The LC meets the Harappans
Greetings mellow readers. When Harappans first arrived on Earth they did so filled with excitement at the possibility of establishing formal relations between the two occupied human worlds.
The Earthers had a different view of this meeting. The LC took the stand that Harappa was an Earth possession since it was discovered and founded by subjects of the LC, humans from Earth.
They insisted that the Harappans were all subjects of the LC. The Harappans were told that they could either move to Earth or stay on Harappa, but only if they agreed to submit to LC control.
We now know that their intention was to take over governance of Harappa by force if needed. Fortunately history tells us they were never able to accomplish this.
Geoffrey Swain one of the Harappan Ambassadors was also a Johnson Scholar. He argued with the officials in Johnson’s Corner but made no headway.
It wasn’t until the LC started loosing their hegemony that the Harappan delegation was treated with any diplomatic respect. Eventually the SID removed them from Johnson’s Corner and engaged them in formal negotiations between the two worlds.
Little did we know then that the SID, originally our savior on Earth, would become such villains.
Never mix red wine with Oodo.
