Use planet-sized brain to discern all possible form of introduction, cross reference them with the Primsk language and the initial radio pulse, then reply with them, rephrased, in order of probability.

THIIIIIS!

This might work, except for the fact that (so far) they are only using the radio waves to send mathematical numbers to us, and have not actually tried to communicate with us using what we would identify as a language.

How? We have no medium through which to teach it.

We're beeping at it, aren't we? We just need to make the beeps more Morse code-ish.

I have absolutely no idea what's going on in this fort any more. Migrants arrive, they die for some reason, the fort is flooded for another reason, then dwarves go mad, more dwarves die and I'm just laughing in my distress.

Morse code is only useful when you have a shared language, alphabet, and both know morse code.

... this thread actually had me learn about linguistics ...

develop alpha wave detection and sending through void, gas, liquid and solid matter.

then listen into the minds of your "friends"

use that to find a common structural basis of language, then recreate your language to be similar to theirs.
