"UNIDENTIFIED LIFE FORM:

Carbon-based, probability 0.993

Protocol 17-J 23.

Initiate sequence."

Is any one else repulsed by the fact that the protocol, Brunel Brauer has established, for
dealing with their first contact of an unidentified life form, is to, immediately, attempt to kill it. Me
neither. It’s as if they where expecting to find, unfriendly, alien life forms. How dare they put the
rest of Earth in danger by going to a planet they know nothing about prepared to make the first
impression that a new life form has of Humans one of violence. I compare this action to a group
of undiscovered Indians, armed with spears and knives, invading the USA and killing the first
American they come in contact with. What would be their chance of survival? What would be the
chance of forming good relations for their people back home. Brunel Brauer is not acting with the
best interest of Human kind in mind. In fact their action could place us, as a species, in great danger of
being destroyed in a retaliatory strike from an advanced civilization. These actions are deplorable
and should be dealt with here on Earth. If organizations such as SETI or NASA Where to know
of this, it would not be long before the people behind B&B where answering some delicate
questions before a UN panel. This company represents a threat to all mankind and needs to be
dealt with.

It also bothers me that the Ipsols have abandoned Andrew at the scene. They have got some explaining to do. I hope they went for reinforcements.
