The Crab Canon Signal
Stardate 7.31.85: The deep space array Hofstadter has detected an anomaly near the event horizon of black hole Cancri-X9.
The Discovery
Dr. Elena Bach, the station's chief communications officer, made the initial analysis:
"The signal streaming from the void as a strange property"
She pauses, reviewing her notes.
"Someone out there wants us to decode this. They left us breadcrumbs—a reference to an ancient encoding system. The message is hiding in plain sight."
The Challenge
The transmission has been captured by our sensors. Your mission:
- Retrieve the signal data
- Decode the transmission
- Discover what message lies within
- Report your findings to Mission Control
Technical Notes
"The ancients encoded their messages in the simplest. But meaning emerges when you know how to read it." — Dr. Bach's personal log
Binary to decimal to character. The message mirrors itself.
