Grand Protuberance: Why would our adversary be interested in this planet? Could they be looking for new thralls?
Plato: Unlikely. We are also aware of this civilization, but we have actively avoided it.

Plato: The inhabitants are sapient. With the exception of Colonel Barker's attempt to convince us to invade the Earth, we generally avoid sapient species due to the complications.

Nick: Whatever his reasons are, it seems obvious he is interested in SOMETHING there, which makes it our next priority. How quickly can we get there?
Pi: Less than an hour.

Nick: Then let's signal the combined fleet to move out. We have a half hour to come up with a plan for what to do when we get there.
