I do hope that the Rear Admiral is ok, since no one has heard from him in a few days!
You'd think he'd be happy now that we've got some real enemies to fight!

TL;DR: Can we enslave them, in case they don't have a nuclear shotgun under the bed?

I suggest we rename our civilization "The Jerx" and commence orbital bombardment.
