Thank you for participating in our survey, brought to you by the Shadow Institute of Strategic Research, constantly working for the betterment of the younger races. Shortly after our departure beyond the Rim, one of our loyal Drakh forwarded us this recording:
<BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Verdana, arial">quote:</font><HR>"Hello, younger races, we are the hand. What do you mean, which hand? We are the hand! Resistance is... fine, we can talk about that later, just put down the gun.
You see, we are undefeatable. We fear nothing. We have a marketing department which makes the Shadows look like insects. What do you mean, they are gone? Annoyed a bonehead and she sued them? But that is impossible! You can not drive them away! We tried, but they... well, that is a long story.
Anyway, we are finally back in this dimension. You will serve us. What? Up what? Now let us be be reasonable. What chances would your Drakh Entire have against us? Hey, what are you doing with that keeper? Keep this thing away from me! Nooo!<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
Our loyal Drakh has asked us to evaluate this threat, and its potential effects from 2265 to 2267. Given that our data are outdated, we would like to ask your assistance. Answer any questions or ask new ones.
1. What do they want?
- Chaos and evolution.
- Order and obedience.
- Resources.
- Control.
- Destruction.
2. Who are they?
- Beings of energy?
- Beings of matter?
- Not beings at all.
3. How do they work?
- Directly, their own butt in line.
- Through others, by controlling.
- Through others, by motivating.
4. Where are they?
- In this dimension?
- In another?
- In both.
- If not here, how do they communicate, influence, come and leave?
5. Who do they serve?
- An abstract principle.
- Their own interest.
- The interest of someone else.
6. Other questions.
Are they centralized?
Do they have a base, a place of power?
Is their influence spreading or declining?
If spreading, then how do they spread it?
If declining, who or what causes it? How do they fight?
Do they use ships?
Do they have allies?
What are their tactics?
