Rush and Young in “Unfinished Business”

Are you familiar with the cosmic microwave background radiation?

Noise left over from the Big Bang.

A long time ago, the Ancients made a discovery. They found evidence of a structure buried deep within the background radiation. They believed that, at one time, this structure had genuine complexity, coherence, therefore could not have occurred naturally.

How is that even possible?

It's not - at least not according to our current understanding of physics, nor could we even see this structure with our technology.

OK, so what are we talking about? Some kind of code, a message?

A message, perhaps, or a sign of intelligence from the beginning of time.

Sent by?

Hmm. Well, that's the very question they sought to answer when they launched Destiny. That is the mission. We're talking about a mystery rooted in the foundation of reality, a puzzle with pieces scattered across the length and breadth of the universe itself.
