Ah right.
They always carry thousand-year old adaptors. Got it.
it's just a matter of their computers finding and breaking the code.
No.
The architecture and language the computers use may be incompatible for hacking.
Okay, here's one.
Say a couple
1 have children. Lots of them, five years apart for a couple of centuries.
At age 195 the eldest child murders someone.
Since you have already stated that each child is EXACTLY (your word) the same as all other children from any couple then we know that the younger siblings are also capable of, or inclined to, or predisposed to, murder.
Do they wait until those murders occur before apprehension and execution - thus causing innocent deaths, or do they arrest and execute the younger,
currently-innocent-but-genetically-fixed-not-to-be ones?
Can they tell if the future murders are "fixed" to happen when each child reaches 195 years old, or was the first's crime "delayed" until that age because of lack of opportunity?
1 Okay, they're aliens, it might actually take eleventeen of them to breed.
