First Alien Contact..

Post by Trytostaydead »

What if the first contact aliens made were with the Taliban or some such?

Do you think we'd have our first interstellar war within a matter of minutes?

Depends on the aliens. If a lizard bit you, would you stomp on every lizard that you see?

Honestly, they'd probly first have contacted the more high-powered factions on this planet like the USA, Russia, China, or the EU...

That would depend a lot on the aliens, if there members of the Cult of fundie space Islam and came to capture Mecca it would be a bit different then if the Zolton scientist came to study our species and buy porn.

In that case they would be heading to Japan :twisted: J/K

Best thing to do in such a case is to offer them up some smack in return for some realy cool Hi-tech shit :twisted:

...then the aliens found a Sharper Image catalog in the possession of a fleeing Taliban member (don't ask) and their ship soon was filled with useless shit.

Anyone who has developed interstellar travel cannot possibly be so dumb as to imagine that a species might not be made up of different and competing groups. So we'd just get to watch aliens fight the Taliban on CNN.

Actually, I role-played a story out like this once. An alien species had sent ships to Earth to colonize it only to discover it already inhabited (their FTL drive was rather slow and our radio signals hadn't reached their territory when the fleet was launched). The aliens were, fortunately for the purposes of this RPG, humanoid, but there were still extreme differences, especially cultural. They were able to negotiate; but were basically stuck in orbit and only had so much to go on their atmospheric systems. They ended up negotiating with France to buy French Guiana as a place to settle, since they had the equipment to clear out the jungle and make it suitable for habitation.

...Then, Osama bin Laden (this was before 9/11, mind you), managed to smuggle a black-market ex-soviet nuclear device onto one of the alien ships. It was detected before it went off, but, ah, the result was pretty dramatic, and when it was over, the aliens also possessed Afghanistan and Tajikistan. (They used nuclear bombardment to clear out certain pockets of resistance, even, and the conflict lasted twelve days.)

Because of disturbing similiarities to real life this story was not resumed after 9/11.

Aliens can make mistake too. :D

And what proof do we have WS was abducted by aliens,maybe he wrote the story to make money,or maybe he was on drugs and he confused the exam at the hospital for an alien probing exam.

If the EA fleet had not fired on the Minbari ships the war would not have happened,it was just cultural misunderstanding.

There are aliens here already. Bill Hicks talked about them. The higher cultured aliens are too smart to make contact with us and what we have visiting here are the alien equivilant of hill billies. It goes a long way to explaining anal probing and cattle mutilation.

I would hope that when the aliens come noone is surprised, but I suspect only scifi fans will take them into their homes. Normal people wont, but use skiffy lovers will be like "OH no shit youre an alien! Sweet! can i see a ray gun? do you have 6 uhm... uh.. 6, like the centauri? No way!"

What would you do if you met an alien,i`d ask him if i can take a ride in his ship. :mrgreen:

And i think Aerius would ask him if he`s touching himself at night. :wink:
