Soon after it broadcasted its message, the Mechera saved a copy of it and analyzed the coordinates provided.
Moments later, the probe was teleported to those same coordinates, slightly modified so that the Mechera could change its message. It would be programmed to go off when nearby ships or broadcasting systems of a similar design to the original probe were nearby-
Favored Ally!
The Empire has recieved your summons to this meeting of nations. Unfortunately, a massive Alliance would necessitate changes within the governmental systems of its participants, as the majority of the nations agree upon things that all member nations must ban. In addition, such a Alliance would most likely be led by a single, or a group of, the strongest member nations. While the Empire does not believe that any of its customs would offend or be part of the ban, and does not believe that the leading party would be unjust, The Mechera Empire nonetheless has no interest at this time in negotiating the lessening of any part of our sovereignty, though we aspire to keep very good relations with you all.
If the treaty wished to be enacted in instead primarily a defense alliance which hopes to coordinate fleets against attackers, and will not result in any changes in the internal rule of the member states, the Empire wiuld be much more open to considering such a treaty. If this is the case, please rewrite the message on this probe and teleport it back to these Coordinates explaining the intended terms of this Alliance.
