"Come and see what we have found!"
Two weeks ago the message was sent from a backwater red giant system on the fringes of explored space. It was sent using multiple FTL communication methods and looped every four and a half minutes.
Encoded in the data packet was the same message portrayed graphically and in audio. A further encrypted layer held coordinates.
Those who had encountered them before recognised the communication protocols as belonging to an advanced but fickle race of brightly coloured nomads.
"Come and see what we have found!"
Might as well get the ball rolling.
What you see is what you get. The Macaclo have found something in a remote system, and they are sending out an invitation.
Some races will already know each other. Some will be aware of each other but have not made contact. A few will be total strangers.
Oh, and the Macaclo ate someone's ambassador. Might have been yours.
