Nice to get it a couple turns early. Though I would almost prefer T130 as that would mean they can't cancel prior to T140. i wouldnt worry about that, they need the happies too much.
Please don't go. The drones need you. They look up to you.

Surprise! Turns out I'm a girl!
Hmm, did they hook up the source earlier than they said, or do they have a second source hidden somewhere in the fog?

Nice to get it a couple turns early. Though I would almost prefer T130 as that would mean they can't cancel prior to T140. They will be unlikely to cancel early on us, I think. As someone said previously (Seven? I'm not digging through the thread to find out), a short-term happy cap increase is of very little value, so they'll want to keep that deal going as long as possible. Even if they had all their cities at the happy cap and tiles improved for all of the extra population for the 10-15 turns of the deal, it's still a terrible trade for them. I seriously doubt they meet either of those conditions, so the trade is correspondingly worse. They'll want to find a way to make the trade permanent. Hopefully this can drag out long enough so that there is at some point a severe diplomatic misunderstanding sufficient to give us casus belli for a war dec. 
We tend to power game and meta game and review every other possible other angle, too. I don't think everyone puts in the same level of effort we do, so maybe a few teams will try to get them to stop trading with us. But I doubt much more than that.
