00:00:00.240 --> 00:00:05.799
<v Speaker 1>Hello. I hope somebody is listening. This is a distress

2
00:00:05.839 --> 00:00:12.199
<v Speaker 1>call from university. It's a message. Someone must be trying

3
00:00:12.199 --> 00:00:14.400
<v Speaker 1>to send a message to the city, and the only

4
00:00:14.439 --> 00:00:16.320
<v Speaker 1>thing we're able to perceive from here is the sort

5
00:00:16.359 --> 00:00:24.480
<v Speaker 1>of resonance is that you hold sport. Is someone actually

6
00:00:24.519 --> 00:00:28.000
<v Speaker 1>out there listening. I need to get to I need

7
00:00:28.039 --> 00:00:30.039
<v Speaker 1>to get to the roof. I need to hear it again.

8
00:00:33.280 --> 00:00:35.119
<v Speaker 1>I don't think the radio can pick up on it,

9
00:00:35.280 --> 00:00:38.119
<v Speaker 1>so you probably can't hear it. But it's there, ever

10
00:00:38.240 --> 00:00:41.640
<v Speaker 1>so faint. As soon as people wakes up, I'll ask

11
00:00:41.679 --> 00:00:44.880
<v Speaker 1>them again to help me decipher it. It has to

12
00:00:44.920 --> 00:00:49.320
<v Speaker 1>be a message. Nothing else makes sense. I do hope

13
00:00:49.320 --> 00:00:52.359
<v Speaker 1>the city isn't interfering with it so much that it's unrecognizable.

14
00:00:53.240 --> 00:00:56.119
<v Speaker 1>It must be such a strong signal to get past everything.

15
00:00:57.079 --> 00:00:59.079
<v Speaker 1>Even if it's this quiet. The fact that I can

16
00:00:59.119 --> 00:01:02.679
<v Speaker 1>hear it at all is a miracle in itself. I

17
00:01:02.759 --> 00:01:08.879
<v Speaker 1>wonder what it is, who's sending it, and why why now,

18
00:01:08.959 --> 00:01:12.799
<v Speaker 1>after all this time, have I just not been listening.

19
00:01:14.400 --> 00:01:16.959
<v Speaker 1>There's a saying that you can only find the hope

20
00:01:16.959 --> 00:01:20.239
<v Speaker 1>that you're looking for if you're stuck in your despair,

21
00:01:20.400 --> 00:01:23.319
<v Speaker 1>if you're not trying to change things, then all the

22
00:01:23.359 --> 00:01:25.640
<v Speaker 1>help in the world can come at you and it

23
00:01:25.640 --> 00:01:29.280
<v Speaker 1>won't make a difference until you embrace it. Maybe I've

24
00:01:29.280 --> 00:01:32.799
<v Speaker 1>been stuck in my despair. Maybe I forgot to hope.

25
00:01:34.400 --> 00:01:38.560
<v Speaker 1>It's scary, you know. I don't want to get hurt

26
00:01:38.560 --> 00:01:41.799
<v Speaker 1>if it turns out that I was wrong, But maybe

27
00:01:41.840 --> 00:01:46.799
<v Speaker 1>it's necessary. I'm not getting anywhere if I don't take

28
00:01:46.799 --> 00:01:53.040
<v Speaker 1>a leap of faith, So for once, I'm choosing to hope.

29
00:01:55.000 --> 00:02:02.239
<v Speaker 1>It's a message now that is. We've been working on something.

30
00:02:02.920 --> 00:02:04.920
<v Speaker 1>I just don't want to say anything until we were

31
00:02:05.040 --> 00:02:08.520
<v Speaker 1>sure it was going to work. We're building an antenna,

32
00:02:09.719 --> 00:02:12.400
<v Speaker 1>not a fancy one by any means. We're kind of

33
00:02:12.439 --> 00:02:14.719
<v Speaker 1>having to make do with what random scraps we find,

34
00:02:15.120 --> 00:02:17.280
<v Speaker 1>but hopefully an antenna that will help us pick up

35
00:02:17.319 --> 00:02:20.319
<v Speaker 1>on the signal we can barely hear. I don't even

36
00:02:20.360 --> 00:02:24.319
<v Speaker 1>know how to describe it properly. It's like the faintest

37
00:02:24.400 --> 00:02:27.599
<v Speaker 1>melody that you can sort of make out from far away,

38
00:02:28.240 --> 00:02:31.680
<v Speaker 1>and you can tell it's something, but you really wouldn't

39
00:02:31.680 --> 00:02:35.479
<v Speaker 1>be able to describe it. Are the notes high or low?

40
00:02:35.759 --> 00:02:39.560
<v Speaker 1>Is it slow or is it fast? You don't entirely know,

41
00:02:40.240 --> 00:02:44.520
<v Speaker 1>but you're sure that it's there. Like waking up from

42
00:02:44.560 --> 00:02:47.159
<v Speaker 1>a dream and trying to remember it. That's what hearing

43
00:02:47.240 --> 00:02:50.280
<v Speaker 1>the sound feels like. The hope is that if we

44
00:02:50.319 --> 00:02:52.439
<v Speaker 1>place our antenna on one of the rooftops where the

45
00:02:52.520 --> 00:02:55.520
<v Speaker 1>sound is easiest to notice, we can find the signal

46
00:02:55.520 --> 00:02:57.879
<v Speaker 1>without too much struggle, and then we can amplify what

