No. I'm not boarding a craft as an introduction.
When I approach a cat on the street I sit down so I don't seem so threatening. I smile, make no sudden movements, say hello, then reach out a hand and let her come to me. I don't show up in a mile long mega-ship and loudly shout "HEY KITTY!!!!!! WANNA COME HERE SO I CAN PET YOU!?!?!?!?"

I would like to be asked, with all the freedoms that a request for permission imply -- that is...... I would have the right to refuse.

If I were asked telepathically, I'd agree to a DAYLIGHT meeting.... (I am a primitive creature, and odd things at night are far more offputting than the same phenomena in the light).

Then, if mutually agreeable, we'd have a face-to-whatever-they-have meeting, on my own turf. This would likely establish a basis for mutual trust, as they would have to trust my word that I have no intentions of harming them, and they have no intention of harming me. They have the technological advantage, so it would be only fair that they agree to meet on my own turf, where I might have a slight advantage.

A discussion would follow, outlining their intentions and motivations. My Bride and Kitteh would have to be included if it were agreed upon that I would travel with them.

I would have to make it clear to them that I don't feel that any one human can represent the whole of humanity -- our diversity of thought and ideals are simply to great.

If they insisted that I was "the one", I would have to decline, even if that meant that someone I considered to be a worse choice took the helm.

I would try to convince them that a quorum, representative of all humanity and culture be convened. I would want the other life on Earth to be represented, as well, for they (the other life) have an equal right and value upon this predomiantly blue globe we live on.

Finally, we would secure the right to return to our pre-ET lives if we chose.

I'd like to think that m'Bride and I would do everything in our power, including but not limited to sacrificing ourselves and lives, to benefit the peoples and creatures of Earth, if that were within our abilities. I'm a simple person. I don't trust easily, and ET's presumed behaviors haven't don't anything to alleviate that. It would be an uphill battle for all of us.
Pretty to think about. Interesting thread.
