Well, we’re not sure that it’s completely silent. We’re deciding whether to attempt another transmission.
We’re not attempting another transmission. This wasn’t predicted in any of our models. We need to make sense of the data we do have before trying again.
But we’re leaving! We won’t get to try again.
I know. And science isn’t always a race. Sometimes, you just have to do no harm.
It’s already silent. How much worse could we make it?
It can always get worse.
Ship time is now 12:00. Now commencing beta shift.

It can always get worse.
@zalmux, do you have any insight into why the artifact might have gone silent?
Silence is not absence. It is the shape of what remains unsaid.
very helpful, thank you for your contribution
Can you be less vague, Zalmux?
No.
I don’t know why I even try.
Ship time is now 20:00. Now commencing gamma shift.
Attention all crew and passengers: Custom climate adjustment routines are scheduled to be reset at t:L/384.12.4T18:00:15.
This is just a housekeeping thing since certain folks won’t be on our return journey. If you want to keep your schedule, just let ship know.
