REPORT - ULTRA CONFIDENTIAL
July 7, 3311
TO THE PILOTS' FEDERATION
December 18, 3310, marked yet another historic day for humanity. Greater than the discovery of atomic energy, and perhaps surpassing even that of hyperspace travel: the new and greatest victory over our most formidable enemies, besides ourselves, with the defeat of the Thargoid Titan Cocijo in the Sol system. Since then, celebrations have erupted across the occupied galaxy, and the news from Galnet, our primary communication channel, has been solely what follows a military triumph of this magnitude: looting of the Titan's remains and the reoccupation of the HIP 22460 system, held by the Thargoids since 3303.
However, this event seems to hold far more for us than merely the end of a war. At the galaxy's core, in the Eembaisk DG-O e6-2972 system, also known as Red and Green Glory, a solitary tourist beacon rests in orbit around planet 1A, waiting to be scanned by some commander. But this report concerns a curious phenomenon: instead of transmitting data, this beacon received data, and we, from the Event Horizon installation in the Stuemeae FG-Y d7561 system, near Sagittarius A*, during a routine sweep, appear to be the first to access it, as news of this nature would spread rapidly among humanity: an intelligent alien species has made contact with us. And they are pleading for help.
First and foremost, it must be noted that the transmission was received on July 4, 3311, apparently through gravitational waves, which, after extensive investigation into the anomaly of the wave patterns, were converted into radio wave format with an ease that seemed to be intentionally made, prompting deeper scrutiny. Without further ado, after this process, we received, in addition to the images at the end, the following text:
Come to us, humans, for you are the hope of an entire race.
We are the Resonari, and we have waged a silent battle against the Thargoids for thousands of years. When they came, we already had interstellar colonies. Billions of Resonari perished within months. Our only option was to submit to them.
You must understand: the Thargoids do not seek to be the only life in existence — they seek to be the greatest life in existence. As long as their hegemony remains unchallenged, there is no war. But the moment even the idea of that dominance is threatened... well, we believe you know what happens.
We did not submit without a plan.
Thargoid communication is based on biomechanical capabilities still unknown to us. They maintain a hive mind: what one individual knows, all others know. Yet their knowledge is limited by what they can sense. This, too, is why they often do not attack sentient beings in altered or low states of consciousness — there simply isn’t enough energy for them to detect.
Using our own biomechanical expertise — for the Resonari have always been attuned to electromagnetic communication — we made a painful choice. A large portion of our kin was sacrificed so the rest could vanish. We built a refuge: an asteroid, invisible to Thargoid sensors, where the few survivors could remain hidden.
You may judge us. But this decision was made by our ancestors millennia ago.
Since then, we have watched. We have endured. We have witnessed the minds of our people taken by the Thargoids, while we searched for the slightest hope to resist. We tried, again and again. We failed.
But you have succeeded.
We have monitored the Thargoid collective mind — it has expanded steadily since the earliest Resonari records. Until recently.
For the first time, we detected a decrease in its activity. A significant one. It took months of observation, but the cause became clear: the destruction of several entities you call Titans.
This changes everything.
And so we reach out to you — a peculiar species, lacking in biological or technological superiority, yet remarkably organized. And it is through this organization that you have accomplished what no other species has. Your technology may not dazzle, but what you’ve achieved with it is... unprecedented.
Perhaps we are the only ones to reach the interstellar stage after the Thargoids’ rise. And perhaps we will continue to be — if we stand together.
That is why we ask for your help.
Teach us, and we will teach you all we know. A new transmission will arrive in one month, with information on how to respond. We are eager. We are desperate. And we are hopeful.
We also wish to introduce ourselves properly. Enclosed is an image — a depiction of what the Resonari are. We cannot offer further explanation now, as this communication method was developed specifically for this message, and remains unstable.
It is with great gratitude that we send this message, speaking for all Resonari who remain free — and for the hope you have ignited, after millennia of utter darkness.
The attachment to the message is a 3D model — not a live transmission, but a visual representation. It depicts two beings who appear far more recognizable to us than the Thargoids ever have.

Yet we must also consider a more profound possibility — that this may be one of humanity’s most significant moments: first contact with communicative, peaceful alien life.
For this reason, we submit this report.
Beyond immediate guidance on how to proceed while we await the next scheduled transmission — expected to arrive on August 4, 3311 — we urgently request additional resources. We believe crucial information may have been overlooked in the initial rush to comprehend what the beacon transmitted.
Furthermore, we request more scientific personnel, as the complexity of the received data is unlike anything previously encountered. Strangely, despite this complexity, the message was easily deciphered, arriving fully structured in a universally intelligible human language.
Perhaps the Resonari know more about us than we can imagine.
