In the scenario of existing technologically intelligent aquatic species in (probably several of) our ocean planets, their population in Earth's oceans solves several problems:

Firstly it places humanity in the position of an older sibling who is taking on the responsibility of (eventually) guiding species to developing space-faring technology. This is important under the assumption (which itself is based on the universal existence of life and the universe having been capable of supporting life for several billions of years) that (likely) several species in our galaxy guide (on various levels) less developed species to the (as safe as possible) cosmic integration. This also assumes that (as the early 2023 near-solar show of force demonstrated) we are under the protectorate (and possibly systemic guidance) of the far more technologically (and likely socially) advanced (group of) species.

Updated 7/8/2024
The recent near-solar show of force appeared to be of a patrolling nature (possibly a change of the sentinel). Given our presence and our defenseless (in terms of the external world, short of improperly attained and relatively insignificant 8+43) state, it only makes sense that the sentinel is here for our sake. Of course, there are other scenarios like the need to secure a frontier or simply protecting a fuel source (assuming, as confirmed by earlier and arguable sentinel corona entry evidence, as well as the arguable "Jupiter" vortex evidence). These scenarios could be correct and there could be many other scenarios. Still, the scenario that is the most morally correct one and thus (given the assumed more advanced social state of a technologically superior society) is assumed to be the preponderating one.

Given the fuel for space scenario, and the assumed complexity of the region (borough, or possibly the entire galaxy - city) and the assumed diversity of interests (given our own continued and relatively untouched existence) we are likely under a much more extensive coalition protectorate. Yet the presence of a sentinel appears to be necessary. This leads to an assumption that the inter-stellar neighborhood we are in is not very safe (at least for nascent technologically intelligent species). Given the relatively significant size of the sentinel, the threat (of at least a significant level of interference) is non-trivial.

Thus, with us taking on the role of an "older sibling" we are showing responsibility and are greatly improving our own chances of being a far-going, independent species. This of course would raise expectations of our usefulness in conflict-reducing deal-making (and potentially peace-making), helping solve the (likely) persistent presence of large-scale violence (again demonstrated by the recent show of force). We don't know what level of agreement our region (or the entire galaxy) has achieved and how coordinated the attacks and responses are (especially on stagnant or less developed species) but (at least the threat of) lethal, mutilating or seriously injuring conflict appears to be present, which means there are casualties (or at least they are possible). There is always a better way and all involved parties would benefit from more AWU.

In the (relative, in terms of the "parent" species) short term (of several thousand years) a decision to take the route of an "older sibling" would certainly put a strain on our society and economy. However, this will also accelerate our ability to make safe (and eventually secure) our Solar System and (more importantly) accelerate our social progress (by placing us into the position of caretakers). Ultimately this will benefit the survival of life on Earth as an ecosystem and will lead us to the successful path of maintaining (and eventually managing) our star (making us truly independent, before being able to help on a regional and eventually galactic level).

Again, with the assumption of the existence of technologically intelligent aquatic species in our ocean planets, this would of course benefit the migrating portion of the aquatics, giving them a fresh start and a positive long-term outlook for their own future. And of course, being more closely tied to the oceans, they would most likely do a much better job of preserving them and ensuring their long-term health and vitality (as is probably widely known by the interested externals, from previous examples). Updated - same day Having (an)other vested persective(s) on proper balance (likely between stages 4 and 5) in the extend and velocity of deuterium utilization will also be greatly beneficial. It is far more likely that stage 5 should preponderate - our expedited industrial progress is likely of much less concern to all involved parties than our (and with the above assumptions Solar) societal experiment and its longer-term implications for the region and possibly the galaxy as a whole.

Added: 2/2/2025 A key assumption is that it is in the best interests of the aquatics to be aided by a species as close to their level of technological development as possible. Likewise least possibly developed helping species would also get the most societal and technological development benefit. The same principle is assumed to apply to the necessary aid of the possible subsurface species on Venus and Mars, with the additional benefit of lesser technological gap between us and the incoming species (presumed to start taking place in Phase 3) - though clearly the best interests of the possible sub-surface inhabitants of Venus and Mars take precedence, given their direct intra-planetary cohabitation. Of course additional scenarios of temporary population of Venus and Mars by more advanced species are possible but are not considered the likely scenarios, given the widely present threats of planetary habitat destroying cosmic calamities and additional destructive factors. Present assumption of continued sub-surface vs surface cohabitation, combined with sub-surface technological development of industrial and civil infrastructure, and clear separation of concerns between the technologically intelligent species on the respective planets may avoid the incompatibility of multiple technologically intelligent, resource-constrained species in a shared space (more research would be needed closer to the time of expected events but the possible predominant usage to Solar-System resource bases by the advanced surface species, vs initially planetary resource bases by the subsurface species may greatly contribute to the solution of the assumed problem).

We will have plenty of time to become big and strong but we'll be stronger if we stand (or just inadvertently help others stand) united (at least on the most important issues) - locally and probably (for others) regionally (or even galactically). This applies internally to ourselves as a species and (with the assumption of the existence of intelligent aquatic species Updated 2/2/2024 and the existence of sub-surface species in our Solar System) as the natives of a given star.

Ultimately, together (both as a species and as the assumed Solar natives) we'll do best by demonstrating (at the most optimal pace, to ourselves and others) the peaceful and synergetic coexistence of the various groupings of the human cultures (and, as assumed, the native Solar species, safely separated by the nature of the habitats and eventually probably by the set oceanic and on Venus and Mars surface boundaries). If this scenario proves to be true, only the future can tell what additional benefits such a coexistence would lead to. We have some time before the Solar System realities become crystal clear, let's continue to spend thought and effort on improving our already evident certainties in the ways we can.
