# Status Report
Captain's Log SD27X1
While Malkonkordo is equipped for battle in space, it is not prepared to go to
war with the likes of the Pertulit Empire, especially after the damages endured
during our civil war aboard the ship. For this reason, while on Starbloom we
worked out a trade agreement with the residents of the Projection to gather the
necessary supplies to begin the creation of Fortakune, a military vessel with
the combined power and might of both Dekaosans and Starbloom. The vessel is
currently still in construction, but with the aid of both nations, together we
are making quick work of getting the vessel prepared to embark on its voyage
into the cosmos. The destiny for the Malkonkordo will be to remain on Starbloom
and transition from being a vessel to being a city for the Dekaosans who will
not be joining Fortakune.
However, while Fortakune was originally created for the purpose of wiping out
the Pertulit Empire, during our time in Starbloom we have discovered that
Alportas Majeston may have arrived at the wrong conclusion as to who destroyed
Dekaoso Prime. While going over our combined star maps and observing the known
sectors of space where we last encountered the Pertulits we found it to be
desolate, lifeless, and without the usual signs of scavenged planets in the
neighboring systems that follow the course of the Pertulits. In fact, when
analyzing the impact to Dekaoso Prime to determine the origin of the attacker
based on the possible trajectories, it comes from nowhere near where we would
expect the Pertulits to reside. Which leaves us with two main possibilities:
either the Pertulits are nowhere near where we expected them to be and got
there without any of the usual traces they leave or Dekaoso Prime was destroyed
by someone else.
This discovery and its implications have led to a new realization that should
have been quite obvious to us beforehand. Before, the Dekaosan Empire would
seek out other worlds to conquer and destroy in the name of Sinjorino Diino,
but that was the only reason we did so, because we believed it to be our right
to eliminate weakness from the universe. However, after losing our home planet
and being lost in space it became quite clear how small the universe is in
respect to the resources available to all of the collective worlds living
within it. Only due to the nature of the Projection were we able to seek refuge
on Lucky Homes, but any other world would not be as welcoming. In fact, given
the precedent set by the Dekaosan Empire of destroying any world that should
reveal itself to our gaze, it should really be in the best interest of any
world to eliminate any other discovered on principle, in fear that they may try
to do the same to them.
It was from this set of implications that we discovered the more likely case of
Dekaoso Prime's destruction, once the location of our planet was discovered
through the metadata in our messages, at least one of the worlds listening
decided it would be best to destroy us. They could have chosen to do so because
of the destructive nature of the Dekaosans, or just because we were another
world that could compete with their own for resources in the galaxy in the
future. Regardless, it was from our arrogance and hubris that led to the loss
of our world. However, we are still planning to set off on Fortakune to travel
the stars, but with a new goal in mind. The Projection did not care for our
desire to destroy the other worlds to protect them, but we came to a compromise
that aligns with our interests and their morals and ethics: we will go our to
discover any signs of life in the universe and document exactly where they are
relative to their neighboring stars in three dimensional space. With this
information documented, should we ever discover them becoming a threat to
Starbloom we can use the threat of broadcasting their location into the Quantum
Entanglement Communicator as a means to deter them from causing any trouble
with their world. This threat can be trusted on the grounds that the Projection
is not inheritly violent due to them allowing another world to live among them
on their planet without having destroyed them on principle.
This is what Fortakune will seek to complish, demonstrating the strength of our
two worlds without the implicit destructions of any worlds. To bring about peace
to our shared world without ever going to war.
Together, we will survive.
