Welcome to Gaia! ::

The aliens have made multiple threats towards our kind through cryptic bullshit. They've used text alteration and code to express their diabolical plots. We pass this off as playfull and facetious behaviour because we are afried to act. What species of obvious technelogical superiority travels thousands of lightyears to mock and threaten an entire civilazation for fun? They're not doing this for shits and giggles, they're just pulling us in closer and closer until the time is right for them to finish what they came here to do.


Sir.

Agent, we don't know who they are. We don't know where they came from. And we can be damn certain that English isn't thier first language, despite what you may have seen on Star Trek.

I've seen too many interstellar battles start because of a poor translation device. I'm not about to let one happen on MY planet until we're completely certain about what these aliens are after, or until THEY start the hostilities. Even in a HUMAN court of law, verbal taunts are not grounds for physical assault.

Just what would you have us do if YOU were in charge, Agent?

Unless you'd like to promote me, sir, I do not have the authority to speak on that matter.


I suppose the disapearing cows and scanning of innocent Gaians was a translation error as well, sir?
Drastic times call for drastic measures.

And there's not much more drastic times then when you have alien invaders distributing threats, abducting livestock, infaltrating Top Secret facilities and scanning innocents for God only knows what vital information.

In order, Agent:
I asked you a question, so you have all the authority in the world to respond.
Dissapearing cows? Ever eaten at a McDonald's? You're responsible for more dissapearing cows than a whole ship full of aliens. Scanning?

You mean like what the US government has done every time they sent a probe to a new planet? Taken samples, scanned the surroundings? Would you like it if a bunch of aliens attacked you because you tried to learn about their planet?

I think not.

To answer your question more accurately, I do not wish to answer a hypothetical question based on leadership seeing as I do not have the authority to make such decisions. So doing so would be inconciquential.

Furthermore, and with all due respect sir, I think the alien's intentions of abducting livestock is a bit more malevolent then aquiring substanace. Also, what do you think the aliens are here for, if they're here for no reason, they would have left by now, if they're here for scientific research, they would have contacted the public directly in an orginized manner to gain the knowledge they seek and if they're here to attack, you know what they'd do? Learn about their surroundings, orginize their crafts, scan the inhabitants for our weaknesses and ATTACK.


We need action, and if the most we're willing to do is talk to them, then let's do it. Let's get the answers we need. Find their true intentions and strike before they do.

I believe we are already AT war.

If their intentions were military, do you really think they'd be acting this way?

Think about it, Agent. What would you do if you wanted to start a war? Would you fly around, in plain view of the general populace for days on end without a care in the world about who knew about you?


Or would you come in secret, and hit fast and strong before your target even knew you existed?
