FACTUAL TRANSLATION
What the signal says
A mock near-Earth object passes at approximately ten times the
average distance between Earth and the Moon.
At closest approach, the object is 3.84 million kilometres from
Earth and moving at 47,820 kilometres per hour relative to the planet.
The hazard field in this simulated record is false. This is a
data-description flag, not an independent risk forecast.
Translation uses only values present in the mock observation.

Station commentary
At 21:38 UTC, a stone with no address crossed the outer fence.
It did not knock. It did not alter its course. For a moment,
distance became the only architecture between us.

FACTUAL TRANSLATION
What the signal says
The mock buoy reports 2.4-metre significant waves, arriving in
a dominant cycle of 13 seconds.
Significant wave height describes the mean height of the
highest third of observed waves, not the height of every wave.
Wind at the station is 9.6 metres per second.
The surrounding water is 11.7°C and sea-level pressure is
1,011.8 hectopascals at the recorded time.
Translation gives context without assigning intent or emotion.

FICTION / POETIC INTERPRETATION
Station commentary
The buoy rises, reports, and disappears behind the next wall of
water. Thirteen seconds later it returns with the same message:
the ocean is still here, measuring the silence above it.
