The first message from the Outsiders was the classical prime numbers palimpsest. After we established a working language (147 years of agonizing lightspeed back and forth) they sent us the plans for superliminal communication. Don’t get overexcited, it only propagates at 16c so it still took another lifetime to get online on galactinet and download the Galactic Commons application pack. Then, like it was the simplest thing of all, the Others asked us had we gotten our Galactibank verification code okay and what was it. Fortunately, we didn’t evolve yesterday.
