Jua’an System ; Space Borders ; Achilles ship
The representatives stood patiently and listened to what ambassador Cazaz had to say. While they made sure to keep their faces as stoic as possible, they all shared the same feeling that the ambassador was being unreasonable, though his sudden question about the Greater Good being related to some form of superstitious God made the acolyte of the Greater Good drop his jaw.
When Cazaz finished his talk the Agent of the Worker’s Union was the first to talk, “I believe we can set an agreed price for an exchange of goods depending on their functions and efficiency. That way, trade can be both beneficial for both of us, though it would require close communications between our people, it will diffidently help bring good ties between our two nations.”
Next the commander spoke, “We completely understand your situation, Ambassador Cazaz. While we too represent the Maunkee Empire, we will not make the final decision. The council will take our discussions and advises into account though our High Councilor will have the final say. The shortest decision can be made within a standardized hour or as long as three working day’s worth of debating. No more, no less.” Afterward, the commander motioned for the acolyte to speak.
The Acolyte cleared his throat, “Unfortunately, yes, you have misinterpreted the Greater Good. We do not devout ourselves to any form of superstitious god like beings, but instead to an ideology. The Greater Good demands that everyone contributes for the overall progress of the nation; no matter how small or insignificant it may be.
We strive to obtain social, scientific and economic optimum through constantly pushing forward in these fields.
While we tolerate other beliefs, we discourage open practices and ensures that there are no official, or unofficial, religious cults which could lead to social unrest or disunity of any kind. Thus we have a policy, commonly referred to, ‘Your house. Your practice.’ effectively restricting every citizen to only practice their religion behind the closed curtains of their homes.
Thus we do not, believe in any so-called Gods, but rather an ideology which can be achieved.”
Afterward the represent of the Science and Industry motioned that he would speak, “In relation to your first notion. We decided that it would be best to send a robot whose sole instructions were to obey any order given, that way we could minimize the risk of starting a conflict.”
“Now, you mentioned that you’d invite a representative to your home world, for that we’ll nominate our Agricultural Overseer. He’ll suit well as an overall representative of the Maunkee Empire and will provide with logical and reasonable answers from the Maunkee government.” The commander said.
Though the real reason as for why the Agricultural Overseer was send was because of his limited indebth knowledge of the other sectors, so were he to be interrogated or his mind invaded, then he wouldn’t provide them with unwanted information, aside from their farming production and techniques. This was mainly due to Cazaz’s race spoke through telepathy, something which the Maunkee had heard of yet had never developed a clear understanding of as it didn’t work well with the Greater Good.
