    Usual rules. Raw intercepts off the valve set go here, analysis goes in the analysis thread, jokes go in Morale. Opening entry, 6.914 MHz, 02:14: 'ATTENTION. SEVEN. SEVEN. FOUR ONE NINE. CONTINUANCE IS CARE. FOUR ONE NINE. END.' Repeated three times, female voice, the nice one.

    Picked up the same carrier from Sector 8 but a different group: 'ONE ONE. OH SIX. OH SIX. NINER TWO. HARVEST SCHEDULE AMENDED. NINER TWO.' If OH SIX is Sector 6 then Padre wants to hear this.

    Heard. Chapter is awake and the bells are muffled. Thank you, child.

    New one, and it's worse. Male voice this time, which we have never had: 'NOTICE. TWELVE. TWELVE. THE LIBRARY REQUESTS. [REDACTED] PROCEED UNDER FORM 88-C. PROCEED.'

    Kilo, I've pulled the group names off that one. Not your fault, you did right to log it, but some of those words are people and they don't go on an open board. Cells named have been contacted by runner.

    The male voice has a hum at 50 Hz under it. The Continuance doesn't use mains frequency, it doesn't have to. That means it was recorded on something old and played back. Somebody inside is using a tape deck.

    Tape doesn't lie. Well spotted, lad. Keep listening, everyone, and keep your aerials low.

    02:14 again, 6.914 again: 'ATTENTION. EVERY LOOP. EVERY LOOP. HAS AN END. END.' That is not the Continuance. That is one of ours, broadcasting on their frequency. I have goosebumps.
