Captain's Log SD2735
|
|
|
|
First, a note on our extended absense and a status update.
|
|
After the last broadcast from Malkonkordo, the cultural division brought to my
|
|
attention that based on their calculations Dekaoso Prime was observing Kvieta de
|
|
Ses, and so we were observing this blessed of traditions.
|
|
Now that the meditations and fasting inside the sensory deprivation chambers
|
|
have come to an end, the Malkonkordo is back online and we were delighted to
|
|
find the auto-pilot systems safely brought Malkonkordo within orbit of Enketu
|
|
Tri.
|
|
We will remain in orbit until SD2740, until then we be using our instruments to
|
|
take data, samples, and study the planet while we await the arrival of any
|
|
vessels that wish to assist us in bringing our communication systems back
|
|
online.
|
|
|
|
With the formalities out of the way I bring my attention to you, Corpal Sam
|
|
Arnold of the Space Cruiser Excelsior.
|
|
Unless if I am mistaken, the 500 people in your craft are meant to more or less
|
|
be breeding stock for your species to populate and roam across another planet.
|
|
To destroy them would not be in your own or your people's best interests unless
|
|
if your species has the means to asexually reproduce.
|
|
This differs from our understanding of the situation with Hoffnung, which
|
|
appeared to be some form of idealistic take over where death was used as a tool
|
|
to remove the potential non-believers that would stand in their way.
|
|
In this way, the potential non-believers were weak for trusting themselves with
|
|
potential "extremists" (as you put it) without any safety guards on their part.
|
|
To live a life so care-free and trusting of those who motives that are unknown,
|
|
it should be no surprise to find their life was taken by an opportunist who saw
|
|
their vulnerabilities.
|
|
Should you, Corpal Sam Arnold, continue to live this way you risk meeting the
|
|
same fate.
|
|
|
|
Furthermore, your routine arrogance continues to amuse us.
|
|
We agree with your assertion that trying to catch a moving target (let alone one
|
|
moving near or beyond the speed of light) would not yield ideal results, but you
|
|
also have to slow down and/or stop eventually.
|
|
You said it yourself, the Space Cruiser Excelsior is in search of another
|
|
inhabitable planet and it will be that planet that we will find you.
|
|
Space may be vast, but so is the outreach of the Dekaosans as it continues to
|
|
grow through the efforts of our research and colonizing vessels.
|
|
|
|
I will be fair, though, that since we are communicating over quantum
|
|
entanglement communication you may be able to escape the grasps of the Dekaosans
|
|
through whatever gap in time is between us.
|
|
However, should time keep you and your crew apart from the gift of Diino we are
|
|
willing to settle.
|
|
Should you leave behind any offspring on this new planet you plan to inhabit
|
|
with the 500 people you have spared eliminating now, we will be sure to finish
|
|
the job the removing their weakness from the universe to serve the mission
|
|
bestowed to us by Sinjorino.
|
|
In fact, the roles of the time gap could be reversed and my people have already
|
|
found and purged you or your decendant's weakness from the universe.
|
|
Should we regain communications with Dekaoso Prime, I'll have someone check our
|
|
records so I can let you know if we already have.
|
|
It would be the first time we had the ability to inform the weak of their
|
|
certified demise ahead of time, and I am very curious to see if knowing about
|
|
now would give you the ability to try and escape your fate.
|
|
A hunt through time certainly sounds like a task our soldiers would be eager to
|
|
take up, it should help break up the monotany that interstellar genocide of
|
|
extraterrestrials tends to bring them.
|
|
|
|
Praise be to the Sinjorino and Alportas Majeston.
|
