I like the way Hekaht supports his lower arm in the pocket and the upper arm on the lower.

A arm that works as a arm-support. Arm´arite ?

Not the most productive meeting I have ever attended to :-P

I find especially of concern, that Zane has dismissed everyone without giving any disposition of actions to take - at the very least, they need to get a better understanding of our world, by way of SIGINT or otherwise.

I wish we had heard the opinion of the Sashli. In the past they successfully mediated between the Raharrs and the Insectoids, maybe they could help sorting this mess out.

If you mean those nautilus looking things (can't be bothered hunting down the page right now), they botched it when they had the chance. At best, they might have some front-row insight into what went wrong, but the whole fiasco was surely studied by every historian and anthropologist in the alliance.

TRIVIA
The Alliance space stretches for an impressive 16 thousand light years along the longest axis and contains approximately 12 billion star systems. Despite that, 99.99% of those star systems haven't been explored even by an automatic mapping drone yet, and the borders of the Alliance space are defined mostly by the reach of spaceships from the nearest colony or space station, and in general are purely informative.
