Juni 2438\n\nBy. Shelley Field Wir haben uns immer gefragt. Seit wir ins Universum aufgebrochen sind, f\u00fchlten wir uns schrecklich allein. Durch die Entdeckung von Sprungbrettern, fremden Systemen, f\u00fchlte es sich im Schwarzen schrecklich einsam an. Jetzt \u00e4ndert sich alles. Weil wir es jetzt wissen.\n\nUm etwa 3:13 Uhr SET scannte Vernon Tar, ein sechsunddrei\u00dfig Jahre alter Explorer, nach unentdeckten Sprungbrettpunkten im Davien-System. Tar trieb mit dem Brummen seiner Tiefreichweitenscanner durch das Schwarze, um ihm Gesellschaft zu leisten, und bekam pl\u00f6tzlich einen Treffer.\n\n\"Wenn man so lange in der Stille ist, macht einem jeder Ping eine Sekunde lang Angst\", teilte Tar \u00fcber DataCom mit, \"also habe ich meinen Bildschirm \u00fcberpr\u00fcft und, naja, es war kein Sprungpunkt.\"\n\nEs war ein Schiff. Urspr\u00fcnglich dachte er, es sei nur ein weiterer Entdecker oder ein verlorenes Schiff, und Tar best\u00e4tigte es kaum.\n\n\"Ich wollte es mir fast nicht ansehen. Ich war mir sicher, dass es ein anderer Jumper hier drau\u00dfen war, der nach dem Gleichen suchte wie ich.\" Erst als das Schiff n\u00e4her kam, erkannte er, was er ansah; das erste Mitglied einer au\u00dferirdischen Rasse. \"Nachdem ich meinen Schock \u00fcberwunden hatte, wusste ich, dass es eine heikle Situation war. Wir starrten uns nur eine Weile an.\"\n\nTar kontaktierte UNE SOC und gab seine Koordinaten weiter. Eine Delegationspartei wurde schnell zusammengestellt und eilte zum Tatort. Milit\u00e4rische Kr\u00e4fte waren vor Ort, falls sie sich als feindlich erwiesen. Das Treffen dauerte etwa vierzig Minuten. Die UNE-Truppen mussten auf eine Antwort der Alien-Rasse warten.\n\nWissenschaftler krabbeln derzeit darum, Programme zu entwickeln, um \u00dcbersetzung und Kommunikation zu erleichtern, aber nach Jahrtausenden der Zivilisation k\u00f6nnen wir alle sagen, dass wir den Ersten Kontakt mit der Gnade und W\u00fcrde einer wirklich fortgeschrittenen Rasse gehandhabt haben. Von hier aus wissen wir jetzt mit Sicherheit, dass es eine weitere Rasse gibt, eine andere Zivilisation, mit der wir teilen und wachsen k\u00f6nnen.\n\n\n\n\nVorfallsbericht\n\nEingereicht bei H-SOC Central\n\nAutor: GEN Neal Socolovich\n\nNur f\u00fcr autorisierte Benutzer\n\nRe: Alien-Kontakt\n\nGegen 15:00 Uhr wurde der erste Kontakt mit einer fremden Zivilisation im Davien-System hergestellt. Hier ist ein \u00dcberblick dar\u00fcber, was passiert ist: Vernon Tar suchte das System nach Sprungbrettern, als seine Systeme einen Kontakt aufnahmen. Angenommen, es war nur ein weiterer Entdecker, er\u00f6ffnete er das Feuer, bevor er erkannte, dass es sich tats\u00e4chlich um ein au\u00dferirdisches Schiff handelte. Er bekam Angst und meldete es. Wir isolierten den Comm, um die Situation im Auge zu behalten, und eilten so schnell wie m\u00f6glich zum Tatort und verabschiedeten sofort ein Standardprotokoll zur Eind\u00e4mmung und Medienbr\u00fcche.\n\nSo gut wir konnten, schien der Au\u00dferirdische[sp\u00e4ter JERRY] ersch\u00fcttert und ver\u00e4rgert dar\u00fcber, von Tar beschossen zu werden. Wir wollten nicht auf das Problem eingehen, also versuchten wir, Jerry mit Pantomimetechniken zu beruhigen. Sofort die TECH-Div benachrichtigt, um mit der Arbeit an einer Art \u00dcbersetzungsger\u00e4t zu beginnen. Jerry lie\u00df sie etwas von seiner Sprache aufnehmen. Wir haben auch fl\u00fcchtige Scans seiner Schiffe durchgef\u00fchrt. Nichts offen, was nicht den Verdacht wecken wollte, aber Data ist angeh\u00e4ngt.\n\nWir haben einige Informationen an die Presse weitergegeben und einen unserer Mitarbeiter eingesetzt, um als Tar f\u00fcr das Interview zu posieren, um sicherzustellen, dass er die Linie betreten hat. Wir glauben nicht, dass Tar ein Problem sein wird. Wir erkl\u00e4rten ihm unverbl\u00fcmt, dass, wenn er schweigt, er der Held sein wird, der den ersten Kontakt hergestellt hat, und nicht der Idiot, der fast den ersten interstellaren Krieg ausgel\u00f6st h\u00e4tte. Tar hat verstanden.\n\nIn der Zwischenzeit haben wir Scan-Arrays bei Davien eingesetzt, um die Augen offen zu halten, werden aber in den n\u00e4chsten Tagen oder Wochen mehr Kontakt erwarten. Ich bin sicher, sie sind wahrscheinlich genauso neugierig wie wir.\n\n\nSie waren neugierig. Zwei Wochen sp\u00e4ter erschien eine ausl\u00e4ndische Delegation im Davien-System und stellte den Kontakt zu Socolovich her. In den n\u00e4chsten Monaten arbeiteten die beiden Rennen daran, die Kommunikationsbarriere zu durchbrechen. Als wir endlich interagieren konnten, erfuhren wir, dass es die Banu waren. Eine kollektive Rasse von Planetenstaaten, die auch gerade erst begonnen hatte, das Universum zu erforschen.\n\nIm Oktober 2438 unterzeichneten Socolovich und die anderen Delegierten das erste Interstellare Friedens- und Handelsabkommen mit der Banu.","zh_CN":"United Times\/Tribune NewsOrg Archive\n\nFirst Scheduled: June 12, 2438\nBy.
