Your story
You are the grizzled pilot of the First Contact ship Vigorous Felicitation. At first, you wondered if someone was playing a really frelling elaborate prank on you. When you broke atmo on Gennai Prime, you got a text ping with landing coordinates like you would for arrival on any developed world, but looking down at the surface the only thing you saw was greenery as far as the eye could see -- no cities, a few tiny farms, and definitely no industrial districts.
Now that you've made it to the jury-rigged landing pad, you've accepted the fact that it's not a prank. They were prepared for your visit, despite the apparent lack of tech of any kind. For hork sake, they barely waited for you to turn off the engines before they started washing the ship!
It's pretty clear to you that these yokels definitely aren't ready for life on the Fleet scale. Unfortunately, you know the Captain is going to make you do this by the book, and that means some kind of ceremony before you can just hop back into your ship and get back to civilization.
Here's hoping the ceremony isn't too dull. On the other hand, that thing over there looks like some weird construction made out of scrapped thruster jets. Maybe you should hope the ceremony won't be too exciting.
Well, you won't get in the way of your precocious Captain's first mission. The kid's in charge here, after all, you're just here to advise (and drive).
Contingency: After the ceremony, you've been on a couple really frelled First Contact missions, and you've never seen anything like this. How is this possible? How do they have Fleet tech? This is so frelled, and your name is also going to be on the after action report...
Contingency: After a moment, you'll recognize that the android who grabbed and ate some of the godmeet, The Unbleeding Blasphemer, Corwyn, is a Chern Android. The only way someone from the Chern Worlds (in the Milky Way galaxy, not far from your ancestors' home worlds) could get here is as part of the Fleet!
