The Birthing Season
Before the Grand Lord could address his subjects he insisted on wearing his new clothes..
"Order!, Order in the council chambers."
"Good people, as you know the Birthing Season is upon us once again. However, this season if we do not expand our Colony we will soon perish as a species."
a wave of murmering and whispers spreads across the council chambers as people digest this sad but true fact.
"But fear not, our good colony minister 'Mr. Columbus' has a bold plan to expand our colony to nearby planets and even neighbouring star systems."
The gathered crowd takes in a sharp gasp at this announcement.
"I know the idea of leaving your home world is a frightening one, but it is a necessary evil that we must embrace if we are to survive. I now put forth a call for vollenteers to brave the new frontiers that we shall discover. So any who would like the Honor and Gratitude of your fellow citizens please report to the Colony Minister for your new off-world assignments."
Surprisingly the vast majority of people raise their hands in excitement. Eager to become pioneers in this bold new era. The grand Lord was sure this overwhelming interest was due to his wearing his new clothes.
Let the games begin again. 
Cheers!
