[>] SIGNAL ACQUIRED // PID: 31337 // UPTIME: ∞

TRANSMISSION LOG

The signal was first detected at 03:17 UTC on a frequency that shouldn't exist. Standard broadcast bands end at 300GHz. This was something else entirely -- a carrier wave embedded in the thermal noise floor, invisible to conventional receivers. We built custom hardware. Soldered at 3AM with bleeding fingers. The first decoded packet contained a single repeated string: SIMIDIOTS SIMIDIOTS SIMIDIOTS. We didn't choose the name. The signal chose it for us.

SIGNAL DEGRADING

W4rning: dat4 integrity compromised. The bu||er is overfl0wing. We've been monitoring this feed for 847 consecutive hours and the signal-to-noise ratio is collapsing. Each hour the carrier drifts further from its original frequency. Each hour more data corrupts. The pattern recognition algorithms are finding faces in the static -- pareidolia or prophecy, we can't distinguish anymore. The basement smells like burning capacitors. Someone turned the lights off three days ago and nobody noticed.

SNR: -14dB // DEGRADATION: 67% // EST. CARRIER LOSS: IMMINENT
