Kamikaze

by Michael P Calligaro

First Ovoid Blason rolled to his superior's door. He sent a feeling of inquiry through to the First Sphere

and felt a welcoming thought return. The door cycled open, and Blason rolled through. "First Sphere

Glaicon," he sent, laced with the correct amount of honor and respect.

The First Sphere replied with warmth. "Have you brought the reconnaissance on our next target?"

Blason returned favorable affirmation. "It should be a simple operation. It is a single planet inhabited by

marginally intelligent beings. They have limited spaceflight capabilities and appear to only use them to fight

each other. We should have little difficulty defeating them."

Returning a mixture of appreciation and fatigue, the First Sphere replied, "This is the last in this galaxy,

correct? I will be glad to finish this mission."

Blason sent more affirmation. "Ithas been a most grueling invasion, sire. In conquering the last ninety-four

races, we lost ten remote fighter craft and damaged the sensibilities of two lower Ovoids of the Fifth

class. Though our good work for the Circle helps us all stand a bit rounder in pride, we are all tired and

will be happy when this is done. But without your encompassing leadership to see us through, I am sure

some of the younger Ovoids would not have survived. Your form will be remembered throughout time."

"Thank you, First Ovoid Blason. But do not overlook you own role in all of this. After my

recommendation, I am sure the Circle will promote you to lower Sphere status."

"That is an honor I will strive to bear well, my commander. Thank you."

Blason personally inspected the preparation of the transmission. They had reached the outer edges of the

solar system and the Oversphere, their single giant battleship, would now be visible to the humans' low

technology sensors. He and his technicians had spent a significant amount of time scanning the human

broadcasts in order to fully understand the human languages. Now that work would yield its benefit as

they created their transmission. Occasionally, their opening communication was so effective that the race

simply surrendered without any loss of precious life. This was a goal for which Blason always strove. To

defeat an enemy without killing any of them meant victory of the highest honor. He felt exceedingly proud

to have orchestrated three such deathless victories in this campaign.

The transmission went out in multiple human languages.

"Humans of the Earth. We, the Ovoids of the Great Circle, have come to conquer you. As our

technology far outclasses anything you could imagine, we request that you lay down your weapons and

submit to us peacefully. Any other course of action would result in needless loss of life on your parts. We

will arrive within twenty of your planet's rotations. We hope you will be reasonable about this."

He rolled back and took in their broadcasts. The humans were hideously ugly creatures--only

symmetrical in one plane and only moderately so at that. Most responded to the transmission by thrusting

themselves to and fro as they made loud audible noises by forcing air out of their bodies. Such strange

creatures these were. It was too early to tell, but he hoped that in the intervening time, they would get

over the shock and begin to see reason.
