We have been observing your planet since
its earliest days, we, from Zenopoli,   
a planet which orbits a similar star    
on the presently far side of Andromeda,
the name you have given our galaxy,    
a name we favor, and so have adopted.   
                                      
It is none of our business, but you need
to change the name you have given your   
galaxy.  Milky Way is way too cloying.
                                           
Do you stand aghast?  Be not afraid.   
You could have been as immortal as we.
We have long hoped you would discover   
how, but you have chosen paths leading  
to your extinction, and are now beyond  
saving.  We could change that, but our
federation prohibits us from formative
interventions.  So:  Why are we here?
We are here to let you know that once   
your planet has rid itself of you, we   
intend to revitalize and colonize it. 
Sound like a plan?
