>An invitation to come and enslave us.
>As the finalized translation emerges from the machine, so too does a wave of sweat pour out of Col. Symes' body.
>HEARKEN NOW THIS INVITATION
>EARTH FRIENDS, IT IS HONOR TO BE.

>"Well Symes, it's in English now. But what the fuck does it MEAN?"
>Sweating the sweat of a coward.
>"Not sure, sir. But it doesn't look good. I think it's an invitation to slavery? Or some form of chattel or client-state relationship."

>She produces some kind of collar, and fits it to her own throat?
>And... a leash?
>Squatting down but still more than thrice the General's height on her haunches, she hands the leash's handle to the General
>She then begins to speak.
>"IT IS HONORED THAT EARTH ACCEPT THE INVITATION TO ENSLAVE US"
>...
>Symes and the General exchange a look
>Symes finally asks the question.
>"Does the fact that dominant women don't exist ruin the invasion for anyone else?"
