Overview:
On 10-29-2097 at 14:37, a prototype hyper-luminal communications device was turned on for the first time at Research Site 1039. To the marked suprise of the research team, one of the broadcast bands was in use. Someone is broadcasting a message on loop on broadcast band 20763. Every other band is silent.
The message is made of 6 series of tones. After each series, there is a 14.3 second pause; between repeats of the message, there is a 10.56 minute pause. In the below transcript, each tone is represented by a different number.
Given that the message is repeated with no other communications through the system, we assume the message is sent by the first group to invent the system and is intended to be received by someone else who invents the system.
At present, we don't know what the message means. Decoding it could be of extreme importance; that's where you come in. We need to know everything we can about the transmitting group, such as where they are and what they want.
We can say with 98.69% confidence that no other human civilization has invented this device, so the group responsible for the message must a non-human organization of some kind.
