[X] Plan: Easy as One Two Three... Fourteen? The Fourteen Points?!
-[X] 1) The Geller Field: That there are ways to reduce the risks of traveling between the Stars, and that many species have discovered them. However, that there is no such thing as total safety. The Warp is dangerous.
-[X] 2) The Warp. That the warp as beings in it, including beings of the Warp, and four Ways of its Corruption attached to powerful dark beings who feed on the evil in hearts. One that feeds on manipulation and lies, one on rage and hate, one on hopelessness, despair, and disease, and one on excess and cruel decadence. Be wary for these enemies may corrupt good people and you should watch your society for organizations of Schemers, Plaguebearers, Obsessionists or Bloodthirsty Monsters. Compare it to an illness of the mind, heart and soul, as well as the body, and acknowledge that major disasters on their planet may be the Warp.
-[X] 3) The Imperium of Mankind: A government flawed and evil, which has dominated much of the galaxy but not all of it, and which has withdrawn from this region. Make it clear that some in the Glittering Federation were of the Imperium, but are no longer, having been abandoned to die--those who show no kindness and mercy to those they deem enemies rarely have kindness or mercy to the innocent on their own "side."
-[X] 4) The Glittering Federation: A government of and by the people, which has included even non-Humans as part of the Protectorate or, in the case of the Kil'drabi, as Kin. The basic categories and priorities, focusing especially on the moral and ethical.
-[X] 5) The Kil'drabi: A full accounting of their story so as to illustrate the character of the Federation, their character and the Five Ranks that have been recently qualified.
-[X] 6) The Star Child: the five-fold religion, proselytizing it with vigor but making it very clear that you shall not be trying to force them to convert at this moment. (Leave out the fact that you're not necessarily religiously opposed to Forced Conversion, this is diplomacy.) Create an account of at least the generalities of the religion. Give it your best pitch.
-[X] 7) The Orks and other beings: Being a brief enumeration of the dangers of the Orks that caused the Imperium's retreat, and how those Left Behind righteously battled to save the innocent from destruction, and how these battles have ultimately saved tens of millions if not more, and how they are ongoing but the region is partially secure from Orks. Make it clear that this is the situation that led to leaving them be after the incident involving suspected attack, and that it is only now moving towards one stage of resolution.
-[X] 8) Elder: They exist. Say little else. Say they would probably prefer not to be disturbed.
-[X] 9) Problems: Ask about problems they've been having, especially in light of the Information with the Warp. Offer to potentially send Psykana to scan for them, and investigators, should they ask for help. Make it clear this is not a demand, and refusal will be accepted.
-[X] 10) Refusal: If they refuse, give them at least a bit of basic information to help them find problems.
-[X] 11) Psykana: Explain what Psykers are and aren't. Simple terms. Very basic.
-[X] 12) Trade of Information: Reveal the Five-Fold points and propose a trade. Information on the Geller Field, therefore making all parties safer, in exchange for information on culture, music, the religions of the people of this system, dead languages, historical information, etc, etc: both parties will therefore expand their galaxy! (Also let us look for signs of Chaos.)
--[X] Little did the negotiators know it was a vile trap!
---[X] For one of the music genres shared by the new species would turn out to be incredibly popular among the youths, and one day, a mere decade or two later, their own children would call them lame, square, and boring for thinking that the latest music fad sounds like just noise. Even when they go, "I negotiated for that!" their children will just roll their eyes and say, "Ok, Parent."
-[X] 13) Status: Offer and explain both Neutrality and Protectorate status, and leave it to them to decide or to counteroffer.
-[X] 14) Inquiry: Ask of their government, way of life, culture, music, science, etc, etc. Send messages back to the educated of the Federation, and no doubt they will have more. Or requests to send crazy academics to study an entirely new people, etc, etc!
As always, open for suggestions.
