Start at part 1

In a remote corner of India, an aging technician repairs an old satellite dish left behind by a stalled project. Years later, he notices strange static in the receiver—pulsing rhythms not found in any current weather data stream. The pattern matches a transmission from a government weather balloon that vanished mid-air in 1979.
