The sentients, once plentiful in the Tau Ceti systems, were all gone.
We pulled up stakes, as our ancestors had done, and hauled our belongings
behind us all the way to our new hunting grounds.

We were cunning.  Our scouts moved amongst them, dressed in the skins of
the primitives.  We studied them in secret.

Then, we struck! preying upon their fear and ignorance, we penned them
into their crowded warrens with our particle weapons.

We are wise and careful.  Only when their numbers are sufficiently
regrown do we harvest yet another city.

Every part of the human is used.
