| TRANSLATIONS OF MYSTERIOUS SIGILS Magos Cataphrax, Through the use of our Delta-IV Pattern Translators (D4PT), we have been able to translate the tablet you sent us. We have found similar sigils on other tablets in systems close to Koath. These too have been translated. These translations, along with the reports being sent in almost daily from the Darvin sector, indicate the presence of a highly advance alien race. I would like to send some Explorator teams to investigate, when possible. ------------------------------------ We are the Tau. These are the words of Aun'o't'au'molan'cree'cays, highest Ethereal and Revered Elder: If you are reading this, then you will have encountered one of our messenger drones, and are therefore a space-faring race. Soon you will see more evidence of us. This is no cause for alarm. When you encounter one of our ships or outposts, welcome it, for we have much to offer a faithful friend. We are five castes. One people. The Earth Caste build and manufacture. The Air Caste pilot and navigate. The Water Caste liase and arbitrate. The Fire Caste defend our holdings and defeat our enemies. All are bound to the dream of bringing a new way to the universe. I hope you will choose to share the culture, technology and protection of the Tau Empire. The only constant in the universe is change. The wise adapt. Believe in our destiny. ------------------------------------------------------------- It is not our technology that will enable us to prevail in
the galaxy. --------------------------------- These comments are very interesting. I believe we could gain much from this race, as suggested by them. If they are as peaceful as they want us to believe they are, then we could open up trade, gain their technology... and then crush them with it. I await your response eagerly.
