You're pre-contact, then. Don't worry about it. And I'm not formally trained in training, but my emergency first-aid certification's been kept up since I was a teenager, so if that works for you, that works for me.
[There are a million possibilities running through his head right now, and he isn't sure if he should be afraid, be calm, or go full-on amazed fantasy fanboy mode. Luckily, he has more tact than most of his friends.]
You have to tell me more! I mean you don't HAVE TO have to but that's so amazing! What are they like?! Do they know us? We don't do something stupid, do we?
[ there's a delay before she responds, probably because there's some sighing and making herself comfortable involved. a note to self, she figures, should be remembering to not mention aliens first. ]
Humanity doesn't get along with every other race in the galaxy, but after we got over our war with the turians, things got a little better. If you ask most aliens, we've done plenty of stupid shit, though. I'm not sure I necessarily disagree, but that's how humans are.
2157. Turians look like gangly, spiked dinosaurs that think they're funny. Aliens are kind of hard to explain. I don't think I really understood until I saw them for myself.
It was 2186 by my count. Turian jokes are terrible. You don't want to hear them.
[ no one should ever be subjected to garrus's sense of humour. and this is coming from the woman who's dragged him all over the galaxy for months. she's sure they don't all think they're funny, but her experiences aren't good. ]
But they do fight exceptionally well; they're all military trained. The one on my crew is one of the best snipers I've ever known.
[ nope. shepard is putting her foot down on the garrus-joke thing because it's just not okay. sorry, otonashi. ]
No. And of course not. Asari and salarians have an alliance with the turians, forming a Council that rules over most of our known space. Volus have a long-standing agreement with the turians because the only thing they're good for is banking and information and acting superior to everyone. Quarians are from the edge of the galaxy and they created the geth. There are also drell, elcor, hanar, vorcha, and batarians, all pretty easy to find. Of course, that's still not everyone in the galaxy.
No no no. All you need to know is that humanity's not alone in the galaxy, there are a lot of aliens, and at least 85% of them don't give a shit about humans so long as we're not being assholes.

I trust you on the first-aid probably more than I'd trust... most people I've been with lately. I think for them it devolve into a weird
cluster of legs and humiliation or
yeah you're perfect. please.

Give me a day or two for warning and I'll help out with your training.

When will all this happen? The "contact," right? And what does a turian look like?
That's so cool...

I don't know what year it is in the living world, but
Do they have cool alien jokes? OH do you know one? I bet they're awesome in a fight if they're like dinosaurs!

All of them? That's impressive... Are Turians the only ones?

Commander... that's a lot to take in, but I made a diagram in the dirt, maybe you can tell me if I have this?
