The conquest I meant is the descend of Brace Control and the take over by Brunel&Brauer.
You Have a lot of arguments. Just let's list them:
1) You [the Ipsolstai] are in our domain (solar system)
2) You are occupying a planet in this domain by killing native entities (sentient Probes)
3) That way you are acting like the Amphibians {moral approach}
4) Why should we trust you ?? Why should we permit to stay here ?? {the rhetoric bluff}
5) We do so because we believe in peace. We welcome our new friends {soften their fears}
6) We wish to share the joys of discovery and understanding...{we are some of your kind }
7) ... that comes from such peaceful coexistence. {be aware, killers remain lonely}
8) We offer no threat to you. {what is our fault ??}
9) we have chosen to ally ourselves with you ... { we feel closer to you ... }
10) ...against others sent from our own home planet. {... than to bad forces from Earth}
11) We have risked ourselves for your protection. {We proofed that}
12) We have respected your wishes ... {we respect you}
13) that we not make use of some of your technology {we are no thieves}
14) We have done everything we can to welcome you and demonstrate our good will.
15) "You cannot find better friends than us anywhere in the known Universe."
{take your chance} -- Doesn't sound bad. We should give our Probes something like an official statement they can use concerning the Ipsolstai.
Can you do that Koala ?? -- These are mainly your ideas -- Anyone any addition ??
