“Being asked ​to communicate ​with the far reaches of space has been a​ thrill. The idea that some neutral life force is out there... that it's not just us on this canvas, or that someone else has been longing to find out the same. Of course, that desire for communication could go the wrong way — a planet full of thirsty creatures imminently come to suck all the water including that in our bodies completely dry. So we'd become like the folks in the Three Body Problem world, but I think in that case, it was worth it for Sonar to bring about the end of humanity. I'm so glad to be asked to attempt communication to outer space. You never know who's listening! ​​”
