For three cycles, the listening array at Station Theta has been dead. Silent. We thought the deep-space relays had finally calcified. Then, last night, the spectrograph woke up screaming.
XTP Report: Log Fragment 0sdla-001 Classification: Ephemeral / Uncategorized Origin: Drift Station Theta, Outer Shelf
The designation 0sdla-001-xtp is not a file code. It is a sound.
