Just when it was all looking so good. Just when things were about to kick off big time, it all went horribly wrong. The weapons had been developed. Their leaders had spoken big, backed themselves into corners there could be no escape from. We had put our feet up, made some popcorn, opened a few beers, waiting for the greatest show in the Universe to begin. And then their scientists, their oh so wonderful and genius scientists, made the greatest breakthrough ever seen in the study of gravitational radiation. They have cracked gravity. They own it. They are safe. Peace was inevitable. The opposition made some face saving speeches and then backed down. They have now expanded the territory they control from two light years to twenty light years. We cannot even get close enough to observe them anymore.
So I have had it with Planet X. Screw them! They can take over the Galaxy as far as I am concerned. Before they do, I am going to find some little pre-industrial world and make the inhabitants worship me as a God. And I am not in the mood to be a slightly forgiving deity
