+: Accepted!+: (Oohhhhh, I just got your username. Heh. Clever.). I still need more convincing about point 3. How do you justify your crew even being diplomatic towards these other obviously inferior races (I think that's how the Combine view aliens, anyway)? Also, please don't have an Advisor on board. I didn't notice one, but I'm just saying.

No, no advisors. I'm running on an alternate version where no Freeman saved the humans, meaning they have Humans as part of their empire now. Thus, instead of Advisors handling the administration work of the next invasion, it's the humans. As for the diplomacy, I'm already planning to make references to how 'unevolved and inferior' the others are at every turn, and only grudgingly accept their help.
