Attempt 1 (Morse): "YOU ARE ALREADY HERE"
Second transmission · 2020-09-08 · 02:17 UTC
Decoded: "THE STARS KNOW YOUR NAME"
Third transmission · 2022-02-13 · 23:59 UTC
Decoded: "SOURCE CONFIRMED. PROCEED."
// 2020-04-17 · First detection: signal at 1420 MHz (hydrogen line). Origin: triangulated as approximately 47° below horizontal. Not consistent with any aerial source. The hydrogen line is used by SETI because it occurs naturally in space. Below-ground sources should not transmit on this frequency. I filed an anomaly report. No response from any authority.
// 2020-09-08 · Cross-correlation: signal received simultaneously with first confirmed star-position anomaly. Timing: 02:17 UTC. Duration: 4 minutes 17 seconds. I noticed the duration later. 4h17m is the same time dilation reported in Experiment 3.
// 2022-01-03 · Source triangulation: Used three antenna positions to triangulate. Source is directly below the garden. At a depth of approximately 14 metres. I know what is at 14 metres depth. I have been measuring the basement levels. Level 3 is approximately 14 metres.

"The signal has been calling me since April 2020. I know this now. The stars were pointing at this house. The telescope was slewing itself to look at a star that was pointing at the basement. The basement has been transmitting on the hydrogen line — the frequency of the building blocks of the universe — because whatever is in the basement is something fundamental. I'm going to find out what it is. Tomorrow." — C. Jiang
the signal was not transmitting upward to the sky. it was transmitting to Jiang specifically. the basement knew she had an observatory. it knew she would listen. it had been waiting until she was ready to understand.
