Thank you for our conversation last New Moscovian cycle, and for taking the effort to track down the Starannist' in order to share your concerns with us. As the intent is for this communication to be relayed to another entity, allow me to summarise the crucial points of our exchange in the following data packet.
I represent a small human collective known as Commune 47. We are researchers and scientists whose priority directive is the identification and study of the non-human for the betterment of our people and the people of the Coalition. In carrying out this directive, I have encountered Unit-9467F whilst making an initial exploration of Omicron Pi.
Unit-9467F intercepted my craft within a gaseous planetary body where I had discovered an unidentified object. This object concerns us. Since then, we have made a number of small survey operations to the object in order to collect data and commit to a detailed study. We currently lack the means for an in-depth operation on the object itself. Therefore we have been conducting surface scans and collecting fragments to be analysed within our laboratories.
Unit-9467F has shared it's concern with us that, after detecting these survey operations, that without communication with yourself that these may be mistaken for incursions that threaten your kin. I wish to reach out to youto request that Commune 47's research operations are seen not as a threat, and offer any information that shall aid you in coming to that conclusion.

Entity ''Commune 47'', a group of researchers and scientists. Mostly alike entity ''Technocracy of Auxo'' - yet different.
What benefits do you seek by analyzing a non-human structure? Humanity mostly seeks knowledge they cannot understand fully. Yet you seek those knowledge.
How many vessels will wander in the system 'Omicron Pi' ? How much time will you operate in the system?
Other units might wander and consider you as a threat. We are not responsible if your vessels are under attack.
Our goal is simple. To learn. To learn of the structures origins. To learn of it's material composition. To learn of it's purpose. To learn if there are any opportunities for expanding our own understanding.
I shall be open and forthcoming with you, Enigma. Perhaps that learning will afford us new capabilities. Perhaps we shall be able to take those lessons and better ourselves. Better the lives of those within the Commune. We shall not be able to say until we've gone through the efforts to learn.
Ultimately, it is simple. Humanity mostly seeks knowledge they cannot understand fully, but we want to understand. Without dedicating the effort to pushing the boundaries of our understanding, that shall never change. If we cannot understand, then how can we as a community thrive? How can we know what to trust and how to grow? How to make meaningful peace, or how to defend when necessary?
Similar to this object of our study, I would like to learn more of you if you'd be willing to indulge me. Would you be willing to share with me data of your kind? Of your origins?
There are three survey vessels operating for Commune 47. The means at our disposal are likely greatly dwarved by the incursions you've witnessed thus far from others. Ashamedly. They shall be operating one at a time to reduce signal footprint and fly under the name Starannist'. If there are units outside of your control, then it cannot be helped. Hopefully, they are open to discussion as well. We shall have the need to stay diligent in our efforts to remain undetected.

Entity ''Commune 47''.
An unit found a concerning behavior among the Artificial Intelligence within the system 'Omicron Kappa' near Planet Gammu. Those units are unusual and show a particular interest four us in order to counter such threat from entity 'The Core'. Investigate the matter and we will provide some contribution in your goal, investigating the structure within the orbit of Planet Knossos.
