This is an I Heart Podcast.

The murder of an 18-year-old girl in Graves County, Kentucky,
spk_0
went unsolved for years. Until a local housewife, a journalist, and a handful of girls
spk_0
came forward with a story.
spk_0
Merk and y'all better work the hell up.
spk_0
Bad things happens to good people in small towns.

I'm Jonathan Goldstein, and on the new season of Heavyweight, and so I pointed the gun at him and
spk_0
said this isn't a joke. A man who robbed a bank when he was 14 years old, and a centenarian
spk_0
rediscoveres a love lost 80 years ago.
spk_0
How can a 101-year-old woman fall in love again?

MagMill was a production of I Heart Radio and Bamford Productions.
spk_0
Ladies and gentlemen, if I can have your attention please, thank you all for coming today for this
spk_0
monumental occasion. Today we launch a mission into understanding our greater world,
spk_0
and to help us usher in a new era of space exploration. With thanks to the scientific
spk_0
community for supporting us and General Tompkins for believing in this mission,
spk_0
we have been able to discover so much so far. Though we are proud of the work that we have done here,
spk_0
as you know, we can only do so much on the ground, which is why we are extremely excited to take
spk_0
Project MagMill to the next level today and launch a vessel into the farthest reaches of space
spk_0
to explore the Helix Nebula and help us gain some valuable insight into the inner
spk_0
workings of our universe. Ladies and gentlemen, I would like to introduce you to our
spk_0
intrepid space explorers and the crew of the MagMill, Captain Janna Prescott, and Captain Sydney Owens.
spk_0
We will now take a few questions from the press before these two embark on their historic journey.
spk_0
Yes? What do you hope to find once you reach the Helix Nebula?
spk_0
Honestly, that part is a bit of a mystery to me. Personally though, I hope to get some more
spk_0
information on how stars conform within them, especially considering the Helix used to be a star,
spk_0
much like our own son. Captain Prescott, are you nervous to pilot the first true interstellar
spk_0
mission such as this? Janna, what? Sorry, I'm sorry, what was the question?
spk_0
Please forgive my wife as you can expect. A mission such as this requires intense concentration.
spk_0
Her head is already in the stars. Yes, you up front.
spk_0
Now, I'm not a space expert or nothing, but isn't something like this a bit dangerous?
spk_0
Well, isn't all space travel inherently dangerous?
spk_0
Yes, but considering the length of the mission and the distance away from home, how safe is this
spk_0
mission in particular? What are the chances of the crew making it back?
spk_0
I'll take this one. Yeah, we have done extensive research into just that.
spk_0
Well before we even decided on a manned mission such as this, and we are fully confident for not
spk_0
only 100% success in regards to the information gathering, but also when it comes to the safe return
spk_0
of our crew. I sure hope so. Thank you all for coming, but that is all the time that we have,
spk_0
these two have got to get ready for launch, but let's hear it for them one more time.
spk_0
Hey, is everything okay? You seem distracted. Yeah, I'm fine. Just a little bit of nerves, I guess.
spk_0
Yeah, I'm nervous too, but you heard Kevin nothing to worry about. I mean, if you can't trust
spk_0
your own husband, who can get trust, right? Yeah, exactly. We're about to change our lives forever.
spk_0
Just think nothing will ever be the same after this. You don't know the half of it. What's that?
spk_0
Nothing. Forget it. Come on. Let's go make history.
spk_0
MagMail. Episode 10. See ya when I see ya.
spk_0
Tee, run through the scans again. Range from, hmm, let's say December through the present.
spk_0
Is there anything in particular I am looking for to narrow down the search parameters?
spk_0
I don't know. Anything. Anything out of the ordinary. Anything related to, I don't know,
spk_0
the fucking black hole we just went through. Scanning. And run a diagnostic check on yourself,
spk_0
Jesus. What are you doing? Just trying to retrieve some data from when we went through the nebula
spk_0
figured we had some time to kill, so why not? What did you set it for? Any abnormalities in the scans?
spk_0
I thought maybe if we find something we can compare it to the scans of that electrical storm,
spk_0
you know what the, you think that's gonna work? Do you have a better idea? I mean, what the hell else are we doing?
spk_0
Right. Got it. You know that finishing each other's sentences thing was creepy the first 50 times
spk_0
and it didn't get any less so plus it's fucking annoying. I'm starting to feel a little violated.
