[ WP ] Earth is discovered by a peaceful coalition of civilizations . Turns out we missed several major technologies normally developed by now . The aliens are very confused how we got here .

a'Kna Escu! h III, Galactic Ambassador to the Scunarian Sentients, pursed her *gnyrxs* in frustration. She had heard that this civilization was backwards, but it was only now that she had begun to understand. 
 
 She clicked and clacked her *snkths*, whilst her real-time translator interpreted her movements. `` But how did you get here if you do not have Paradox Engines and *untranslatable concept*, as well as mastery of nuclear reactions?'' 
 
 The Ambassador to the Galactic Empire, some bizarre bipedal with monstrous fur sticking out of its head in multiple ways, garbled somehting at her, whilst her translator interpreted. `` I'm sorry, a Paradox Engine? I'm not sure I understand. Is that something like our Electromagnetic Motion drive, that seems to violate the Laws of *untranslatable concept*? That is, the law of Convervation of energy. I hope that gets translated properly.'' 
 
... And *now* she understood how they'd got here. She was just bamboozled by the manner in which this species had both become space-faring and managed to traverse the Hypergrid. After all, they were missing the voidspace technology that allowed them to do so. But, she was advised, they had managed to break the laws of the universe in doing so. She thought, her *gnyrxs* twitching whilst she tried adapting her thinking, her febrile wings spinning in circles. 
 
 She spoke again. `` Well, you know about the'space that is no space', right?'' The Ambassador nodded. `` We traveled here through that in the space of a week on our ship. I'm sure your Science-Men would like to take a look at this.'' 
 
 She listened to the translation, fascinated by the horrible noise coming out of the bipedal's mouth. `` Well, yes, of course. I would also like to share with you our technologies regarding inter-galactic travel. I'll arrange for our astronometrics teams to speak with your teams.'' 
 
 She nodded, wings twitching. `` And as for that messy thing you call'birth', how do your females cope without *untranslatable concept* and carrying their progeny? What do you do if there are complications?'' 
 
 The bipedal Ambassador shrugged. `` We have specialist doctors who deal with this. They are experts, and we have managed to get out planetary death-rate down to just 0.1 %.'' 
 
 a'Kna was stunned to hear of such a high progenitor death-rate. It literally did n't compute that suxch a society could exist. It defied belief in the Divine Queens that a so-called enlightened society could shrug off losing children. 
 
 She *had* to report this back. 
 
 EDIT: Me can wurd god - i.e. I've made a basic spelling and grammar check on this. Working on Part 2 after real-life stuff.
