2404.8, The Swedish Nation - Armageddon?

Ruatha sat in his comfortable chair discussing with the foreign minister.
The Foreign minister turned towards Ruatha;
"-It seems that the ancient texts might not be all wrong after all!

"-Hmm, This "Free Democratic Socialist Republic of Bhrzvfbk" is a strange nation, I agree. But to say that they are what the ancients say about religious races is somewhat premature I belive!


"-Haven't you seen the communications we've had with them?
First they send us a proposal for a non-agression treaty while we propose the same treaty that all other alien races have accepted, trade and exploration.
Then they say "Our offer was better. Our agreement will stand as long as you respect the spirit of it. Assimilation into the beard of Marx is inevitable. We disagree with the exploration." and then when we accept their treaty proposal and withdraw our ship they get upset!


"-There must be a reason that they won't let us explore, on this I agree. But what can it be?

"-Isn't it obvious? They're building a large aggressive fleet to conquer the galaxy, and they don't want us to see it!


"-It could be true! I can't see any other reason.
Very well, send out the codeword Armageddon to all ship yards!


"-Good, should I send codeword Ragnarok to the military now?


"-No, not yet.
I'm not yet prepared to throw away 600 years of peace that fast.
But we must know if they are preparing for an attack.
I think the scout ships should try to pass the outskirts of their territory and try to get a peek at what they are up to. Transmit that order to the scout ship.


"-I shall see to it at once.


The foreign minister left in a fast pace with a determined look upon his face.
