First Contact

[AxeCapital]

Welcome to Taco Island: Alien Diplomacy

In this Role Play, Aliens have started visiting Taco Island. Leaders and residents of Taco Island have received transmissions from various civilizations from distant planets and galaxies, expressing their interest in establishing contact with your world.

As the leaders and residents of Taco Island, it is up to you to decide how to respond to this invitation. Will you embrace the opportunity to learn from these visitors, or will you be wary of their intentions?

In this Role Play, you will have the chance to shape the narrative of this encounter and explore the possibilities that arise when two vastly different civilizations meet. Will you work together with the Aliens to establish a relationship based on mutual respect and cooperation? Or will you clash over cultural differences and misunderstandings?

The possibilities are endless, and the fate of Taco Island lies in your hands. So come join us in this exciting adventure, and let's see where this encounter with the Aliens takes us!

Everyone may play as Aliens or Taco Island Residents. Or both!

PREVIOUSLY (at the Taco Island Senate 10000islands.proboards.com/thread/43781/taco-island-parliament-2023?page=7 )

A message was received by the leaders of Taco Island from the representatives of the faraway planet Slorpia to establish peaceful contact and exchange between the two civilizations. The visitors express their fascination with the diversity of life on Taco Island and their intention to establish a relationship based on mutual respect and cooperation. They reassured the leaders of Taco Island that their arrival will be peaceful, and they hope to earn the trust of the inhabitants of Taco Island and begin a new chapter in their shared history.

They were welcomed warmly, and by some sceptically.

NOW

Greetings, this is Korvotron.

My family and I have landed our spaceship on the roof of a nice house, and taken residence here.

But not to worry, the house was empty, completely empty when we found it! We most definitely did not disintegrate the inhabitants of the house. Ah yes, there is also a dog house outside, it was also empty when we arrived. Yes... definitely empty.

I hope we could be shown around the town. I also wish to know why everyone is wearing different clothes, this is ridiculous, all clothes should look the same, what is this a circus?

[Liberdon]

Welcome Korvotron!


Taco Island is always happy to make new friends!
You must be hungry after your long journey. May I interest you in some spider tacos or centipede cupcakes?

[AxeCapital]

Liberdon, Ah yes very kind of you to offer us some of your fine delicacies, I will certainly try some. Though I was hoping to try the staple food of you earthlings, starbucks.

[Jabberwocky]

Well, you see, that's the thing about Liberdon. She has peculiar ideas about what is suitable cuisine...for others. I'll announce the presence of aliens to my Privy Council...of which Libby is a member.

Now, about clothing...I favor board shorts and sandals, but most people have their own preferences. 

[Jabberwocky]

@axecapital,uh, Korvotron, I have presented the matter of contact with your species and await some kind of consensus. In the meantime, Liberdon, if you could refrain from influencing negotiations unduly...

Whatever do you mean?

All I was going to do was offer Korvotron a drink from the Taco Island Lounge. It’s a new recipe!

[Jabberwocky]

That's a terrific idea, now that we've agreed to approach the aliens in a friendly fashion.

Right…friendly .

[Liberdon]

Here you go Korvotron! A brand-new delicacy straight from the Taco Island Lounge. I hope you enjoy it! The red coloring comes from my secret ingredient .

[Jabberwocky]

That's correct. Amicable, as we discussed in Chambers. The smiling official face of First Contact. The media are always watching.

[Jabberwocky]

Our Senate and Parliament are both discussing First Contact. It is our top priority.

[Liberdon]

While you’re waiting for an official update from Taco Island Parliament and Senate, feel free to try a slice of this cake! The first bite has already been taken, so you know it’s edible. Try to guess what the secret ingredient is!

[Jabberwocky]

You may have scared them off. They haven't uttered a peep in two weeks. They've become as elusive as Wabaloos.

The bite looks like it’s on the fork!

[Liberdon]

For some reason, my taste-tester couldn’t bring himself to swallow the bite.

Cosma Celeste was ecstatic.

He had just received a call that his application to join Dr. Corner’s research team was successful. Dr. Corner, a renowned astrophysicist based in Taco Island, was always at the forefront of astronomical research, including the famous hunt for extraterrestrial life (HETI) project.

For Cosma, this was a dream come true. He always wanted to unlock the secrets of the universe, and if we was lucky, possibly discover extraterrestrial beings.

Cosma immediately accepted the job, and hopped on the next plane to Taco Island, prepared to start the next phase of his life.

[Jabberwocky]

The Hunt for Extraterrestrial Intelligence is welcome on Taco Island. Perhaps you can help us communicate with the aliens.

[AxeCapital]

There are various reports of missing people in the location of where the Slorpians have taken refuge. However, no connection has been established between the missing people and the new alien visitors

[Jabberwocky]

Do we have two alien species here?

(Not from me. Well, not yet at least  )

[Jabberwocky]

I'm curious: was Liberdon's cake to your liking?

Liberdon "It was indeed most satisfactory. Though we Slorpians derive our energy through photosynthesis, we do sometimes like to partkae in the activity of eating that other species engage in"

Are you a form of sentient plant life?

"You could say that. What you humans call plants were our prehistoric ancestors. One day your planet too will see the rise of plants in conjunction with machines that will completely displace humans from the ecosystem"

Dramatic music plays behind.

"Yumtron stop playing that violin. How many times do I have to tell you that violins are a health hazard, we are much better using it as fire wood"

[Jabberwocky]

I'd like to introduce Yumtron to the banjo, or maybe bagpipes.

A new group of aliens have arrived. Koalasapiens, looking much like Koalas. They have rapidly assimilated to human culture (mostly Australian), drinking beer and calling everyone 'mate'.

They have also started the Porflox fan club, attracting members from all species.

[Jabberwocky]

Good on yer, mate! We're becoming a Galactic Hub.
