Dax is putting her radio skills to work again, this time as directed by Ariane! Ariane remembers numbers stations, and Dax is directing her energy into setting one up with her! Two parts to this:
(1) Dax would like to modify the player piano in the Cactus Pad to reconfigure the automated roll to play Franz Schubert’s “Ständchen”. Between each repeat of the tune, the piano will play a C4 series of numbers in morse code (sans punctuation): [ 031 - 023 - 023 - 041 - 373 - 021 - 461 - 543 - 373 . 315 - 041 - 373 - 471 . 201 - 041 - 501 - 351 . 315 - 041 - 023 - 068 - 501 - 315 - 373 . 201 - 542 - 501 - 041 . ] This tune remains in ¾ score as is the song.
The numbers correspond to the measures and notes in the song (the first two numbers are a measure; the third number is the note in the measure). From there, it is a basic substitution on the bass clef’s chromatic scale. If cracked, it is a distress signal which says: ATTENTION. SEND HELP. RETURN HOME.
As part of their creation of the cipher, Dax recreated the composition in a standard Earth format, and will leave it on the piano’s music desk. It will have the relevant notes underlined. (So, any character who would like to crack the code can absolutely reasonably do so regardless of music ability.)
(2) Dax wants to use a walkie and remaining pieces from the scavenged desert systems to create a one-way radio to project this audio with as far a range as she can manage.
[ * Neither character is expecting anything larger to happen as a result of this. They’re very bored and seeking enrichment in their enclosure. ]
