There are always threats. And species are known to unite despite differences against them. Most species are able to grasp that it better to unite when forces against them are overwhelming. The effort required to subdue them will only serve to weaken them.
No. I have not. My position is that your choices and position regarding other species' sovereign rights is what brought you here and you will not be permitted to leave in a manner that guarantees your continued existence until you surrender that opinion. Adapt.
There is no reward without risk and your way carries a fundamental flaw. I will find you a book on the primary power in my sector of space. The Federation contains over a hundred and twenty worlds and it is still growing by consensus.
You have to weigh the value of your life, the pain you may spare those who you would subsume and the rights of those worlds to self-determination against those beliefs.
The position you have taken is egotistical and selfish.
I will take your request under advisement. [It's not a good idea to give him all the things, he'll get the book and holograms at home because that's a homesickness thing, but the rest is just luxuries.]

You have made your position clear.

I can accept my death, or I can pursue the possibility of returning to life only to work against what I created during the last decades of my life.
It is not a choice to take lightly. I must weigh the value of my life against what I believe.

I will study your Federation, but I also request holograms of the art of its members.
