EPISODE 1: INTRODUCTION
Arakfu, leader of the Shantis, stood up. "How can the United Worlds Federation act up on a galactic level if it remains such a secondary force?"
"I didn't know we were even a 'secondary force'." sneered Ar'thul, a Varan.
"Well, what do you suggest?" the representant of the Altarian system of Guernevy retorted.
"If the Shanti representative had a suggestion, we would be discussing it!" cut the senate leader, a massive, four armed Baltar. "The point of the Shanti representative is to get suggestions."
"We could join one of the larger council." pointed out a Jinguisem represantative whose name nobody could pronounce.
"This is an idea I support." the Dihanar announced.
It was an heated discussion, especially considering that many races despised the idea of losing influence by joining a larger alliance, but it was finally voted at 43 vs 24. The United World Federation would join with a council whose philosophy was similar: to allow smaller nation to play a role by uniting them together.
On the 24 september 2546, human notation, the United World Federation joined the Diplomats Council.
EPISODE 2: INTRUDING THE SENATE
Impressed delegates circulated in the whole building. The mineral Shupass discussed with Üxkolak, former leader of the Federation.
"You know, it actually seems that we can act out our message much more effectively here." The cave-dwelling alien said.
"It was to be expected. Not only do we are allied to people many of us never met before, but they can help us contact others, even farther away." the larger one replied.
"This place is gorgeous!" The Rodaerot Queen exclaimed, passing by, and they both did whatever in their race's body language was an equivalent of palming one's forehead.
Accepting a female leader in the United World Federation had caused an extremely heated debate, nearly a scission, and it was a still often regretted decision.
"What is in there?" She said, approaching an immense arch's control panel to deactivate the opaque energy field closing it.
"NO!" The two other delegates ran (Or whatever they did) to her. "That is the Council Chamber!"
They reached just as the field shut down and closed their sensory receptors.
"We are not allowed in there!" A'ou'p's, the shupass, explained, trying to drive the Queen away, but she used her mental power to mind-slap him as he unfortunately reached into a more private area of her body. She grunted.
"Come on! It's not like they seem to mind!" She cheered them up.
Their eyes opened in surprise, and they could see that she was right. None of the dozen or so senate members seemed to notice them.
"Let's try not to get noticed." Üxkolak sensibly suggested, and he hurried them up toward sieges in a farther away section of the immense room.
These people certainly liked to go out gargantuanly.
EPISODE 3: GUEST WRITER
By PeacePhoenix
They reached the sieges and sat down. But it didn't help them to lurk into the senate debate: for an unknown reason, they couldn't hear anything useful from the senators. It looked like some powerful device was in place that transformed the senate debate in pure noise, even for people with lip- or mind-reading capabilities.
They were staring at each other trying to determine what to do next when they saw a orange light approching them. As the light was closing in to them, they saw that it had a bird shape. Finally, a orange-red and yellow phoenix was left standing before them and spoke peacefully:
"Greetings new members. As I see, you have tried to access an unauthorized area. But it doesn't matter since the control panel and the associated force field was just here to let us know who would try to access the council chamber. As you can see, we have a better way of assuring the privacy of the debate. Only senators are allowed to participated. Those who aren't allowed can't intercept the debates."
The phoenix added: "The security team is very proud of their achievement. As soon as they find a security breach, they close it.
Have a good day".
And the phoenix left them in the same way it has come.
EPISODE 4: OLD-AGE AGES-OLD ELVES
--2 weeks later--
"Üxkolak! Look at this!" Arakfu whispered excitedly to the leader in the next siege.
"Yeah. I've noticed. 'Audience for accession of the Elven Confederation'. This is going to be good."
At this moment, the delegation entered the room, wearing classical age tunics.
"Excuse me," said a voice behind them. Looking back, they could see it was the Vandycan represantative. "but I couldn't help overhearing your convesration. Do you know of them?"
"Most definitely" snorted Arakfu. "The Elven Confederation is from the same Galactic Arm as we were, but due to an unfortunate diplomatic blunder..." At this point, he glared toward the Rodaerot Queen, a dozen seats to his right. "They wouldn't want anything to do with us, not even a commercial treaty."
"That's rather harsh."
"They are extremely chauvinistic." Üxkolak pointed out. "And it's not like they have any reason!"
"Tell me about it." the Maahk delegate piped in from his other side. "Their technology is nearly 2 centuries late!"
"Their last important breakthrough was the iron-Lead peroxyde as stabilisator in slower-than-light propulsors." Arakfu added, rolling his eyes. "Their civilization has been declining for nearly a millenia."
One of the Maahk's secondary eyes suddenly caught something. The main delagate's tunic seemed to somehow be unbuttoning all by itself. (these old-age tunics are closed with buttons on the backside)
"Uh, people, I think someone is going to cause another diplomatic incident!"
He nodded at the queen, and they all turned sharply their eyes at her to see that she was concentrating and looking intently at the Elven delegate with a very non-engaging smile (or whatever it was) across her face.
"This is not good!" Arakfu said, getting up.
