Ivan leaned in closer to Flora, staring her profoundly.
Look lady, me and a few other very powerful and important people are fearing what these aliens have in stock for us.
Have you been following the news? A large scale attack on planet Stuttgart? Sightings of Nomads the sizes of battleships all over Sirius? Infected military personnel working for them?
We can't fight these aliens with conventional weapons and hope we'll win, not while humanity as a whole is as divided as it is.
I know very well what this bacteria does to humans.
If it can do this to humans, why not the Nomads? At the very least, the parasite-type of the alien breed that infects humans.
This is why I wanted a batch to test out, if it even attempts to target Nomad tissue, it can be bio-engineered to attack their ships, which are also organic.
Imagine what bacteria filled bombs will do to the Nomad fleets.
Humans will not be affected because we are behind a vacuum-sealed metal chassis called a spaceship, and a thorough disinfection with gamma rays or something else can remove any potential cross contamination.
The more we learn about this bacteria, the more efficiently and safely we can use it against these aliens, maybe even create a strain that does not target humans at all.
There are several top notch scientific groups capable of dealing with this, what they need, is a supply.
If it makes you feel any better, we have a vessel dedicated to scientific research, equipped with modern tech laboratories and safety measures.
I will welcome you aboard, so that you can oversee the tests yourself.
Maybe this will open your eyes to the crisis that's headed for humanity.
Nomads will spare no expense, and will avoid no risk to exterminate us.
Why should we?
Ivan got back into his previous, relaxed position and took another sip of wine.
