Prompt: It's the year 2967, and you are the delegate from the United Nations to the Intergalactic Committee for Planetary Relations. Your mission is to persuade the delegates from the other developed and armed planets on the Committee to adopt a variation on Earth's Outer Space Treaty in the interest of better intergalactic relations—but the vote needs to be unanimous. Everyone seems to be on board ... except for the delegate from the planet Kryzlak, which is on tense terms with Earth following a dispute over mining colonies on one of Kryzlak's moons. What happens next?
Story:
I checked the hologram one last time. Only one planet still hasn't voted, or rather neglected to vote. Planet Kryzlak. This would be a tough one, considering our history together, it would almost be impossible to make them sign the treaty.
"We've all gathered here to address an important matter" The delegate of planet Yeeeaboii spoke. "Bob from Earth, if you will"
"Thank you, Morkdrak of Yeeeaboii" I stood up and took the stage. "As you all see in the holograms in front of you, we still need one more signature from one more planet for the treaty to be in full effect" Everyone looked at the delegate of planet Kryzlak in unison.
"Krygbroog Bhulaskjork, brughlremks kloombpalompa brackenlyroy" Lorkbruck from Planet Kryzlak spoke.
"Please put on your translator" Fuarghuard from planet Deeznuts told Lorkbruck.
"Fuarghuard is right. No one understood anything you blabbered just now" Ztrybkrly from planet Onethiccbih followed.
Lorkbruck moaned but proceeded to wear the translator. "What I said was, our planet does not agree to this treaty, not after what planet earth has done to our moon!" He exclaimed.
"But you have 9 moons! That's 7 more than ours!" Beembloop from planet Cashmeoussie said.
"It's no excuse for what they've done to ours!" Lorkbruck looked directly at me.
"I know what our planet has done to your moon. But the united nations of Earth have provided me with a solution" I got my briefcase and searched for the disc that President Henry gave me.
"I'm listening" Lorkbruck crossed his arms and lay back as he waited.
"Aha" I murmured when I found the disc. I held it up and placed it on the ground and turned it on.
"This list includes all of the things that we would do if you sign the treaty, and I think you're gonna like the last one" Everyone looked at the bottom, including Lorkbruck.
"How?" Lorkbruck asked. I knew he would bite. Restoring the natural beauty of their moon, is the least we could do, after our little mining colonies "incident" a few decades ago. Plus it sounded like the best way to make these Kryzlaks agree to the treaty at the time. If it doesn't work, there's always plan B called Operation A.S.K.I.T.S. which is also known as Annihilating Selfish Kryzlaks In Their Slumber.
"Let's just say we have the technology, with a little help from planet Deeznuts of course" Fuarghuard nodded his head in agreement. Lorkbruck looked at me and Fuarghuard, then back at the list in the hologram.
"Okay, Planet Kryzlak agrees" Lorkbruck spoke, then proceeded to sign at the treaty on the hologram.
"And that's pretty much it sir" I spoke.
"That's good to hear. Operation A.S.K.I.T.S. was just a bluff anyway" Henry, President of the United Nations said.
"W-wait, s-so..." I swallowed.
"Yes, you would've been devoured on the spot, but hey, at least you're still here right?" He laughed then gave me a tap on the back and went on to only God knows where.
