2403.3

The Alteri had many new things to think of, especially First Speaker. Two new races the Free Democratic Socialist Republic of Bhrzvfbk, and the Argon Confederation had only recently been encountered. The borders available for future exploration and colonization where rapidly shrinking. First Speaker found this deeply troubling. On the other hand two of the three races had stated an interest in an exchange of knowledge that would allow for the colonization of new types of worlds.
The Rorg had briefly spoken on this topic when first encountered but nothing much had come of it. Recently the Free Democratic Socialist Republic of Bhrzvfbk had made contact more aggressively for such a trade. Now the Argon Confederation was present and though it had not made an offer based on the actions of the other two races now known First Speaker felt confident in extending them an offer of trade in such knowledge. First Speaker was smiling inwardly at how a three way bidding war between races that were all offering the same basic package might benefit the Alteri. Still it was too soon to be declaring victory just yet. The two new races where very much unknown quantities and while no official communications with the Argon Confederation had taken place, both the Rorg and the Free Democratic Socialist Republic of Bhrzvfbk had what could only be termed warlike and hostile overtones to past Messages. First Speaker felt certain that the need to expand and create a military War branch was now very necessary. Further delay would not be tolerable.

First Speaker communicated his wishes with those under him directly from their they rapidly spread to other areas. Thanks to the other Firsts giving First Speaker Zyx authority to do whatever was necessary with the aliens his commands and decisions were unquestioned. For the first time ever multiple Firsts were raised all at once, and by the command of only a single First.

First Warrior, First Captain, and many other Firsts all quite in agreement as to future courses of action for the Alteri and all from First Speakers newly come to power. Enough to ensure that the other Firsts could do nothing about it or take any other necessary actions without First Speakers agreement once they became aware of them.

The Alteri Unity had effectively seen it's first governmental overthrow. It was likely the closest thing the Alteri would ever come to a revolution or Civil War.
