Volume 0 (31): Dread for a decadent civilization.

Chapter 31 : Confederation Meeting Part 4.

The petition from the Main Moderator is well received for one third of the Delegations in the Congress Hall.

The production, recollection and subsequent trade of the resources nurtured on those territories is necessary for the sustenance of their overall economy, encompassing the General Population, Private Companys and Matters of State.

However, more than half of the restant Delegations are completely against this proposal.

While the threat posed by the Wölfznsatch cannot be ignored due to their incredible fast reproduction, it does not reach the extreme that the Main Moderator is making it seem, since the Remanents or the Avizjiel are a more dangerous and twisted enemy.

Both mentioned Species can enter with impunity the domains of all the races present on the Congress Hall, with a single Battle Cruiser are capable of devastating the defenses of an entire Solar System in the quarter of a standard day (12.5 human hours) without much difficulty, plundering the local resources, including the population, before any countermeasures can be deployed or executed.

The first one to retort on this, are the Current Sovereign of the Prinean ‡—We as Core Members reject the petition, the Ludbarian are present in our borders in two Galaxies, and already attack us, the only ones with the Militar Strength and Closeness to the conflict here, on this Galaxy, are the Hûrngöth, not to mention, we, the Prinlot and Neandl, don't use the Layers or the Stream Flow to travel, this doesn't affect us, but if we lost against the Ludbarian, everyone on this Galaxy aside the Mathirn or the Hûrngöth, are going to suffer the consequences, so be mindful and measure your support before taking a decision.

The next one to step up is the Current Sovereign of the Gnardim ‡—As a Core Member, I reject the petition in the name of my people, the Remanents are the only possible threat to us, "Of the previous mentioned ones", and there is a lot of other Species closer to the areas they could raid …

»‡—More important though, are the "Formickrean", they are a threat more relevant than the Wölfznsatch, not only they proliferate faster, have actual capabilities of travel in the Stream Flow, tarnish holes in the Layers and break apart the fabric of the Existence to allow aberrations from other Realms, Dimensions or "Different Planes of Another Existences" …

Condescendingly express »‡—Why you are not informing about this Main Moderator?, i take the time to provide the intel directly to your office, on several occasions, not only that, i clearly emphasized how the appearance of the Formickrean would result in the fall of a secluded food producing sector for the Ludbarian …

Serious he says »‡—This is unrelated to the attack to the Prinean, still, they are severated from the rest of their forces because the Formickrean took control over the "Straight Tubular Connection" on Ludbarian domain that links them to other 2 Galaxies, this means at least 7 Galaxies have a growing and increasing population of Formickrean …

His mocking and sarcastic tone is unmistakable »‡—But sure, the formidable Wölfznsatch jumping towards one or two Layers in which they will have to share preys or compete against the local predators are a more urgent matter.

The evident show of incompetence from the Main Moderator, is worth a series of reproaches from a lot of Delegations, accompanied by a motion to replace him and demoting their Species Rank from Core Member to just Affiliated, not even Member or Integrant.

The voting starts immediately and the results are display with an hologram in the middle of the Congress Hall.

This option, allows to anyone of the Confederation the possibility of posting anonymously a Suggestion, Question or Motion, and be discarded, accepted or supported with celerity.

Promptly, 89.9% of the Votes in the first Motion are positive to Demote the Rank of the "Shorns" Species with immediate effect.

The second Motion has a 63.7% of acceptance, this stipulate the replacement of the Main Moderator enters in function the next Confederation Meeting in a Standard Week.

A third Motion is to not have a Main Moderator, if not 3 of them belonging to different Species, and has a demolishing 96.4% of support, along with multiple alienations of 3 Species.

The most recurrent one of the Mentioned Species are the Mathirn, as Founding Members are well respected and represent the Confederation Interests on 9 Galaxies now.

Amusingly, someone thought it was funny to agrupate the "Threesome" that it is going to occur in the Reunion after the Meeting, putting the Mathirn along with the Jitaris and Hûrngöth, unexpectedly, this option reach 77.8% of acceptance in a few seconds.

The Current Main Moderator berely can keep his sanity at this outcome, screaming with anger ‡—What kind of sick joke is this?!.

The Current Sovereign of the Gnardim respond ‡—There is no joke, you and your Species didn't reached the standard, as Core Members you must be capable of be informed about this Galaxy matters, ignoring the necessitys of others that sign up for the Confederation while being in charge of the Moderation Task always result on at least 2 Ranks less, you should be grateful that your Species remains as a part of the Confederation, an Expulsion, still wouldn't be overboard on this occasion.

The following 3 and a half standard hours are about the actions each Species is going to perform in order to diminish the impact provoked by the multiple threats Attacking or Prowling the Confederation Territorys and resources.

With this subjects settle, the Meeting is concluded and the Reunion started in the next room, The Party Hall.

The majority of Species don't partake on this type of events unless they have something concrete to discuss about it due the differences on anatomy or mindset.

The Hûrngöth are different on this regard, just observing with the [Bicromy] is enough to learn about others, and they are as interested on the Mathirn and Jitaris as both Species are interested on them.

The Prinean and the subsequent addition of the Gnardim Delegation to the conversation results on a really insightful gather of Intel for everyone, along with the promise of visiting each other Domains aside the Hûrngöth Territory.

With the Diplomatic Relationships stablished, and after discussing the role of the Moderators, the Hûrngöth are the first ones to leave the Reunion, followed by the Prinean and Gnardim.

The Empress of the Mathirn and the Tsarina of the Jitaris return to their Ships and leave Nïvarth engaging on a private conversation one with the other ‡—The Hûrngöth we meet today are not like the Hûrngöth i hear about …

Commented the Tsarina, the Empress reply with consciousness ‡—The Hûrngöth i meet before weren't this Evolved, and their attitude even if they put clear limits, weren't as respectful as the Entities of today, still, i would like to be present on the meeting you are going to take with them, just as a precaution, they are hiding something …

‡—They can have all the secrets they desire, i don't mind at all if that means to have another competent Species that can fight back the Avizjiel …

The Empress is surprised and question with measurement ‡—The Situation on the Galaxy we meet weren't that critical, what about the overall situation?.

The Tsarina confess ‡—With the Military Force of the Åwlön we are holding up, but the attacks of the Remanents and a new Straight Tubular Connection made near an unexplored and recently open area are a pitfall …

»‡—The Lakyr are not prepared for what they did, and the Procterian can't Guard appropriately that sector due to conflicts with others and the way their domain is distributed on that Galaxy, at least the Preëmtor can assist, but if a Hiveship or more than 6 Battle Cruisers appear, they are going to wreck the sector, and i don't want to start a war only to be closer to the Avizjiel …

The Empress retorts embarrassed ‡—I didn't Attack the Leonid, we were just defending ourselves …

The Tsarina remarks ‡—Of course, slice them out of two Galaxies and make them return to their Home Galaxy is "Defending" yourself …

‡—It is, that way, the Avizjiel have less access to food …

Both Sovereigns start laughing, clearly they think alike and their Alliance is needed in order to destroy or at least purge the Avizjiel from the Galaxies they domain.
