  • "Here. Listen to this."
  • "We've been listening to it for the last two hours. I just needed a break."
  • "No, I know. But you really need to hear this."
  • "Fine. Shift is almost over anyway. Might as well suckle the last of that sweet nightmare milk."
  • SILENCE//00:01:37
  • "So?"
  • "Yup."
  • "That's it? Yup?"
  • "Yeah. It's a new pattern. That seemed super interesting two hours ago, but it got old. I am bored, and I am tired. And when our shift is over, I probably won't be able to sleep until two hours before I have to get up and do it all over again."
  • "Look at where the signal is coming from."
  • "What do you mean? It's right in front of us."
  • "Check the ambit on the PQZ."
  • "That's weird."
  • "Uh huh."
  • "So it's an echo?"
  • "Well the pattern repeats. First from here. And then from out there."
  • "So you think it's bouncing the signal off something outside the system? You're crazy."
  • "I'm not. Also, this kind of signal doesn't bounce. What can it hit between phasic realities?"
  • "Nothing…" [whistles]
  • "Still eager for your shift to end?"
