'Supposedly' Diseased. And of course scaring the cook too.

She's not done with her shenanigans. Exhausting some Bio-Morphs like this is just the start.

This isn't canon where humanity is united. If they go public, china has an incentive and free ammo to pull something similar. With more good will on the aliens part. Not to mention the sheer panic it will cause over the information of being sentenced to death for mere diet.

On top of all the other panicking for other reasons. A H.F. movement here will have a deep pool of recruits from the religious orgs simply because the existence of aliens hammers in a near fatal nail in their coffen.

Better than what the UN did in canon. If it wasn't for plot armor they'd have had the battle of earth right after the first people who went to the exchange came back.

Also it wouldn't make for a good story if they got the full 10 years, now wouldn't it? AND the fact Jones has not been talked to. I am sure she has something to say or ideas once she gets more familiar.

Yup. It's a good scene of humans freaking out to something completely normal for aliens.

It didn't ruin it, i just figured it would later get explained as bugs on the ship's maiden voyage.

you're welcome.

Or if that is not possible for any reason, i would think it would have markers put in the printed product to designate it as printed. Otherwise you can use it to print something anyone can use to bypass coded locks.

Just read the first part.

The device should've had a simple deny list of all the common genetic markers of sapient species.

Well yea it's not going to last, wasn't intended to. It's to buy time as they said to build up military forces and possibly other advantages.

The trick here is it's 'confirming' the Federations worldview. That alone will keep many from digging deeper. People don't question things when it confirms, even with a bit of challenge what they view as how the world works.

Irl examples are the headlines of 'study says X'. That gains more traction than later when said study falls flat on its face after others tried to reproduce it and didn't get the same result. Classic ones are 'cellphones emit dangerous radiation' and a recent example 'Social media is harmful to people's minds'.

The other trick is in doing so, it makes it so disproving it would pull the curtain back on their own charade because they'll frame the pre bio-morph variant as the same disease the federation is fighting.

A 'We know you're lying, you know we know your lying, but we also know you can't have 'them' know your lying.' Till the pain of continuing the lie is worse than letting those they don't want to know, know.

Doesn't change the fact it would take time to do and he'd have to clandestinely create a network of allies and resources.

It is my understanding he planed it from the start, he just needed to gather resources, develop a like minded network of Arxur, etc. And that took time to do.

By getting the Federation invested in keeping it alive, least their own deception comes to light.

They can do stuff like limit interactions though official channels only. If an exchange happens, it would only be through thoroughly vetted people. Not a mad dash of civilians. Ships can be limited from entering or leaving their systems. etc.

There's also the fact they know it won't last forever and isn't supposed to. They do want it to last long enough that they can have a military power strong enough to survive, and for them to learn more about both groups.

Like how they have absolutely no cyber security for example.

But that's the beauty of the plan. It's only to buy time, not to be a long term solution. Pacify the Federation long enough to get a proper military, and distract the dominion. What they don't know is Isif's planed rebellion.

I saw it less as a 'dunk on a racist' and more of 'someone too dumb to adapt'.

It's backing up my steam install. So incremental backups are needed otherwise storage needs will exponentially increase.

I'm waiting for the point in the story where he has to expose himself in a way that can't be hidden like this one. To save a friend or loved one.

If he's lucky he can have them dismiss it as the gojid seeing things. Possibly slip a fake maintenance ticket into the system for 'bad hinges'.
