Admiral Huzzak-ai watched the bombardment of the Kortl homeworld Aso from his bridge’s viewing port. Over 60 Dominion warships mercilessly and incessantly bombarded the great green orb, what was left of 200 that bitterly fought their way to the heart of the Kortl Society after the launch of the great offensive.
‘Lord Admiral’, cautiously spoke his second command while worryingly eyeing the carnage unfolding below, ‘Kortl planetary defences have long since been destroyed. The Patriarchs gave us clear orders to take the planet…uh, intact…’
Huzzak-ai continued to stare at the bombardment without any external reaction. Blasted fools. If it weren’t for them, we wouldn’t be here with this nasty business. This is what appeasement provides.
‘’Continue the bombardment until there are no signs of Kortl life for 6 hours.’’ Huzzak spoke authoritatively. ‘’I want Aso to stay forever as a barren graveyard, a monument to the folly and cost of striking out against the Dominion.’’
The Secondary Admiral stared at Huzzak-ai, then stared back at the viewscreen bleakly. After a minute, he spoke. ‘’ And the other Kortl that we find on other worlds? It this a total genocide?
Huzzak-ai thought for a moment. ‘No…no, let the wretched remnant of their perfidious race wander the stars as a ghastly shadow, a living testament to the power and terrible wrath of our arms.’’
The Secondary Admiral hesitated then spoke. ‘’ First that treasonous speech, then a direct disobeying of orders of the highest matter….they will, no doubt, surely order your arrest once word reaches the Patriarchal Palace.
Huzzai-ai nodded. ‘’Indeed, they will need to issue as such, if only to preserve their domestic authority.’’
The Lord Admiral stared ever-deeper into the genocide unfolding below for a long moment, before letting something resembling a wry smile come across his face.
‘’Let them try.’’
