    - The narrator is asked to listen to an audio recording by Colonel Weber and physicist Dr. Donnelly, who are unable to provide context about where the recording came from. - The recording sounds vaguely like a wet dog shaking water from its fur. When asked, the narrator says without context it's difficult to interpret, but notes the vocal tract producing the sounds is substantially different from a human's. - While the colonel is unwilling to provide more details, the narrator speculates that establishing communication will be difficult due to anatomical differences, and the sounds may not be reproducible or distinguishable to human vocal tracts and ears.
