The Congregation communed with the Builder quickly, instantaneously. The Builder floated forth, detached from his Teynen. The Congregation did not wish to accidentally overload and injure this Psion with its vast presence, so it opted for the Builder, a singular voice to speak with the Psion. "To trade, for the knowledge we seek, we have knowledge to share. If your people may allow me passage into your planet, then we may discuss this further." The technological, yet melodic voice of the Builder rang in the Psion's mind.

The Builder drifted backward. "The Congregation shall remain here, and I shall take my Teynen with me unto your orbit. Know this, though, the we are not your brothers in battle, if your adversaries come with a vast army and wrath to pay, then we shan't attack them, but if they wished to invoke the Congregation's wrath and indeed, mine, then they shall taste it in full."