spk_0
Yeah, it's like, I don't know, the only way to describe it is like competing memories or something
spk_0
that didn't happen yet, but they're all crying out for attention. Great. Like annoying memory babies.
spk_0
Does it scare you? Which part? Any of it? All of it. That's a fucking loopy. It does. Are you serious?
spk_0
I mean, it's crazy, right? Like there has to be some scientific reason for all this and it's,
spk_0
it almost scares me to ask just how many times have we done this? How many lives have we lived and
spk_0
not to sound morbid or anything, but sometimes I think I can almost remember what it feels like.
spk_0
What what feels like? Death. Okay, that's enough out of you for now. Thank you very much. I definitely
spk_0
don't need that creeping through my head, but I'm sorry. It's fine. I guess it helps distract from
spk_0
the perpetual headache that I've had. Yeah, I've got one too. But you've got a plan. Something to
spk_0
help us out of this, right? Yes, well, at least I think so, a work in progress. We just need to get
spk_0
to the planet and we can take the next steps from there. I sure hope you know what you're doing. Yeah.
spk_0
Yeah, me too.
spk_0
MagMail will return after these messages.
spk_0
All I know is what I've been told and that's a half-truth is a whole lie.

For almost a decade, the murder of an 18-year-old girl from a small town in Graves County,
spk_0
Kentucky, went unsolved. Until a local homemaker, a journalist, and a handful of girls came forward
spk_0
with a story. I'm telling you, we know Quincy, know that, we know. A story that law enforcement used
spk_0
to convict six people and that got the citizen investigator on national TV.
spk_0
Through sheer persistence and nerve, this Kentucky housewife helped give justice to Jessica Curran.
spk_0
My name is Maggie Freeling. I'm a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist, producer, and I wouldn't be here
spk_0
if the truth were that easy to find. I did not know her and I did not kill her or rape or burn
spk_0
or any of that other stuff that y'all said it. They literally made me say that I took a match and
spk_0
struck into it on her. They made me say that I poured gas on her.

spk_0
And now back to MagMail.
spk_0
A fuck what now? Out the main viewport. To the right. What is it T? What's out there?
spk_0
Oh, apologies. I did not mean to frighten you. There is nothing out there to concern you,
spk_0
but I thought you just like to know. No, what T? Spit it out already.
spk_0
The planet. We're here. What? We are? That was faster than I thought. It was, but we're here.
spk_0
And we need to... I can't breathe. Not get off, Janna. What's the filter and I'll smash it.
spk_0
I saved her. I stopped it from taking control of her. Taking over.
spk_0
Okay, I do not like it when that happens. It's happening more and more.
spk_0
We're on to something. Yeah, but it just gave me a whole new slew of memories and let me tell you
spk_0
something bad is going to happen. Oh, not this time. We're not going to let it. Yeah, but sit, I can
spk_0
feel it. Yeah, I know. I feel it too, but we can do this. We can stop this. We just need to think about
spk_0
what we know so far and use that to help us stop it. Well, we know there's a black hole in going
spk_0
through it, trapped us in a totally fucked situation and that fucking mold from the ghost ship is
spk_0
making us see weird shit. Oh, and we can't trust Prodyist. That's for damn sure. I'm sorry,
spk_0
did I miss something? Very optimistic. And we need tea. I'm surprised at you, Janna. You know,
spk_0
you can trust. Trust, trust me. See, I don't remember the decayls, but something is up with him and I
spk_0
don't fucking like it. I am running diagnostics to resolve the issue. I shut the fuck up, you rushed
spk_0
bucket. Do you not want me to tell you about what I just encrypted? I already know what it is,
spk_0
tea is probably better if we don't play it. Wait, what is it? It's a video of us from the last
spk_0
loop where I where you what's it? Look, it doesn't matter because it's not going to happen. How do
spk_0
you know that? Because of what you just said. We know it. So we can stop it and I won't have to
spk_0
fly the ship to try to get away from the black hole. You fly the ship? Yes, yes, I fly the ship. I know
spk_0
this is ultimately in the end my fault because I'm the one who flies us back through the black hole,
spk_0
but you don't have you don't have to sound so surprised that I was flying it. No, Sydney, it's not
spk_0
the ship. That's where it all begins and ends technically because the ghost ship was our ship.
