First Contact
Space station - first confirmed alien transmission detected
Full Script
Dr. Rodriguez: It's not random noise. This is a pattern. An algorithm. Someone out there is trying to reach us.
Commander Hayes: You're certain? This isn't another false positive?
Dr. Rodriguez: I've run it through every filter we have. This is deliberate. This is... it's a message.
Commander Hayes: Can you decode it?
Dr. Rodriguez: Not yet. But the mathematical structure is beautiful. Elegant. Whoever sent this is... advanced.
Commander Hayes: Or dangerous. We need to inform Earth Command before we respond.
Dr. Rodriguez: By the time they make a decision, the signal will be gone. We have to answer NOW.
Commander Hayes: And if we're making first contact with something hostile?
Dr. Rodriguez: Then at least we'll know we're not alone.
