Meeting Aliens

Cochrane log
I am on my way to Vulcan to meet Ambassador Serek to discuss relations with new extra terrestrial life forms which would coincide with human travels through space.

Zefram Cochrane and Serek

Cochrane: So how do you propose we should meet aliens and be on good relations with them?

Serek: We always have been as unimposing as possible in our meeting with aliens, and have been content in our staying on Vulcan as well.

Cochrane: But isn't the fact that you travel to other planets an imposition in itself?

Serek: This may be true, but if we surmise this, we vacate as quickly as possible.

These First Contacts are not always successful as you see. True there is much risk, but nothing ventured nothing gained, as your people say.

Cochrane: So you admit there is some risk? Curious.

Serek: There is risk in everything. It is a fact of life.

Cochrane: So humans are taking many risks in our new treks through the stars.

Serek: I beleive it is totally worth it.

Cochrane: I thought Vulcans didn't show emotions: that is the second time that you said something based off emotions.

Serek: Want to get back on the issue.

Cochrane: ok.

Serek: In order to have peaceful relations with said aliens, being at peace with yourself helps a great deal.

Cochrane: Oh, I see.

Serek: The contact mirrors you. So in effect you control the First Contact.
