Entertaining read op!
I am pleased to say that I have now fitted my ship with alien communication devices.
Like the universal language of mathematics, my thermal and kinetic communicators speak in a form that everyone can understand. Unfortunately I didn't have room for my explosive communicators.
I eagerly await first contact and the friendly banter that will ensue.

Verm meets the aliens and first thing he does is see if any of them stole my lighter...
Just look fer clouds of smoke rising from a crater...it's not the burning husk of my asp, it's called having a smoke out and arguing about who gets to run the kentucky at 3 in the morning fer munchies.
Then laughing at the silly thargoid who didn't realize it closes at midnight...be thankful we don't try and sell them some tartan paint or wake up with no eyebrows and the word "" wrote on his forehead while we all try to keep a straight face.
On a lighter note, I don't have guns fitted so can't shoot what I don't have ^^

Not until we know who they are, what they want, where they come from and where to shoot them.
Remember you can learn more from someone by having a friendly conversation
then interrogating them, then performing an autopsy

I have modified my communication devices. I want the aliens to understand one message.
"Dont mess with Humans and stay out of our space"
Open fire, all weapons!!
That is all.
That is all.
I have this queued up for broadcast: "We poison our air and water to weed out the weak! We set off fission bombs in our only biosphere! We nailed our god to a stick! Don't with the human race!"

"We come in peace, shoot to kill, shoot to kill..."
What if Merope was our local planning office all along? It all makes sense now!
WAITAMINUTE!!!
First contact should not say "we come in peace", because it's just not true. It will make for a much better start if first contact WARN THEM that a significant percentage of our number are NOT friendly.

You've been smashing their babies to bits for months and flogging the chunks, they are going to rip you all new orifices and drink your wobbly parts.

Updated the front page with crushdepth's suggestion. Oh, first contact will be so wonderful...
They arrive in all their splendour, and extend peaceful attempts at communication. We proceed to deploy our hardpoints and begin shooting each other to prevent either side being peaceful or aggressive to the aliens.
Now that I think of it, that scene would perhaps be the best method of communicating what we're like as a species. [big grin]

It bothers me that he shoots three rounds out of a two barreled gun ...
Like NPCs... you know...
