Translation

The first ever alien transmission received by Earth was, unsurprisingly, a big fucking deal, especially given every electronic device seemed to receive it at once.


Translating it quickly became the obsession of most of the planet. But despite lots of different claims, there was no consensus, nor any definitive results. Soon it faded into something worked on by cranks in their spare time.


A few decades later, when Aliens actually arrived and made contact, one of our first questions was what the message was.


They didn't know anything about it, but left rather quickly when we replayed it for them.
