Neil Asher has a short story set in the Polity Universe where a member of an advanced ancient alien race thought to be extinct is discovered in cryostasis. Upon de-thawing the creature, they discover it's sea dwelling using chemical scent as it's primary sense with no vision or sound, making communication very difficult. But the creature itself is able to manipulate it's environment until it manufactures a human conduit for learning and communication with the human AIs, and finally the humans.
