I think we should take out the references to xenos and other groups isolated from mainstream Terragen civ receiving the message.
Good point. Here again I'd like to tweak that to some large number of known and verified instances, plus a claim from the Beneficence people that the scope was much larger, or perhaps even infinite. Though to be fair the author describes a fair number of mundane explanations for the observed data already.
Maybe just my cynical nature, and almost certainly not what the author intended, but my first take on the whole Beneficences 'Ascension' technorapture is that it was some kind of transapient-led equivalent of a Jim Jones massacre, where those who 'drank the kool aid' were destroyed or subsumed.
