Teemas payed close attention to the Emperor as he spoke and watched the different objects displayed holographically, while keeping an eye on the onlookers to see how they reacted.

"Is it a coincidence that we chose to contact you at this certain time? Of course not. It is indeed the unfortunate launch of that probe that prompted the Treecuu Government to send me here, so that I could explain what it is and what happened on its planet of origin.

I will not call the probe Aryyt't, since that would imply that it was in anyway sanctioned by the Aryyt't Planet-Wide Council, the Aryyt't government.

The transmission from the probe, viewed in full, consists of three parts: first a series of mathematical signals to aid in the decoding of the images that follow. The images show how the Treecuu detonate antimatter devices on the surface of Aryyt't, and then proceed to send an invasion force composed of several streamlined vessels. The last part of the transmission is a distress call, requesting aid to remove the 'alien invaders'.

I can confirm that the images showing the detonation of said antimatter devices are indeed authentic, they were captured by Aryyt't satellites in orbit. The approaching streamlined vessels are indeed Treecuu, on a diplomatic mission to meet the official government. They were filmed by many cameras in a city that was destroyed by the antimatter explosion. However, the chronology of the events is not correct. If you examine the images carefully, especially the position of the small moon visible, you will notice that the antimatter explosion occurred before the alleged invasion. All Treecuu vessels were destroyed, along with most of the planet's defence forces called in to escort them, and a whole continent."

Teemas paused briefly to let her words sink in. She knew that the first antimatter explosion initiated by an individual Aryyt't had knocked out the Aryyt't satellites in orbit, and that the Aryyt't had been forced to use the pictures captured by them to illustrate the second antimatter explosion that the Treecuu indeed had caused. She continued.

"What is the reason behind these unfortunate events? The Aryyt't homeworld, designated by us as Yim Lootuu III, is located near the Treecuu border to the entities known as the ANF and UCP. Sadly these two states have initiated forward-basing of heavy offensive weapons, as well as capable spying arrays, in the form of space stations, or 'outposts' as they call them officially.

The Yim Lootuu System is of utmost strategic importance to our defence, that, and our concern for the people of Aryyt't should they get in the crossfire, is why we approached them and offered the possibility of becoming a protectorate.

Our offer led to a great debate in the Aryyt't society. A religious movement, led by the very same individual who later detonated the antimatter device, opposed this offer, and their government's official stance to accept. She saw an opportunity to get rid of both the Aryyt't military and our diplomatic delegation. She was also the one who launched this probe with mere lies about us and the Aryyt't. Her actions have plunged the planet into a civil war between remaining Government forces and the religious extremist movement, and we are currently conducting peacekeeping operations on behalf of the official Aryyt't Government. We are also currently investigating ANF involvement in arming the extremists."
