Doesn't look good. We need a "pre-warp" test for a Prime Directive, and need to be even more strict regarding requests for help. _________________ lolgov. 'cause where we're going, you don't have civil liberties.

When the Omega Directive is in force, the Prime Directive is effectively rescinded. And, by the grace of Odin, the dangerous element shall be destroyed.
ps: i'd post a link to the wikipedia entry on the Omega Directive, but i don't want to tempt the spam filter again.  |

Great. So they killed four people who weren't involved in the attack against us. "Four dead American, so now we kill four too!! Now all good, yes? Eye for an eye is good!" (Even if it's from the nearest unsuspecting bystander who probably fought on our side during the revolt.) _________________ Oldthinkers unbellyfeel INGSOC.

Also, if it were so secretive, it wouldn't splatter an Omega symbol on everything & lock everyone out. _________________ lolgov. 'cause where we're going, you don't have civil liberties.

Poor word choice on my part. I meant, "who probably fought on the same side we supported". _________________ Oldthinkers unbellyfeel INGSOC.
