Greetings Doctor Belov. This is a encrypted communication drone sent by Sentinel Progenitor. We are aware of your reputation as researchers with a loose sense of ethics. All attempt to tamper with-, disassemble- or scan the drone will result in self-destruction of the vessel.
your encounter in Omega 49 gave me a lot of scenarios to simulate. After calculating the probability of the different outcomes and comparing the positives and negatives of each one, the result is that a meeting with representatives of the SCEC would definitely be benefactory.
The conditions under which a neutrality would be achieved are not acceptable without conditions of our own however. The Gammu Ice Field is heavily protected by the Collective and even allies are not allowed to enter it. This is not only because it surrounds Planet Gammu, but also because it contains more than just shards of ice. To protect research that requires space conditions, and processes that cannot be completed in a planetary environment the whole field is periodically blasted with electromagnetic pulses. Maybe we can find a solution to this issue during our meeting.

Greetings,
I was expecting this message. Our previously expressed commitment to cease all forms of aggression between our factions is standing and we are ready to dispatch the diplomatic mission to a designated mutually acceptable spot. I believe that Omicron Theta looked promising for both Parties, so I suggest meeting there in the vicinity of the local Freeport that should provide us with favourable diplomatic immunity during the meetings, while not raising much suspicion at the time yet to be decided. There we will be able to discuss in details the agreement in question.
I also must apologise for not getting in touch with you in Machine-to-machine fashion as linking our AI to external synthetic sentience is deemed dangerous: who knows what ideas can spawn in its circuits. However, if developments satisfy us, we shall introduce our master-mind machine to you later on.
