So the Secretary General of the United Nations comes out in a worldwide press conference and says, "Remember those aliens we told you didn't exist? We've been talking to them since 1945. They're peaceful and will be colonizing Mars (or Venus, or some moon around a gas giant or Sedna, it doesn't matter which)."

How would you feel about a peaceful, but obviously superior alien race colonizing a planet or a moon (not ours) in our solar system?

I don't believe it matters how we feel about it the question is can we do anything about it.

That's probably a resounding no so I guess we take our feels and fuck right off.

The Secretary General of the UN is perhaps the last person I'd trust, so I'd be awfully skeptical.  I'd bet the aliens would be here for one bad reason or another.

So , let's assume they are on Io. They made it here from another solar system so travelling to Earth is no big deal. A short commute.

This.  I'd be looking to join a group to exterminate them.  Mars, whatever, all belongs to us.

Peaceful now does not mean peaceful later and you'll have to prove to me they are "superior" by warfare.  

Also if they are abducting us and probing us, I'd like some payback.

What kind of alien?

Vulcans?  Romulans?  Gammoreans?  Zentradi?  Slugs from the Puppet Masters?  Pakleds?  Yautja?  Monoliths?  Ewoks?  Nordics?  Grays?  Reptilians?  Protoss?  Elowan?  Velox?  Kilrathi?  Gorn?  Triceratons?

Gotta be more specific.

I would hope they were benign and not so intelligent that we couldn’t relate to them.

Then I would want off this planet.

The Secretary General of the UN only has the power that the security council grants him.  Plus he has zero intelligence gathering capability. He relies on what the member nations feed him.  He won’t be the one to spill the beans as he won’t know shit about it.

Now if the POTUS told us…. Well cool.

I'd question their "peaceful" claim.

If you have the tech to travel the distances involved, there are no doubt near infinite systems within their reach. Why move in to an already inhabited one?

If they can reach another solar system, they can destroy planets. The tech requires to do each is basically identical.

In fact, destroying a planet in another system requires lower tech than sending a crew to one.

I have been in this situation many times before in stellaris

Being the fanatical xenophile spiritualist alien fuckers that I play roaming the galaxy after a while I can say earth would just be integrated after a time.

It's the hive minds, machine intelligences, fanatical xeno purifiers, interdimensional beings and the sleeping monsters that hide between galaxys that you need to really worry about.

Some of them are pretty adorable though, if unforgivable evil.

Not necessarily.

The Road Not Taken by Harry Turtledove.  Second link is a pdf to the short story.

How they reach another system is the question.

Far more likely to end up subservient to something like the Krolp as in Vilcabamba.

Or just obliterated without even knowing why like The Killing Star.
