You geniuses are either really self-involved or just plain stupid if you think that intimidating the Kedan will get us anywhere. Have you even tried to find out what happened to them in the year that we were comatose? Do you even know the changes that went on within their lives? Why don't you try understanding them instead of trying to force them to understand us?
