Channel 94

You found it. Sit down. Adjust the rabbit ears. Don't touch the dial.

Channel 94 is the channel between channels — the one your childhood TV landed on when the signal gave up. Snow, hiss, and every so often, for 94 seconds at a time, something else.

The regulars call the something else the Aries broadcast. A ram's head sketched in static. Coordinates that map to no Earth. A voice — warm, amused, very far away — reading what might be tomorrow's news or might be a recipe. The vortex does not translate it. The vortex, if we're being honest, seems a little shy about it.

Madam Vortex will say only this: 'Every signal comes from somewhere, sugar. Some of them come from someone. Keep watching.'
