Okay, so you've had your first encounter with an alien race. They don't seem hostile, and might even be friendly. So, how do you let them know you don't want to hurt them? You say hello. You tell them you don't want to hurt them. The classic way to do this, of course, is with the old standby of "I Come in Peace", but other greetings may be offered. If all goes well, diplomatic relations might be established. If not, well... This can happen in reverse, of course, with the alien race indicating their peaceful intentions this way. If a character uses the specific phrase, it can overlap with I Always Wanted to Say That. If this is said by the Big Bad, this will be his/her way of saying "I'm not looking for a fight.", or "I just want to talk." Of course, this can be subverted, with a visitor indicating peaceful intentions just before slaughtering the Puny Humans. Or the peaceful party getting mauled by the non-peaceful party. Or a suspicious member of one group or the other might still be convinced that the visitors are dangerous. Or whatever. We Come in Peace — Shoot to Kill is another name for subversions of this trope. Compare Take Me to Your Leader. If the characters start out with numbers instead of language, it's First-Contact Math. |

ParodyFic | |
| I Come in Peace / int_2411a3b8 | comment |
In the Parody Fic "Farce Contact", Captain Archer does a test run of the Universal Translator, which isn't fully perfected in Star Trek: Enterprise. When the device translates "Our intentions are peaceful" as "We intend to make small bits of you", Lieutenant Reed smashes the translator. Later on making First Contact with the incredibly gorgeous Deltan ambassador, Archer greets her with "I come all over your face". |

Attack Backfire | |
| I Come in Peace / int_3069d72a | comment |
In the sci-fi short Disarm, by Vylar Kaftan, any nuclear, biological or chemical weapon used against the alien invaders kills only the user, but the aliens always heal one soldier and 'mark' them in some way that causes anyone who sees them to hear or experience a message (unique to the listener, such as a song or vision). The protagonist is a songwriter, so he has a vision of performing before a crowd: We come in peace / We mean no harm / Put down your weapons / We’ll save you, save you. | |

Golden Ending | |
| I Come in Peace / int_47e4f5f5 | comment |
The trope is implied with the Golden Ending in Undertale. With the monster race emerging to the surface of the world after being imprisoned underground by humans for who knows how many years, they attempt to make peace with the human race after Frisk, a human themselves, spared all the monsters and didn't hurt a single one. Everything works out as the ending shows the monsters successfully integrating with human culture. | |

"Mr. Zurkon", a floating robot that defends the player (and is a weapon in his own right) perhaps lampshades this by proclaiming that "Mr. Zurkon does not come in peace." | |

Thanks to "Blind Idiot" Translation in the Iain Banks short story Cleaning Up, the alien's Universal Translator converts this phrase to "First person singular obtaining colloquial orgasm within a Caledonian sandwich." The human thus greeted immediately tries to shoot the alien, who fortunately has a personal forcefield. | |

Stealth Parody | |
| I Come in Peace / int_9f81bd21 | comment |
In possibly the oddest straight use ever (and possibly a Stealth Parody), the player-character in Homeworld Cataclysm quotes the trope word-for-word... whilst trying to convince the setting's resident Space Pirates to help you take on the monster that's clobbered you and them both. It doesn't turn out very well, to say the least. | |

It's the Only Way | |
| I Come in Peace / int_ad3a96f5 | comment |
Star Surgeon, by Alan E. Nourse. The protagonist has the power to influence emotions, which he resists using until It's the Only Way to handle a hostile mob of aliens who have surrounded their spaceship. Naturally the first words he mentally projects to them are: I come in peace. | |

Beam Me Up, Scotty! | |
| I Come in Peace / int_bcb2cfe1 | comment |
Captain Kirk delivers the line straight, contrary to popular belief that he says We Come in Peace — Shoot to Kill, although in "Spectre of the Gun", he tells the Melkotians that "We come in peace", draws and aims his phaser, and adds "But we'll defend ourselves if necessary." | |
