We are no longer alone

"...we entered this area by chance and luck...a place to refuel and rest; we were in awe of this stellar realm of colours and ice.

Then the sensors detected something too incredible....something was closing in, on a guided course...

It then appeared overhead, vast in every dimension....and superior in too many ways...

My God....what do we do?"

A real game changer here eh? The Kentares, like with man's vision, wanted to seek out new life, extra-terrestrial aliens, and evidence that we are no longer alone in the stars..

Now, here it is...

Okay,  here's a thing.

You are alone in interstellar space.

You are unarmed.

You have just a handful of people as your crew.

Your ship is unsophisticated.

You have no real defenses.

Your technology is primitive.

You are trapped.

The sole thing possibly saving you is the lump of stellar matter you are hiding behind.

Above is undeniable proof that there is not just intelligent extra-terrestrial life, but also that they make ships way better that you - despite its disheveled appearance.

So...what do you do?

Do you make contact hoping they are friendly?

Or stay silent in case they are not, but defeating the very principle of exploration?
