Assisstance will be given, and you can build your embassy.

I am glad that it shall happen.  Feel free to construct your own.  Due to anger of the Vorglockie and the Salmass, I would suggest putting it in the Kel'nar territory.

I have a question: Do you think the Life-ships, or any of the other races at that time, would've taken a sample of the human genetic code for the purpose of Science?

Doubt it, though you could probably either find it at the  crash site or in their computers, if it is even on the planet.

Any data at the crash site would be long past destroyed, but I'll search whatever is left anyway.  Put what remains in a museum.  Check the computers for the genetic codex as well.

Hopefully, we can create a diplomat of some sort from the codes, considering Earth is the only planet we know where it is at.  ...We should do another search of that data.  Maybe newer computer technology can find something.

EDIT: Tests upon the FTL drive can be utilized with jumps to stars near our current location, due to those barely moving.  And if we can determine the distance to Earth, and its location in the sky compared to the map, we can determine the change in the location of stars and find far-off areas!

I can't be bothered looking back, but if I remember correctly the humans arrived and died at least five hundred years ago, at a time wen both sides still had yet to, or had just got, gunpowder.

Well that's too bad.  Still go to the crash site and put it in a museum, though.

Also, construct a vehicle similar to the ghost from the Halo series for use by the Vorglockie.

@entire update except the last paragraph: everything is ggoing perfectly!

@last paragraph: Oh ****.

Quote
For centuries he had toiled to create the perfect defenders, living weapons that would never falter or hesitate, ever loyal. The thing his species need the most... but without them to guide and restrain them, the thing the galaxy needed the least. Something which could become nothing but a blight upon it if left unchecked. It was with a heavy heart he set about to destroy any trace of his work.

Can't really think of anything else that would be justified in this situation. You've all seen the amount of civil wars and dictators that come as a side effect of optimizing the species for war. The other races are not perfect, not at all like the wardens that could have been created if this had been known in time, but they are far more peaceful than the Vorlocke or Vinthro.

Edit: I'll tell them the whole truth and give them a year or so to make peace and end themselves in whichever way they prefer thou.

The Vorglockie seem to be more peaceful than the Vinthro, probably due to being restrained by the other races upon the planet, but still.

They do not necessarily need to die, just be restrained by the Life-ships/Mariners, Hamriel, and the Alliance

The restraining only works well enough with the conditioning on specifics of Ataqalaa physiology. A hundred years is not enough to to create a new race, these ones took many many centuries.

Still doesn't mean this has to be the end.  Some Vinthro would become heretics, grab some FTL travel technology, and escape to the rest of the galaxy and cause strife, along with some remaining behind.  Any Vorglockie within the alliance would be prevented from killing themselves, and the Life-ship slaves wouldn't have a chance to do so.

Anyway, do you really think mass genocide is something an ataqalas would do, would allow?

@some escaping: yea,killing them is just the in-character action, on a metagaming level I'm counting on some escaping.

@allowing genocide: We've all been doing it all this time for much less noble reasons, so apparently they would.

Not mass genocide of an entire species no, and not directly no
