Contact Event

The Contact Event is an event on 11 May 2016 when the Dear Listeners make contact with the Hephaestus. The episodes Boléro, Change of Mind and Into the Depths take place during this event.
This event is predicted three months in advance based on the data gathered during the events of Overture, which allows the crew to prepare. Kepler focuses preparations on building a psi-wave regulator, but this is disrupted by the crew's mutiny the day before the event, leaving the station with no defenses against the radiation produced during the event.
The radiation signature of the event resurrects Captain Lovelace, who had been killed the day before. She is then used as an avatar of the Dear Listeners to communicate with Eiffel. During this time, she also removes one of Kepler's hands.
