[b][i]Natalie and Alexandra pick up on this, listening in intently to the channel[/i][/b]
-
It seems to be two people talking to each other in a foreign language. Normal for any transmission this far out. What's odd about this one is that the conversation is taking place on one end of the line and being broadcast out on open air... Like a radio broadcast...?
-
[b][i]Intrigued by this broadcast, Alexandra pulls a chair up and sits by a computer, with Natalie on a radiowave definicitacor (pinpoints radio waves, not real device sadly), and they attempt to find the source of the signal. [/i][/b]
-
The signal is barely encrypted, and is quite easy to pinpoint as barely half a lightyear away— [i]Holy shit.[/i] The ping returns a MASSIVE number of ship readings, numbering six digits teetering on seven, containing the mass of several planets. It must be some sort of interfleet radio show. What they're doing out here, though, remains a mystery.

[spoiler]did you get this cleared for plot purposes fam? Because everyone's on one ship currently. [/spoiler]
-
[spoiler]Yes.[/spoiler]
-
[spoiler]wait, who exactly cleared you?[/spoiler]
-
[spoiler]Murph.[/spoiler]
-
[spoiler]okay. [/spoiler] [b][i]Intrigued by this, they send a radio broadcast to one of the ships. [/i][/b]

[b][i]Cephalon runs it through a translator in his mind, and responds.[/i][/b] "This is the Infinity, do you copy?"
-
It seems to be a one way channel. The translator barely works, not recognizing the language and translating basic words with roots in Afrikaans. It seems to be two people talking to each other, and nothing else.
-
[b][i]He tries to pull as much from he conversation as he can, running it through multiple translators to figure out words.[/i][/b]
-
Each translator pulls out the same thing: An unknown language mostly derived from Afrikaans, with a completely different phonetic structure. You can't seem to pull anything else, but the words you CAN translate seem to point to a normal conversation being broadcasted— Until you hear something completely mind boggling. "You're listening — Radio. Tune — Is —" It seems to be a radio show. What the hell would something like that be doing out here?
-
[b][i]He keeps translating, trying to lock into its location[/i][/b]
-
Signs point more or less to the radio theory. The signal is barely encrypted, and is quite easy to pinpoint as barely half a lightyear away— [i]Holy shit.[/i] The ping returns a MASSIVE number of ship readings, numbering six digits teetering on seven, containing the mass of several planets.

[b][i]Cephalon records this, and decides to bring it to the captain.[/i][/b]

[b]Jared is in his ship looking over blueprints when he gets the message[/b] "Oh joy, broken code......" [b]He gets on the ship's console and runs it's decryption cycle[/b] "Hope this works"
-
The hexadecimal is extremely easy to crack, simply there as a default mode in order to enable farther reach. What you hear, however... Is quite a bit tougher to understand. It seems to be two people talking to each other in a foreign language. Normal for any transmission this far out. What's odd about this one is that the conversation is taking place on one end of the line and being broadcast out on open air... Like a radio broadcast...?
-
[b]He runs a translation[/b] "even the ass end of the univers has a late show i guess"
-
It doesn't seem to match any phonetics pattern in the computer, although the language seems to be derived from Afrikaans.
-
[b]He alters his software to match words to that language, and then convert to the english equivilent[/b]
-
Each translation pulls out the same thing: An unknown language mostly derived from Afrikaans, with a completely different phonetic structure. You can't seem to pull anything else, but the words you CAN translate seem to support the theory.
-
[b]He decides to get the coordinates, so he can at least find out WHERE it is coming from[/b]

[spoiler]Sorry, Murph won't let me bring in another race.[/spoiler]
