"But..." "Listen to me. We might have the superior force, but their leader
was
unfortunately quite right in saying that we couldn't attack their ship
without
killing your brother. All we can do is report them to the Galactic
Council. Though
their planet isn't actually a member [8739], the Council may still be able
to do something through
diplomacy. Or it might even institute a trade embargo against them. Direct
military
action would be unlikely, I think."
"They said they were worried about being reported to the Council," Stacy
said.
[8865] "That's why
they killed the crew of the ship that we'd been on originally."
The alien looked shocked. At least, Stacy assumed that its wide-eyed expression indicated shock. "I didn't know about that," it said.
