A few minutes later, Admiral Sudano’s voice came over the speaker, and said, “This is Admiral Sudano of the Ragnor Empire. State your business, humans.”
“This is the Premier of the People’s Republic of China. We would like to apologize for the actions of a rogue country on our planet for attacking your planet. We seek peace and understanding with your people. What else can we do to help achieve this?”
“A rogue country on your planet attacked my world? What did you do when you found this out?” asked Sudano, who was somewhat intrigued by this revelation.
“We and another nation attacked them and wiped them out. They no longer threaten the peace and security of either Earth or the rest of the galaxy.” boasted the Chinese Premier.
“Very good, you seem to be a people that are not to be toyed with. As far as seeking peace and understanding with the Ragnor, you can help our relationship immensely by dropping that cloak you have around your solar system. Would you be willing to do that?”
“My scientists on Mars are doing that as we speak, Admiral. We look forward to meeting you and setting up a treaty between our two peoples.”
“I’m sure you do look forward to this momentous occasion. I have things to attend to, so I will be signing off. I shall return to your solar system shortly. Sudano out,” he ended the communication with the humans, and said to his officers, “Send our fleet to the humans’ solar system. They shall soon know our meaning of peace and understanding.”
Admiral Sudano and his one hundred ships arrived in the Sol System, went to Mars, ignored the communications from the Chinese, which were becoming increasingly urgent, and Sudano had the fleet destroy the Mars Base without second thought. Once the base on Mars was turned into a smoking crater, the Ragnor headed to Earth. In orbit, Sudano ordered, “Get me access to their communications satellites, I want to inform the people of Earth that their time in this galaxy has come to an end,” five minutes later, the Ragnor technicians gave Sudano the go ahead to speak, “people of Earth, this is Admiral Sudano of the Ragnor Empire. My fleet and I are here to wipe your species out, paying your planet back for wiping out my planet. You and the Terrans are an aberration, we wiped out the Terrans, and now you humans are next. Goodbye primitive human scum.” Sudano cut the broadcast to Earth, and broadcast an order to his own fleet, “commence the annihilation of the humans, leave none of them alive on the surface. You have your orders, Admiral Sudano signing off.”
The Ragnor fleet used their energy based weapons, since the humans seemed to have no major planetary defenses or starships to counter the Ragnor attack. The Ragnor scanned the surface of Earth, and then killed off every human that they could find, not thinking that humans were smart enough to hide underground, so they didn’t land surface troops to investigate possible hiding places. The Ragnor then went home, satisfied with their revenge, then began building up their military capacity again, and decided to begin dominating the rest of the galaxy.
