-neverused- is compelled to "WIN" online.. clearly indicative of deep seated insecurities.
The rest of us came here to talk about aliens...
but.. on topic..
I think perhaps my previous assertion of invasion had been predicated on the necessity to occupy more space as a species grew..
But when I think back, if the aliens started in biological shells as humans.. they would also need to transcend into a more durable existence..
If they eventually took the route to become a large sentient machine.. perhaps occupying space wouldn't be a motivation for them, because they'd have to continuously overcome latency of their own thought..
Now this is assuming they transcended PRIOR to achieving warp-tech..
