A psychic mind attempts to prod the source of these transmissions,and delivers a message; Hopefully,whatever it is,it is receptive to psychic phenomena.
"We of the Unity consider your stance... Peculiar. It would seem that you believe that the galaxy requires an "Apex Predator",a hostile entity that threatens all,in order to maintain a dynamic stability in the galaxy,if our understanding is correct. While it is true that grand threats tend to produce alliances to combat them,this constant state of war is largely unsustainable. Eventually,the wars will end,be it with the exhaustion of the galaxy's resources,or the collapse of one side."
"The New Hegemony is responding to an unprovoked assault upon their sovereign territory. It is only natural to retaliate,and such unprovoked attacks are always precursors to attempts at extermination. So,the New Hegemony is responding in kind,in order to permanently remove the threat to themselves. It is cold,sound logic that they are using,in this instance."
"This war will invariably produce the "Apex Predator" you seem to desire. Either the Infinite Empire will remain,demonstrating their primacy even against the mighty New Hegemony,or they will be destroyed by the New Hegemony,cementing them as a force superior to the previous "Apex Predator." But,we of the Unity do not believe that there's a need for an "Apex Predator" within this galaxy."
"We believe that peace can be attained. We simply need to give it a chance,and come to understand one another. The Great Machines are coming. They would have certainly seen our flight from Origin. If we unite,we can perhaps defend ourselves against the Great Machines,whilst building a joint society of individual sovereigns here,to stand the tests of time,until the heat-death of the universe."
"But,that is not to say that the New Hegemony isn't in the right,here. They have been attacked,for no reason. They must punish this offence,and then discourage the Infinite Empire from doing so again in the future. And,in making them an example,they would discourage imitators."
