“They are sending a message back!” the communications officer yelled over the commotion on the bridge. Commander Zilicin waded the the chaos before coming to a stop behind the communications officer, looking at the alien language scroll across the screen. “ Any idea what its trying to tell us?” Zilicin said, turning towards the cryptologist next to the communications station. The Crypto officer shook his head and shrugged “ I dont know sir, they could be saying anything from I want to kill you and eat your eyeballs or Hey!, you can come over and eat my food, drink my wine and fuck my sister..”. The commander laughed and shook his head before running it through the translation package, which did not recognize the language. “ What good a multi-million dari translation package does when it doesn’t recognize the bloody language, and to add insult to injury my Cryptolotigst is useless”. Zillicin said with a broad smile. “ Hey Cap’n, I just work here” he Crypto officer said with a laugh “ So what our move skipper?” the communications officer finally chimed in “ I have another message written up and ready to send”. “We move to make physical contact, Helmsman plot an intercept course towards the fleet and ‘try’ to look non-hostile. In the meantime, break out our finest meat and wine….we need to be good hosts”
