Harabero did not seem very convinced at the assurance of Nomad power. He had lived and seen many things of them, from the time they were but a far rumor in the Alpha system to peace to open aggression and war. He had not witnessed such unrivaled power. Surely if they had the abilities that Chenzo had spoken of, would they not be speaking here today? After all, the Nomads had been at war with humanity for decades now.
If the Nomads have such prowess as you say, surely the would have used it by now? Would not they bring their abilities to show and destroy the Core and Order? Yet that is not what we see. Which is what brings me to my conclusion.
The advancements we have accomplished with regards to the technology of the Spirits is incredible. Our Orange Dream is sure to spread, as we are their successors. Combining our strengths to fulfill our domination.
Do not get me wrong, I do not hold any animosity toward the Nomads. Nor do I believe them to be evil. However, they have crossed and betrayed us in the past. Do you not see what has happened to the IMG? They attempt to thwart our plans, and they suffer the consequences. Why should the spirits go any different?
Harabero processed the requests made by Chenzo. This brought a memory of the Starfleets peace deal with the Nomads. Which, he remembered, was disregarded after attacks from the Slomon K'hara in the very Omicron Alpha system they were speaking in. From then on, they assumed the peace broken, and have scarce looked back.
Senor Chenzo. Need I remind you that we did indeed have a... peace? If you could call it such, with them, similarily to the one you are suggesting. That one did not end in flowers and roses. Rather bloodshed. What would cause you to believe this one would end any differently? Enlighten me. I am all ears.