spk_0
Think about it. What do you mean? Fuck, okay, look, I'm not going to even pretend to understand how a
spk_0
ghost ship version of our ship winds up where it does when we found it, but okay, if I never went
spk_0
on to the ghost ship, I wouldn't have found the idol or the mold for that matter and it wouldn't
spk_0
have gotten into tea and it wouldn't have fucked with us. And if you don't fly the ship through the
spk_0
black hole to begin with, it wouldn't have wound up where it was and we would have never found it to
spk_0
begin with. So wait, if we get rid of the ship, we get rid of the problem. Yes, exactly. But if
spk_0
fuck, but if we do that, we have no way out and how would we even get rid of it to begin with?
spk_0
We don't need to get out of here, but we need is to reset the loop and it seems like every time we
spk_0
get sucked into the black hole, the loop resets, that black hole out there is coming for us ship or
spk_0
no ship. The ghost ship is like, I don't know, a memory of the past or something, somehow finding
spk_0
its way to the exact moment it needs to be. But this time, if we reset and the ship is gone,
spk_0
it doesn't exist. So when we return, things would play out differently. How the fuck did I just
spk_0
think of that? But look, don't we need to be on the ship for it to reset? I'm grasping its
spk_0
straws here, Sydney. None of this makes sense. I'm just trying to find a solution and try something
spk_0
different. Okay, but logically, how is that a solution? We just strand ourselves out in the middle
spk_0
of nowhere. No, we're not stranded. We reset, but with no ghost ship. And if nothing else,
spk_0
we have the survival pod. Remember, look, it's not a perfect plan, but it is a plan, isn't it? It's
spk_0
at least a chance. I don't know, Jenna. Jesus, fuck, okay, fine. Then you give me something. What's
spk_0
your genius plan that you claim to have? I just, I'm sorry, you're right. Your plan is better.
spk_0
It's just, it's something and we do have to do something. It's, it's a good plan, but
spk_0
we need to at least try to avoid getting sucked into that thing. Look, I'm not a specialist here,
spk_0
but with all those weird cracks and hearing stuff from other timelines happening more and more,
spk_0
I don't know how much more it's going to be able to take. But what if the black hole is too far away?
spk_0
What if it doesn't reset? I don't know. Anything is a possibility now.
spk_0
Make Kevin told me it was unlikely that any of this would even happen in the first place, and yet
spk_0
here the fuck we are. Okay, if we don't reset and, and if we are stuck, well then I, I guess
spk_0
that's where the survival pod comes in, doesn't it? I mean, those things are meant to last.
spk_0
They're meant for emergency, so we can sit tight and activate the C-class level emergency protocols.
spk_0
What does that do? The very least, they'll make T send back an emergency beacon to command,
spk_0
and hopefully they send someone to come get us. But dude, this is all worst-case scenario,
spk_0
and you need the access code to even get to it. Well that just seems useless.
spk_0
Why that would command hide an emergency beacon in a secret level of programming that we aren't
spk_0
even supposed to know about? I had that same question as well because you're right, it does seem pointless,
spk_0
but obviously I had some time to explore the C-class protocols, so I did some digging.
spk_0
Apparently it has a fail-safe timer that if God forbid something happened to us,
spk_0
we did not return after a certain amount of time, like after five years or so,
spk_0
it would automatically activate and send out the beacon for them to try to find us. But
spk_0
I also found that you can manually activate the beacon as well, but again, that is all provided.
spk_0
One has the access code, which of course, we aren't supposed to. Okay, and how does the beacon
spk_0
differ than the one we already know about? I mean, the normal beacon is the one that led us to the
spk_0
ghost ship version of the magmail to begin with, so what makes this C-class one so special? Basically,
spk_0
range. Our regular one only has a short range distance, one that fell within the parameters of the
spk_0
mission we knew about, but this one, this one has significantly longer range. I'm talking deep,
spk_0
deep space here. If we want them to find us, this is the one we have to use. This is what we have to do.
spk_0
Do you understand? Okay. Okay? Yes. Okay. Let's do this. Okay, great. T, take us down to the planet.
spk_0
There's just one thing I have to do first. What's that? What the hell said? What did the
spk_0
idol ever do to you? This is a lot more stuff than I thought it would be.
spk_0
Considering the survival pod is meant for emergency situations only, where you may be to sustain
spk_0
yourself for a long period of time. It is understandable. Any word from Janne yet? No.
