Do you expect to see a certain conspiracy theory confirmed? Do you expect to see some technology revealed? Do you expect to see the colonisation of space or something? What do you think will happen after?

    And you think they weren’t/aren’t dangerous? You think they’ve never had wars, conflicts, or horrific regimes, or perhaps still do? Do you, Blackbrook, think those aliens were throughout their history and currently, a peaceful union of their planet’s nations? Their ships engines alone can likely be used as weapons alongside the PDCs they use on space debris, and who’s to say they didn’t have to defend themselves getting here?

    Are you telling me they’re only going to see our wars and our wars alone and not see our capacity for peace, cooperation, ingenuity, collaboration and curiosity? The cities, megastructures and space infrastructure would tell them otherwise.

    If the aliens are going to solely judge us for our capacity for cruelty, then let us nuke Belgium!

      Uh, no, I don’t think I implied any of that, and can’t imagine why you would think what I said implied anything about the aliens being any better than us. If the aliens are just as bad as us then they know all the better why they have reason to exterminate us.
