The message array was aligned with the nearest orbiting satellite. It was not known if the recipient nation had tightbeam or other efficient methods of communication. Likely not, but the Council deemed it necessary to try. As well, messages were also sent using regular "modern" forms of communication.

We are not interested in joining any type of alliance. However, we have never heard of sentient cat-like creatures and would be most interested in obtaining tissue samples to improve our genetic stocks and thus maintain the Machine.

Be well.

Ha! So, the miserable mammalian cowards are it again, eh? Hmph, let's see how you like it when the futuristic power of our armed forces overwhelms your pathetic nation.

Nobody of this nation is "at" anything save trying to live a decent life free from unjustified persecutions. We are a small nation, true, but we are a strong nation in spirit, and if you believe we would be easily overrun, I implore you to think again, preferably before lives are needlessly wasted.

Electronic means of communication were standard within the Confederate States, and a reply was sent from the private offices of Mariel Orne within hours.

Before we agreed to provide tissue samples, we would need to know the nature of this "Machine" to which you referred.

We are not at liberty to discuss the inner workings of the Machine. Suffice to say, it is our Sustainer. If you would like, perhaps a visit would be in order since a written explanation would hardly suffice.

Be well.
