“Fifty years.”
Executor Gapra Taras smiled.
“What a ride it has been.”
She turned to the man in the sofa.
“I am glad you are the one to write down these memoirs. A true Triech. A true patriot.”
She nodded.
“Yes. Well, I guess I will start with the advent of star travel. We did not know then, about the dangerous galaxy that awaited us.”
She smirked.
“Not a war yet, but I am certain it will come soon.”
She sighed.
“So many enemy aliens. And not one truly friendly.”
She snorted.
“As is to be expected.”
Grinning, she stretched her body.
“But what a ride it has been. From one star system to almost fifty now. From being alone in the universe, our slaves and us; the enlightened Triech. To this.”
She waved to a nearby screen.
“All those aliens. Encroaching on us, threatening us. But I will not allow us to fall!”
She laughed.
“No. The Triech species will prevail. I have plans to expand.”
She arched her brow.
“That is confidential, of course. For now. But the rest…yes, the rest of our conversations you are free to record for publishing. I understand you rather than a book want to write it as time goes by, in articles on the Holonet. Most interesting.
She waved her hand.
“No matter, I am sure you and PR knows what is best. I am old fashioned though; I like my books. Well, then. I guess I should paint the picture for you on how our Empire looks at this point of time. Shall we?”
