:44:23
Wait a minute!
:45:17
The patterns are:
:45:18
-We received two 1 5-minute broadcasts.
-Non-random signals?
:45:22
1 04 rapid pulses. After a five-second
interval, 40 pulses.
:45:26
Another five-second break,
and 30 pulses.
:45:29
60 seconds of silence,
then a new set of numbers.
:45:33
40, break five.
36, break five. Ten.
:45:36
-1 04 rapid pulses.
-Lord!
:45:38
Wait 60 seconds and the
whole doggone thing repeats.
:45:42
-Where are the signals from?
-The neighborhood.
:45:45
Light-travel time, roughly 7 seconds.
:45:48
Well within the plane
of the ecliptic.
:45:50
Are these non-random signals here, 40,
36, 1 0, in response to that?
:45:55
They should be. We've sent
this combination out for weeks.
:45:59
All we're getting back
are numbers.
