First Contact Wanted

First Contact Wanted

''When we first discovered the StarDrive, our people were incredibly excited to get out among the stars and see what we could find. And now that we have - now that we've started receiving these strange transmissions from galactic news networks - we know for a fact that there are other sentient species in the galaxy. The problem is that we haven't actually met any of them, and this has lately been the cause of much internal debate and discussion amongst your people. To rectify this issue, a band of our leading citizens have offered us a large financial incentive to discover another major space-faring race within the next 50 turns. If we can do this within the allotted time period, then they will transfer 500 BC into our imperial coffers.''


 * Understood. We'll see if we can discover another race within 50 turns.

Failed to Make First Contact

''We've been in space for a long time now. We know that there are other major spacefaring races out there - we've seen them on this weird GNN broadcast that keeps hijacking our signals. But where are they? We've looked and looked, and still we find ourselves alone. The investors who offered us 500 BC for first contact have taken their money elsewhere.''


 * Oh well
