Picture it. Decades after the world is saved, a huge alien spacecraft touches down on earth.

Scientist, politicians, and thousands of reporters gather to witness the aliens disembark the ship. A group of boulder-like creatures, clicking and whistling to the humans around them.

One of them raises something large and metallic towards the crowd.

There's an immediate recoil of fear (is it a weapon?!) before the audience realises it's human technology. A laptop, old and beaten and looks like it was put back together by a drunk.

The alien presses a button.

"Hello Earth, this is Doctor Captain Ryland Grace. These guys are Eridians and they're here on a shopping trip. I have a list and no money, but I did save the world so that has to count for something. Number one, salt and vinegar chips. Actually anything potato. Number two, I miss apple juice. Number three,"

I'm looking SO intently the Salvastra Mission AU‼️ I wanna know all the nitty-gritty logistics of it soooo bad. Communication between Erid and Earth would be borderline impossible, and even if they did manage it, a conversation between the two would take several human lifetimes! Did earth just send a bunch of messages in various ways saying "Hey, we are gonna send some people over. Please don't kill them. We love you" and then launch the crew into space (seriously, imagine the anxiety over arriving at this alien planet only to find out they wont welcome you... ough).

I kinda like to imagine humanity had the same sort of desperation to get in contact with the Eridians as they did to save their planet. They finally got confirmation they were not alone in the universe and scrapped together a dangerous, possibly lifelong mission just to see them...

I already explained in other post that “salvastra” is kind of a pun, “salve astra” means “hello star” but salve/salvar means “save” in mine and a few other languages, so salvastra has a sorta double meaning - save star/hello star(eridani) since they werent sure what to expect.

Because like you said, communication between Arid and Earth is borderline impossible.

When the beatles came back to earth, humanity had NO idea if rocky and grace made it to Erid. They figured the taumoeba worked (-maybe a bit TOO well considering the leaks) but not if it ever made it to the other planet. They knew grace didn't have enough food for the trip, they knew Erid had already passed their 70 year threshold for rocky's mission to return, and they knew there was a whole planet, a planet full of life (intelligente life at that- friendly, intelligent life- neighboors, finally.) posibly going throught the same thing they've been going throught for the past 29 years. Humanity could have sent a probe, but that risked the taumoeba dying en route, and if they were already going through the trouble of sending people- why not their best people? The salvastra is a sort of life-long mission for the crew, not because they arent expected to come back, but just because of the length of it, at least 30 years will have passed on earth when they come back, they're dedicating their entire lives to meet their neighbors make sure their make it too
