April 5th, First Conact Day

[Saria Rex 1]

Well, today in the Star Trek franchise, everyone would be celebrating First Contact Day. So happy First Contact Day everyone!

There are some great events in STO today for those that play. You can visit Utopia Planetia today until April 9 th.

What does one do on First Contact Day? I'm quite curious.

[Nathan Baker 42]

Just celebrate Humanity's first contact with an extraterrestrial race (in this case, the Vulcans). I'm sure folks around the Federation have parties. I'm sure some overzealous Humans try to get their Vulcan friends to dance with less-than-enthusiastic responses.

Today there are events in the world of STO, one is that you will be able to have a chat session with the Executive Producer of the game to find out what is being done to improve it and find out if the ideas that the fans will be or have been integrated into the game. There is a new mission for the Klingons that is being introduced.

@Nathan, that sounds fun.(Not a Vulcan that's snobby.) I'd be one that would actually join in and dance. It's a part of the the culture. It'd be quite rude to not accept a request to dance. Where is the "juke box" and I'll..uhh.. time to " Get down and bogey". :-)

I'm sure Roy Orbison's "Ooby Dooby" has a nice safe spot in history as the first human song the Vulcan's were treated to after their official arrival.

[T'Mihn 332]

LOL whatever an Obby Dooby is. I wouldn't doubt other was heard via regular radio signals. Earth is a very noisey world,so they'd hear a LOT of it from all the nations,and the TV shows.

"Obby Dobby " is a fun one to dance to. I'm surprised Queen didn't make an appearance. :-)

I'll bet schoolchildren reenact the event in a (US) Thanksgiving-style pageant.

[T'Mihn 332]

Maybe..dancing the day away sounds fun.

They'd probably just play rock and roll everywhere (Oobie Doobie, as mentioned, but als Magic Carpet Ride I bet) and sell cheese pierogies (Cochrane's favorite food) in all snackbars.

Those pierogies, good stuff. A Polish creation.
