Just as everyone was discussing the situation enthusiastically, Jason stepped forward and asked the room, "So here is the real question: why did Gaia attack us?
Shouldn't any intelligent life form operate on some kind of internal logic, whether it decides to attack or do anything else?"
Dr. Lambert thought for a moment, then stood up again. Gesturing with his hands, he said, "Captain, I can think of two possibilities. First, this creature is still in its infancy. It hasn't formed a complete worldview yet, and it lacks a strong sense of self. It's like a newborn, just learning about the universe.
Due to the influence of the original native civilization, it might have absorbed some aggressive tendencies. So, as soon as it sees intelligent life or artificial structures, it attacks on pure instinct. Or perhaps... it thinks dropping nuclear bombs is just a way of saying hello?"