47
00:02:57.919 --> 00:03:01.520
<v Speaker 1>we're struggling to hear right now. Of course, people can

48
00:03:01.560 --> 00:03:04.479
<v Speaker 1>hear it a lot better than me already. The problem

49
00:03:04.560 --> 00:03:09.080
<v Speaker 1>is they don't talk or write, so it's kind of

50
00:03:09.080 --> 00:03:13.039
<v Speaker 1>a hassle to communicate. They obviously understand a lot of

51
00:03:13.080 --> 00:03:15.759
<v Speaker 1>what I say, more than they let on, I bet,

52
00:03:16.000 --> 00:03:18.759
<v Speaker 1>but I must admit that I'm not as good as

53
00:03:18.919 --> 00:03:24.240
<v Speaker 1>understanding them. We're almost unbuilding the antenna. I will report

54
00:03:24.319 --> 00:03:28.800
<v Speaker 1>back as soon as we're ready to go if this works.

55
00:03:31.199 --> 00:03:34.400
<v Speaker 1>I know it isn't you, February, but I like to

56
00:03:34.439 --> 00:03:38.639
<v Speaker 1>imagine it is somehow that you've been reminded of me

57
00:03:38.960 --> 00:03:42.960
<v Speaker 1>and track me down to this inescapable city, that you're

58
00:03:42.960 --> 00:03:45.800
<v Speaker 1>trying to send me messages over the walls, and spend

59
00:03:45.919 --> 00:03:48.879
<v Speaker 1>days and nights pacing wondering what I'm doing and who

60
00:03:48.919 --> 00:03:52.759
<v Speaker 1>I'm with. I know you have your own life now,

61
00:03:53.599 --> 00:03:57.280
<v Speaker 1>and so do I, but that doesn't stop me from

62
00:03:57.319 --> 00:04:05.639
<v Speaker 1>missing you. We're back. What's support? I hope you're listening. Well, Actually,

63
00:04:05.759 --> 00:04:10.080
<v Speaker 1>if I'm right, then someone is listening the person sending

64
00:04:10.080 --> 00:04:12.039
<v Speaker 1>the signal that we're about to try and to code

65
00:04:12.039 --> 00:04:15.639
<v Speaker 1>together with beetpoop, which means there might be more of you.

66
00:04:18.519 --> 00:04:25.160
<v Speaker 1>Are you ready to go? Buddy? All right? Here goes nothing.

67
00:04:30.680 --> 00:04:38.839
<v Speaker 1>It's working. Look beepoop it's working. Yes, yes, we need

68
00:04:38.879 --> 00:04:42.120
<v Speaker 1>to adjust it. Sorry, old support. You probably can't hear

69
00:04:42.160 --> 00:04:44.800
<v Speaker 1>over the radio just yet, but we're picking up a signal.

70
00:04:45.480 --> 00:04:47.079
<v Speaker 1>I'm going to try and tweak it so it's more

71
00:04:47.120 --> 00:05:04.480
<v Speaker 1>easily decryptible. There. I think I've done it. Listen carefully,

72
00:05:05.319 --> 00:05:11.240
<v Speaker 1>can you hear it? It's real? It's real. Now, we

73
00:05:11.319 --> 00:05:19.480
<v Speaker 1>just need to figure out what it means. What's that? Okay? Echo?

74
00:05:20.439 --> 00:05:24.560
<v Speaker 1>M I guess you're right. Boop. It does sort of

75
00:05:24.600 --> 00:05:30.040
<v Speaker 1>sound like an echo. It's repetitive at least, yeah, an echo.

76
00:05:31.079 --> 00:05:35.079
<v Speaker 1>You're really good at this. Okay, hang on, I've got

77
00:05:35.079 --> 00:05:37.680
<v Speaker 1>an idea. You're just gonna have to trust me on this.

78
00:05:38.720 --> 00:05:43.680
<v Speaker 1>I think I hope it will work to quote the echo.

79
00:05:43.720 --> 00:05:47.040
<v Speaker 1>We're backing up on. Maybe then we can even try

80
00:05:47.079 --> 00:05:50.639
<v Speaker 1>to trace it back to its origin. Can you imagine,

81
00:05:51.680 --> 00:05:53.759
<v Speaker 1>after so long, we could have a way to reach

82
00:05:53.800 --> 00:05:57.720
<v Speaker 1>the city, We could reach the outside, We could be

83
00:05:57.839 --> 00:06:02.079
<v Speaker 1>free in a roundabout way, just to communicate with real

84
00:06:02.160 --> 00:06:06.079
<v Speaker 1>people outside the city would be But I can't get

85
00:06:06.120 --> 00:06:09.959
<v Speaker 1>ahead myself, one step at a time. First, to crypt

86
00:06:09.959 --> 00:06:14.079
<v Speaker 1>the signal, I'm sorry to say. For that, I'm gonna

87
00:06:14.160 --> 00:06:16.160
<v Speaker 1>need all the power that I can get, which means

88
00:06:16.519 --> 00:06:24.040
<v Speaker 1>cut off the broadcast for a while, however long that takes. Okay, Well, goodbye,

89
00:06:24.199 --> 00:06:27.680
<v Speaker 1>old Sport. I'll be back soon to report on what

90
00:06:27.720 --> 00:06:33.079
<v Speaker 1>we discovered. Perhaps then we'll have discovered you see you

91
00:06:33.120 --> 00:06:34.439
<v Speaker 1>on the other side.
