I'm currently planning series of stories in a futuristic sci-fi setting which would involve an alien race attempting to invade the human empire (or republic, hegemony, kritarchy, stratocracy or whatever) and am looking for help to brainstorm out a few f the ideas and concepts to make them a little more well framed within the story.
The basic layout I have at the moment is set just as humans have begun to expand out into space. They have a few well developed worlds and a number of newly colonised outposts mainly centered around Earth, which is still the hub of the race. In recent years before the story starts the humans have been at war with a race who initially had far superior technology to the humans, but during the course of the war the humans managed to capture enough tech to be able to retro-engineer ships, facilities and vehicles to a point where they can pose a viable threat to the aliens.
Faced with the war turning against them the aliens called a truce and have begun diplomatic communications with the humans, sending ambassadors to try and bring about peaceful co-existence between the two races. Or at least that's what they claim to be doing. In truth their ambassadors are agents sent to take control of the human leadership via the use of sex and mind-control.
At the moment I'm leaning towards setting the first story of the series being set on a military convoy, sent to escort the ambassadors to either a neutral planet or an outlying human colony world where initial discussion would take place. After meeting with the aliens members of the ship crews would start to act erratically, and after some investigations the protagonist would discover the mind-control, before succumbing to the power themselves.
The parts I'm needing help with are working out the exact system for how this mind-control would be applied and how it would work, as well as deciding exactly who the protagonist should be. So far I've thought of something akin to an energy produced by the alien as they orgasm, necessitating sexual contact between them and members of the human crews in order to take control of them.
The mind control would have to be:
One thought I had was that at some point further into the series a hybrid child may be born with the ability to influence both the humans and the aliens, but would this make the child far too powerful as a plot device? And as a quick note, at that point there would be a time jump with the plot, giving enough time for the child to mature into adulthood before getting involved with anything sexual, as well as giving the aliens time to conquer the majority of the human worlds.
Any thoughts, observations, suggestions or abuse you'd like to throw my way will be warmly welcomed. Well, not the abuse, but the rest of it will be.

The mind control would have to be:
- Direct, an alien would have to initiate the effect, and it would not spread between victims without direct action by the aliens
- Persistant, once a human had been affected they would remain under its control from that point onwards without the need for any additional controls
- Insidious, there would be no physical changes to the human to indicate that they'd become 'infected', this includes the use of any implants or items of technology being added to the body
- Fallible, some humans may not be affected by this ability immediately and would be able to escape its effects for a short time or until exposed repeatedly
