Re: Can anyone make sense out of this?

In Response To: Re: Can anyone make sense out of this? (Shishka)

: Not quite, but close.

: Information was shot past a black hole, but could not escape. However, speed
: and velocity were such that it was not consumed by the black hole, but is
: trapped in permanent orbit around it. This trapped information has
: accelerated to nearly the speed of light. Cortana has contains something
: that matches this information to the information found (I believe on the
: mystery object) on Sigma Octanus IV. However, she is unable to crack the
: mystery of the information.

: -S

Can you post it as a translation?

Fall of Reach, page 234 Cortana says "I have also, um...coordinated with UNSC's astrophysics department and discovered some interesting bits archived in their long-range observation databases.

I have "coordinated" with UNSC's nerdy department and found stuff in their old section on long-range observation.

There is a black hole located approximately forty thousand light years from the Sigma Octanus System.

There is a black hole located somewhere around forty-thousand light years from the Sigma Octanus System

An extremely powerful pulse-laser transmission back-scattered the matter in the accretion disc-essentially trapped this signal as this matter accelerated toward the speed of light.

An extremly powerful pulse-laser transmission was trapped in the black hole as it sped off to the speed of light

From our perspective, according to special relativity, this essentially froze the residue of this information in the event horizon."

The signal is permanantly there.

"I'll take your word for it," Dr. Halsey said.

I'll take your word for it

"This 'frozen signal' contains information that matches the sample from Sigma Octanus Four."

This signal matches to the signal from Sigma Octanus Four

Cortana sighed and her shoulders slumped. "Unfortunately, all my attempts at translating the code have failed...so far."

I can't crack it. But being the stubborn b*tch that I am, I'll try again and again until I get it

That should do it. If you don't get it, my writing is in bold.

As a final note: how do you pronounce "Octanus"? is it "Oc-tain-us" or "Oc-tan-us"?
