Someone is sending a message through the radio.
I've heard it four times now, breaking through normal broadcasts.
AM, FM, am and pm.
All the same.
Distant music,
static,
what sounds like a record needle skipping, then a voice.
I thought it was repeating permutations of the phrase
"no worries",
but then regular patterns emerged;
repeat listens revealed that I had misheard the message.
I sent it off for analysis.
Reversing the recording reveals that
the message has been coded in binary;
what I thought was a voice telling me not to worry was in fact
a string of zeroes and ones.
Once that message was transcribed, things got weirder.
Someone is putting out a cry for help.
But why these layers of obfuscation?
Where are these being broadcast from?
