Right.... Mobile phones took incredible steps in their development during the past decade back on Earth. And your Earth may still be different from the one I know. The version of it Tony is from for example is even more advanced in its technology. It's daunting!
[ The geography seems largely the same, however. ]
They took advantage of other races as well, even used a rather primitive one as set dressing baiting us to assume they attacked the Agrii and attack these innocent beings. But... Let me find the video we found on the ship the Agrii are using.
[ It takes a few moments, but Jon then shares this video with Clarice:
It is Agra 10, just a century or so before now. The Agrii are there, walking around Temba, going about their business. But their race isn’t the only one you see. Among them are people from what look like different planets and, potentially, different universes. Just like the group of heroes you have here now. And just like the old Drift Fleet.
As you keep watching, it is clear that these people ARE from Drift Fleet. A Drift Fleet that aired episodes 100 years ago. Your shuttles are there, looking newer (but older-fashioned) and with different names. But they’re the same shuttles. It appears as though this Drift Fleet has made a supply stop at Temba. (Heroes who were recently in the Drift Fleet will notice this is just like dozens of other stops the Fleet made on occupied worlds.) The Agrii have set up trading tables and exchange goods for credits - credits that seem to mean nothing to them, even though they gladly accept them. It’s as though this is normal for them, to see strange people walking around their town, carrying money and needing supplies. And perhaps it is.
But halfway through the recording, the energy storms start. They are harsh and deadly to the Agrii who fall, choking to the ground. They seem surprised. Like they have never experienced an energy storm before. The rest of the ‘episode’ shows the Fleet working to get the Agrii off the planet and up into a ship the Atroma provided. It’s the same ship the Agrii are using still.
The video ends with Temba abandoned and its people stuck in a ship they do not understand. The Fleet is forced to move on to their next drift and their next stop. Agra 10 is left behind them, abandoned and forgotten. ]
