[ WP ] Humans are successful partly because we 're omnivores and this holds true on the galactic scale as well . In the future humans have quickly become feared throughout the Milky Way as our soldiers are ready to eat almost anything ... or anyone .


 `` I just ca n't except allowing these degusting creatures into the federation! Under no terms will these monsters be allied with the Ner! A passage of Article 438 is a declaration of secession by the Ner from the Federation! ” Jenk finished his speech, smoothed his feathers and took his place allowing the other members of the council to speak. 
 
 
 
 Jenk knew that a secession could never happen even if the article passed. The hope was to limit and restrain these newcomers from gaining a foot hold in the galaxy. The Ner need the federation. It was the only reason they still existed. 5 micro-cycles since war had come to his home world and with it nightmares. Never before had a Foreign power invaded. Never Before was the Federation needed more than now. 
 
 
 
 “ As per the terms of the Halt treaty, this federation has to allow them membership. This we all understand. ” Trel was from a close neighboring star state, Chak. An Allie to the Ner more so than most in this conceal. Jenk knew that from the twitch of Trels mandibles he could count on their vote. ” Long has it stood for the betterment of it citizens. I do not feel Article 438 is up to the standard of which the federation stands for, and wish to open a dialog for amendments ” 
 
 
 
 There it was, just what Jenk planed. The Ner could not put forth the motion for fear of being seen as bias. Now the restraints could be put in place. The fist requirement needed to be a relinquishing of armed forces, and disarmament of the boarder. The federation was mostly peaceful, none of the other Star states had their own standing army. Second was economics, monetary conversions, and exports. The federation was uniformed. Assimilation would take a few micro-cycles. 
 
 
 
 “ A Motion for amendments has been called. Is there a 2nd? ” Halth the council elder was straight forward. Eldest of the council members, having no time for political banter. 
 
 
 
 “ 2nded! ” Jenk spoke taking a stand. 
 
 
 
 “ Are there any amendments ready to for debate? ” Halth was following protocol to the letter. Adjusting the items on his lectern. “ No? We will take a 40tic recess. All amendments should be ready when we resume.

 Jenk was ready, plumage groomed, breast plate shinning. Formal wear was required for state dinners. Being invited to such a high profile event, only the best attire would be appropriate. There was Trel adorned in the customary Chak gems strung about their setae speaking to the newcomers council member. This was the place to be, the event history would record. All the council members in their finest conversing with the most powerful privet beings of the federation. Gatherings such as these are where policy is formed. 
 
 
 
 “ Jenk! Sir Jenk! ” roaring from across the room council member Richards was a beast. His head almost touching the celling. Never before had Jenk felt so venerable then when being near a human. 
 
 
 “ ah Sir Richards! So nice to see you again. I sure its been well over a Micro-cycle. ” Jenk was not here for small talk. It would be impossible for another species to derive so much pleasure from it as humans. 
 
 
 “ Sir Jenk, I need to speak to you about the coming council meeting. I need you to bring forward this Article proposal. ” Richards exclaimed. 
 
 
 Jenk was taking a back at such directness. Richard pulled a data card from his odd formal wear. Passing it to jenk, he unlocked the screen and stepped back. Jenk was appalled at what was in the Article. A call to seal the records of the last War of Ner and pardon those investigated for war crimes. How could Richards conceive this offensive ideal. Jenk looked to Richards, and those around them. Some started to notice the cowering giant. 
 
 
 “ Why? ” was the only thing Jenk could get out before Richards cut him off. 
 
 
 
 “ look, I know what happen was really bad. I myself fought in the fields of Doncord. These men have family ’ s and lives will be ruined. They ’ re not bad men. ” Richards was choking up a little, Jenk had never seen this side of him. ” I know sacred places were destroyed. I understand you hatred for what was done on your home world. All I ’ m asking is for you to start a dialog. ” 
 
 
 
 Jenk had only two options, cause a scene or accept. Terrible things had happen on Ner. Nightmares you could say, But those nightmares are what brought a halt to the war of Ner. They are the ones who defend the Federation.
