Radio

The Radio is an item that can be constructed with the Habitat Builder. One is also found in Lifepod 5, but it needs to be fixed with the Repair Tool in order to function.

Trivia

 * The Radio was originally named the Communications Relay.
 * 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, where the announcer says to Chell: "You have been in suspension for nine, nine, nine, nine, nine... nine, ni-- *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.
 * Messages, before they were replaced with encrypted symbols:
 * -> Karflaget gertrupop flayra. Troflagot e aitrart. Trankeboop. Askrinol forlaget yarma aquit e flyra e aitrart escimay.