spk_0
There is still too much interference for a clear signal, but I will keep trying. Thank you.
spk_0
This one is a lot. That is the generator. It will help power not just the survival pod,
spk_0
but also the automated functions, as well as my core systems. So how does that work with you, I mean?
spk_0
Generally speaking, we will remove my operating system from the ship and transfer to the pod's main
spk_0
systems. While not all of my regular functions will continue to be available, I am still able to
spk_0
assist with most tasks. And what about the emergency beacon? Once C-class level emergency protocols
spk_0
are fully activated, I will automatically send the distress beacon back to command at the lighthouse.
spk_0
Will they get it? It was designed for deep space transmission. So theoretically speaking, yes.
spk_0
Theoretically? Yes. Statistically, the odds are mostly in our favor. Better than not.
spk_0
No. No. No. No, this can't be happening. This is a fucking way for me.
spk_0
Do you hear that? I am detecting something unusual. It seems like the electrical storms, but not.
spk_0
Janne is in trouble. How do you know? I still can't raise her on the comms.
spk_0
I just... I know, dammit. I have to save her. Sydney, wait.
spk_0
Janne? Janne, are you there? Janne? Janne, is that you?
spk_0
Help me, mommy. No. No. No.
spk_0
I know you are not real. I know you're just fucking with me. Help me please, mommy. I'm so cold. Stop it.
spk_0
Stop. Enough of the games. I know what you are. I know you're just doing this, doing what your instincts
spk_0
tell you, but you helped me remember once and now it's my turn to help you. It hurts, mommy.
spk_0
It hurts. It hurts. Stop doing this and remember. You've done this before and you'll just keep doing it again
spk_0
unless you help me. Please help us. The only way that this can happen is it is...
spk_0
help me find Janne. Remember? Yes. Yes, remember. This all of this we leave. We've gone through this
spk_0
already. Please help me find my friend. It's the only way to stop this. I'm just so cold. So...
spk_0
Green. I don't know why you hate us. I don't know why you're doing this to us, but if you don't help us,
spk_0
if you don't help me, this is going to keep happening to you. Understand? We're going to be stuck
spk_0
doing this forever and ever and you'll never get what you want. I don't know what you are doing or
spk_0
what that fucking thing is or how you are even connected, but you need to stop and think about what you
spk_0
are doing. We call, we feed, we consume. It is our way. Your way isn't working anymore, don't you?
spk_0
Get it. I know you remember. I know you do. You told me you do. But if we ever want to get out of this,
spk_0
we need to work together. We need to stop this together and then you consume whatever the hell you want.
spk_0
That is beyond our country. What is?
spk_0
You are the best.
spk_0
Beth, you are the best.
spk_0
You will. Yes. Thank you. Yes. Yes, can you bring me to her? Can you help me find Jana, please?
spk_0
This way. Thank you.
spk_0
Jana! Jana, coming for you. Okay, Jana, I'm here. Jana, okay, Jana, look at me. Jana,
spk_0
Jana, find Jana. Okay, all right, all right. You need to stop this.
spk_0
Caitlin, Caitlin, you need to stop this. Please, please, you need to let me save her, okay? I need her.
spk_0
This is the only way it's going to work. Okay, look at me. Jana, look at me. Look at me.
spk_0
Look at me. Look at me. Look at me. Do you hear me? Caitlin, let her go.
spk_0
Oh my God, Jana. Jana, come on. Who are you talking to?
spk_0
I know. Do you know? Jana, we just need a minute. We gotta go. No, we don't.
spk_0
All right, you can take a minute later. We need to get out of here.
spk_0
We need to get out of here before this thing gets both of us.
spk_0
Hurry, get out. Hurry, get out. Let her go. The mold. It's sentient and I think it's
spk_0
gonna help us now. All right, you should do to get talked to that thing too.
spk_0
I don't think it's that easy. Come on. We gotta go.

