At this point the player is given two options:
** [[Ovis (909)]]: Thank you, 1k. I'm glad you see it that way. We must remain open [to] the possibility of miracles.
# [[#Option 1|Maybe it really was a sign.]]
** [[Zagoran (211)]]: In what possible way could that garbled mess have been a sign?
# [[#Option 2|I don't think it was a sign.]]
** ''Option 1:'' [[1k (1000)]]: Maybe it is something for us to decipher. A riddle.
 
*** [[Thecla (862)]]: Riddles and puzzles are the foundations of our journey. So it began, perhaps so it will continue.
== Option 1 ==
** ''Option 2:'' [[1k (1000)]]: A sign of life. Not necessarily something intentional, but a sign.
 
*** [[Budahas (917)]]: Sounds reasonable enough to me. Something weird is going on for sure, but what? We'll have to see.
* [[1k (1000)]]: Maybe it really was a sign.
*** [[Thecla (862)]]: Riddles and puzzles are the foundations of our journey. So it began, perhaps so it will continue.
* [[Ovis (909)]]: Thank you, 1k. I'm glad you see it that way. We must remain open [to] the possibility of miracles.
** ''Option 3:'' [[1k (1000)]]: I don't know, but there's something intelligent out there.
* [[Zagoran (211)]]: In what possible way could that garbled mess have been a sign?
*** [[Zagoran (211)]]: As some people on here have amply demonstrated, the appearance of intelligence does not always indicate its presence.
 
* ''Option 2:'' [[1k (1000)]]: I don't think it was a sign.
In response, the player can select
** [[Zagoran (211)]]: Out of the mouths of babes...
# [[#Option 1.1|Maybe it is something for us to decipher. A riddle.]]
** [[Ovis (909)]]: How could such a remarkable display of unimagined powers not be a sign?
# [[#Option 1.2|A sign of life. Not necessarily something intentional, but a sign.]]
** ''Option 1:'' [[1k (1000)]]: It's something, but not necessarily the Founder.
# [[#Option 1.3|I don't know, but there's something intelligent out there.]]
*** [[Budahas (917)]]: Sounds reasonable enough to me. Something weird is going on for sure, but what? We'll have to see.

=== Option 1.1 ===

*** [[Zagoran (211)]]: Exactly. Maybe some old projector somewhere hiccuped and farted out this nonsense. Or maybe it's something important, but broken. Or it's a hoax. Or it's nothing. Either way, Byron has been right all along. We need to investigate and find out.
=== Option 1.2 ===

Here again the player has three choices:
# [[#Option 2.1|It's something, but not necessarily the Founder.]]

WTF was that? is an in-game social media post discussing the appearance of Prometheus during a speech by Mayor Hermanubis.

It appears in every playthrough and is accessible from the very early in the game's story.
