[EU] Between the mi-go, the deep ones, the ghouls, the serpent-folk, the tcho-tchos and whatever else investigators have found, the earth is apparently full of non-human sentient species. You have been chosen for the perhaps unenviable job of extending the olive branch to them.

[WP] In the far future, humanity spreads throughout the galaxy, colonising world after world. However, the latest colony is running into trouble because of something commonplace to the natives but unheard of and terrifying for humans, so...wait. Something about this feels uncomfortably familiar.
