I'm imagining two super-competent AI speaking to each other like - "Here's three terabytes of our home planet history in annotated pictures, it covers the period since my people first crawled out of the sea, and yea that's why we are using base-14 numerical system, just count the number of the tail spikes. Okay, in three milliseconds the captain will press the communication button, just draw this picture stream however you like, it doesn't matter if you draw left-to-right or right-to-left, you are aliens anyway so you won't tell one fish face from another, and your species see in different color range, so just swap the colors to look fancier, our skin will look to you dull grey in person."