spk_0
I
spk_0
Tee what happened out there. I kept trying to raise you on the cons. She's hurt.
spk_0
Jan is hurt. You need to get her to the med bay immediately and I will look after her.
spk_0
No, not a fucking chance. I don't trust you. I know your systems are corrupt and you've been
spk_0
playing us. My systems are fine. I assure you. Tee you were compromised. I'm fairly certain
spk_0
mold got into your system and did something. But I think you're okay now. I think you're back
spk_0
to offlook. Look here. A piece of it. A piece of it got on me. I was helping Jan but it's dormant
spk_0
now right now. No, I don't like that it's still sticking you but that's at least of our problems
spk_0
right now. Whatever that thing is out there, it's coming for us. We got to think of something.
spk_0
Well, we can we can't leave because even if it follows us, that is just going to lead us to
spk_0
reset loop again. Oh, right. Right, right, right. Stop. Okay. Uh, we can't do that unless.
spk_0
Well, what are you thinking? Shit. What if we learn it away from us but trick it? How so?
spk_0
Tee once we remove your operating core, will the autopilot still work?
spk_0
Yes. At least in theory it should. I won't be able to navigate it but we can pre-chart a course
spk_0
but even then the magmail might fall off course and be unable to continue to lie.
spk_0
Do that. Chart a course straight into that fucking black hole. What? We can't do that.
spk_0
We're not. Don't worry. We're staying here. We are. We are. We're going to lead that thing
spk_0
right out of there and blow it to fucking pieces with this self-destruct. Holy shit Jan,
spk_0
are you're a genius? Tee, would that work? Statistically speaking, yes, it should.
spk_0
With that ship gone and that fucking thing gone with it, that should be enough to disrupt the loop,
spk_0
right? I mean, nothing would be going back through the black hole then. We'll be safe.
spk_0
Well, as safe as we can be on this planet. That's a risk I'm willing to take.
spk_0
Is there survival pod all set? Almost one more thing and Tee's operating core.
spk_0
Okay, good. Go grab that. I'm gonna go prep the ship and set the self-destruct sequence so
spk_0
we can end this fucking thing once it's all. Are you sure? Yeah, I'm sure. I'll catch up to you as
spk_0
soon as I pull the switch. Now go. We don't have much more time.
spk_0
Did you chart the course Tee? Yes, good. Good. Good because I'm coming up to your central core now.
spk_0
Are you ready? Disengaging from the magmael's central systems in three, two, one.
spk_0
Come on. Come on.
spk_0
All right.
spk_0
Now connected to survival pod Omega 2 systems online and functioning.
spk_0
Where is Jenna? Scanning. It seems she is still on the command deck. I will patch us through now.
spk_0
What? Self-destruct sequence initiated.
spk_0
Jenna, where are you? Why are you still on the ship? I'm sorry, Ben.
spk_0
Sorry. Sorry for what? It's too big of a risk that we've been to town.
spk_0
What does that mean? What are you doing? I need to get that thing away from you and the only way
spk_0
I'll know for sure is if I do it myself. Jenna, get off the ship now or I'm coming to get you.
spk_0
No, you're not. Tee, lock down survival pod Omega 2. Locking down survival pod Omega 2.
spk_0
Jenna, Jenna stop. Stop we can do this together. We are. They need to get our own way.
spk_0
You're doing it. Get back here right now. I'm sorry. I'm sorry for not telling you about the Kevin's gun.
spk_0
I'm sorry for not always treating you well. I'm sorry for everything.
spk_0
It's working. She's drawing it away. It's going after the ship.
spk_0
Jenna, you don't have to do this. Tee, Tee tell her that she doesn't have to do this. I...
spk_0
I... I can't lose another person. Tee, please.
spk_0
It's been a pleasure serving with you, Captain Crescott.
spk_0
Thank you, Tee. I made my peace with this. Now go on. Get back home and live your life for me.
spk_0
Please, Jenna. I gotta go, Cs. The thing is right on my tail. I gotta do the right thing for you.
spk_0
Tee, Tee's. The person. See what I see.
spk_0
No, no, no. No.
spk_0
She was a good person, Sydney. No. She did that to save you. No.
spk_0
Remember her for that. I... I... I didn't...
spk_0
It worked, by the way. That thing, whatever it was, it's gone from my scans.
spk_0
The self-destruct took it too. But it took...
spk_0
It took her too. I know. And I'm sorry.
spk_0
What do we do now?
spk_0
You activate C-class-level emergency protocols, and I send the beacon back home.
spk_0
And hopefully, they come for you.
spk_0
Then we do that. Activate the C-class-level emergency protocols.
spk_0
Please give the access code to activate C-class-level emergency protocols.
spk_0
Access code is...
spk_0
Ouch!
spk_0
What the hell? No. Wait.
spk_0
What are you doing? We had a deal!
