There's something very wrong with Relay 314. He set his drink aside and clicked open the interface for detailed information. He cursed yet again, so much for a boring afternoon. His browplates furrowed as he noticed the exact location of the dot. The steaming drink was of his favourite blend Bittersweet and strong.Ī red, flashing dot appeared on the holo screen. It would take a moment, so he leaned back on his chair and picked up a half-full bowl of tisane.

Lazily, he picked up a datapad, inserted it into the computer and started a data upload. All that excitement could go to those Turians looking to climb up the promotion ladder. A nice, peaceful tour lacking Batarian pirates hell bent on making him their personal slave suited him just perfectly. Aeschylus certainly understood the sentiment but the need for a break in monotony was one he did not share. Some of the guys were itching for a fight, hoping for some hapless pirate to try their luck against the Hierarchy’s fines. The reconnaissance probes in system had detected all the usual scenery Mass Relay 314, Status inactive A yellow star, a few uninteresting planets, and the odd bits of space debris. The Hammer had slowed down from FTL speed a few hours ago and begun its patrol along the borders of an uninhabited system. He knew that he should be taking the situation far more seriously, the Commander wanted a status report but it was a pointless request to be truthful. Aeschylus fell back into his chair and waited for the machine to sort itself out. He knew it wouldn't help and probably only made matters worse, but violence against an uncooperative computer was satisfying in itself. Sensor Officer, Lieutenant Aeschylus Tutmos cursed and struck the machine with his fist. We do not know if technological uplift or Council recognition is provided automatically, or if it must be requested/earned.**Six months, two week and three days later - Turian cruiser, The Hammer** If the initial contact goes well, then a delegation of the aliens is brought to the Citadel for culture and legal education. Standard protocol, at least for the Council and Humans, is to send a wide delegation to the new race, meeting them on their planet. Before the altercation with the Manswell colony, the Asari were observing a pre-spaceflight race, with no mention of contacting them. The Citadel Council appears to openly contact new races, but only if they are at the point of reaching space. The humans were already settling worlds and using the relays at this point, so they were treated like a newly-discovered galactic power. Notably, the Turian's responded to discovery of Humans by occupying their colony, rather than attempting a traditional diplomatic contact after the battle at Relay 314. It does appear that there are standard first-contact protocols, but they only appear to pertain to pre-spaceflight, or at least pre-relay species. There are some things we can determing or infer. They do appear to be compatible with what we know of the Raloi and Yahg contacts. It is unclear if these protocols are Human-specific, or enforced by the Citadel.

Rather than send in a full military force, they sent in a team of military experts, medics, sociologists, anthropologists, linguists, psychologists, geneticists, and other experts to a facilitate a dialogue with the colonists. In addition to these two events, there is mention of First-Contact Procedures in the events around the re-discovery of the Manswell Expedition.īelieving it very possible that the colonists had no knowledge of the rest of the galaxy, the Alliance decided to proceed using first contact protocols.
