Forgotten – Sara King

He knew other Representatives had their tricks—some had drugs, some studied body language and facial expressions, and some were simply so dangerous they didn’t need tricks—but with Sky’s lifestone around his neck, he felt like a two-bit swindler anyway. As the day continued and no one pointed him out as a charlatan, however, Fred began to gain confidence. The self-assurance Sky had instilled into the cross began to work its magic. He spoke up in the votes, gave his opinions where he normally would have remained silent.

He felt other members giving him odd looks, expecting him to watch the proceedings from afar like the rest of the minor members, but it simply made Fred more poised, more assertive. When Representative Kaj’nol offered a resolution for the one- thousand and eleventh time banning all Ueshi and Ooreiki from Huouyt- owned planets and immediately confiscating all private business and commerce they left behind for Huouyt citizens, Fred stood up and turned on his podium.

The other Representatives, by now used to Kaj’nol’s irritating, if symbolic, request, glanced up. “Kaj’nol,” Fred said, without introduction, “You’ve bored us with your stupid proposition every day for three turns. What do you not understand about our previous rulings? Has something about one thousand and eleven ‘no’ votes given you the idea that if you annoy us enough, we will say ‘yes?’” Absolute silence descended upon the Regency. Long tics passed, with all eyes on Fred and Kaj’nol.

Finally, softly, Representative Kaj’nol said, “What did you say?” “The Ueshi and the Ooreiki are the two most populous species in the universe. They create our most important artifacts, research our most valuable technologies, are responsible for over half of all tourism, and their holdings account for a third of our economy. I say we allow you to ban them from your planets, if you so desire. And then, once they are banned, we shall send Congressional forces to maintain it.

If the Huouyt want to cut themselves from the cloth, I vote we let them do just that. We will allow no Ooreiki to trade their luxuries with you, no Ueshi to visit your planets and spend their riches. Perhaps then your pathetic excuse for civilization will devolve back into the slime-puddles it came from and you will stop boring us with your mindless whining.” The Regency was so silent that Fred could hear Kaj’nol’s breja flowing over his body in waves.

After a moment, Kaj’nol said, “What has become of the Human, to make him believe himself worthy of a speech before the assemblage?” “Nothing,” Fred said. “I’m just damn tired of your idiotic request. If you ask again, I will vote yes.” “And I,” another voice said across the room.
