General Contact Protocols?

[Spinward Scout]

Does anyone know if any Traveller book has Contact Protocols for Alien Life? A nice list to post at the Airlock door or something.

Watching the movie Prometheus, I think one of them should be 'Don't try to pet the animals' or Sgt. Apone's order that 'Nobody touch nothin' from ALIENS.

Contact Protocols for Alien Life?

"Nuke 'em from orbit. Only way to be sure."

'Don't try to pet the animals'

When the monster snarls at you, stop trying to pet it (you Darwin Award chaser).

Dumbest Xenobiologist I've ever seen ...

The 'World Builders Handbook' by DGP, has two or three pages on survey methods that include contact 'protocols'.

The one protocol that sticks in my memory is a limit on how far advanced trade goods are allowed... 5 TL's, IIRC.
