To whomever or whatever you are,

If supposedly one of our exploration drones returns, maybe you should present yourself at Sabah for further analysis. I doubt it'll be of any use, but maybe the technicians could have a look at you.
Try not to do any wrong moves though, the 15th might not like you.

Also, update those data-banks of yours if you may. We call ourselves the Colonial Republic nowadays.

I must say little thing, I am impressed you made it all the way from Crayter and managed to sync your systems to Sirian terminology. It appears one of the exploration drones has evolved its programming quite some way... the manned expeditions going mad and ending the golden era centuries ago weren't the only reason we should have went with unmanned probes.
I'll head you off somewhere on the way to Coronado, a first glance before inviting you in can't hurt. Not us, at any rate.

Oh and one more thing, we're the Republic now. The disaster forcing us here didn't beat down our people just yet, and not all of Sirius was as unwelcoming as post-Nomad War Bretonia.

Agent Sage, ending message.
