HUMANS: For contacts obtained after 2017, roll 1d100. On a 1-90, your contact is human. On a 91-100, it is an alien. From 2017 through 2024, this is a Teuthidoid. From 2025 through 2029, this has a 50% chance of being a Teuthidoid or a Proximan. For 2030 onwards things get messy.
To determine the type of a contact, roll 2d10+2d4 and consult the table below. If this looks like a weird dice roll, it is - its designed to be a bell curve probability.
