mcow, I still think the SH should be blowing the humans up at this point, if that’s what they’re about. I don’t see that they’d really gain anything by still keeping up such a supposed illusion, since they’ve already determined the humans to be technologically inferior. They could go for a surprise attack on human civilization now, and it would be at least as defenseless as in the scenario where they let the human ship return with false news of non-invading aliens (news which everyone would not believe).
