[QUOTE="Mustrum_Ridcully, post: 7946992, member: 710"] I think it's simply a matter of finding a needle in a haystack - by accident. There are really a lot of stars just within the galaxy. Figuring out what kind of properties they all have, how they relate to each other... Maybe Federation star charts actually contain this system - but no one actually looked closely at them and realize "huh, that's a weird thing to happen, we should send a probe at least". Or they realized: "Oh, darn it, it's in Romulan space, I guess I'll have to venture to one of the other 00 intersting things we discovered this tuesday." I mean, if you want to start a Synth/Organic war, this message certainly would do it, because no matter who gets it, they seem to think that they're in serious danger and have to fight for their survival. So I would not be exactly surprised if the message is a trick or something. But I could also see it as face value, the message is what it states it is. I guess one contradiction in the message however would be: If these advanced synths think that organic life is a threat they need to excise... Why do they still allow it to form and advace to new civilizations? Just because that can create new Synth life? Can't they do that themselves? Or is there some joy in seeing new synth life form? Maybe it is the Mass Effect 3 story, but this time a lot closer to making sense - every new biological civilization creates synth life that carriers with it the culture of the biological civilization that created it, so they can retain the good (or least "interesting") stuff the biologicals created, but get rid of the messy bit?
