5. Hope you don't mind if Sindre is the alien~talks_to_nisseJuly 19 2012, 03:42:46 UTC
It was standard protocol that, when an inhabited planet was discovered, to send only one delegate down. One delegate wasn't a threat, an invasion. One delegate ensured that he or she would have to be listened to. One delegate ensured that should the life-forms turn violent, loss of life was minimal.
Not that they were completely foolish. Sindre may be the only one descending to the surface of the planet, but there were plenty of ships still in orbit, able to strike at any moment.
Sindre ran through what he knew of these lifeforms. They had gathered a sense of the main language from satellite relays. Bipedal, like his own species. Bigendered. Likely the only Higher Intelligence Life Form on the planet, which they referred to as "Earth".
His ship settled with a thump. Time to meet the aliens.
