"Hm... interesting, and yes those were my thoughts as well. I would like to make contact with them, and as for what we're doing with them is hopefully strike a deal. The Tau are both amongst the easiest type of Xenos to deal with and hold great potential gains."<br/><br/>The Tau empire was tiny compared to the Imperium of Man but the technology they used was both advanced and fascinating, Cortez certainly wouldn't say no to one of those battle suits, and most importantly they were fairly reasonable as a people. There were rumors of both brainwashing and mass sterilization of human 'subjects', but even if those rumors were true it would still put them way ahead of most other Xenos.
