Harmonic Tones

It’s been 3 days since we’ve originally picked up on the unidentified stray sounds from deep outer space. It all started during my normal shift, 3am-11am, on Lunar Station #302. At 4:02 am while balancing on the back two feet of my chair, a usual sign of boredom, my radio monitor started screaming at me causing me to loose my balance and fall to the ground. When  I urgently got up to look at what the screen was displaying I saw an unencrypted incoming message ping on my display. My computer recognized the contact from the incoming message and immediately played the message in earpiece. “Yo, were getting crazy radio signals coming in here at #157… You getting anything over there.” Using AI integration I telepathically message her back that I am on the case. I then find a way to pin down the radio signal and send another message, “looks like its coming from the Kepler 90 star system and you should check out the radio signals in audio form, it sounds like music”.
