When did humanity make first contact with aliens in the alternate realities represented here?

[Filtered to Infirmary Staff; visible to Ariadne]

Is it necessary to move someone in a coma to the infirmary?

Is there any resistance?

[truth_is_cold]

There was. I was part of the Commonwealth and helped my people dismantle it from within. Besides the Magog, that was the first resistance the Commonwealth encountered in a millennia.

[resultofwar]

Are you a warden or inmate?

[Because it sounds like you had a similar job to his. :|]

[Private]

[truth_is_cold]

Inmate. [Which he's in the "This is unfair!" club.] And you?

[Private]

[resultofwar]

[It's the best club.] Inmate. Was your attempt to dismantle it successful?

[Private]

[truth_is_cold]

It was. [His people just failed him afterward.] I was not expecting to return from the final mission, and I was correct. Now I'm here.

[Private]

[resultofwar]

Do you regret any of it? [He might, if poked, actually tell you about himself, Rhade. :|a]

[Private]

[truth_is_cold]

One part. I had a friend. I was supposed to be the best man at his wedding. He was the captain of the ship I served on, and I was his first officer.

[As he can probably surmise, that turned out filled with lots of suck.]

Are you familiar with space travel and aliens, or passing curiosity?

[Private]

[resultofwar]

Space travel, yes. We haven't made first contact yet.

Are you specifically searching for alien life or is there some concern you may encounter it?
