** Similar to the scanner theory above, the idea here is that the alien race behind the UA have encountered one or both of the Voyagers (which have currently gone missing in the game, and FD have not acknowledged this as a bug), from which they learnt to communicate via the stylized Morse and the whale sounds and dolphin or sea turtle chittering and honks that are similar to their own language. Find a Voyager, and with it and the UA together, communication can occur with the aliens, somehow. | ** Similar to the scanner theory above, the idea here is that the alien race behind the UA have encountered one or both of the Voyagers (which have currently gone missing in the game, and FD have not acknowledged this as a bug), from which they learnt to communicate via the stylized Morse and the whale sounds and dolphin or sea turtle chittering and honks that are similar to their own language.
