Theres a difference between using a telepathic method to insta-translate languages(which Key approved) then instally accessing a foreign system and then breaking all of the associated security methods and encryption.

Also, you think after the first ship was destroyed they notice the tentacles and bombard the place, but it was implicated that the entire fleet was destroyed, and I was not given a chance to respond.

My main issue is not that it wasnt mentioned before, it is that [i]those tentacles are capable of destroying a ship thousands of times larger then it that is armored and shielded[/i].
