I consider the premise stupid/silly. Telephatic virus? Really? REALLY?

Actually, it's more of a thing that the virus has an individual working similairly to how a single neuron functions in a standard brain. Insects tend to do it.
Probably stunts the brain a fair bit or the telepathy just hammers too much of it down to actually have much use other than the basic functions.
Point is, they work like ants; You place a hundred of them on a table and they'll march themselves to death in a circle but if you get a few million...well.
That's why they don't really do much untill you get the full ten.
Come to think of it, stunting the central nervous system like that is actually a rather decent tactical idea. You have one and he's not really worth jack shit while a full alien storage is just a fucking security breach waiting to happen. One additional alien to kill is all the difference you can have between a promoted rookie and a dead elite every now and then.
Ten are far worse than that hassle.

Interestingly neough, that image doesn't make it any less stupid.
Viruses, construct smaller then cells, having telepathic ability. I enver heard anything so redicolous in my life. Alien ponies farting deadly rainbows would make more sense.
The alien virus conquering galaxies and beign stopped by are tiny planet?
Now, if the virus altered the brain to make is succeptabel to telephatic suggestion/dominance...if the alien empire was not TAHT big..if it was in turmoil/war or something, so that it not WTFPWNing Earth in 5 minutes makes sense.... it would be different matter.

A intelligent virus or a biomass that eat planets to become a mega huge brain - i always love the obscure stories of ufo games :D

Well humans are almost always the last line of defence. If you take a look at movies like I-Day, Transformers and Battlefield Earth etc. Humans are the superior race in the universe. ;)
