There is only silence for a couple of minutes while Nihlus decides what to do.
This transmission confirms his original guess - someone had already travelled through the relay he had discovered. But they haven't tried to return - meaning they either had no means or no intentions of doing it. Could be a crashed ship, could be petty criminals hiding on a suitable world away from Council space. They must have been here for at least some time - either they have enough resources to survive for a long time, or they are a species suited to living on this planet. Even the fact they're using a scrambler could either mean they're expecting trouble, or it could be a simple security measure.
Deciding that revealing his Spectre position might be a hasty move in this situation, Nihlus finally activates his own audio transmitter.
"My name is Nihlus", he informs the mysterious sender. "Who am I talking to?"
taking some liberties here/assuming they're both speaking some citadel lang
