	Message Number	Dialogue
	Message 1 	
"This is Avery Quinn of trading ship Sunbeam. Aurora, do you read? Over.
Nothing but vacuum. These Alterra ships. They run low on engine grease, they send an SOS; you offer to help, they don't pick up.
Aurora, I'm out on the far side of the system, it's going to take more than a week to reach your position, do you still need our assistance? Over.
I'll try them again tomorrow. Damn charter's going to have us blowing our credits running errands for Alterra. See what the long-range scans pick up in the meantime. "
	Message 2 	
"Aurora, this is Sunbeam again. We just picked up a massive debris field at your location.
I didn't know how bad... How many of you... I didn't know.
We are now en route to your location. We're going to bring you home. Sunbeam out.
What else can I say? The last time I parked a rig this big on a rock that small was in VR, and I blew it
Oh, it's a bad option alright, but so are all the others."
	Message 3 	
"This is Sunbeam. Y'know, Aurora, we're from a little trans-gov on the far side of Andromeda, and we have a saying there.
There's no bad without the good, no good without the bad.
Sounds like you tasted a bunch of the former, but that only means you're overdue a whole lot of the latter.
Might just be we're it.
We're scanning for somewhere to park as we speak, we'll be in touch when we find it. Sunbeam out."
	Message 4 	
"Aurora, we're approaching the planet now, and we have a landing site for you that's... well, it's better than the alternatives.
We've sent you the coordinates.
It'll take us a couple of days to align our orbit, we should be able to establish direct contact with you during that time, then we're coming in to get you.
Cross your fingers the weather holds, and don't leave us waiting. Sunbeam out."

==Trivia==
*The Radio was originally named the Communications Relay.
*Captain Hollister is a reference to the British TV Series "Red Dwarf (1988)".
*The automated bounceback from the Aurora is most likely based on the position and condition the ship is in. Considering all the crew are dead and the ship is destroyed, it reaches the maximum arrival time (99999 hours) and cuts off.
*Second Officer Keen assuming command may be a reference to the DOS computer game series "Commander Keen".
*The line: "CPU: This is Aurora. Distress signal received. Rescue operation will be dispatched to your location in 9...9...9...9...9... hours. Continue to monitor for emergency transmissions from other lifepods.", is a possible reference to Portal 2, where the announcer says to Chell: "You have been in suspension for nine, nine, nine, nine, nine... nine, ni-- *continues in background* This courtesy call is to.....".
*The messages "▖┗▛Nine new biological subjects designated. Mode ▖▜▚┣: hunting/analyzing. Sharing subject locations with other agents." and "▖┗▛Subject 11783 destroyed. Mode ▖▜▚┣: patrol. New targets unaccounted for: 1." are broadcasted by Warpers.
*Messages, before they were replaced with encrypted symbols:

****The word "Flayra" was an Easter Egg. It is the twitter username for the Game Leader Charlie Cleveland.
**▖┗▛Nine new biological subjects designated. Mode ▖▜▚┣: hunting/analyzing. Sharing subject locations with other agents. 
***-> Nine new biological subjects designated. Mode switch: hunting/analyzing. Sharing subject locations with other agents.
**▖┗▛Subject 11783 destroyed. Mode ▖▜▚┣: patrol. New targets unaccounted for: 1. 
***-> Subject 11783 destroyed. Mode switch: patrol. New targets unaccounted for: 1.
*9...9...9...9...9 (99,999) hours is about 11 years and 5 months (11.4078 years). 999 hours is almost six weeks (41.625 days).
*The radio message from Alterra H.Q. is voiced by two Youtubers from the "Neebs Gaming" channel, a channel which did a Subnautica roleplay series.
*When the Radio was first released instead of messages it would send the player parts of lyrics from the song Holy Diver by Ronnie James Dio
