Ambassador, we are the crew of this vessel of Futura Sobornost, and we welcome you to enter our vessel.
Like we said before, we mean no harm, and aim for a peaceful relation between our people and your people.
We use your information to translate our language into your language, so please forgive us if there are mistakes. We will be correcting them as our contact continues.
14:54:02 <Lykens> Explain your definition of Reno.
11:47 <Swilatia> Good god, copy+paste is no way to build a country!
03:08 <Democratic Koyro> NSG senate is a glaring example of why no one in NSG should ever have a position of authority

“Thank you for your praise, as this is one of the most common and versitile ship of the Sobornost, designed for its utility and adaptation to different missions that we might have to undergo.” Vilhelm said, as his speech was translated. The cross-examination of both speeches would be a good material for the translation algorithm of the alien. “Concerning the widespread of genetic engineering, we consider it one of the most useful tools to increase both our life quality and personal freedom. Since accompanied with many other related technology, we can effectively design our own body for whatever use, appearance, or even fetishes that the user might be interested in, it enables us to maximise our personal freedom, for our circumstance at birth and at growth do not hinder us anymore. In fact, my current body was designed and built specifically for this moment, as it enhances my ability to extract and analyse information with my mind, thus to ensure it would not go wrong.”
“At the same time, my colleague here, Theodora Boveta, had her body designed for maximal somatic skills and ability, so that she could assist me for heavy works, as well as utility works that might need super-human strength.” Vilhelm said, as he patted the shoulder of Theodora. “I hope this brief answer is enough for your inquiry. If not, you are welcomed to ask more question, which we will be more than happy to answer.”

Of course we understood that you had genetic modification but not exactly why and to what exact extent. The Confederacy is very against genetic modification in any large form. it is a highly regulated science that is limited to medical research, anything further is considered highly illegal with punishment of permanent incarceration. I admire your pursuit of science but do not share it, our people do not participate in such genetic practices for a reason. We feel that once you begin that path it blurs the lines of what is and is not an intelligent and worth creature to live, what is truly intelligent and what isn't more or less."
The ambassador paused and began again, "I must say though this should not hinder any relations with the Confederacy, our beliefs and yours though contradictory have no need to clash, people respect each others decisions in the Confederacy, we respect yours. Is there anything at all you need to ask of me? It would be my privilege to answer any further questions before a more experienced emissary replaces me. I assume you are following our ship to Osu as mentioned?"

"Of course, instead of what is different between us, we should focus more on what is common between our people." Vilhelm nodded and smiled, as he realised that perusing on the topic of genetic engineering would not be a very good idea, given the vast difference of attitude concerning the subject. However, as long as they do not insist on such differences, it should not be too difficult to forge a friendship between the two people.
"Well, we still need some time to fully analyse the information pack we received from your people, and to construct a more... accurate translation algorithm between our languages. Therefore, I believe that we can save our conversation until a more official meeting. Of course, we will follow your ship." Vilhelm pondered for a while, before answering the alien. "There is one thing that we are interested, though, and if it would not hinder your further action, we would be grateful to receive your answer. It seems that your people have a strong focus on philosophy, if we are not mistaken. We would like to know about how your people perceive the issues of mortality, such as life and death, as well as issues in between?"

The ambassador respectfully responded, "Of course, we fully understand you will take time to translate to a better extent. As for the question you have chosen to ask we indeed do, to not question what science cannot answer is to leave a great hole in our knowledge, we seek to rectify that hole constantly. As for the issues of mortality and death this is a subject that Ofla and Huari vary greatly on. You see the Ofla believe that all creatures share an essence and only have their part for a time. The Ofla believe that this essence is constantly growing as more and more creatures exist in the universe. It is Ofla belief that this essence is crucial to maintaining the universe, and without creatures, life, nature everything would fall in on itself. The Ofla believe that once a creature died its essence blends with the greater essence, and they live forever as an aspect of a single great mind." The ambassador stopped for a moment and continued, "Now as another thing the Ofla believe that is a creature is treated well its essence will be stronger and when it dies will contribute far more to the universal essence. This is a belief that has prevented expansion to planets by the Confederacy up until now. Lately there has been a concession simply to avoid the rampant overpopulation on the home worlds."
The ambassador spoke again, "The Huari believe that every sentient creature has an individual soul, and that this soul upon the creatures death will be carried to another plane of existence where the creature will live another life. The Huari believe that this happens forever and a single soul lives and dies in cycles forever as it becomes more and more pure and wise. A much less complex belief than that of the Ofla but one that most Huari hold onto extremely close."
The ambassador finished, "Is there anything else you would like to know before we arrive shortly?"
