[quote=@Hael] <Snipped quote by Arawak> The Xim believe they can acquire perfection and even godhood through science and genetic engineering. They want Kazzlehorf DNA to take anything useful from it and add it to their own genetic structure, while discarding anything not useful. Kinda like the Borg :lol If the Xim achieve their goal, they will have the strengths of every species and every conceivable being, with the weakness of none. They will truly be the perfect beings. Kazzlehorf may not be all-powerful, but if they've survived long enough to reach the stars, they must have something useful that the Xim can add to their DNA. That is what the Xim would ask for in exchange for killing your Explorer. [/quote] Kazzlehorf will be so pissy that you think they are not 'all-powerful' and would not want to share his DNA. Kazzlehorf would never want to dilute his perfect DNA with that of other species. Kazzlehorf is all that is good, no need to improve things. DNA of Kazzlehorf is the best DNA already, this experiment is idiotic and has no value. Kazzlehorf will demand a alternative deal. How do they feel about TV? Kazzlehorf has the best culture and media. Thousands of episodes of "Kazzlehorf Adventures" will be sent to your faction. There is no better media around. (Kazzlehorf is convinced it is the perfect thing at everything even with mountains of evidence to the contrary. Kazzlehorf is totally convinced it is being the perfect diplomat when it throws out offers like this. The reason why things never go right with kazzlehorf is because all the other factions have horrible and unreasonable diplomats who don't know the perfect being of which there is no comparison to even when it is clearly staring at their face.)
