Have we any new information about what the Kra'Vak are motivated by?
In classic 1950's science fiction, the basic motives for
being contacted (or attacked) by aliens are, according to Solomon
Golumb:
* Help!
* Buy!
* Convert!
* Vacate!
* Negotiate!
* Work!
* Discuss!
Sir Arthur C. Clarke notes that the nasty little short story by Damon
Knight adds an eighth motive: Serve! (fried or roasted)
