The Long Observation

The act of observing changes the civilization that waits.

Deep signal monitoring sheet / observatory log / patience doctrine.

Recovered excerpt

The array did not search for messages. It searched for the discipline to keep an antenna pointed at nothing for a generation. The log records no contact. It records who stopped looking, and when, and why the others did not.

A/T
A signal is not a message until someone has the discipline to keep listening.
