STEP ONE: Remember we are heathens not researchers.
This tech is new to our little outlaw fingers. We were born heathens.
Assume they were too.

STEP TWO: Send the signal.

STEP THREE: Examine their rubble and bones
with readings and sonar echo-waves our own.

STEP FOUR: Let the moon and the Pleiades set.

STEP FIVE: Say for certain that we know what we don’t.
That they too had waves and words like those we just got.

STEP SIX: Taste their cities. Wear their skeletons. Do it with
our pride. Their foundations will implode silent on our signal.
