I almost read that sarcastically. Like, "yeah, suuuuuure she did it for science" :lol

[@Hael]BTW, I am working on my sheet and it occurred to me people would probably notice the aliens scouring planets clean of life with zero regard for any inhabitants before plopping down disgusting microbial mats and colonizing those worlds.

I'm stuck wondering if people would have tried to intervene in the past.

They may have- I can't really speak for the others (as telling you what other player's nations would have done would be poor GMing), but I can say that the Xim would not have intervened. They would have just watched from a distance, and maybe tried to make contact with the aliens and/or abducted a few for gene-research (gotta find out what gene is responsible for their insanity, afterall!) before realizing that they are actually being partially controlled by microbes within them.

As for other player-nations... well, I can't say. That's up to them.
