I like how you throw in ‘even the Americans’ with the spying groups. We definitely spy in all our allies. And in return we encourage our allies to spy on us. It is a very calculated political game where we (all the allied countries) pass legislation and safeguards in our respective home countries and declare our citizens free of authoritarian government surveillance, but then work with the other countries spy agencies to do it for us. We intentionally put in the backdoors in our peoples networks and hand the keys to our partners just so we can say ‘well I wasn’t spying on you. That would be illegal!’ But in the end it is effectively the same. If the allied government finds anything of interest they just send a notification over. We each have boundaries that we respect in spying on each other’s people too. It is almost a formallity by this point.

We got you so good at flying through air, we wanted to take it away and see what you do.

All your experience is in air, so ignore all your prior experience. Also, without this prior experience you would be unqualified.

So wings… don’t need them.

Before, you flew the skies with advanced methods of compressing air and expelling it, forcing changes of pressure around you, and playing on two competing physics principles by Newton and Bernulli. Now you just fly by pushing on explosions.

In an airplane, if it stops working you can just glide to the ground. In a spacecraft, if it stops working there is no ground…

If you really want to blow your mind, look into the theoretical alternatives to DNA. we are all taught about RNA and how it is a precursor to DNA, but what if it went another way? Look up PNA, PNA-O, or even GNA. If life existed on other worlds, there is a decent chance it follows an xNA structure, but not necessarily DNA.

Ah yes, the 4X buisness strategy. Building an empire through four core pillars:

eXplore, eXpand, eXploit, eXterminate

Lots of research has been done on this. But I would highly recommend watching the YouTube video that was posted by the top commenter instead of trying to dig through what’s out there.

Based on all the auzzis that I have known and met, it is hard to know if the Koala learned it from them, or the other way around. We will never know.
