On the opposite end, the scientists monitoring the new solar system noticed the presence of envoys from other civilizations gathered at the border of the newbie protection barrier.
They quickly reported this information to the government, as the appearance of envoys from other civilizations was unusual and potentially a cause for concern.
The collective board, formed by the governments of all countries, convened an emergency meeting to discuss the situation at hand. With the presence of envoys from other civilizations observed at the boundary of the new solar system, the issue of how to proceed had become paramount.
The board members gathered around the table, their faces serious and focused, as they prepared to tackle the challenges that lay ahead.
"We are gathered here to address a matter of grave concern," the board chairperson began, addressing the room. "Our scientists have reported the presence of envoys from other civilizations at the boundary of the new solar system. What should be our next steps?"
An intense silence fell over the room as everyone considered the question. Each government representative weighed their options, factoring in their own nation's interests and resources.
After several moments, the representative from a influential country spoke up. "We need to establish communication with them," he said firmly. "We can't have other civilizations potentially encroaching on our territory without understanding their intentions."
The suggestion to establish communication sparked a lively debate among the board members. Some argued that it would be unwise to initiate contact without knowing more about the newcomers, fearing that they may pose a threat. Others countered that communication was essential to avoid any misunderstandings and potential conflicts.
The discussion grew heated as each representative expressed their opinions and concerns. As the debate continued, a more cautious representative interjected.
"While communication is important, we shouldn't forget that as a new civilization our solar system is still shielded by the protection period. We need to be patient and wait for the barrier to drop before making any moves," she said.
The suggestion to wait and observe further for the barrier to drop was met with nods of agreement from some of the representatives. They saw the wisdom in biding their time and gaining more information before taking decisive action.
Others, however, were eager to make their presence known and establish early contact. They argued that waiting would only give the newcomers more time to prepare and potentially gain an advantage over them.
Then someone said "Lets send a diplomatic team to communicate with them. It will show our sincerity. We can start holographic communication if needed later."
The proposal to send a diplomatic team to engage in initial communication with the envoys outside the barrier was agreed upon by most of the representatives. They believed that this approach would demonstrate their sincerity and willingness to engage in peaceful interactions.
"That sounds like a reasonable plan," the chairperson said. "We will send a diplomatic team to interact with the envoys and gather information about their civilization."
Then someone commented "Sending diplomatic team out will endanger their lives."
The possibility of endangering the lives of the diplomatic team was raised as a concern by one of the representatives. It was true that venturing outside the barrier would expose them to unknown risks and potential dangers.
The board members considered this issue, balancing the need for information against the danger posed to their representatives. Some proposed additional security measures, such as escorts and technological protections, to increase safety.
Then some said "Its no use. They are standing in space without any protective equipments, so their levels should be high enough to ignore any protective measures we use. Right now only system barrier can protect us.
"True," the chairperson conceded. "Our standard protective measures may not offer much protection against individuals at such a high level. The newbie protection barrier is our strongest defense."
The board members nodded in agreement, acknowledging the limited resources they had against such formidable opponents. The discussion shifted to finding alternative strategies to gather information without putting their diplomatic team in direct danger.
Then someone suggested "Why don't we tell our diplomats everything and let them volunteer. Only those who volunteer will go."
The idea to involve volunteer diplomats in the communication mission was put forward. This approach would allow those who were willing to take on the risk with full awareness of the potential dangers.
The board considered this proposal, acknowledging that it would allow for a more willing and informed diplomatic team.
"That could work," one member said. "By allowing a volunteer diplomatic team, we can ensure that those going understand the risks involved."
There were murmurs of agreement among the board members, recognizing the importance of informed consent for the diplomatic team. The chairperson nodded, considering the proposition.
"We will proceed with a volunteer-based diplomatic team," the chairperson announced. "We will communicate the risks and the importance of this mission to our diplomats, allowing them to make an informed choice about whether to participate."
The board then began the process of identifying potential volunteer diplomats, considering factors like their skillsets, experiences, and willingness to face the unknown. Once the volunteers were chosen, they would board a spaceship scientists had made to go for the communication mission.
After choosing potential volunteer diplomats, the board moved on to discussing the details of the communication strategy. It was agreed that the primary goal of the mission should be to gather information and establish initial contact, rather than engaging in immediate negotiations.
"The volunteers should focus on learning about the civilization that the envoys belong to," the chairperson said. "They should inquire about the history, technology, culture, and motives of the civilization."
Then someone said "There is a problem with the plan"
A concerned voice spoke up, bringing attention to an issue with the plan that had been formed. The board members turned their gazes towards the person who had raised the concern, waiting to hear their thoughts.
He continued "Space don't conduct sound so our diplomats will need to allows them to board the spaceship."
A critical issue was raised by one of the board members—the fact that sound does not travel in the vacuum of space, meaning traditional communication would not be possible without special accommodations for the diplomatic team.
"That's a valid point," the chairperson acknowledged. "We need to ensure that our diplomats can communicate effectively with the envoys they will encounter. How can we address this issue?"
The only solution is to have the envoys board the spaceship. Or maybe they will have some other method.
The board members discussed potential solutions to the communication challenge posed by the lack of sound transmission in space. One proposal was to invite the envoys to board the diplomatic team's spaceship, allowing for direct communication.
Another member suggested, "Maybe they have a method we're unaware of. It's possible they possess technology or abilities that can facilitate communication in the vacuum of space."
Then someone said "We will know when our diplomats reach them. Lets give them authority to talk whatever they see fit according to situation except allowing them to enter barrier."
It was proposed to grant the volunteer diplomats some decision-making power during their mission, but within certain parameters.
"That could work," the chairperson said. "We can give them the authority to communicate and gather information as necessary, but we will set some ground rules to ensure they don't take any risky actions like inviting unapproved individuals through the barrier."
The board agreed on setting clear guidelines for the volunteer diplomats, emphasizing the importance of gathering information and establishing communication without compromising the safety of their civilization.
"Our diplomats will have discretion in their interactions with the envoys, so long as they abide by the guidelines we have put in place," the chairperson reaffirmed.
With the plan set in motion, a team of volunteer diplomats prepared to embark on their crucial mission. They boarded a special spaceship designed by scientists for this purpose, their hearts filled with anticipation and determination.
As they ventured out into space, the diplomats approached the envoys, their eyes fixed on the mysterious group standing in the vacuum of space without protective gear.
The diplomatic team observed the envoys through their spaceship's windows, their hearts pounding with curiosity and a touch of unease. As they drew closer, the envoys' imposing figures grew larger in their view.
The diplomats could see the envoys standing effortlessly in space, their bodies seemingly unaffected by the lack of atmosphere or pressure. They appeared calm and composed, as if they were accustomed to the seemingly impossible environment.
The spaceship passed through the barrier, its systems momentarily adjusting to the unique energy field that surrounded it. As they emerged on the other side, the diplomatic team found themselves face-to-face with the envoys.
The diplomats, still inside their spaceship, watched the envoys through the observation windows, taking in the otherworldly sight before them.
