The Harlothian probes repeats the message originally sent to Aneph.

"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."

Meanwhile, the one over Scarlet territory gives a boost in its thrusters, altering its orbit away from said territory.

As a probe passes over AIF territory, a Vigilance class corvette de cloaks and follows it. The frigate takes scans, searching for possible weaponry and preparing tractor beams in case of hostility. The Home Fleet is put on alert, though overt signs of hostility are kept to a minimum. A message is sent in a variety of signal forms, including the binary that the probes have been receptive of.

"Greetings and salutations from the Imperial Alliance of Albion to the Harlothian Stellar Union. On behalf of Humanity, we welcome you, and hope that our relations are a peaceful and productive one."

-Frigate Mal'Vas-

Science officer: "We are beginning to receive more transmissions. Some seem hostile some welcoming."

Shipmaster Har'aal: "Continue scanning, and keep up the work on a translator."

OOC: The probes have a fairly broad range of coverage, with hemispherical sensor coverage at the front, and a blind spot at the rear.
