IPCS (Interstellar Precursor Communication Specialists) is a non-profit organization devoted to discovering and decoding any and all forms of communication from the Precursor Race, and other extra-universal actors.

They are entirely made up of volunteers, who have a genuine fascination in these communications.

Publications Format#

All IPCS published communications are wrapped in a header and a footer, the header will usually look something like this:

OFFICIAL IPCS COMMUNICATION, READER WARNED, POTENTIALLY DISTRESSING MATERIAL

And the footer will commonly be an analysis and summary section, for those who find understanding the actual text difficult, which is more than understandable.
