The fact that absolutely nothing was done by a nation that has repeatedly had supernatural and other-species encounters of the dangerous kind is kinda stupid. That's like a military base fighting off several spy groups, and when a pickup shows up, drives by and leaves, you treat it as if it were nothing.
Be the character. Be the nation. Don't change the character or nation mid-play and back again just because. It bothers me when a nation/character is uncharacteristic for no reason.

That is pretty stupid to say.
Disturbance at this place!
INVESTIGATE!
Random ship appeared near trade planet!
Random ship just disappeared!
That's weird. Anyways, go back to the usual.
I do not see how you find a disturbance, with a good chance of being nothing at all except a sun going supernova, or a black hole forming, and decide to send people to find out what it is during a crises, but when you see hard evidence of something else that is unknown, you pass it off as nothing at all, that it wasn't a scout or something.
If you're going to have a nation act a certain way, follow that certain way, and don't change into uncharacteristic action. That's like having a whole-family-murdered hard cold mob boss cooking a cake and singing karaoke for fun.

First Contact
With the sight of an immediately-armed fleet appearing, all three Corvettes immediately pulled back, leaving their meeting point for the safety of the giant Supreme fleet. As the Corvettes docked back with their motherships, each of the massive battleships and cruisers that held most of the Supreme population and all of the Supremes' firepower seemed to take a moment to shrink in on itself and disappear, teleporting to areas around the AIF fleet. Freighters and tankers teleported to other, unknown, locations, staying out of the way.
As the Supremes' ships move into position against the very hostile-appearing fleet, and the message is received, another is returned.
"Those who come bearing arms upon entering is a fool, for you should either enter with weapons armed, or enter and remain unarmed. Deactivate weapons or you will be perceived as the enemy, whom immediately pounced upon us with guns drawn, as if you own this galaxy."
((They are, of course, hypocrites.))

Yes, after they were in-galaxy. The signatures from cross-universe 'ports would already be gone, left behind in the Seeder space, which would be suicide to go into.
And again, there are bombers in this day that show up as a sparrow on radar. Imagine the bombers of a race a thousand times more advanced. We wouldn't get a single thing from them at that technological level. Disturbance? Yes. Enough of a disturbance to say "Direct intervention needed"? Probably not, unless one is fool enough to waste time and fuel to check in on a ripple.

Their energy signatures were nowhere in range of any of the other nations' scanners or beacons. The first jump was smack dab in the middle of Seeder territory. Then they just did a regular teleport to the GC. There is a very big difference between cross-galaxy and cross-universe.
As for language, well, think about it like this. They've revealed themselves to millions of sentient races. If you've done something thousands of times, over and over again with a different and hard challenge, then would you not become so adept to it that it would begin to be as easy as a runner? If you ran a mile a day, then after thousands of miles, you wouldn't even be breathing hard, while the first many times, you'd have been sweating and panting halfway through, or when you finished.
Don't say "They most likely had it" in defense to you assuming that they were half Draconian. The armor and shields that they have would be specifically against anything from getting through, including scanners. Stop assuming. Start asking things that you do not know for sure.
And why is it that a single individual of a nation of a very small in comparison nation cannot have very powerful psionics that were initially labelled as "god", when someone else is running about with an invincible teleport-anywhere do-anything all-powerful entity that was killed and just turned into an entity?

How is it that the Supremes are identified as Draconian, even though Draconians made everything they used themselves, since they were rogue and independent from the US? And how is it that you can immediately find them? You immediately assumed that they are enabling absolutely zero stealth abilities while they first entered town, and you immediately assumed that they were also Draconian.
Dude, that is just
wow.
really?
That's OOC information, and I thought that the difference between a roaming band of multiverse-old, trillions of years older than anyone else, and a group of all-powerful self-confident proud no-charity rogue species would be enough to say they use completely different technology, like a human and a Triarian.

First Contact of MWG
Each Supreme ship, most with clear functions, such as water tankers, fuel freighters, munitions freighters, battleships, and Corvettes, immediately moved into a more defensive order. All unarmed or lightly armed ships moved close together, while the much larger, more dangerous ships turned broadside and surrounded the transports, creating a rough sphere of ships.
After a period of several hours, a response in impeccable, perfect Equestrian and Triarian was sent back to the contacts, respectively.
We are the Universal Supremes, and this area has been selected for our temporary base of operations. This Center is now our center. Peaceful negotiations will be aboard the ship now emerging from our defenses.
True to their word, 3 Corvettes, one with less armaments but more thrusters and a much more obvious shimmering shield, moved out from one of the gaps from between the ships, approaching a predetermined location of equal distance between the Supremes, the 'Equestrians', and the 'Triarians.' Any possible explanation for how they knew the languages went unexplained.
