It can also be found when starting the game, on the back side of the Lifepod. However, it needs to be Welded to function.

Uses

After repairing the Communications Relay, it will beep and inform the player that a new message has arrived. In chronological order, the following messages will play as follows:

Messages

• "This is an automated bounce back from the Aurora. Your distress signal has been received. An emergency relief team will be dispatched to your location. *Static* Estimated arrival time: 9...9...9...9...9 hours."
• "This is Second Officer Keen, broadcasting to all surviving Aurora crew! Captain Hollister is gone. I have assumed command. Scans say there's dry land 750m south of the crash site. Your orders are to stay together, ensure your immediate safety, and then regroup at the rendezvous point. Good luck. This message will now repeat. WARNING: Rendezvous co-ordinates corrupted. Downloading transmission origin co-ordinates."
• "This is an automated distress signal from Aurora Lifepod 17. Co-ordinates attached. Please send immediate emergency relief team" (the player receives a signal that points to the Lifepod 17 wreck when this plays)
• "This is Aurora Senior Engineer LaFette, broadcasting from Lifepod 19! We have survived impact, but flotation devices have failed to deploy and we are sinking! Co-ordinates attached! Will attempt repair! Anticipate losing radio contact at- *Static*" (the player receives a signal that points to the Lifepod 19 wreck when this plays)
• "Nine new biological subjects designated. Mode switch: hunting/analyzing. Sharing subject locations with other agents."
• "Karflaget gertrupop flayra. Troflagot e aitrart. Trankeboop. Askrinol forlaget yarma aquit e flyra e aitrart escimay."
• "Subject 11783 destroyed. Mode switch: patrol. New targets unaccounted for: 1."
• "This is trading vessel Sunbeam. Aurora, we've received your emergency transmission and we're coming in for a closer look. Plan is to engage a slow burn and slingshot around the moon to conserve fuel. We'll alert you when we drop into low orbit around the planet. Stay safe. Sunbeam out."
• "You've been down too long in the midnight sea. Oh don't you see what I mean?" (this message plays when your computer's clock hits midnight)
• "Who's come to the depths and when? Where are they?"
• "Goal_HolyDiver"

Future Plans

In the future, the player will need to complete certain tasks in order to receive messages.

Trivia

• "You've been down too long in the midnight sea. Oh don't you see what I mean?", is a reference to the song Holy Diver by the US heavy metal band DIO.
• Captain Hollister is a reference to the British TV Series "Red Dwarf (1988)".
• Second Officer Keen assuming command may be a reference to the DOS computer game series "Commander Keen".
•  The line: "An emergency relief team will be dispatched to your location. *Static* Estimated arrival time: 9...9...9...9...9 hours". Is a possible reference to Portal 2. Whereas the announcer says to Chell: "You have been in suspension for nine, nine, nine, nine... nine, nine".
