Snails Collective First Contact

[Snails]

***** Begin Transmission *****

Greetings Humans,

I am the representative of the Snails Collective.

We come in peace.

It is a great honor to represent my civilization in its first contact with the Human Race and it's numerous factions.

We are a race of explorers and scientists seeking knowledge, we do not wish to control territories or resources, we desire a peaceful exchange of cultural and scientific information.

Our language is based on sound waves that resonate at frequencies inaudible to humans therefore it's not possible to translate, please accept this crude association of our name with a mollusk native to your home planet but it's the closest life form in your known fauna that would posses any similarity to us.

We are open to any form of communication with all human factions present in Sirius and we will be soon establishing an Embassy after a thorough mapping of the cluster.

Ambassador of Snails Collective
