“Like you did with the One Eyes?”
“Exactly. However, if we encounter a less advanced species that goes out to conquer other civilizations, we are going to do everything we can to get them to change their behavior. Failing that, we will remove the means of being a conqueror.”
“Will you take possession of their planets?’
“No. But an aggressive species will ultimately develop advanced technology over time and those seeds will need to be nipped in the bud before they become really dangerous.”
“Are you suggesting you won’t exterminate them?”
“That is not our way, Holiness.”
“You would not have exterminated the One Eyes?”
“I know this sounds like I’m trying to have it both ways but they were one species that had to be removed.”
“Why?”
“Because they fed on other intelligent beings and they couldn’t change their behavior. Their physiology forced them to attack other species. They truly were a cancer that had to be cut out to keep the body healthy.”
“I happen to agree with your assessment.”
“It’s obvious.”
“I still won’t accept your promise to never return here.” Rose closed her eyes and shook her head. “It’s not knowing each other that will cause problems between us. I recommend that you find a planet in your civilization that my species can colonize and we will find one here that you can colonize. I suggest we visit each other frequently and one day, that distrust will disappear.”
Rose smiled and looked at Sam, “Would it be possible that you could send an Ambassador that would attend the meetings of our Leaders and report back to your civilization on what we’re doing.”
“That is an excellent suggestion. We will also allow one of your representatives to attend our gatherings where our major decisions are made.”
“Thank you for your wisdom, Holiness. I think that one day we will be sharing our technology and come to each other’s defense.”
“We can agree to do that now.”
“What?’
“I can agree to come and defend you against attacks from aggressive civilizations now.”
“I also have the authority to make the same agreement.”
“Are you the Supreme Leader of your civilization?”
“I am.”
“That proves more than anything you’ve said that you’re being honest. Your civilization would not have allowed you to come here and place yourself in danger unless they are serious about what you’ve said.”
Thank you, Holiness. I will start the search for a planet in my galaxy. Are there any special requirements you need?”
“I will send one of my vessels back with you and it will assist you in finding one.”
Rose smiled, “I will send this ship back to work with you to find one suitable for my species as well.”
“Commander, what do you think about these agreements?”
“If it meets with your pleasure, Holiness. I would like to go with them.”
“That is a great suggestion. By the way, how long will it take you to arrive at your civilization?”
“We can be there in two seconds but we will travel at your ship’s best speed.”
“What did you just say?”
“We have the means of traveling instantly to any place in the universe. If you don’t mind, may I have my ship take me back to prepare for your ship’s arrival? I’ll send my ship back after I disembark.”
The Commander shook his head, “How far away is your civilization?”
“About three billion light years.”
“Holiness, I think we have a lot to learn from this species.”
“Indeed we do.” There was a pause and Rose heard, “Perhaps today will be one that both of our species will recognize as memorable.”
“That is my fervent prayer, Holiness. My ship will be back momentarily.” The Purple ships scattered around the planet saw the small ship disappear and a few minutes later reappear. Chase thought, “Are you ready to leave?”
The Commander smiled, “I need a few hours to provision my ship.”
“Take your time. I asked one of my scientists about extending my field to cover your ship. I’ll attach a cable to your ship and we should be able to make the trip together.”
The being on the planet looked around the room and saw the other leaders staring at him. He shook his head and smiled, “Do you agree with this?”
They all nodded and one said, “This species is young. They are vibrant and we may find our spirits rejuvenated from being around them.”
The being nodded and stared at the small ship on his monitor. He had little doubt that finding colonists was going to be very easy.
T
he two planets were found and within two years, trade between the two civilizations accelerated to an unprecedented level. The planet colonized in the Purple’s galaxy had many species from the Alliance settle there. During that time, the Alliance Fleets went out and freed the conquered galaxies. After the last Death Feeder died, The Alliance sent the Peacekeepers out into Laniakea to search for danger.
Once the two ambassadors were chosen, Rose resigned as High Leader and married Sam. Their youngest daughter became High Leader when she was twenty five years old and history recorded that the Alliance’s Golden Age started under her leadership.
However, centuries later, historians revised it back to when an alien fled to Earth to escape death. That was when it actually began. From that event, everything else followed. Lukas Axel became recognized as the father of the Alliance and was responsible for the peace that it enforced for thousands of years. His statue in front of the giant government center had a Light Ship just behind him with the name Willow on its bow.
