"When I'm doing survey runs, sometimes I find inhabited planets. If they're at a high enough technology level that they have data nets I can analyze from space, I find a physicist on their planet who shows signs of liking to plagiarize, and then I transport down and leave plans for warp drive on their desk, and then I fly away and wait for their warp signature to pop up and let them into the Federation if they want to join."
