Aggression is out of date.

After one war scare too many the human has suppressed it aggressive instincts by genetic manipulation.

Make love, not war.

Violence is decadent.

Only a museum exhibit from a thousand years ago - a Royal Navy submarine complete with commander and crew, their belligerent natures intact - can hope to save the planet from an enemy to whom living space is all-important and human life entirely superfluous.

A prey who is out to get you before you get him.

Man!
