The whispers we've been tracking are true. NASA's Jet Propulsion Lab isn't processing images from Europa. They're processing *audio*.
A signal, buried six meters beneath the ice shelf, repeating a prime number sequence. The official log calls it "Ice Sheet Seismic Anomaly Gamma." What the log *doesn't* say is that the pattern matches the synaptic firings of a mammalian brain. Specifically, a cetacean's.
The agency is terrified. If this gets out, every deep-sea drilling operation on Earth becomes an international incident... because the thing under the ice isn't a probe. It's signing.
And it already knows we're listening.
