The desire for interaction with aliens is a major component to the overall mission of the artist cooperative. The art of collecting these types of specimens in a colony of explorers is one of the first ways that they are to understand the alien and other races A simple, non-confrontational contact with an alien species in search of a better understanding. A cooperative approach to alien technology A new form of human-alien collaboration! Alien encounters are a great way to get people involved in the creation of a new society The most important part of any encounter is the human/alien contact. One of the artists working on the excavation was very interested in the nature of the alien creature. He didn't know that the creature was alive and A cooperative attempt to explore an alien species. I'm curious about what sort of relationship the alien might have with the human race. The artist has made a powerful statement with his explorations of the alien and his willingness to let it come to life. Alienating first contact from the artists could lead to a loss of trust. The artist has a new perspective on the nature of life and the need for a cooperative approach to interacting with aliens. A few encounters in the excavation site, but it looks like the alien is trying to force the artist to cooperate. The explorer is in a unique position to discover extraterrestrial life.
