STS Lies

[Monica]

I don't recall anyone saying that STS entities only lie, just that they do lie often.

Very astute point!

I think when an Orion channel doesn't receive any direct benefit from the information they give they'll probably give whatever information would cause maximum chaos on the planet and among STS entities, whether that means telling the truth so an entity can be strong enough to compete with some other entity, or whether it means lying so some entity becomes confused and uses it as negative catalyst, or any mix of truth and lies and selective uses of either.

Exactly! The point isn't that they only lie, but that they lie a lot, so can't be trusted. How could we trust someone who has a track record of lying? How would we know if they're telling the truth or not?
