[ 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 .

The conference room was lined with seven seats, one for each member of council. Behind them stood a secondary representative wearing a large headset. Universal translators, so that no member found it difficult to raise their concerns. Not only did these headsets decipher language, but also cultural and social cues that would be unfamiliar to other humanoids with differing organic extremities. 
 
 
 The Alpha Prime member began the conference. `` We welcome the Human species from the planet Earth to our Council. We are determined to understand and bond with you as this meeting moves forward.'' 
 
 
 A smaller humanoid, furry with pointed ears, punctuated this point with his snout. Barks and gnashes were spoke, and translated. `` We do have a few questions regarding the technological progression of your species.'' 
 
 
 Looking to the next member, the aquamarine blue dragon spoke next. `` You have failed to transform atomic energy into a sustainable and endless form of energy. As the next step would have been to create a fusion source, we are perplexed with your use of nuclear energy as a conflict deterrent.'' 
 
 
 The next member spoke. `` Furthermore, the fact that velcro did not immediately solve footwear issues is beyond us. Many of your inhabitants lack the necessary goods and foodstuffs to survive, using shoes made from twigs or things that require lacing.'' 
 
 
 The last one to speak with an ewok sized lizard. Slithering tongue, he made note of their most immediate concern. `` What worries us most however,'' his tongue snaked out at the human representative, `` Is that you have passed over this beverage known as whiskey, is the main cure for cancer!''
