Chapter Twelve

The Kleese Council of Overlords was meeting once again. It was very seldom they met twice to discuss the same problem. The latest report concerning the growing Human dilemma was disconcerting. Somehow, the Humans had managed to sneak on board another Kleese space station in an attempt to trade with the nonaligned worlds. Part of the station had been heavily damaged in the Human's escape and another valuable exploration ship destroyed. More Kleese had died aboard the exploration ship, which was intolerable. The Humans were now responsible for more Kleese deaths than any other species in over a thousand years.

“How did they manage to get aboard the station undetected?” demanded Raluth, his dark arms waving in the air.

The large arachnid Kleese was highly upset with what these upstart Humans were doing. Were all the Kleese in the outer regions of the Empire weak minded? Had they become too complacent after all of the years of not facing a dangerous and determined opponent?

“The Kleese commander of the trading station detected the Humans and their Kiveans allies almost immediately,” Xatul responded in a cold and impassionate voice. “He strongly suspected they'd come to the trading station to make contact with the nonaligned worlds. The Humans and the Kiveans were allowed to contact the trading representatives to see if any of them violated the neutrality agreement.”

“Were any of them foolish enough to violate the agreement?” Bixutl asked with a threatening overtone in his voice. To do so would result in an immediate military response from the nearest Kleese space station.

“No, not that the station commander is aware of,” Xatul responded.

“What about the conscripts that know an exploration ship was destroyed as well as more Kleese being killed?

“All the conscripts on the station that witnessed the battle or were a part of it have been eliminated,” Xatul answered. “The others on the station are being told that the damage to the flight bay and surrounding area was caused by the explosion of a ship’s Fold Space Drive as it was attempting to land.”

“Conscripts can easily be replaced,” spoke Keluth his voice void of compassion, his dark multifaceted eyes focusing on Xatul.

“What about the weapons on the Human ships?” inquired Raluth with some concern in his voice. “They must be powerful or they would not have been able to destroy our exploration ships so easily.”

“They've perfected a particle beam weapon of some strength,” Xatul replied. “We strongly suspect this is a development of the Kiveans and why they were so successful in taking the trading station and defeating our fleets. We were hoping to learn more in our previous attack, but there were no survivors.”

“A particle beam weapon,” Martule said in a sharp voice. “All of our research has indicated that the power to energize a particle beam as an efficient weapon is impractical. That's why we have focused more on pulse fusion weapons and our antimatter sublight missiles.”

“Will this weapon be dangerous to our warships?” asked Bixutl his large eyes focusing on the Supreme Overlord.
