The Moskva maneuver.

What movie?

Probably. And then bring us back in cages for their zoos, so people back home could appreciate us too. We have no need for the resources or labor of most animals, yet we spent a substantial amount of our history hunting them for fun even after we needed it for survival.

Assuming our own history isn't lost after some cataclysmic event, I would say future space travelers will know exactly where the voyagers probes are, and their importance for our history. They will be seen as travelling monuments, I could totally imagine a tourism business that takes you close to the voyager probes for a fly-by/tour.

And, conversely, the odds that an alien specie intelligent enough to intercept and recover it, would then be able to translate it at that point are close to 100%. Sure, maybe they'll need to call their equivalent of Jodie Foster and it would take them some time, if their systems are completely different than ours, but eventually they would almost certainly figure it out.

Correct. Unless Rolls Royce also just figured out how to build a flying nuclear fusion reactor, but I suspect the news would be much bigger in that case.

Those dudes looking at the rings give me strong LOTR villain vibes.

How does that saying go? Something about shits and negative slopes.

Ah, the good old Riker Maneuver, a Starfleet classic.

We do. They're called tanks.

Ahahah it's funny because it's a joke about a woman wanting some sex, see? Ahahaha!

At the very least, it won't pull out a gun on you if it thinks you cut it off. (looks at a terminator poster). Yet.
