and interpret it.

Just exactly how many signals

have you interpreted?

None, exactly.

Since you've never heard from them,

do you still believe they're out there?

- Do you believe in God?

- Yes.

- Have you ever heard from him?

- No.

- How about a drink?

- Think I'm gonna turn in.

Been kind of tired.

How long do these communication

blackouts last?

Seen it go a couple of weeks before.

Once in a while

there's intermittent signals...

that last long enough to make contact

with the Brits at McMurdo.

Till then we're totally cut off?

When it gets like this,

nothing can get in or out.

Sno-Cats are useless,

and they wouldn't chance an icebreaker.

I can't believe how much it's melted.

You can almost see inside it now.

Am I crazy, or does this thing

seem to be giving off a low-grade impulse?

I can feel it in my joints.

It's really strong if you touch it. Careful.

Was the signal harmonic

when you first intercepted it?

- No.

- What does that mean?

Two or more separate frequencies

combined in one signal.

I think one's a locator pulse

and the other's plain text.

- An actual message.

- It's a lot of work just to create a hoax.

This is no hoax.

How long do you think it would take us

to rig up some kind of a horn antenna?

Hard line here?

If I can't communicate with the satellite,

I'll have to intercept the signal here.

There's an old dismantled one

in maintenance.

Abell and me can rig it up

in a few hours, I guess.

What are you gonna do?

Try and find out what's buried

in the harmonic.

How?

Mathematics.

- Any luck?

- No.

The primary signal's...

almost too obvious.

It's like some sort of beacon.

- What's your brother do?

- He's dead.

I'm sorry.

He died in a flight training accident.

You guys train together?

Yeah.

I lost interest after the accident.

I'm gonna find a real bed.

Think I ought to wake her?

No, let her sleep.

Beacon.

This is the signal we received

from NASA yesterday.

Now watch this.

- What happened to the sound?

- Nothing.

That was recorded by Osler in '47.

The signals appear identical.

Same transmission, same frequency,

same polytonal harmonics.

There's no denying the similarities

of these two events.

The moment a window of opportunity

opens in that storm...

we have to make contact with

this man Rome.

Because of his background, he's the most

likely to comprehend what we tell him.

- Bring Bachman here immediately.

- Why?

What Mr. Rome is going to hear

is best heard from somebody he trusts.

- What's the matter?

- Abell woke us up.

Said it was something with the ice block.

- What happened?

- I've never seen anything like this before.

Looks like it was created
