If there are inhabitants of Bennu be forewarned: before replying with beautiful art and poetry of your own and letting us know of your existence, our scientists will gather samples retrieved during the mission to "provide important clues of how our solar system formed and evolved" or more apropos is new place to colonize (we have history).
Here's a poem I wrote for our Venutians neighbors, Bennuites I will go write to send you that poem:
Venus is our planetary neighbor
Which brings hope to learn
Our history and our future.
They found bright spots
Indicating flowing lava
From active volcanoes.
The terrains had less craters
Than Mars which also may have had water
Russian astronauts pierced the shroud
And had a look.
Earth is our predatory neighbor
Which brings us fear to learn
That they have pierced our veil -
Our force field of sulfuric acid
In the atmosphere and entered our terrain.
Once they realized Venus sustains life
We'll expect the colonization
And destruction of our terrain,
Our Venus.
