[ Turning on the terminal again causes the same message to pop up:
Communication Transmission Beginning
The same alien appears on-screen, and the same alien observes Hiro flatly. There's a long pause, but it's clear that the alien is looking for something that is not present, or sees something that it does not like.
It makes a guttural ragged shrieking noise, not loud but also clearly not human, and also clearly very unhappy.
And then the transmission cuts off again. However, the terminal is not entirely turned off this time. A message appears onscreen:
no subject
