In the main chamber the Galacia Federa Judiciary waited. Ariel and Ljne about to make their entrance. Holli was sat talking to Bsek. She had not received an update on the latest re the attack on Cflenia. That worried her, Her thoughts were distracted as into the chamber stepped two female figures, they bowed and then moved to stand, to one side.
Behind them two other females now entering the chamber. ‘Imperium Elect of the Cflen I present to you of the 1st Seed of our Holy mother, Geanne. As our appointed legal counsel, Ljne.“ There was an air about her, a confidence that was more than apparent, as she bowed to them, left Ariel to approach the front. Stopping yards from the Judiciary.
"I beg leave to speak which is my right, before you make final judgment, to those present, for and on behalf of my people. That was her right and Ljne knew it, they could only agree. She turned to face those present. "The Humana are quick to bind us with legalities.
To impress on others they have deceived into believing what is the truth when it seldom is to gain pecuniary advantage or to seek to sow the seeds, like some abhorrent Petty, of discord.
When they are faced with the truth, when the full force of the law is brought against them they howl. DO we not, have YOU not seen them across the galaxies claim this is the law and then change the rules when it suits them, often when those they challenge are weaker? Those who have no choice BUT to accept the new rules?
Yesterday, my home world Cflenia was attacked and invaded by..“ She paused, turned and glared at Holli. “Humana forces, intent on destruction, killing and the subjugation of my people. There is NO doubt given, the strength and purpose of the attack that heavy casualties would have been incurred, were it not for our brave Gladiator Cflen."
There was uproar. Holli now challenged her accusations. Ljne turned, nodded to Ariel. She left to return seconds later with two Cflen carrying an imaging device.
Placed at the front, where the entire assembly could watch. “These images do NOT lie, they clearly show the markings, the craft the attacks the troopers and the BEAST in all its glory violating our home world. Eyes watched transfixed, the sat from space showing the drum? The craft vanishing, eaten up by the dark matter?
“THAT device is ILLEGAL “ Ljne did not flinch. “If the BEAST had not violated our space our home world we would NOT, have had to use it. What guarantee had we that they would not have returned after having regrouped, re-armed for another attack against our people? They gave us, when they broke Intergalacia law by illegally entering our worlds, NO CHOICE BUT to DEFEND ourselves.
To some of you, our response may seem a little extreme, BUT let me tell you now and I want those who feed with the Humana, trade with them, nest with them to understand. If the BEAST, wants a war with the Cflen to make war, on the Cflen and you aid them in any way, we will USE IT, not just against them, but against you!"
Ljne bowed, the two Cflen took the imaging device, following her as she stepped out of the chamber with Ariel.
The two Cflen Gladiator waiting until the last before they too were gone.
Holli detected once again, more hostility towards the Humana. It would come to an abrupt silence as the door flew open and in rushed a figure to bow “Your Imperial Elect I must inform you that some fifty A class and over one hundred M class Cflen vessels, have stationed themselves above this planet!“
"This is an outrage!" The Judiciary excused itself. An emergency meeting. "Galacia Federa forces are already on their way."
