[b]Communications to the Emperor Penguins, the United Commonwealth of Nations[/b]
[u]To the United Commonwealth of Nations[/u]
Received. We are now designating you as 'Unified Health.' You have stated a convincing proposal for one that has few resources, but I, personally, would like to point out that we have mining operations all throughout the Asteroid Belt and the Moon, and that we have much more advanced space-centered technology. Speaking for my people, we appreciate your offer, though what we need is mainly complicated items on request and supplies to keep our people alive. The probability that you'll be selected is equal to only one other. Standby for decision; our impatience and hunger are our driving deciding factors. Spacer-2 out."

[u]To the Emperor Penguins, several hours later[/u]
"Another offer has come by with greater benefits to our survival, and our supplies are reaching critical levels. We regret to say that we will not align ourselves to your primarily, though our higher ranking members would like to extend a more neutral offer of mutually-beneficial trade, with a discount on our side, should you decide to construct landing bases. Note that we will take any attempt to study our technology or ships without a Ceres Independence ranking officer present and observing without permission from a high-ranking Ceres inhabitant will result in a break of any ties we have with you, as well as our withdrawal from any Antarctic-Union-related actions, activities, or agreed-upon decisions. Spacer-2, out."

[u]To the Unified Health, right after the Emperor Penguins[/u]
"The Ceres Independence would like to accept your offer and decide upon an agreement to further relations between our two nations. Currently, we are in dire need of supplies. As a first order of business, we will attach schematics to this message as a datafile to be used on a 2-D or 3-D screen, or a holographic table, should you have the technology. Afterwards, two of our shuttles will land, one landing and taking supplies back up, and the second bringing down a Ceres Independence Official to discuss the agreement and a current project. If you are so inclined, we will allow three of your brighter space-capable technological researchers or scientists to come aboard Ceres. We currently will not allow any foreigners to enter the CIS [i]New Point,[/i]. Is this acceptable? Spacer-2, out."
