    I just got this signal in game. I saved it to the laptop because it was so cool. "Surely this will process into something cool" I think to myself. When you process it, it completely kills the audio. Not even the usual static, just silence. It's like a biologist finding a majestic bird with a beautiful sound, then destroying it by trying to dissect it to find out more.

      I wish I could send the unprocessed copy to the labs. I saved a backup of the signal but foolishly processed the original and sent it off without even listening to what I had done. I have the backups for signals like these, but can't send them. I wonder if there's email responses tied to these particular signals.

    First time i got this signal i was streaming the game to a friend late at night, it simultaneously creeped us out, but made us way more curious.
    Lot of things can be missed in the game, and more than enough things go unanswered pertaining to signals, entities, places and hell even the other doctors in the emails.
    But knowing that the supernatural is just as prevalent as the sci-fi and potentially being directly connected with this sort of angelic choir being projected from a black hole by a super-structure just sets the scale for how little you'll ever understand, IF you're even able to find a quarter of it. the song captures that feeling pretty perfectly too.

      Not a Dyson Sphere, it is a Penrose Ringworld which is a ringworld built around the blackhole because black hole have a lot of energy that could be harvested.
      As a side note, in Stellaris there is a Fallen Ancient Empire that has multiple ringworlds systems, they are called 'The Caretaker', they are a synthetic entity and their memory is slowly or already corrupted or degraded that they can't remember what they are guarding the galaxy of from, this music fits for them.

    In my view this symbolises the totality of progress of species, given that the black hole is contained within a dyson sphere I think it shows both the elegant beauty of a species' full potential and might and also the inevitable fact that the universe will have an end, even despite the capabilities of that species, it is both astonishing and also terrifying. This song would play very nicely into that considering its place in the Caretaker. As a species progresses further and further it only comes closer to the extremes of its potential and also closer to its inevitable demise.

      I came to this video to see if someone else reached that exact conclusion. After all, how much farther can a species progress after building a dyson sphere around a black hole? It's a testament to how far you can come as a species, but also a reminder of the limitations of the void we find ourselves contained in. The ominous angelic humming is almost like a message that says "Behold, the end of all things."

    An advanced civilization could theoretically survive long after the last stars in the universe burn out, by harvesting rotational energy from black holes via the Penrose Process. The megastructure in this signal's image could be built for that purpose. A song from Everywhere at the End of Time playing during the signal seems to support this theme of the heat death of the universe. Maybe these aliens are preparing ahead?

    I didn't realize where this was from when I found it in game at first. In the original piece, this is a musical rendition of a phenomena known as 'terminal lucidity,' where around 1/3 of people with dementia will often seemingly recover their minds almost completely for a short period before their deaths. At this point, their brains are basically sponges filled with holes and plaques, completely destroyed. In my opinion, there is no real scientific explanation of the phenomena, it is basically a psi phenomena, similar to children who remember memories of past lives.
