Thought I might 'return' from CBR-retirement for a quick Labor-Day weekend space-fable about 'diplomacy' detention(s)! Hope you like,

Lucas was traveling around the universe with his laser-saber and encountered a dragon-species called Xenon and learned of its similarity to humanoids and their shared love of chess. He challenged the Xenon-prince Triska to a game of libertine-v-conservative chess and miraculously drew a stalemate-condition using rook-bishop double-lines which drew the interest of a third traveling non-humanoid species called the Centauri. The strange Centauri species were unlike any other alien intelligence ever encountered by other alien species such as Lucas' own species of humanoids from Earth or Venus. The Centauri always veiled themselves as neutral diplomats and never engaged with first-strike or competition agenda communiques and 'presented' to be a friendship-centric intelligence secretly hiding an agenda to perform incision experiments on gathered prisoners of other worlds/species.

CENTAURI: We mean you no harm and seek only diplomacy vessels for communication-studies of behavior identification/extrapolation in closed-quarters/close-quarters.

However, Lucas advised Triska that the Centauri were 'deceptively' dangerous, veiling incision-experimentation with this diplomacy-friendship 'shield' for encounter and extraction or even abduction. The Centauri wanted to re-present themselves as easily-likened to any mega-corporation of a species home-world which might be employing comparable/contoured forms of capitalism and then use its mega-shielded diplomacy-veil to extract/abduct members of the other worlds/species for private imprisonment and intolerable experimentation. Lucas decided to enlist the help of some of Triska's warrior-soldiers, called Predators, to attack a diplomacy-vessel of the Centauri which had presented itself as 'merely' a peaceful science-ship.

CENTAURI: We're dismayed/disoriented by this first-strike method and wonder about the quality of inter-species contact at this level of universal democracy.

However, Lucas decided not to defer from this mission with his Triska-allies against the Centauri and sneaked onto the 'science-ship' with his newfound Predators-legion and destroyed the interior laboratory of the Centauri vessel and left the strange anti-diplomacy note/message, "There's no agenda for diplomacy-IQ for chess or any other mechanics-oriented communications outside the border(s) of intelligible/intentional and/or shared deconstructive mutually-read science manuals or texts and therefore advise your diplomacy non-engagement remain simply that...a 'private' form of intention-neutral non-contact photography in the hospitable universe now."

DIARY-ENTRY (Lucas): Triska's short-lived alliance was profitable; Centauri are self-exiled floaters in space; returning to Earth/Venus for mission-IQ and some 'romance' chess diary!