EPISODE 5: DIPLOMATIC INCIDENTS 101
Üxkolak and Grek-6, the Maahk,followed suit. Vandycan, slightly confused, stayed there looking as they ran along the row of seats, knocking down the sleepy Varan delegate in the process.
In a grinding noise of abused metal (thanks to the baltar's sharp claws), they stopped behind the queen. Focussed on her task, she didn't notice them until Arakfu slapped her behind the head. Sputtering and surprised, she let go of her telepathic manipulation in such a sharp way that the Elven High Delegate's tunic was neatly ripped in half and the parts sent to opposed sides of the audition podium.
"Uh oh." was the only think that could come to Arakfu's mind. The Rodaerot queen blushed a short moment before exploding in what could only be described as "ultrasonic fits of hysterical laughs".
Several screams of horror echoed across the room, and a young Yadel prince fainted.
The delegate's body was entirely covered with horrid suppuring tumors*. Covering himself the best he could, he somehow managed to yell his anger so that even without the microphone, he could be heard across the whole small-town-sized room.
He snatched his robe, which seemed to have fallen over a small greenish box with a symbol in a language unknown to anmybody present. The severed fabric element, however, apparently got caught on some sort of lever. The extremely annoyed, and now quite embarrassed delegate tugged sharply on it, incidentally pulling the lever.
The engine emitted a "Beep", which repeated itself every 2 seconds, then every 1 and half, and so on with an accelerating rate. An alarm suddenly blared.
"Oh NO!" Weapon Master Vandycan exclaimed. "Everybody get out of the room! NOW!"
*The degeneration afflicting the Elves is not only moral and scientific, but also physical. they are sickly and extremely prone to terminal-type illness. Most panimmunity treatment can do little to help them.
EPISODE 6: QHAT'S GOING ON BEHIND THAT ARCH?
Grek-6 and the Vandycan leaned against the wall, their breaths wheezing.
"Just what was in that box?" the methan-breathing alien asked.
"Some sort of nasty mutant proteo-virus we found on the third moon of Guitry XV." the Weapon Master explained.
"And what does it do?" Grek-6 pushed further.
"I don't know. We haven't tested it on anything yet." The maahk stared at him with his front eyes.
Then, the intercom went alive.
"Hey! Let me out! I don't wanna miss the fun." said an annoyed voice.
Grek-6 clapped his hand on his knee, equivalent to his race of rolling his eyes. Yet they had made sure the damned one was toroughfully unconscious before exiting.
"I can see you!" she said threateningly as the Vandycan suddenly felt his feet giving up under him. Everybody looked at him as he started floating in mid-air.
"Hey! What's that cloud?" the Rodaetor exclaimed. "OoooOOoh! Pretty colors!"
Then a thudding sound and a beefy security operator lunged to catch the Vandycan before he fell to the ground, landing in a group of korrigans.
Grek-6 looked at Arakfu and A'ou'p's.
"So, what now? Do we open the door?" He asked in his race's usual raspy tone.
INTERLUDE 1: CHARACTER SURVEY
ARAKFU
Race: Shanti
Sex: Male
1rst Apparition: Episode 1
Arakfu is leader of his race, elected among family leaders (The Shantis work as an enlightened Oligarchy), he always try to work out the best for everybody.
Shantis have inverted knees, no body hair, a pale brown skin, small horns in plac of ears and no bones in their hands. Their brain is very logical and they are specialist in electronics. Their traditional enemies are the Papinists.
ÜXKOLAK
Race: Baltar
Sex: Male
1rst Apparition: Episode 1
Üxkolak could be best desribed as an elected "king", since he is the only elected leader in his homeworld's political structure. Baltars have four arms on two shoulders and small butting horns, looking slightly like goatish demons.
A'OU'P'S
Race: Shupass
Sex: Unknown
1rst Apparition: Episode 2
A'ou'p's is not sure just how he got where he is currently. It seems that he simply was the only voluntary to this position.
Shupussi are a mineral-based lifeform native to the cave of an errant planet without a sun. They see things with a radar-type sense and feeds of special radiations emitted by their planet's soil. (sing. Shupass, pl. Shupussi)
THE RODAEROT QUEEN
Race: Rodaerot
Sex: Female
1rst Apparition: Episode 2
The Rodaerot Queen is a bubbly, airy, blonde-ish hereditary queen. While she is technically a female from a purely biological point of views, her species' sexual anatomic characteristics are inverted from those of many races. The Rodaerots are powerful psions.
GREK-6
Race: Maahk
Sex: Neutral
1rst Apparition: Episode 3
Grek-6 is not originally a politician: he is a fleet commander who justhappened to be in the area when the UWF was formed, and was appointed as his people's representative. He tends to be slightly confused about discussed issues.
Mahks are wider than tall, they have a rigid neck and a banana-shaped head with 2 eyes at each extremity giving them a 360-degree vision. They are at hime most in methan-based atmosphere and while they have humanoid hands, their arms are extremely flexible.
"Just Mentionned" characters and races:
Ar'thul: A varan
Altarians
Jinguisems
Dihanars
Elves: Atlantean, Perseid, Tucanid, Achernar High Elves and some other whose names I can't remember right now.
