2402.8 The Swedish Nation - Shameful display of incompetence.

The head of the foreign ministery sneaked into Ruatha's office.
"-We haven't heard anything from the Vorlons about that covert war threat you sent them Last month.
But they have responded to an earlier message we sent, and the trade of ships between our two empires has ben completed. We now have access to a gas colony ship.


"-Oh, I see.
Hmm, how do we save this then.
You've really messed things up this time Areld!
You better start thinking of strategies to fix this!


"-But, But...
It was you who told me what message to send!

"-Do you have that in writing? If you don't I urge you to stop making these wild accusations, they can be hazardous for your health.
You'll bear the full responsibility for any actions the Vorlons might take regarding your nasty message to them."

"-I.. I.. I Don't know what to say..
I said it might not be an altogether good idea to threaten them...
But.. but.. as you say... I'd better start thinking up someway to fix this, shouldn't I??

"-Yes, you'd better do that.
I don't want to talk to you again until this matter is taken care of.
You may leave now!"

The head of the foreign ministry left confused and scared, stumbling against the doorpost on the way out.

Ruatha felt the tension inside him rise again.
Why do I surround myself with these imcompetent people. I do hope the Vorlons won't be upset becouse of the misjudgement of Areld, he thought.
