As far as I know, Ali’s suspended operations already, and did so well before this. So no, Aria, I’m not trying to convince the rabid warmonger who’s not shooting them to stop shooting them.
And no, really, Aria, the one organized group that’s currently actively hunting them down and killing them, when presented with an opportunity to study them without being attacked, deciding ‘well, ok, we looked at them for half an hour and they didn’t send us hugs, start shooting again’, no, that really doesn’t convey ‘blowing up Drifters has never been our aim’.
If anything, it conveys ‘searching for a ‘solution’ has always been a thinly-veiled excuse to go blow up Drifters’.
