What Do We Do If SETI Is Successful?

Not sure. Can some of HN at least agree that if it's the Empire we all join and act as if we love serving the Emperor and then put subtle code in the planet killing weapons that overload and self destruct if pointed at human listed planets?

If survival is key in that regard, then we'd probably be encouraged to spread/cohabit with other species' planets so that the target is more fuzzy.

Earth might still be at risk, but never underestimate the human ability to sell large tracts of land to foreign investors in exchange for a few concessions.

I will do my part to find out which humanoid-like species are genetically compatible with as wide of coverage humanly possible.

Unless we will find some Space Nazis like Qu from All Tomorrows.
