"Infared Land" RLNB Transmission Packages

## Overview

The "Infared Land" RLNB Transmission Packages are a group of RLNB (Radio Lasered Nighttime Boosted) transmissions origonating from an estimated X: -77278324.72, Y:4345852.89 Z: -90208329.3892. They are from a civilization coalition with influence estimated at 19 times higher than the Interplanitary Peace Alligence.

## "Infared Land"

"Infared Land" is the name of the civilization coalition that broadcasts the transmissions. We call it infared land because much of the visual data it sends us is in infared. We do not know what it calls itself.

Not much is known about infared land. What we do know mostly comes from scant evidince in the transmissions. It seems to be a space-based civilization, only coming down to absorb recources from planets and stars. There seemed to be several dyson spheres in some of the videos. We don't know much else.

## Transmissions

Here is a list of several of the major transmissions and a basic overview of their contents.

### Cultural Packages

Cultural packages are transmission packages that do not seem to be trying to send a scientific idea, or technical blueprint.

#### Cultural package 1:

This was the first of all transmission packages, recieved on 107/08 of 3087. It contained almost 17 petabytes of data, consisting of audio, images, and video. This makes up about 0.01% of the total data. The rest is unreadable. When put through a pattern-finding computer, the data formatted into a bunch of random numbers. Mathmaticians and scientists systemwide are searching for a way to format this data into somthing recognizable, but only small progress has been made yet.

####    Cultural package 2:

This package contains even less recognizable content, centering even more on the data form we cannot read yet.

### Scientific Packages

Scientific packages are transmission packages that seem to be trying to communicate a scientific idea, or technical blueprint

#### Scientific Package 1:

This is the only scientific package ever recieved. It contains mostly unreadable data, but also includes several images of technologies. These images were helpful in understanding the technelogical capabilities of this coalition. A grant from the govener of Saturn has funded an extensive project to research the most basic-looking image

   ​​​. Scientists think it could be a method of space travel that could potentially leave the solar system.

## Effects of "Infared Land" RLNB Transmission Packages

### Responses

Several responses have been transmitted towards infared land, including images and video about Earth and it's colonies, and blueprints for some of our best technologies, like Taco Shooter OVER9000™ and forks.

Here are some images that were transmitted to Infared Land:

### Government Censorship

When the first cultural package was received, the govener of Mars Gregory Thatcher attempted to censor the transmisson, saying it "could be dangerous" and saying that "We don't want people to get hipnotized like in those alien movies". Once reviewed by the Earth Parliment, it broadcasted all of the recognizable data, saying "Keeping people informed on the happenings of the time is a large part of a succesful government. Having an uncusseful government is unconstitutional."

Gregory Thatcher attempted to shut down the data as it arrived, but was found out, and promptly removed from office.

Citizens of multiple planets have requested that the other data be shared for public use, and the responses generally were something along the lines of "We don't want to crash the servers". However, skepticism continues that this is not the only reason the data is not shared, bringing people to the streets to protest in late 3089. The data has not been freed for public use.

### Media

The transmissions are a big deal in the media, demonstrated by hit songs like "Infared Nerd" and "I got those numbers in my brain", and bestselling books like *Scarlet Feilds: a Portrait of Infared Land* and *Attack of the 87 little green infared men,* and solar system renowned renderings by artist

   Afia Tsonbouli.

## Conclusion

These diverse transmissions from a power greater than our own has been a source of awe for years. However, with the expansion of the universe, we are moving away from Infared Land, and it will leave our hubble sphere in an estimated 542 years. A probe with powerful RLNB capabilities is currently being tested. If launched within 34 years, it could increase possible transmission time by an estimated 350 years.

All in all, the Infared land transmissions are thought to contain a staggering amount of more information than we can currently read. They have been proving to be one of the greatest mysteries of the modern world.
