Re: Testimony for earth
Brigadier General Noel Salazar is a ranking officer at the Pentagon, who, like Onkemetse came up from DC.
He has prepared a statement on Earth's defensive capabilities, stalled space programs, SWORD excepted, and the basic extraplanetary monitoring strategy of the United States Government and its allies through the United Nations and NATO for monitoring extraterrestrial threat to earth.
He emphasizes that while it will be some time before Earth is ready to join the galaxy, that it is willing and capable of defending itself against any part of any galaxy that wants to come to them.
It's pretty much the most aggressive "we come in peace" you could imagine, more like an armistice negotiation than a plea for mercy.
