For the culture one: The AI transmits the contents of the cultural database to the alien ship. It responds almost at once with a similar signal: the alien intelligence must have decoded the seedship's cultural database and replied with information about its own alien culture. The AI files this new information away for analysis by the colonists when they awake.

The alien ship appears to have had enough of conversation, and accelerates away again into space.
