It depends who you ask. The best answer I’ve found is2 STX - start of text
4 EOT - end of transmission
1 SOH - start of the control header
10 LF - New LineOstensibly, a zero byte text block followed by a zero byte control header that results in an automatic retransmission of the previous message. Basically, control codes that result in a “repeat”.It’s not really in the RFCs, but in ISDN this causes a “callback”, AKA a “nudge” where the receiving device calls the sender back, without the sender paying for the call or the call ever being answered because it all happens on the D, or control, channel.Which, ridiculously, is illegal in Germany I found out the hard way.Trocadero used this to great effect in Contact, giving a really lonely sense of being cut off and relying on automated systems to ‘echo’ your call. However, it’s not in the RFCs per se, and fans are still trying to come up with their own explanations.If I remember the story correctly, David Levy wrote this song about Desert Storm (I’m not sure if he was in Desert Storm or if he was memorializing a friend’s story of being there) and the theme fit so well for Red Vs Blue season 13 that they used it.But because it was originally inspired by an IRL war it doesn’t mesh completely with the show, and so it creates a delicious tension between worlds. Like seeing the real world through the side of a mirror, or out of the corner of your eye, while deeply immersed in a show or a game.The idea of an automatic repeat, or feeding machines a set of codes to cause auto repeats, like an automated mayday or feeding 8888 to the AT&T Iron Lady, has always fascinated me. It was one of my favorite things about getting deep into the rusty core of the planet’s telecom systems.There’s poetry in there.
