"Fighting against such a powerful interstellar civilization is very unwise. Why not contact this Teizene civilization? Perhaps we can negotiate."
"Are you joking? They are man-eaters, coming to Earth just to find new food. Where do prey negotiate with predators?"

"Iridium Star wouldn't fabricate something like this, would they?"
"Who knows, maybe they want to take this opportunity to gain control over us."
"They can't do it. The Iridium Star people are too few, and all the evidence shows that Iridium Star's intent is integration of the same text and kind, not to rule over the masses like the Manchu Qing."
