ARCHIVE NOTICE: These records are fiction. The object is real.
The signal was found in a Tuesday.
Not on a Tuesday. Not during a Tuesday. Inside one. Filed between the 11am and the 2pm, in the part of the day nobody remembers experiencing but everyone arrives on the other side of.
It does not travel through space. It travels through the gap between what you meant to say and what came out.
Lost Signal has been intercepted 47 times. Each receiver reported a different message. Three people heard their own name. One heard a city they had never visited and immediately knew they had lived there. One received nothing but later could not stop recognizing strangers on the street.
The source has never been located. This is not considered unusual. Most sources prefer not to be.
In the Budgiverse, a lost signal is not evidence of failure. It is evidence that something considered you worth reaching, then changed its mind at the last possible moment.
The signal is still out there.
You are reading this.
That is not a coincidence.
