Provocation

"How many times do I have to tell you! Don't provoke the humans!"

"But dad!"

"Don't you 'But Dad' me! Do you remember what happened when your auntie accidently-on-purpose let them 'Discover' interstellar travel?"

"Yeah, but..."

"No! No buts! Your auntie is doing time in a black-hole event horizon detention zone, and we have a human infestation spreading across an entire spiral arm of the galaxy."

"But I just..."

"I know what you did. You tried to start an interstellar war between the humans and the Chokrali investiture. Don't make me repeat myself...

Don't provoke the humans!"
