There, he meets Ilana Green and tries to help protect her atmospheric analysis equipment from the plant's overzealous security forces. Searching the area around the town, he comes across a recently constructed power plant. Zane travels to the fictional town of San Marsol in Mexico and finds that the local radio station, from which the interfering signal apparently originated, was just burnt to the ground.
Zane attempts to consult his former coworker, Calvin but finds that he has just died suspiciously, purportedly from carbon monoxide poisoning.

Taking a job as a television satellite dish installer, he creates his own telescope array using his customers' dishes in the neighborhood, operating it secretly from his attic with the help of his young next-door neighbor, Kiki. Zane soon finds that he has been fired because of supposed budget cuts and blacklisted, preventing him from working at other telescopes. Zane reports this to his supervisor, Phil Gordian, at the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), but Phil dismisses the findings.
Zane Zaminsky, a radio astronomer working for SETI, discovers an extraterrestrial radio signal from Wolf 336, a star 14 light-years from Earth.
