[b]Random Encounter[/b]
In an expedition trip conducted at this cycle, the Ceramus has found what appeared to be a collective empire (Triarian Collective) with relatively advanced technology. Although it seemed that the exploration fleet leader and the Commander conducting it had wanted to do the Deception that they had done to the LCF, they have decided that two enemies are alreadly enough for the civilization to handle, and thus have planned to conduct normal peace-contact procedures with them. 

The following message, including a translation matrix, has been sent:

[i]Greetings, strangers. We are the Ceramus, and currently we seek peaceful contact with your species. We express our apologies if you consider this trespassing. Please state what procedure you wish for this first-contact occasion to undergo.[/i]
