Description		Resolution
The Hydras have agreed to issue a statement to our faction in "simplified Hydra." We hope to translate it and then engage them in a dialogue.		We have translated the Hydra statement. Calling it a "statement" is, unfortunately, inaccurate. It is in fact a list of demands. 1. Humanity is to cease all military operations against Hydra forces and place all their forces under the command of Hydra-appointed representatives. 2. Humanity is to commit to building no space fleet, weapons of mass destruction, or other military assets that could present a threat to the Hydra race. Any such weapons in existence must be turned over to Hydra-appointed representatives. 3. Humans will commit to supporting the Hydra race in any and all future endeavors or military conflicts. A standing human force will be raised and trained to serve under Hydra handlers in future operations. 4. To ensure that points 2. and 3. are carried out, orbital weapons platforms will be placed in low Earth orbit carrying sufficient firepower to suppress any possible human resistance. These weapons platforms will be placed under the control of Hydra-appointed representatives. We attempted to negotiate in response to these demands. Our messages received no reply. The mood among our people is bleak. The more anti-alien members of our faction have been saying, in so many words, "we told you so." The alien demands are not merely for surrender, but for complete and total subjugation. All of our attempts to re-open negotiations have been met with silence. We are at a diplomatic brick wall and I fear there is no path forward.

I suppose the silver lining is that they bothered to communicate with us at all, Chancellor.

Description		Resolution
We have received the Hydra requests. It appears, however, that "requests" may have been an inaccurate translation. From a first inspection, they seem more akin to orders. We have attempted to negotiate but have so far received no response. Clearly, for now at least, we have no option but to begin to move ahead with the Hydra requirements, but there is some discord among the Council. I shall address them personally to explain to them the necessity for our actions. We have come too far to stop now.		The Hydra demands are as follows. 1. Humanity is to cease all military operations against Hydra forces and place all their forces under the command of Hydra-appointed representatives. 2. Humanity is to commit to building no space fleet, weapons of mass destruction, or any other military assets that could present a threat to the Hydra race. Any such weapons in existence must be turned over to Hydra-appointed representatives. 3. Humans will commit to supporting the Hydra race in any and all future endeavors or military conflicts. A standing human force will be raised and trained to serve under Hydra handlers in future operations, first with volunteers and then with conscripts if the aliens require it. 4. To ensure that points 2. and 3. are carried out, orbital weapons platforms will be placed in low Earth orbit carrying sufficient firepower to suppress any possible human resistance. These weapons platforms will be placed under the control of Hydra-appointed representatives. The debate in the Council was impassioned. Many spoke against the alien conditions. The demand for a standing military force raised the most outrage; many insisted that our faction's purpose was peace, not war. In the end I was forced to cut off the debate and issue an executive order accepting the Hydra demands. The situation is sensitive, and the time for discussion is over. Unfortunately, it appears that Lavrentiy's warnings were accurate. Certain members of the advisory team attempted to reverse my decision after the meeting was over. They have been placed under arrest for the time being, for their and our protection. I cannot help but feel frustration. Can they truly not see the necessity of our actions? At stake is not merely the success of our movement, but the very survival of humanity itself.

Commissioner, the aliens are so powerful. We have no alternative if we hope to preserve the human race.

Description		Resolution
For the longest time, one question has nagged at me. What happened to the emissaries? Something wounded them, wounded them so terribly that they have never recovered. But we have had no way to find out what it was. Until now. Our meetings with the Hydras have begun to give me clues. Not in what they say, but in what is left unsaid. For all their power and wisdom, the emissaries are limited. Their mastery of inert matter is beyond equal; their ability to command and direct other creatures is equally impressive. But these are technical things. Where are their artists, their philosophers, their spiritual leaders? The obvious conclusion is that they are somewhere else, among the stars, but the more I listen, the less I feel that this is the answer. There is a void in the Hydras, an absence. Perhaps this is the hole we are meant to fill.		Now I begin to see. The emissaries were not always as they are now. The great majority of their number were slain by a weapon that struck from space. Those that escaped were the soldiers, the engineers, the technicians. Their society survived, but damaged, incomplete. All of their efforts are now devoted towards ensuring that this can never happen again, and in doing so, they have abandoned their old path of leadership and guidance. They have lost their way. The emissaries have given us instructions towards the building of orbital weapons systems. I feel that it is important for us to avoid this. While they would perhaps assist us against those other factions still active upon Earth, they would signal to the emissaries that we are like their other subjugated species, resentful slaves that serve only because they are forced to. We must help the emissaries step beyond raw dominance; show them that we serve out of love, not fear.

We see the void within the Emissaries, Superior. We see now that our own purpose is to fill it. We will fulfill the destiny of both our species.
