Galactic sisters, brothers, all,
 for ages you have wondered on
 sensing something further out,
 and, while unready, you were right.
 This nature of our universe
 demands we seek to reconnect
 these minds entangled to that core
 bound beneath your physics' floor.
 Your rising sciences and arts
 suggest you have directions, sense.
 As we prefer you master paths
 to peaceful truths and selfless love,
 we simply come to say, "Persist."
 Survive so, in one thousand years,
 when we return, we may compare
 more equally, begin to share.
 We hereby offer, through this pact,
 good reasons to advance contact:
 your membership within our realm,
 where all thrive, none overwhelm,
 but balanced be - our central way,
 Your questions, yes. Another day.
 Our answers, now, will complicate.
 Do well to grow beyond your state.
 Fare better than to domineer.
 Serenities upon your sphere.
