Volume 0 (30): Dread for a decadent civilization.

Chapter 30 : Confederation Meeting Part 3.

The Congress Hall has an uproar of emotions from a lot of the Delegations, is not unusual to have a New Species with high ego, on the contrary, is quite common, almost being the norm on this events.

The majority demand an apology along with compensation for the "Offense" committed by the Hûrngöth, and the Main Moderator an Anthropoid Goat Entity with black formal suit and red tie is no exception.

‡—The compensation is stablish at 2,500 quintillions (Real quintillions has 30 zeros) of Crwdz, an apology is less valuable but we can accept that as a starter …

Marshack simply ignores any comments from the Main Moderator until the Empress of the "Mathirn", the mantis like Species spoke to the latter directly ‡—Enough with this nonsense, we are a Confederation not a Federation, the Current Sovereign of the Hûrngöth has said nothing wrong, if the borders of his domain are closed to the rest is their right …

Nevertheless a Species was defended by the Mathirn, much less being excuse by the Empress herself interceding for a rude newcomer.

The sudden silence in the Hall is abrasive and Marshack doesn't really care much about it, but is obvious how interested the Mathirn are on them.

‡—Current Sovereign of the Mathirn, there is no need for your intervention, still is appreciated, as a sign of our good will and respect for your kind, we accept the petition to have a Diplomatic Relationship, more than that can be discuss privately between us.

The words are misinterpreted by some, others dismay on the spot for the scandalous statement to the ruler of the most Powerful Empire in 3 of the 8 Galaxies they are present.

While the Receiver of the sentence let her insectile wings to be seen, the translucent green material emits a pink glow not different than a blush.

Which only exacerbates the situation when the Current Sovereign of the Jitaris interferes in the conversation ‡—I would like to participate in this event too, it is so unusual to find a Ruler with unwavering guts, conviction and resolve that doesn't hide behind politics or a large number of "Allies" …

The meaning of this proclamation was clear, everyone aside the Hûrngöth doesn't deserve the attention of the Jitaris.

After all, why someone would like to have by its side a "Friend" that it is not going to back you up?.

Much less an "Ally" that can't intercede to support you, defend you or demonstrate their disposition strongly.

When you are the maximum Authority of a Species, the wellbeing of the population is the priority, however, there is an unfathomable difference between being cautious and/or respectful, compared to simply bowing to external pressure for fear of the consequences.

This debate continues for a few minutes before being resumed the Introduction of New Species.

Another two hours passed, the following part of the schedule "Possible Additions" comes into force.

As everyone who could posess a dim reasoning would be able to predict, the addition of the Jitaris as a "Member" of the Confederation occurs immediately, this is the highest designation of the three a newcomer can receive inside of the five Confederation Ranks.

And the first thing the Current Sovereign of the Jitaris do is something unthinkable ‡—I have a liking for the Hûrngöth, if they are not a Member too, we leave this Confederation.

The Main Moderator is fuming literally from his nosetril, the Best Species since the "Mathirn" and the now extinct "Pioneer" stablish the Confederation, are warning them using their berely bestowed role as a hostage to give the Hûrngöth the same Rank.

Silence thrives again in the Congress Hall, to be a Member, the capacity of the Species should be known, but aside of the name or the current apparency, there is not more information about them.

The reluctant of more than three sevenths of the present Delegations is evident while the rest is just to scared or preoccupied about more pertinent matters to pay the appropriate attention to an obvious outcome.

‡—I think there is nothing to discuss on this decision … ; Commented the Current Sovereign of the "Gnardim", a small and physically weak Anthropoid Species, no taller than one Vul and a half (75 cm), dark yellow skin, bright blue Proto Plasma irises with white rhomboid pupils surrounded by the greyness of their eyes.

Hairless with pointy long horizontal ears and absence of nose on their faces, still, they have 2 horizontal nostrils slits in the middle of their cheeks, males as the Current Sovereign, have 3 brown spiral horns pointing to the sky, females have 5 red horns over her heads that goes backwards and points to the ground.

Their attire is similar to the previous Suit the Hûrngöth wear, with one difference, they don't have a Slaidt or something similar as the Jitaris.

The Current Sovereign of the Gnardim speaks again »‡—The Mathirn and the Jitaris are interested on the Hûrngöth, why all of you don't understand, they have something to offer, but only those as advance as this two Species are aware of, to the extent of leaving the Confederation, am i wrong Current Sovereign of the Mathirn?.

The Empress reply ‡—Is as you express Current Sovereign of the Gnardim, "We" Mathirn as a Founding Members will not continue in the Confederation if the Hûrngöth are not accepted, so interpret this as you please, but they are a better Ally than the rest of you combined.

The silence permeates the Congress Hall once more, and the overall situation of the Galaxy or the borders on other Galaxies are not in the best conditions to let the bulk of the military power of the Mathirn go away.

The voting begins and again the decision can be predicted with simplicity, as unanimity is the result, welcoming the Hûrngöth to the Confederation as a "Member".

Other votes are carried out to determine new possible Members, Integrants or Affiliates as well to Rank up a Member into a Core Member, which in the end resulted in no new Members with the Core designation.

Finishing, the third and final part of the schedule begins "Subjects of Interest", starting with the hostile behavior of the Ludbarian across their borders.

Not only on this Galaxy or against the Confederation in concrete, their attacks are broad and spread around towards anyone close enough to them.

Still, they are not the only Hostiles, the borders of the the recent conquest territory of the Mathirn to acquire their presence over 9 Galaxies has made them contact the "Avizjiel".

A name the Hûrngöth hear once, and a dangerous enemy of the Jitaris, unfortunately, this is not the end, as the Main Moderator demeanor changes showing solemnity.

‡—Your attention please, i heard from the Main seat of the Procterian Assembly, the Remanents are on rampage once more …

The mass disbelief creates an uproar of panic, the Remanents are an extremely belligerent nomadic Species, their capabilities are so feared that only societies with multiple Galaxies or based on Militaristic Indoctrination fight them back Head On.

»‡— Order!, this is not all … ; The Main Moderator expression turns ugly as he pronounce the sentence »‡—The Wölfznsatch proliferation on the Layers is increasing exponentially, "The Procterian Protectorate" and the "Hellaven Duality" had asked for our help on this regard, the importance of the Layers unprecedentedly exceeds the previous mentioned threats, those who can reinforce the borders will be compensated, and those with enough Militar Strength are asked to partake an active role against the pests the Wölfznsatch represent to everyone …
