Mass Effect, lunar VI assignment:
So you're on a mission to shut down a rogue computer before it kills more people. You finally zap it, and you receive the following message...
A burst of white noise over all frequencies nearly deafens you. Your hardsuit's heads-up display interprets it as a series of 0s and 1s:
01001000
01000101
01001100
01010000
They repeat again and again, blanketing all frequencies, until the lights on the final VI cluster flicker and die.
Of course, if you're an utter geek, you go off and do the following:
128 64 32 16 8 4 2 1 ASCII code
--- -- -- -- -- -- -- --
0 1 0 0 1 0 0 0 = 64 + 8 = 72 = H
0 1 0 0 0 1 0 1 = 64 + 4 + 1 = 69 = E
0 1 0 0 1 1 0 0 = 64 + 8 + 4 = 76 = L
0 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 = 64 + 16 = 80 = P
So yes, I am a sad, sad man. :)
