<< BACK TO RS001 LOG ---- From: Starbloom Communal Distributive Projection Destination: - Position: - Departure: - Shipdate: 000027X1 Mode: Docked ---- # Status Update * Transistioning Malkonkordo from research vessel to floating city * Commissioned creation of Fortakune Military Vessel * Migrating tactical crew to Fortakune # Status Report Captain's Log SD27X1 While Malkonkordo is equipped for battle in space, it is not prepared to go to war with the likes of the Pertulit Empire, especially after the damages endured during our civil war aboard the ship. For this reason, while on Starbloom we worked out a trade agreement with the residents of the Projection to gather the necessary supplies to begin the creation of Fortakune, a military vessel with the combined power and might of both Dekaosans and Starbloom. The vessel is currently still in construction, but with the aid of both nations, together we are making quick work of getting the vessel prepared to embark on its voyage into the cosmos. The destiny for the Malkonkordo will be to remain on Starbloom and transition from being a vessel to being a city for the Dekaosans who will not be joining Fortakune. However, while Fortakune was originally created for the purpose of wiping out the Pertulit Empire, during our time in Starbloom we have discovered that Alportas Majeston may have arrived at the wrong conclusion as to who destroyed Dekaoso Prime. While going over our combined star maps and observing the known sectors of space where we last encountered the Pertulits we found it to be desolate, lifeless, and without the usual signs of scavenged planets in the neighboring systems that follow the course of the Pertulits. In fact, when analyzing the impact to Dekaoso Prime to determine the origin of the attacker based on the possible trajectories, it comes from nowhere near where we would expect the Pertulits to reside. Which leaves us with two main possibilities: either the Pertulits are nowhere near where we expected them to be and got there without any of the usual traces they leave or Dekaoso Prime was destroyed by someone else. This discovery and its implications have led to a new realization that should have been quite obvious to us beforehand. Before, the Dekaosan Empire would seek out other worlds to conquer and destroy in the name of Sinjorino Diino, but that was the only reason we did so, because we believed it to be our right to eliminate weakness from the universe. However, after losing our home planet and being lost in space it became quite clear how small the universe is in respect to the resources available to all of the collective worlds living within it. Only due to the nature of the Projection were we able to seek refuge on Lucky Homes, but any other world would not be as welcoming. In fact, given the precedent set by the Dekaosan Empire of destroying any world that should reveal itself to our gaze, it should really be in the best interest of any world to eliminate any other discovered on principle, in fear that they may try to do the same to them. It was from this set of implications that we discovered the more likely case of Dekaoso Prime's destruction, once the location of our planet was discovered through the metadata in our messages, at least one of the worlds listening decided it would be best to destroy us. They could have chosen to do so because of the destructive nature of the Dekaosans, or just because we were another world that could compete with their own for resources in the galaxy in the future. Regardless, it was from our arrogance and hubris that led to the loss of our world. However, we are still planning to set off on Fortakune to travel the stars, but with a new goal in mind. The Projection did not care for our desire to destroy the other worlds to protect them, but we came to a compromise that aligns with our interests and their morals and ethics: we will go our to discover any signs of life in the universe and document exactly where they are relative to their neighboring stars in three dimensional space. With this information documented, should we ever discover them becoming a threat to Starbloom we can use the threat of broadcasting their location into the Quantum Entanglement Communicator as a means to deter them from causing any trouble with their world. This threat can be trusted on the grounds that the Projection is not inheritly violent due to them allowing another world to live among them on their planet without having destroyed them on principle. This is what Fortakune will seek to complish, demonstrating the strength of our two worlds without the implicit destructions of any worlds. To bring about peace to our shared world without ever going to war. Together, we will survive. ~ Captain Kondukas Esperon ---- nDqNaI66BsrFKolJeC/YRii3zBo01P301klOwHsOKC4=
