"Who are we to decide to wipe out a species?" Freda said from across
the room.
Everyone looked at the odd comment from what should have been their
hired killer.
"I speak from two backgrounds. First, that of the Federation. It is
ours to understand, not to destroy, not to mold in our own image. We
don't interfere in the natural order of things but equally, we aren't
to decide what is the natural order and then implement it.
"Secondly, coming from a society where my kind of people were
oppressed, I detest any efforts to ride herd over others, even if
animal, because "we know better". I do not believe we should carry on
the mission of the Klingon empire," the Zebra woman finished.

Angel's jaw dropped.
"But ... they've disgusting!" she blurted. The small, doe-eyed woman
paled slightly at the icy look she received from Freda, but carried on
regardless.
"I mean they've got no redeeming features whatsoever! They're not
*like* other species - they're pests! It's *them* who disrupt the
natural order of things - once they get anywhere, they just take over!
Ain't that so?". She looked to Sajin and Georgi for confirmation.
Respectfully submitted
