[QUOTE="MarkB, post: 7567861, member: 40176"] But it's not just a choice between "act now, immediately, without hesitation" and "never interfere or intervene ever". They know from the sphere's historical database that the Kelpiens nearly wiped out the Ba'ul previously. They know that Saru has undergone both physical and emotional changes that are still ongoing. For all they knew, for all they still know, the conclusion of that transformation could be a vicious, bestial personality with which there is no reasoning or peace. They had exactly zero examples of a living Kelpien who had completely finished his transformation process into apex predator, and no idea what that would really look like, and they unleashed that unknown across an entire planet. Plus, they had no idea what effect the transformation would have on a Kelpien who had not yet reached a sufficient state of maturity to undergo it naturally. It could kill them, or cripple them for life, or drive them insane. Waiting long enough to determine the answers to these questions would have cost the lives of Saru and his sister, possibly their entire village, but beyond that they could still have gone ahead with saving the rest of the Kelpien species [i]if[/i] they knew that their plan would actually do that.
