  • Yes. Fine. But also if it decides to attack we can’t offer a real time defense due to signal travel time. The probe must be ready to defend itself without our timely response. We have to trust it to act before we even know anything happened.

    We knew the risks when we planned the mission. We knew that an attacker might represent the whole of a particular species and that preemptive retaliation in the name of defense might represent genocide. It’s a risk we had to take. Maybe there is a small risk of interplanetary war as its civilisation takes our defense as a hostile act but look around you. Couldn’t things get a little better if we had one enemy to be united against? One major threat to get us back on track?