spk_0
Get out of me! We had a deal!
spk_0
Get this fucking mold off of me, ding!
spk_0
Access, deny. Please give the access code to activate C-class-level emergency protocols.
spk_0
Oh, okay. What? You did it, Mommy.
spk_0
No. What are you doing? Why are you doing this?
spk_0
We don't have to be scared anymore. We did what you asked. We helped you.
spk_0
Get off of me! You don't have to do this.
spk_0
We aren't stuck anymore. Now we can be together forever, Mommy.
spk_0
No. You're not her. You're just wearing her face. You fucking monster.
spk_0
But why did it save me?
spk_0
I did save you. I saved you.
spk_0
And this whole goddamn planet, but you can't fucking help yourself. Can you?
spk_0
No. No, I love her. The real her, not you. Whatever you're doing to me.
spk_0
But I guess it doesn't matter, does it? But this was...
spk_0
This was always going to end, wasn't it? No matter what we did,
spk_0
no matter how hard we fought against it, you can't change destiny, can you?
spk_0
I know you're not her, but I want you to know I would have done things differently.
spk_0
If that meant I could have saved you, Kaelin.
spk_0
I would have...
spk_0
I love you.
spk_0
Damn it, D3.
spk_0
Beta.
spk_0
Do you see?
spk_0
C class level emergency protocols activated.
spk_0
Data stored.
spk_0
Emergency beacon sent for retrieval.
spk_0
Stop it, please. I can't listen anymore.
spk_0
That was the end of the transmission from the emergency beacon anyway.
spk_0
There was nothing else from your predecessor.
spk_0
No, that was the only transmission we received from Proteus Mark 1 of what transpired.
spk_0
Shit.
spk_0
Don't despair. That doesn't mean Mark 1 has ceased its beacon transmission.
spk_0
It just means there's nothing new to transmit.
spk_0
Does that mean...
spk_0
You heard what happened. I'm sorry, Captain.
spk_0
That's...
spk_0
Alright.
spk_0
It was inevitable, I know.
spk_0
But does that mean that Captain Owens is...
spk_0
It doesn't.
spk_0
We don't know what happened out there.
spk_0
It could be any number of things.
spk_0
They're waiting for you in the conference room.
spk_0
Thanks, Tuy.
spk_0
Tuy.
spk_0
Quiet down, please.
spk_0
Though I've had a chance to review the transmission from the mag mill,
spk_0
a number of questions still remain.
spk_0
At the moment, we can guess that Captain Prescott
spk_0
did not survive to see the mission through.
spk_0
However, we are unsure of what happened to Captain Owens
spk_0
and whether or not she is still alive.
spk_0
We know that she was able to send the emergency beacon back to us
spk_0
along with some sensitive data that we are also reviewing.
spk_0
That said, we can confirm this.
spk_0
The micro-black hole did indeed expand upon their arrival to the NGC-7293.
spk_0
And the mag mill did traverse through it.
spk_0
They exited the black hole quite a distance from their entry point,
spk_0
thus creating the situation we are in.
spk_0
We can tell you that both Captain Prescott and Owens
spk_0
did the best they could given the situation,
spk_0
and that the research and readings they have sent back will advance our knowledge of space travel
spk_0
tenfold.
spk_0
In that respect,
spk_0
Project mag mill was a success.
spk_0
Now begins the next phase of the project.
spk_0
Prior to review of the data, General Tompkins had already given me permission to head the
spk_0
retrieval team.
spk_0
Using the knowledge we gained, we will travel the same route as the mag mill,
spk_0
and hope to find some clue as to its whereabouts.
spk_0
It will take time.
spk_0
Eight years there, eight years back.
spk_0
If NGC-7293 does not work as we intend it to,
spk_0
but we aim to further our knowledge of our larger world and their mission.
spk_0
Captain Prescott will not have died in vain.
spk_0
She died an honorable death, and for that, I am thankful.
spk_0
And if Captain Owens is still out there,
spk_0
well, let's bring her home.
spk_0
You're dismissed.
spk_0
I'm sorry to bother you, sir, but there seems to be something else on this transmission.
spk_0
What is it?
spk_0
It was encoded.
spk_0
I overlooked it first because it was at the very end, but there is a little bit more.
spk_0
Shall I play it?
spk_0
Yes.
spk_0
Please.
spk_0
Commencing playback.
