Situation:

You've been assigned by NASA to explore an uncharted planet, for a purpose of knowing it's scientific data, plant a flag, collect rocks and play golf. As you step out of your module to plant your flag, you're surprised to see intelligent life forms that can actually speak and drive cars. The aliens, seeing that they've encountered an alien, are surpised. Others call for help, yelling that they've been invaded by mind-controlling aliens and such. Others became curious of you.

Question:

What would you do? Will you do the same as the inhabitants of that planet? Or would you do the "diplomatic" approach?

(Note: Yes, I got this from Planet 51)

I'd probably just try to take loads of pictures of them, balls to the mission, we just found cold hard proof of aliens! Besides, diplomacy wouldn't work, they would speak a completely different language, presuming they even communicate with sound. Although after (or possibly before) all the photo taking, I'd try to contact Earth to tell them the good news, although knowing us humans, we'd ignore the fact that possible alien abductions cause panic and hysteria, and NASA would probably tell me to try and capture one of the natives.
In my pants!

Immediately return to base and report my finding, and let the governments of Earth do what they will, unless I am in the appropriate type of vessel whereby I would indeed go diplomatic and return home with dignitaries, but we don't have such transports in space yet and I assume this hypoethetical situation concerns the present day.
So I'll make no action in regards to the aliens besides capturing them on some sort of video or photos, just so no one thinks I've gone insane from so many years alone in a metal/ceramic box.

I'd take pictures, go back and tell NASA the news. I mean, I found aliens! Even though no one would believe that, it would open up many opportunities for us.
Welcome to GreenStorm's Signature Playthrough!

In my signature, I will play a Pokémon game and let you decide on the action! The current decision is:



Bulbasaur, Squirtle, or Charmander? PM me with your choice and check out the blog as well!

Planet 51 all over again. I did not enjoy the movie. Terrible, no creativity.

If they were sufficiently technologically backwards, I'd wow them all with my advanced technology (Ipod, Mobile Phone, Laptop and such), and proclaim begin to take over the planet by using Science as a Religious tool. Just like Isaac Asimov's Foundation.

If however, they were technologically advanced, and could communicate with us, I'd propose an Alliance, or I'd grovel depending on their technology status.

If the aliens are like primitive and not really driving cars or stuff. Just appear primitive like in the 1700's, I'll take a few photos and report to Houston quickly

If they have cool cars or flying spaceships. Then they have nukes...

Invite one of them to go back to Earth as me while telling the news to home, and I take his/her place on that planet. If they are more technologically advanced than us, that is. Heck, if they are more technologically advanced, why is it that we discover them and not the other way round?

I'd hope they're not like Alien vs Predator crap. Though I'd take pictures and leave. I wouldn't risk it knowing their technology and the fact that they don't know me and might consider me a threat.

stay there and let the experiments, if any, commence. If not, i'd try to become a pet or something, i'd try to become a part of society in some form, presuming they have advanced tech. otherwise its back to the good spacecraft Prometheus (i decided that if i ever had a spaceship, i'd name it that. Come on! i was like 6!).
