We have few friends Sajuuk. We're a family here.. and when there are members of our family embedded amongst others.. who maybe fighting one another the first thing we must not do is endanger them.
I will not be specific.. but one of the reasons we do not attack everything that threatens us .. seemingly enemy factions is that we have may seekers amongst them. Members of our family. Who know the risks but cannot be compromised.
The vagabond hive does not care about humans.. The commune is likely being used. And as I suspect the recent goofiness on Malta are related to them infiltrating and encroaching on our benefactors territory.
It's a paradigm I know many were unprepared for but the fact their meddling has forced things backwards that have taken years to develop is plain on the face of those I interact with.
Until a solution is viable or plainly seen.. we must wait and let events continue. Our primary job is still to watch and observe. Care for the flock and assist seekers.
Also.. keep in mind the Hive is apparently reconciling several things so unless you feel it is an imminent threat to yourself or your crew try not to attack and neutral parties.
