Quoted By:
The ambassadors went into their sim-pylons, convening in cyberspace with the vessel's expert systems to formulate a response. In the end, they have decided upon something decisive, showing up on Le Chevalier's display as sonorous voices of indeterminate origin, taking advantage of signal data compression, spaced out to give a cybernetic impression, alongside a projection of an image of a bare, low-poly head speaking.
COMMANDER SHULTZ
YOU HAVE COME TO US, TO SPEAK ON THE ISSUE OF COOPERATION.
YOU ARE CORRECT, BUT ALSO WRONG
WE HAVE REPELLED THEIR PRESENCE WITH ONE FAILING VESSEL AND THE SCRAPS OF THE ENEMY.
WE HAVE NOT FED ON THEIR ENVENOMED REMAINS AND HAVE GROWN STRONGER FOR IT.
BUT WE WILL HAVE NO ACTIVITY, NO DESIRE TO BE DRAGGED INTO WAR.
IF YOU CANNOT ACCEPT THIS, LEAVE US BE.
OR DO NOT.
WE WAIT YOUR REPLY WITH GREAT INTEREST.
