Conquer the universe? Maybe parts of a galaxy. Fact is, they’re here to either macro or micro manage us. They have their reasons, but part of being initiated into the galactic community involves ensuring that we don’t end up doing something stupid or potentially dangerous to them.

They don’t take us lightly.
