Major Crank walked over to the comms station.

"Yes Commander Spicoli"

"Command has decided to finally stop the Kino transgression. They have decided to give the Kino people one chance for survival. You are to meet with the emperor and instruct him to remove his people from the continent immediately. Anyone remaining after one month will be considered criminals and will be exterminated."

"I understand. I can't imagine him taking this well."

"No, I doubt it. But command wants to give him the ultimatum regardless"

"Report back after the meeting"

"Yes sir"

"Ensign Toofur, Bring the ship down to the Kino's Imperial city above the palace."

"Yes sir"

Panic took the Kino people as the Ginormous ship descended above the city. Mothers clutched their babies. The elderly made peace with their gods. Some took to looting. Some tried to get women to sleep with them, "What if the world ends tomorrow?"

Major Crank tried to suppress the feeling but a wave of pride rushed over him as his truly awesome ship passed over the Kino capitol. He thought. "Few beings in this universe get to command the power I do right now."

After this show of power and his not so humble moment had past, Major Crank boarded a shuttle and flew to the palace plaza. There he was met with the very nervous palace guards. Major Crank proceeded to demand to meet with the emperor to no avail, until emperor Kiska himself appeared and agreed to meet with the Major.

After nearly an hour of heated negotiations the Major returned to his ship and contacted Commander Spicoli.

"Well Major Crank. How did it go?"

"Not good sir. He actually threatened to have me arrested, but then one of his assistants reminded him that it wouldn't be a good idea."

"What a fool."

"He had his chance."

"Yes sir. I shall prepare the drones at once"

"You definitely think like a soldier Major"

"Sir?"

"After this war we don't need to waste any more money. Not even mentioning the devastation that would be released upon our land. Have your science officer use the computer to construct a virus to wipe out the population."

"Once the virus is released make sure no one leaves the continent."

"Yes sir"

"And Major. Do this right and you can choose your next assignment."

"Yes sir"

Major Crank immediately met with his science officer and began planning the operation.

Lieutenant Semenova was a brilliant geneticist, so engineering a virus specifically for the Kino people would be relatively easy.

The lieutenant was busy manipulating the computer.

"I've decided to take a neurodegenerative approach. "

" We want an airborne virus that is highly contagious during its incubation period of approximately three weeks. Followed by a 100% mortality rate."

"Thank you Lieutenant. I don't need all the details, just as long as it works"

"Yes sir. That wont be a problem"
