I've had a thought, mere idle speculation than solid idea
Since engineers came out, a lot of systems in the barnard's loop area have been permit locked, but I've flown around the loop a couple of times before and saw no locked systems, this shows that someone is locking us out of those
systems for an unknown reason, but you need the unknown permit to get in ... a UP .. has anyone tried to jump to one of those locked systems with a Unknown Probe on board because maybe, just maybe, that symbol embedded in the audio does not actually represent anything in the physical world, but is the tone needed to gain entry to the locked systems

Well honking DS with permit system locked? Cool, but which one?
Looking at spectrograph again I see three explanations:
1. Merope map+instructions
Merope and its huge crater should be the location. Getting Multiple UAs to "charge" the transmission (like FSD trouble Jaques had) and firing DS at UP might do the trick to get something done. E.g. get uncloaked/unlocked "transwarp" (hehe) gate at merope.
That is based on 1st part of message. Originally understood as "key symbol" there are also 4 disticint lines. 4 UAs?
1b. Last part of message might be just message to "send a signal". Also we might want to have 4 UAs and 1 UP in hold, trigger DS and jump to have misjump. Though I am a bit sceptical here.
2. Directional map plus instruction
Coming towards distance based on r. some 500 ly between Witch Head and California from Merope might be target system where we should fire DS at UP to get contacted. Okayish but destination is too flakey. Where is third dimension?
3. Well, coming to invisible systems.
Generally this one is very much unknown but it is compilation of hints. Spectrograph is the key.
Hint 1: "How do you know that thargoids are not already there?"
Hint 2: "There are systems invisible to some players/devs"
Hint 3: "Purpose informs the design"
We should be able to reach systems/location that occupy similar 3D space that bubble, but are out of our standard plane. E.g. different dimension (potential 5th D), witchspace or just hidden systems not defined by Star Mass.
That theory I would like to see, but so far I would only fabricate evidence based on the spectrograph. E.g. forth quadrant which is understood as Radius might also mean escaping the standard plane of human existence (our 4D space/dimension). Rest will be steps to get there.
I would like to point out that we try to read the circle in spectrograph clockwise but mathematically - as in standard way of transcribing quadrants it is
2 - 1
3 - 4
EDIT
More looking at spectrograph plus great wine:
First part is saying
- we have a cache and this is key to it.
- you have to be above the cache
Second is the location on Merope 5c or time or location based of above
- 9-12 o clock - planetary surface
- 12-3 o clock - signalling
- 3-6 o clock - in the centre of crater
- 6-9 o clock - ?? going to be looking out
Third is saying
- just honk it
The middle panel: maybe the launch time and location (both can be worked out quite accurately from the conjunction of the orbital planes) and the third panel contains the destination (badly corrupted). As the UP points to Merope 5C, I can speculate the third panel is Merope 5C, not the middle panel.
