We may never meet aliens in our lifetime
The U.S. Congress may have dropped the bombshell that we may or may not have already encountered alien life, which led to many Mass Effect fans puckering their lips for some alien smooching. But odds are, if we haven’t met alien life by now, we never will. Call me a downer if you want, but they probably wouldn’t come here to bang anyway.

Some alien race that’s already explored its own solar system and advanced far enough in tech to reach other galaxies like our own is likely on some Viltrumite-type conquest shit either because their own planet is no longer hospitable or they see ours as another prize to claim. So I don’t know about you, but I’d choose to remain hush-hush if what awaited us across the stars was another species with a bigger gun and a hair trigger. On the other hand, even if we do want to discover alien life, we are far from having the necessary technology. So I wouldn’t hold my breath on being able to cuddle a Krogan anytime soon.
Either outcome has kept me up at night for the better part of a week, and I am inconsolable about the fact that I’ll probably never have an Elcor friend or a Turian partner.
