Human beings come in contact with Aliens for the first time in the year of 4000. The contact happens in deep space, where humans are exploring the moons of Jupiter. They come across an alien spaceship drifting in the deep space. On an initial examination, the ship seems to be lifeless. So they decide to do further examination. The astronauts tow the ship and park it in orbit of Jupiter. It takes them about 5 years to actually be able to enter the ship safely. It takes all this time to scan the ship for the alien life forms. Finally, no sign of life is discovered on the ship. The Alien astronauts seem to have died in an exposure to gamma rays while traveling in deep space. The life form seems to be based upon Silicon instead of Carbon. It seems that the alien life form is about as advanced as Humans. It will take another 200 years to actually know from where it came. The news sent shockwaves to all the colonies on Mars, Moon and Earth. Probes are sent in deep space in all directions, to find out from where the alien ship came.
