| Description | Resolution | ||
| Our plan is reasonably simple, though highly dangerous. 1. We have assembled an envoy team. It consists of Rudi the Hydra, Security Officer William Parker, the head of our translation team, two diplomats, and one other security officer, all humans having been injected with a double dose of the anti-pherocyte serum. According to our calculations they should be able to pass through the wormhole without exceeding its mass limit. 2. Our fleet must secure the space around the Hydra base. 3. Marine forces will occupy the base itself and take control of the wormhole apparatus. We will announce to the Hydra garrison that we only wish to negotiate and will offer assurances that no Hydras on the base will be harmed should they let us pass. We do not expect this offer to be accepted. 4. Our envoy team will pass through the wormhole. 5. Once on the wormhole's other side, our envoy team will attempt to make contact with the Hydra leadership. Rudi's presence will be crucial here. According to Rudi, internal violence among Hydras is rare, and the Hydras on the other side will probably attempt to communicate with him rather than shooting first. Probably. 6. Our envoy team will attempt to broker a truce. Our envoy team will be entirely out of contact once they have passed through the wormhole. Our only recourse will be to wait and see. Should the Hydras reject our offer of negotiations once again, we have one final recourse. The second security officer accompanying the envoy team will be carrying a specially designed case containing an antimatter bomb with an estimated yield of 0.75 megatons. All of the human members of our envoy team have been briefed on how to operate the device. They understand what they are committing to. One way or another, no further invaders will be coming through the wormhole. |
The period after our envoy team passed through the wormhole felt like an age. Our forces withdrew and waited in a tense standoff with the remaining Hydras. Minutes passed, then hours. We waited, studying our sensors for any indication of the burst of radiation that would have indicated that the bomb on the other side of the wormhole had detonated. Yet what eventually came through the wormhole was two of our own personnel. They brought incredible news. The Hydra leadership had agreed to a temporary ceasefire. From there, things moved swiftly. More Hydras passed through the wormhole, armed and suspicious but not immediately hostile. They demanded access to our bioweapon. We refused, but stressed that we would not use it so long as the ceasefire was maintained. The Hydras declared that this was unsatisfactory, but – crucially – this time they did not cut off communications. Instead, we have been able to set up a relay system allowing for back-and-forth message transmission with the Hydra leadership on the other side of the wormhole. Relations are still tense. The Hydras continue to make demands, and back on Earth, the anti-alien factions are refusing to commit to the ceasefire. But negotiations continue, and already the Hydra demands are becoming almost reasonable. They have dropped their insistence on the orbital weapons platforms and instead are demanding guarantees against bioweapon research and development. We have agreed in principle, in exchange for the Hydras recognizing human sovereignty over Earth, and we will offer access to our existing bioweapons research at some point in the future as a further incentive. They are asking for volunteers to join their forces, as well. Arguments continue – but they are the kind of arguments I am well familiar with in diplomatic exchange, the kind where both sides have a stake in the outcome. Hard as it may be to believe, I think this ceasefire will last. And once a ceasefire is in place, it is much, much easier to maintain it than it is to establish it in the first place. Our position is still precarious. The anti-alien factions on Earth have already made it clear that they consider this truce only a temporary break in hostilities while they build up their strength. It is only a matter of time until they launch an attack upon the Hydras – or us. And the Hydras still do not have the slightest faith or trust in our species. If they can see a way to subjugate us without risk, I have no doubt that they will take it. Yet compared to a month ago, our situation has improved immeasurably. For the first time, there is a visible path, no matter how shaky, towards peace. In the early weeks after first contact, I had a dream that one day, humans and our alien visitors might be united – an alliance of alien species, each different, each cooperating. We are far, far from the day where that could ever come, if it is even possible at all. But what we have done here is a good start. | ||

| Against all odds, we have done it, Chancellor. The Hydra are speaking to us as equals. Perhaps, someday, we will speak together as partners. | |||
