...the man sighs...
"I suppose, you do not understand what situation we and does include you, are currently in, let me "enlighten" you about the consequences of your actions.
As TATC we are required to hold absolute neutrality unless we are directly attacked, we are not to involve in any inter-faction politics, at all, fullstop. Which would mean, we would have to turn down your "offer". In turn you would most likely destroy a part of this system, and then in turn die to inter-system defense installations, including the drones you intitally wanted to safe.
In consequence to this next attack this universe will be marked as "potentially hostile", which means, both the TATC and the TMD, or whatever remnants of them there may be, will be repositioned to the homeuniverse and the next action would include but not be limited to, a full-scale Kin Warfleet, which would use coordinates raided from the remnants of your datastorages, or the manually evaluated position of the EL via an uncounted number of scouts and large scale particle scans, it does not really make a difference at that point, to locate every last bit of the EL and possibly the EC should they be considered an adequate threat, as well as every other faction or race that decides to side with them, and eradicate every trace of their existence from the plain of this universe with the help of aforementioned fleet which could count anywhere from a few hundred thousand to several billion ships, including a Kin Capitalship.
"A worthy challange" you might think though a Warfleet is excessively more advanced than the outpost escorts and installments you have met up to this point and if may add, up to this point the EL struggled even with those already, a full-scale Kin-Warfleet can "cleanse" an advanced galaxy of any race and most matter within approximately 7 days, give or take three days, this is not an approximate guess it is actually within the records of the Elder-Archives, they have been...very detailed.
After this, the fleet will leave and collapse the connection from this to the homeuniverse, to make sure no Kin ever sets a foot in this world again."
...he paused for a moment, his exspression was still perfectly serious and emotionless...
"Now, let us elaborate the other option you gave, we do take your "offer" and give your drones refuge or help to fight the EL. In this case, the EL attacks would continue regardless, considering we had just "destroyed" a mainframe.
In consequence to this action not only will the Warfleet be sent once more with similar results, but all TATC and TMD members of this outpost will be either brought before the Elders and will spend the rest of his days in either a containment cell or dead, or they will be banished from the homeuniverse which would be equally punishing, as it means they are considered a threat to the homeuniverse and have to be equally expunged along with the EL."
...he paused again and waited for the information to sink in...
"Now, I suppose none of these outcomes is desirable for both sides and any even faintly affected bystander. Which means, either you or we will think of a different solution or we will end up with one of the aforementioned."
...he paused one last time, then a broad smile covered his face...
"So, are there any more questions? If you´d excuse me for a brief moment, I will contact the elders about what to do about this situation, they greatly dislike being forced into a decision."
