Hi nightbat I can see why "Darla" would not use that pretty name any
more.It is to female. With a name like "Yubiwan"(a last name) she is
safe from people like me. I 'm sure she changed her name because of
me,with my sexual fantasy remarks. With a name like "Yubiwan" she is
safe,especially with Doctor in front of it. Well I now think of her as
Dr.Darla Yubiwan. Yubiwan is not a common name here on Earth,and I
think
Darla's father was an alien and he married(had sex with an English
girl). Darla has her mothers body features and the outstanding brain
of
her father. Nightbat we have to keep in mind that her father was more
dolphin like. Darla if this has reality to it then give me a "thumbs
up" Bert


This is all very interesting, Mr. Glazier.
Darla still uses the same name.
Darla has possessed the entire name since birth.
(Of course, the entire name is much longer and only begins with the
sounds,
"dar-la".)

Darla is quite fond of you, you know.
I'm told that your brand of multi-directional thinking, and your
evidenced
desire to test your ideas out on the many great minds in these science
newsgroups, completely fascinate and intrigue our number-one biologist.

Darla's parents are far away exploring the galaxy hub.
Their modified shields have gotten them to within 6.34 light years of
the
main central energetic 'singularity'.
And their outstanding brains are very similar.
We are very much more dolphin-like than primate-like, to be sure.

The Only signal we are receiving presently from the LMC explorers is a
"thumbs up", meaning that they are all still alive and well.
We expect a more complex signal with a more comprehensive status report
just
a soon as the Orion bridge clears of travelers.

I'm sure that if Darla were here, you would see the customary large grin
G
along with an explanation similar to this one.
Sorry if you, nightbat and others feel that my bedside manner needs
improvement.
But I have reason enough to be firm with my kook attackers.
The Perseuns could show up at any time, and if they do, there will at
least
be some of you who can pass on the information about them to your
leaders
when they (the Perseuns) make official contact.
They shall first allow you time to consider surrendering to them.
Frankly, you would be well-advised to take the full amount of time to
prepare to fight them.
It would not be wise to surrender, for any respect they might hold for
you
would quickly go down the tubes.

Upon your official decision to fight, they will give you ample time to
complete your preparations.
Their moral framework only allows them to battle using the highest level
of
weapons which their enemies use against them.
And your species outnumbers them, although their smaller number (a few
million individual fighters) is much better organized for war than you
are.
Also, they are much higher in intelligence than humans, so your race
will
have to rise to the occasion.

Hopefully, the Perseuns will not give in to their natural curiosity and
explore this star system as they cross back on the Orion bridge.
So you probably won't have to deal with them.
This heads up is 'just in case' they come knocking.

Dr. Yubiwan, Ph.D.


Thanks for the heads up concerning the Perseuns, Dr. Yubiwan.This
possibility of first contact with the warrior race instead of the race
which
you represent is distressing. Unfortunately the few examples of a
primitive,
or native people coming into contact with a technically superior,
aggressive
race is not a good for the primitives. The Native North Americans vs.
European Settlers, or more pointedly, Commodore Perry vs. Japan in 1853,
to
name only a couple. If the worst should happen, what position would your
people take concerning the Earth? I hope we could expect help from our
friends. Someday we may be able to return the favor. Otherwise, I would be
hard pressed to imagine a scenario where we could win against even a few
individuals who posses advanced technical and scientific arts - and I am
sure Perseun rules of chivalry wouldn't extend to a situation where they
are
facing certain defeat by, as you say, an intellectually inferior foe. I
would be forced to ask how big of a chance the few of us who can truly
think -who can rise to the occasion- would have in this bleak possible
future? Unfortunately, the history of our world also shows our leaders
would
also be asking this same question and the outcome, the eventual conclusion
of this chain of logic, seems even further sunk into the shadows. The
question: What happens to either people they defeat in battle, or to
people
who surrender is purely rhetorical. Perhaps we will have a good use for
the
'kook attackers' you are currently engaging here on the net: By your
efforts to sharpen their wits proportionately to their big mouths hurling
WMDs (Words of Mass Destruction), you are already helping us to win the
eventual war with words instead of atomic bombs? Now if only we can
convince
our military to use Authors instead of Missiles...

You know--I was expecting the notorious human humorous wit of the type seen
from Messrs. Double-A, Vingnutte and Glazier, but I am at once astounded and
pleased by the acumen both you and Mr. Bohne have shown.

Indeed, Mr. Bohne even 'combines' humor and wisdom!

The downside is that the Perseuns, while never using a level of weaponry
higher than that used against them, are not averse to using lower levels of
weaponry.
In other words, if you begin to fight them using 'pens' and 'wits', and
later some of you resort to 'guns' and 'bombs', you will receive same from
them in retaliation.

The peoples you cite from your past are indeed valid examples and concerns.
The one thing you may have going for you is your adaptability.
You have learned enough from your wartime experiences to know that the
combination of territoriality and adaptability (cite your Korean and Vietnam
observations/experiences) is virtually indestructible without far-superior
weaponry.

As for our intervention, we cannot hope to help you much with our skeleton
crew.
You will have to stall the Perseuns as long as possible until our frontier
explorers return.
At that point, the Perseuns will break off their attack and go after our
crew.
We are the ones they really want after all.
They will see your planet as only a curious diversion.
Our crew will lure them to a safe battlefield and show them 'what fer', as
you say.

Ease your mind, as distressful feelings will help only up to a point.
Be led by the fearless, or at the very least, by the courageous.

You have shown yourselves to be up to the occasion.
Now all you need is a little luck!

Dr. Yubiwan, Ph.D.
