Scruples aside there is nothing to say that 
an alien species would have the same 
value system regarding that stuff as we
do.

[Tomb] True, although in a like vein of 
thought, perhaps some of these values 
arise from pragmatic underpinnings that 
are more universal than we acknowledge. 
Thus, perhaps, they may share similar 
values. Not everything another alien race 
does or is needs be different - there may 
be good reasons for similarities.

(wonder what a red cross or red crescent 
means to the KV....)

L'korr'ch: Look, Tok'Nar! The Hu'man 
vessel has a convenient symbol for aligning 
the railgun crosshairs!
Tok'Nar: Not for long! Y'iiiiiiii Cha!

Minbari open their gun ports, not realising 
that was not a threat in Minbari terms.

[Tomb] Ignoring of course the question of 
how the humans knew they were 
*gunports*.
