Solution
Complete the "A Permanent Peace" project when it becomes available.
Description		Resolution
We have learned all we can about the Hydras. We have studied their culture, language, and history. We have reverse-engineered their technology and developed our own space fleet. We have analyzed their physiology and capabilities. We have learned to defend ourselves against their pherocytes, and developed plans for turning their own weapons against them. Now it is time to put everything together. By proving that we have the ability to genuinely threaten the Hydra species, yet also demonstrating a willingness for a peaceful solution, we hope to bring them to the negotiating table and end this war for good. The risks are great, yet the rewards should we succeed are greater. The first step will be Rudi. If we can persuade him to cooperate with our envoys, it will be a priceless diplomatic advantage. If we cannot persuade him, I see no hope of convincing the Hydra leadership.		Our linguistics team has not been idle, and while we have been pursuing other goals they have developed a rudimentary mechanism for "reading" and reproducing pherocytes, allowing for more sophisticated communication. Using this, we approached Rudi with the details of our plans. Security Officer Palmer, given his apparent level of rapport with our Hydra captive, was chosen to present our case. Rudi's first reaction was, as expected, to refuse. We presented to him our blueprint for a bioweapon using modified Hydra cells. The weapon would take advantage of the behavioral effects of Hydra pherocytes to accelerate its spread, leading to an estimated 99 percent fatality rate upon infection. According to our projections, it would at the very least inflict significant population damage, and at most would wipe out the Hydra race entirely. Our presentation is, at least partly, a bluff. We lack the biowarfare expertise to actually produce such a virus. Still, while we could not manufacture such a weapon, other humans could, and to the Hydras that is much the same thing. For the first time Rudi demonstrated signs of genuine fear. When we presented our offer to him – that he act as our go-between in opening negotiations – he agreed with little argument. We have our strategy, we have the knowledge of where we must go, and we have a Hydra who is, however shakily, recruited to our cause. We are as ready as we will ever be.
