	The Nene are the latest sophont contacted by the [[Search and Discovery Organisation]], in ~~YEAR~~. Originally thought to be a computer virus, as their initial attempts at communication included using computers as an interface, to mixed or poor success, the Nene were quickly identified as a new sophont and became part of the organisation by ~~YEAR~~.		The Nene are the second-latest sophont contacted by the [[Search and Discovery Organisation]], in 52bon PE. Originally thought to be a computer virus, as their initial attempts at communication included using computers as an interface, to mixed or poor success, the Nene were quickly identified as a new sophont and became part of the organisation by the following year.
