   Summary

   "...emitting a radio frequency, I tuned into it expecting little more than feedback, maybe due to a magnetic inbalance-”

   “And??”

   Wordlessly, they flick a switch, and the noise is played loud enough for the entire room to hear it. 

   “Please,” a voice sobs, “Please, it hurts- I'm scared, I just- please, I just want to live. Why doesn't anyone else want that? Why can't I- I want to-” it breaks off into more sobbing and the room practically vibrates with tension. 

   “That-! That is the language spoken by Engineer Rocky's Grace! That is HUMAN language!”

   “Yes.”

   “There is a human down there?? That shouldn't be-”

   “But there is. What now?”

   AT-5 pops up on the edges of the Eridian Solar System with no explanation. They find Simon under the ocean.
