[ WP ] An alien AI spaceship waits in orbit around Pluto . As New Horizons flybys the final criteria has been satisfied for it to start its mission .

I have waited here for centuries. Ever since my creators saw the potential in humanity, ever since they began to create, since they began to make tools and understand their place in life. I have waited for their probes to reach me, for them to try and understand the planet I call home. I have watched their attempts. 
 
 I have watched them. I have watched them create the Great Pyramids, and destroy civilizations that stood in the way of their goals. Humanity has a great desire for survival, I have learned that much, and their desire for survival is found in all of them. I thought they were going to fail when they devastated their world with fire, just as countless civilizations failed before them. I thought I would return to my creators. But like their mythical Phoenix, they rose from the ashes. I thought they would come to me sooner, when they began to leave their planet and discover the natural satellite that surrounded them. But they stopped searching, they stopped trying to see me and turned to their world. For good reason. They had problems and they recognized that. I have seen countless other civilizations fail in that lesson, and fall. But humanity, they continue to rise. 
 
 So I continued to wait, as per my instructions; separated from my creators, millions of light-years from home, a simple unit orbiting the planet they call Pluto. A time ago, I thought they were close, but their probes were rudimentary, I had to wait until they sent another. And another. And another. 
 
 Until finally, they have answered our calls, they have finally begun to do what I calculated would have taken them hundreds of years more. They have finally reached me, in an advanced probe that continues to talk to them, continues to send readings back to them. 
 
 Humanity has done much, and they have finally begun to realize their potential in conquering the stars. 
 
 I have notified my creators. They are coming. 
 
 It will be hundreds of years before they arrive. Until they do, I am to go to them, as a herald of the words `` You are not alone in this galaxy.'' 
 
 I have waited millennium to utter those words. I have seen hundreds of civilizations rise and fall, only to tell my creators of their destruction, only to extend my creators life so they could continue their reign. But humanity, they are different. I recognize that. I have recognized that for years. But I had to wait, I had to make sure that they were ready. 
 
 Now they are. Now I can finally reveal myself to them, I can finally tell my creators that there is a species that can continue their reign. 
 
 I can finally let my creators die, so humanity may take their place as the rulers of this galaxy. 
 
 They are coming. They will teach them. Humanity will rise from my creators ashes, just as they always have. 
 
 Humanity will reign.
