be able to stop it. TerraSol will go absolutely blood crazy and all of you know it.
We've got to figure out a way to mitigate this. We can't afford a Mar-gite War again. The Terrans are barely calmed down from that.

He scares the shit out of all of us.
It's like there's nothing they can't do. Nothing they won't do.

TerraSol is scary as fuck, but look at everyone they've saved. Hell, even saved from themselves.

Traena'ad, you guys were in trouble. By now you'd have choked to death on your own larvae.
Mantid, you'd have had another Overqueen War by now.

Then what? We're not going to join. We fundamentally disagree with the 1% Line, your refusal to adopt a rule like the Prime Directive.

This is real time. You should know that.
There's a reason TerraSol isn't here.
