...

In one of the news studios the camera panned across a brightly lit studio set, displaying the emblem of UNOT's biggest News Network.

Seated at a sleek desk was the host, Lisa Chou, her expression serious.

The title "Cosmic Conundrum: Assessing the Threat to Thrae" flashed across the screen.

"Good evening, viewers. Tonight, we delve into the intriguing claims made by the Imperator of the Terranum Imperium regarding cosmic horrors and their potential threat to Thrae. Joining me are three distinguished experts, each bringing their unique perspective to the table. Please welcome Dr. Emily Carter, UNOT Parlamet member Reynolds, and General Michael Chang. Thank you all for being here."

The host Introduced herself and her quests In a professional manner.

As she did the camera cuted to each expert, who nodded in acknowledgment.

"Let's dive right in General Chang, as a military man, what's your take on the likelihood of cosmic horrors mentioned by the Imperator posing a threat to Thrae?"

The host asked as she focused her attention on the stern man In UNOT's green service uniform.

"Thank you, Lisa. While the existence of cosmic horrors remains speculative, we cannot discount the vastness of the universe and the possibility of unknown threats lurking beyond our understanding."

The middle-aged general paused.

"However, without concrete evidence, we must approach these claims with a degree of skepticism. It's essential to remain vigilant and continue our armed forces military training"

The general said.

"Fascinating insights General Chang. Professor Reynolds, from a strategic standpoint, how do you view the Imperator's decision to fortify our solar system?"

Lisa asked as she shifted her focus from General Chang to Parliament Member Reynolds

"Well, Lisa, the Imperium's decision to fortify our solar system suggests that they are really here to stay and this will result in appropriate diplomatic ramifications because of such actions, although technically no one owns our solar system It's still a spat to every Thraen's face"

Parlamento member Reynolds said with visible disgust on his face.

"Thank you for you're Input parliament member Reynolds..."

Lisa commented with a small smile while cursing In her mind.

F*cking Idiot! Can't you still see that the Imperium Is the future? You still want to mess with them after they slaughtered the Workers Union's entire air group and fired one of their battleships main canons into the worker's union's territory?! F*ck who the f*CK did you bribe to get Into the parliament! F*CK! F*CK I'm joining the Imperium no matter what, I don't care who I have to s*CK off or f*CK to get that citizenship!

Lisa cursed In her mind fully prepared to utilize her womanly charms and the techniques that got her to her current position before she hit thirty.

"Professor. Dr. Carter, as a historian, how do you interpret the Imperator's motives in disclosing information about cosmic horrors based on our own histories dictators?"

Lisa asked after taking a sip of water from her glass.

"It's a complex issue, Lisa. On one hand, the Imperator may genuinely believe in the existence of cosmic horrors and see it as his duty to inform our populace. On the other hand, there's the possibility that the Imperator is leveraging fear to consolidate power and justify militaristic actions. Without a deeper understanding of the Imperium's internal dynamics, it's challenging to discern the true motives behind his disclosure."

"Thank you for your insights, Dr. Carter. Now, let's discuss the potential ramifications of the Imperium's fortification efforts general Chang, how is UNOT military going to react to this?"

"I'm sorry Lisa but for the moment I can't comment on this question"

General Chang chose not to comment hearing this Lisa moved on.

"Parlament member Reynolds, do you see any potential benefits to the Imperiums fortification efforts?

"None, not only are the Terrans making sure that we have no way to expand but they are also practically putting us In a cage!"

Reynolds barked not holding back.

"Dr. Carter, any final thoughts on the matter?

Lisa asked ready to end the talks because she was afraid that Reynolds will start directly Insulting the Imperator on live stream and as the Terrans had already proved they were watching.

"As we navigate these uncertain times, it's imperative that we balance preparedness with prudence. While the threat of cosmic horrors cannot be dismissed outright, we must also remain mindful of the broader implications of militarization and prioritize diplomacy and cooperation. By working together, we can ensure the safety and security of Thrae and its inhabitants."

"Thank you, Dr. Carter. And to our viewers, stay tuned for further updates on this developing situation. I'm Lisa Chun signing off for now.
