“They sat on Earth and gave our home the name Haumea. They regard our beloved home as a dwarf planet despite their ignorance of the way we the residents look. If they saw us they will call us mega-giants for our shortest has the height of their tallest including those ones who play the game they call basketball for a living. Earthlings have odd names for everything from what they see to what they imagine. They have no idea of the true name of our super planet. We call it Hellasos because of its existence as a military research and defense base with civilian population. Well, because they use some names which sound like and have meanings close to ours we can concede to them a limited level of intellection. This concession however implies we would be wrong to underrate their intellectual capacity more so we are unable to establish how they came by those equivalent names.”
These were the opening remarks of Spreker, spokesperson of the Aerokingdom of Hellasos to the Gregiso, the Congregation of Elders, Thinkers, and Researchers who make up the ruling class of the Kingdom. Spreker announced the decisions of the Heptadium or Composite of Seven for no one other than the seven had access to the Supremus or Supreme Leader who in any case stayed out of public view on a permanent basis.
Spreker received the directive to give full brief on the ongoing kingdom-wide engagement which touched on the rationale for the founding of Hellasos by the Allied Galactic Powers. He made such appearances after each pivotal meeting of the Heptadium.
He continued his statement by use of the language most common on the Earth Planet with respect to tribe and location where a specific issue required attention and resolution.

This made it possible for those assigned to emerging issues to have full understanding of all the critical issues involved and eliminated any iota of doubt.
The orthography of the language of Hellasos lacked several terms used on Earth Planet.
Spreker addressed a subdued but alert audience and the audience picked and analysed all his words to enable them attain understanding in nanoseconds. The flag sign displayed in the cabins and offices of Hellasans marked the meeting as Criticus.
“The gallant indigenes of Hellasos,” Spreker continued, adding: “Our Body of Researchers has confirmed Earthlings delivered micro beings in sealed canisters to the International Space Station of which the day, date, and time to the nanosecond have been recorded in our Annals. The researchers, all of them security agents as you know, have monitored Earth for decades and spotted the development capable of destabilization of the harmony in the Galaxy. All of us know such constitutes the sacred duty of the residents of Hellasos from creation eons ago.
“Critical repetition stands as a necessity and no one must consider it a bore. Earthlings after their creation and development to a determined neural level have high propensities for destructive activities. No being in space loses sleep when they act out fantasies which destroy each other sometimes in the millions. No dweller of outer space spends a useful nanosecond to worry as Earthlings destroy their planet and their survival with liquids, gases, and solids because we have the means to ensure the fundamentals of Earth Planet are outside their destructive capacities. But urgent action arises when they turn attention to outer space where some of them regard as their next profit frontier.
“My next statement must be of paramount interest to each of you. The Board of Researchers came to the knowledge of the first planned exploration of Hellasos by earthlings twenty-five earth years ago. You were duly briefed but due to rapid advances in their scientific researches and development of space ships faster than earlier scheduled, the exploration will likely commence one earth year ahead. As our sacred duty we must stop such exploration by all means at our disposal. First, we will employ the science of simple friction to tear their space crafts into shreds before they get out of Earth Planet’s orbit.
“We did it some earth years ago when earthlings were inside but as usual they learned nothing. A female earthling would have scored a goal during the trip but we stopped her. All of you are aware the average earthling has the spirit of a Billy-goat which means each person pushes forward in a relentless mode against obstacles.
“They are in deep research as I speak more so they have moved the needle of motive from pure research to value-based research with the thrust of space as an economic or business idea. We shall wait for their teams and deal with each as we deem fit and as each case fits into our master plan.
“Because they landed their kind on their Moon some moment ago – they calibrate time in seconds, minutes, days, months, and years while the rest of the Galaxy has no concept of time – it gave them the audacity to strive further afield. We stopped one spaceship from successful landing on their moon a moment earlier. Imagine a group unable to feed over a billion people in their geographical space which spent billions of their currency to send unmanned flight to the moon. We researched and found the reason for such fool hardiness, I believe you know. Ego they call it and they are prepared to allow their kith and kin to die in numbers provided they join the big league of space masters! Earthlings learn nothing from their mistakes and they apply scarce resources to compete with each other for immaterial benefits.
“I used the word first which means a second thing must follow. Earthlings are daft to an incredible degree when they discount the place of a keyword in their language. They created the word ‘fungible’ but they pay no attention to it. What will their exploration give back to space dwellers? You can give an answer to yourselves because from antiquity earthlings take all and give nothing. Can any group of beings be as desperate in stinginess and selfishness as earthlings? Within their planet individuals exploit, consume but give back nothing. Groups exploit other groups and give back nothing beyond what gives them the leeway to exploit more.”
Spreker paused, looked down and a member of the audience waddled to Spreker and they conferred after which the member withdrew and Spreker continued.
