, continues working his console, presumably trying to analyse the signal.
After a bit the static goes silent.
Unknown vessel…we mean you no harm. If you can hear us and understand, please respond…We have no desire to disrupt your ships or your lifeforms, we simply wish to communicate… and take safe passage through your airspace…
And the static resumes again.
“Why…why don’t you try replaying that melodic static back to them?”
