-Earth-

The probes at Earth decelerate to settle in to orbits around the planet, scanning the surface and ships that approach them.

-Harlothian Ship-

Science officer: "Shipmaster Har'aal, we have determined that the binary signal was a greeting. Here is the translated text."

The Harlothian science officer hands Har'aal an electronic device resembling a tablet computer. On it, in Harlothian pictographic script, is a rough translation of the Aneph greeting.

Har'aal: "Compose a reply in binary, and transmit it to the seeing pod that received it. This is the message..."

-Mars-

The probe at Mars, after receiving instructions over an FTL band, transmits a radio message in binary. The message reads as follows.

"We is the scout frigate Mal'Vas, of the Harlothian Stellar Union. We are on a mission of research and discovery. An event happened that damaged the universe, we think it was here. Our mission is to investigate that event. Our ship will be entering the system in close time. We are attempting to decipher your languages, to more easily communicate. We come without aggressions."

-Harlothian Ship-

Science officer: "The five seeing probes are now orbiting the planet. We are getting many life readings, and signals of communication between native vessels. It appears to be the home-world of the native species, and is heavily populated. There are many signs of fighting, both amongst themselves, and with other races. There is even debris of Protoss vessels. This could support my hypothesis that it was a battle that damaged the universe. They do not act too hostile towards our pods yet."

Har'aal: "Have the seeing pods there send the same message in binary. Steersman, prepare the ship for sublight travel, we will be going in closer soon."

The probes at the various planets all broadcast the same message as the one sent at Mars. They then continue scanning the human ships and colonies...
