| Description | Resolution | ||
| We are in a position to begin the first, and probably easier, of our two courses of action; negotiation with the aliens. Note that "easier" does not mean "easy." | The exodus from our faction has brought some unexpected benefits. We now have ex-members spread throughout both pro- and anti-alien groups, and some are still sympathetic enough to our cause that they are willing to listen. A group within the Servants has supplied us with some records of their own meetings with the aliens, and has detailed their methods to contact them directly. Now that we have opened a channel, we have a new problem. We have absolutely no idea what the aliens are saying. | ||

| Description | Resolution | ||
| The time has come to open up diplomatic relations with our alien visitors. We have assembled a full delegation of diplomats, speakers, and negotiators with backgrounds in conflict resolution. The members of our delegation have been preparing their presentation, with an emphasis on our desire for a peaceful settlement and the benefits our faction could bring. We must show the aliens that not all humans are like Humanity First. Our most recent message indicates that the aliens are willing to speak to us. All that remains is to open contact. |
We are still piecing together what happened. All accounts agree that our delegation arrived at the meeting point and secured the area without incident. The alien representatives then appeared and our delegation began their presentation ... and that was when everything went wrong. It seems that some of the more fanciful rumors about our alien visitors were not fabrications. Their ability to exercise influence over nearby humans is more extensive than we expected, and apparently, when they met with our delegation, they proceeded to do so. Some members of our delegation reacted ... very badly. Many attempted to flee or break off the negotiations. We're not sure who fired first. The casualty list is appalling. Some of these are people who were with us from the very beginning. They were good people, devoted to the cause of peace. How could this have happened? There is one small shred of good news from this catastrophe. The aliens seem unconcerned by these events; they have given us teaching devices designed to help us to understand their language, and are willing to establish full diplomatic relations once we succeed. The tone of their messages almost implies that they view our casualties as an irrelevance, though that must surely be a miscommunication. But in the meantime, the worst is yet to come. Some of the members of our delegation who fled the meeting have not returned. If they release an account (or worse, recordings) of the events at the meeting, it will be a public relations catastrophe. Our enemies will pounce on the story and will claim that it proves they were right all along. The Council has unanimously voted to find our missing members and bring them home. I pray that they will come voluntarily. | ||

| Commissioner, our first attempt at contacting the Aliens did not go smoothly, but we have obtained a device that will teach us their language. | |||

| Description | Resolution | ||
| It is time to meet with the emissaries. Should I not return, it will fall to you to continue our work. | I have returned. The experience was ... hard to describe. Being in their presence was very different to my visions. I gained no enlightenment, saw no great truth. What I felt instead was an overpowering sense of sympathy, of identification. I was constantly alert to the smallest movements and signals from the emissaries, and when they paused or deliberated I felt a terrible fear that I had offended or failed them in some way. When they gave an order, I jumped eagerly to obey. There was no hesitation, no questioning. It was the single-minded purpose of a trained soldier, or of a mother with her child. Once I had left their presence, I withdrew to meditate. I could feel the urge to carry out their orders, to follow every direction, but another part of me understood that I needed to recenter myself. Gradually, as if from a dream, I awoke. The loyalty, the devotion ... all of those stayed. But I could think clearly again. The reactions of the others who accompanied me are more varied. Some are still attempting to fulfill every last order they were given, no matter how trivial: once they have completed their instructions, they stare vacantly until prompted. Others, though, seem to retain more of their sense of self. I believe that the alien influence acts as a test, of sorts. Some have their minds overwhelmed with the desire to serve. But those who already loved the emissaries, who were already devoted to them, can retain their own identity, since for them, there is no conflict. I would like to rest, but there is too much to do. First and foremost, we must come to learn the language of the emissaries, so that we may better serve. | ||
