Press
Romulans:
Praxis was worried. He had contacted Earthling savages about raiding
provinces near their desert home and the Emperors best troops to make
this Empire the biggest the Earth had known. Suddenly Accalia his
advisor burst in the room holding a gold looking bar.
"Sir, news from the front."
"Well then spit it out man and give me that thing your holding."
"Yes sir."
"The barbarians were paid off in gold pressed Latinum they visited the
capital of the Carthaginians and hauled off a lot of stuff for life in
the desert and paid for it in Latinum. The Elite troops fared little
better . I am sorry sir but you have been given the genetic disease of
crapitosis. All Romulans who have gone to this space time reality have
had."
Shaken, Praxis asked "How long do I have to live??"
"Well sir you are almost 62 years old, About 30 years with technology help."
