Mara tried to hold the center. She established protocols: slow cadence, peer-reviewed steps, open logs for experiments that did not require national security constraints, and strict prohibitions on weaponization. She argued that the signal had revealed principles of transformation—not destruction—and that rushing toward commercial exploitation would likely collapse its subtleties into blunt utility.

As their models deepened, so did the mystery. The pulse trains encoded transformations—mappings of coordinates onto shapes, mathematical fractals embedded in timing. In one instance, the pattern, when plotted across three dimensions and rotated slowly, rendered a crude silhouette of a hand cupping a small sphere. A second pattern translated into a sequence that, when the team fed it into a slow printer, produced a paper folded into tiny modules: a tessellated globe that reflected their lab lights like a secret. The globe was too regular to be natural and too elegant to be random. e b w h - 158
