[1] [After the latest battle, Hetepheres watches as her insectoid underlings are taking care of Scaraber. The core unit wasn't hit too badly, but the Scarab Frame lost its two additional arms and will need them fixed. She's also checking the post-battle report on a tablet.]

That was the first time I have seen Aerogaters use humanoid machines. Curious... And it still leaves as many questions about their nature as before, if not more. Fortunately, thanks to the Knights' help and early evacuation, the number of casualties was minimized, possibly even completely reduced to nothing.

All circumstances considered, that was a good battle.

[2 - announcement]
It is time for me to reaveal the Pro-Earthling Party's plan. Listen well.

Many members of the High Council are still undecided about whether our races should fight, or cooperate. During the Grand Vote, the fate of the whole Gebian species shall be decided. At that time, we must be absolutely certain that the majority of the council members will support the Pro-Earthling Party. And we shall earn their support by showing them the amazing advances of Earth's civilizations!

Our Minister of Health, Acenith, will pay a visit to Earth in around 2 weeks. She is obsessed with sports - not professional ones, but amateur sports, as a way to spread healthy living and spirit of competition and cooperation among the people. To show her that the spirit of sportsmanship is strong within Earthlings, we shall organize games for her to watch. And I ask you to be the participants.

Skills do not matter - it is not about ability, but healthy enthusiasm! The Ministry of Health is influential - show your spirit to Acenith, and many other council members, not just her, will support cooperation! Take your time to prepare, and think what disciplines you would like to perform. I shall not force anyone to participate; but the bigger the games are, the better our chances of success.

Wait.

Do you mean to tell me that the anti-earthling party is not a radical militant fringe group, but is in fact an equal participant in a democratic government with your side?

We're supposed to play sports to impress the minister?

[Izuru is surprised.]

Yes, though more through lack of information than a specific statement to that effect...

...I suppose I had better organize an informal tournament onboard, then.

That's not eccentric. It's awesome! We'll have to prove to her our burning spirit and determination.

Did we decide on a sport yet?

"So...to save the earth from another invasion, we're going to have to...entertain our would-be invaders?" Yancy asks, frowning.

"That's a little degrading, isn't it?"

So you're saying that a sports meet is going to decide the fate of humanity? And that we should focus on showing enthusiasm above all else?
herodrawing: (Time to draw)

From: [personal profile] herodrawing


What kind of sports do you have back on Geb?
majestic_keiki: (So tired)

From: [personal profile] majestic_keiki


That sounds fantastic. Couldn't they at least look at our actual accomplishment and not just enthusiasm? It feels demeaning.

SO YOUR GOVERNMENT IS RUN BY MORONS.

PLUS ÇA CHANGE, PLUS C'EST LA MÊME CHOSE, I SUPPOSE. I'LL ORDER SOME OF MY PEOPLE TO PUT TOGETHER A TEAM.

ONLY IF SOMEBODY ELSE CAN PUT TOGETHER ANOTHER TEAM WITH SPECIAL ABILITIES. OTHERWISE YOU WOULDN'T GET A SHOW. [Kagura's voice is as toneless and robotic as always. But one gets a sense that if she could do bitter sarcasm here she definitely would.]

"I find it degrading that your undecided politicians will decide whether or not humanity deserves to be a free species...based solely on how much we amuse them." Yancy replies.

He sighs and holds up a hand. "I'll take a game of baseball or a play over a battlefield any time, don't get me wrong. But do you understand why I feel this is condescending?"
