Would you go?


Aliens from beyond the moon appear and make contact with Earth

"Greetings Earthicans! We are travelers from the distant galaxy of Yuria! We hail you in peaceful tidings. " they say

They explain that they are an deep space charting vessel mapping the universe and not suited for a real first contact so they're going to return to their planet and arrange a proper envoy.

However they say they're happy to take any humans who want to come to their world with them if there are any volunteers to expedite communications.

The issue is It's going to take them over 17 Earth years to get home (They don't age and will live forever unless they are killed. Some are millions of years old)

Then once home they'll arrange a proper first contact envoy fleet with food, medical supplies, teachers/scientists etc which will take another 10-30 years of preparation.

And even if you get in on that, it'd still be 17 years back to Earth. So minimum of approx 45-65 years before you could ever return even if you wanted too.

It's the literal once in your lifetime chance to visit and explore alien worlds

But you'd have to give everything up for that chance and leave your whole life behind as you stride into unforeseen consequences.

How do you react?
Would you go?

Any aliens on the ship interesting in dating a human?

Any language barriers?

Any chance they can extend my life so I can help them make first contact when they return to Earth? (34 years is a long time.)

Can I take my pets?

Is it just one species or multiple intelligent species?

If I can take my wife and cat and make sure we have food and stuff, sure! Sounds fun.

You don't know


Any language barriers?

You can't comprehend their methods of communication but they've translated human languages and can talk to you


Any chance they can extend my life so I can help them make first contact when they return to Earth? (34 years is a long time.)

No. You're still you.



Can I take my pets?

Yes


Is it just one species or multiple intelligent species?

On the ship just 1 but they have met several other alien races. Humans are not interesting or important

I would need to take a tour of the ship first. Basically see if any of them are hot or if they at least have some super VR technology.

If not then they can go fuck themselves.

I would have to know if my life would be endanger our not and some form of entertainment. What kind of laws do they have there? What do they consider entertainment? Then if their food is edible and/or looks edible? Would have to be able to get some info on what to expect going to another planet.

But I would want to go. The possibility of what their culture is like would be astounding. What do their cities look like? What kind of music do they listen toom do they listen to music? So many questions.

The only way to find out is going there though. cause those of us left wont be able to get any info for years as well. So if I dont go, I will have never experienced another cultural life form. I think I would stay here because it would be such a toss up without more info of what I'm walking into. Could be the most awesome experience ever though.

By your logic if 3 guys on a fishing boat found an country full of dogs, they wouldn't need to go home to properly care for them

Nope. 17 years of just traveling sounds boring as hell. And that nope turns into a hell no, seeing that they look like Malboros.
