At the high-level Empire meeting, Bernal Connor, whose status in academia was on the rise, said: "We need to adjust our strategic guidelines. The Compound-Eyed Observer is not a civilization, but within its Slave Tribe, there may very well be a real civilization. We should break our blind vigilance towards the Compound-Eyed Observer, as the enslavement system they have built is not that perfect. If there is an opportunity, we should try to win over the Compound Eye Slaves Tribe, and disintegrate the enemy from within."
"Humankind has its own advantages, but we cannot deny the fact that our time in the universe is too short. Some seemingly backward Slave Tribes that can be easily defeated by us may not have mastered technology beyond ours, but in their longer existence, they will inevitably encounter some time-limited cosmic wonders that occurred before we were born."
