Alex Mercer and Jordan Hayes are working on decoding an alien signal, with a focus on understanding and translating intentions.
Observing Hayes unravel the dense alien encryption, Alex spoke, a diplomatic tenor underpinning his words, "Keep focused on the syntax, dissect its nuances. We're not just decoding signals; we're translating intentions." Without diverting from their task, Jordan acknowledged the insight. "Indeed, if their understanding of us is as deep as we hope, we're paving the way for dialogue far beyond our current realm."
