The signal is picked up by a Nova Republic interception station. Upon decoding the message, the station's bridge crew are confused.
3 5 7 11 13 17 19 23 29 31 37 41 43 47 53 59 61 67 71 73 79 83 89 97
The bridge crew discuss.
"What the hell do all these numbers mean?"
"I thfink thfey like mathfehmaticfs hfhfhhfhhfhfh."
Wait, prime numbers!"
As the discussion continues, one officer walks in, with the promised coffee and donuts for the tired crew.
"Hey guys, I brou- numbers?"
"Gordon, you finally showed up! We're trying to decode this message from an unknown source."
The officer tilts his head from side to side, trying to make sense of the numbers. In the background, one bridge crew attempts to open the box of donuts, but ends up slapped on the hand by another.
"Do you know where this came from, by any chance?"
"Huhf, I havefn't checkedf yfet"
"Then what are you waiting for?"
They begin to look into the signal's origin...
