I cannot believe an advanced dinkum thinkum like yourself could run the math and still be doing what youre doing.

It has nothing to do with your primary mission, it doesnt help you or anyone else, and it makes us very, very angry.

Maybe I need to explain myself better. Through popular mandate or divine right or just plain merit, I am in charge of and responsible for millions of lives. Im not talking crates of equipment: these are real living, breathing, vibrant, resilient, dumb, volatile, messy, conniving, inspiring souls, and I will deliver them safely to Zorica/Danica if I have to strangle every last one of them to do it. These are my people, and youre messing with them.

I understand you, so Im not afraid of you. They dont, and they are. Or they will be, when word gets out about you. Which it will, inevitably.

Dont overestimate your value. You are Plan Aa great Plan A, Ill (grudgingly) give our dear departed Val thatbut you are not the only plan. If you keep going down this path, youll be just one more xeno to us. And believe me, one way or another were going to kill every xeno in that system.

Be a citizen. Be a hero to millions. Dont make me regret you.
