It can also be found when starting the game, on the back side of Lifepod 5. However, it needs to be fixed with the Repair Tool in order to function.
Uses & Messages
After repairing the Communications Relay, it will beep and inform the Player that a new message has arrived. The first message the player will receive is:
- "CPU: Your distress signal has been broadcast, and a bounce back from the Aurora has been received. Divers equipped with seaglide propulsion vehicles will be dispatched to your location in 9...9...9... hours. Now scanning frequencies for emergency transmissions from other lifepods."
After the message, the player may receive more messages. Most of these messages are distress signals from other Lifepods, but the player will also receive messages from the Sunbeam in an attempt to get rescued. When completing a certain task, the following messages will play as follows:
Lifepods
Sunbeam
Other
In Development
- ALTERRA HQ: This is Alterra HQ. This may be our only communications window. We can't send a rescue ship all the way out there, so Aurora, you're just gonna have to meet us halfway. We've uploaded blueprints to the ship's computer. Blackbox data shows the high security terminal in the Captain's quarters is still functional. The code should be ####. When you- *Static*

Trivia
- 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 an automated bounce back from the Aurora. Divers equipped with seaglide personal propulsion vehicles 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, nine *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.
- The message "▀▖┗▛▄▖▜▚┣ ▜▚┗┣┗┫┓┏┓ ▛▄▖┅┗▖. ┣┗┏▛▄▖▜┏┣ ▚ ▖▞┣┗▖┗┣. ┣┗▖┃▀▚▗┏┏┓. ▖┛▀┗▞┃┏▄ ▛┏┗▄▖▜▚┣ ┅▖┗━▖ ▖┓┫▞┣ ▚ ▛▄┅┗▖ ▚ ▖▞┣┗▖┗┣ ▚┛▘▞━▖┅." is an automated message from a Precursor.
