Description: She's known it since she was a young girl, when she would magically connect with distant voices on her father's shortwave radio. She's known it since college, when she chose the search for intelligent extraterrestrial messages as her discipline.

And she knows it every time she stares at the countless stars dappling the infinite night sky... Something is out there.
