"Unidentified Starship, please identify yourself."
There was a long pause, then a voice replied over a very low radio band, sounding like they were speaking Galactic Standard for the first time ever.
"Us...come in [meaning permission to enter a location] no conflict."
I glanced at the clock, annoyed that I couldn't claim I didn't have time before my end of shift.
"First contact, very well. Please allow the drone to access your databank to translate."
No idea if they understood me, but when I sent the drone out they fired on it.
Which was good, the destruction paperwork's much lighter.
