Treaty at Doona

Treaty at Doona

FOR THE GOOD OF THE PLANET? OR THE DESTRUCTION OF AN ALLIANCE?

Several years after resolving a crisis of treachery on Doona, the Humans and Hrrubans encounter a new threat to their peaceful coexistence ...
The Gringgs are not the first alien visitors to Doona, but they are the first to offer friendshipâ€”and a proposal to partake in a trade agreement being drawn up by Doonaâ€™s leaders. Some are willing to trust the Gringgs; others question their true motives ... and a battle of diplomatic unrest ensues.
With Doonaâ€™s military forces at the ready, the planet once again falls under the dark shadow of uncertaintyâ€”and the threat of self-destruction ...

AN URGENT PLEA

â€œIâ€™ll have to put the matter to the Amalgamated Worlds Administration on Earth before we can discuss this further,â€ Smitral was saying. â€œIn the meantime, I am glad to see we continue with the spirit of cooperation that has characterized this world of Rraladoon for thirty years.â€
â€œPardon me,â€ Todd said, edging adroitly between the two diplomats, I see little evidence of cooperation in your faces but a lot of wariness. Speaker Hrrto, would you like to know what the Gringg asked for in our talks?â€
â€œReeve, no!â€ Markudian cried, outraged.
â€œMarkudian, yes!â€ Todd said, rounding on him. â€œ I see this as a real test of Rraldoonan integrity, not Hayuman/Hrruban competition. Consider this,â€ he went on urgently, looking around the circle. â€œOne of the reasons the Gringg thought we were a single species was the way we worked together. I was delighted by that because it showed weâ€™d learned to trust each other. But the first stir of the pot from outside and we separate into distrustfulâ€”and greedyâ€”strangers.â€ Todd stared at each one in turn, his glance gliding over Greeneâ€™s smug expression. â€œSo letâ€™s reinstate the honesty we have always used in dealings on Rraladoon.â€
