Ptaah:
As we explained to you at that time – to which we obliged you to remain silent – an attack on Earth could have taken place, namely by a large armada of space planes of a planet-wide dictatorially led and warlike multi-ethnic state from the same space-time structure from which we Plejaren also come. These peoples, who did not belong to the Plejaren Federation, were very warlike and conquest-addicted in nature, similar to Earth human beings. They had been constantly fighting with their own races for more than 1,700 years, and at that time they were about to penetrate the space-time structure of the DERN universe through their space technology, on the same path that also gives us the possibility to enter this dimension, where the Milky Way galaxy and therefore also the SOL system and Earth are located. With us, the Plejaren, these peoples maintained constant and contentious contacts, and often warlike actions were also threatened, because the dictatorial powers of the planetary multi-ethnic state called 'Hardem' were constantly trying to invade and conquer the Plejaren worlds. As a result, we had to be on constant defensive alert to these peoples – while also keeping our secrets, which were related to many things of our technology and which we had to protect – in order to protect ourselves against these ever-present aggressors. But through infamous machinations they managed to get hold of the technology regarding the possibility of breaking through into other space-time structures, so they learned to master them in the course of time and also gained knowledge regarding the DERN-space-time structure and the Milky Way as well as the SOL system and the Earth. Then, however, about 95 Earth years ago, a completely different form of government was introduced and other rulers came to power, more peace-loving, but still subject to the urge for war and conquest, but to a somewhat lesser extent than the dictatorial rulers. Consequently, they tried to join our Plejaren Federation, but they were denied the possibility of being admitted, with the possibility of being admitted if they would give up all their warlike conduct and make peace in every respect, which they were not prepared to do. In 1918, through some unpleasant events, they learned of our efforts in the SOL system and on Earth, in terms of Earth years, so that from then on they tried to come into this space-time space-time continuum and to Earth, which we always managed to prevent. Then, however, from the terrestrial year 1977 on, new technical possibilities arose for the 'Hardem', which again increased the danger that they could attack Plejaren areas and also advance into the SOL system to Earth. According to our probability calculations, this could have been the case from 1995 on, which is why we Plejaren were advised to stay away from Earth at that time, in order to avoid getting involved in warlike actions with earthly-military armies and the 'Hardem', because our directives prohibit such actions on foreign worlds. So if the Hardem had attacked, we should not have done anything about it. This is also because otherwise there would have been serious conflicts with our Plejaren Federation in the form of a very vicious war with the 'Hardem' on their homeworld. So the only option was to withdraw from Earth, but we tried – as we had done for many decades – to negotiate with the Hardem and to dissuade them from their craft of war. In the end, it became generally accepted on 'Hardem' that a large group of people had an objective interest in the matter and that this led to a planet-wide overthrow of power, by which all dictatorial rulers – who had all united to form a common world dictatorship – were driven out and executed by armies accustomed to war and violence. In 1996, the whole thing actually led to the new rulers coming to their senses and taking care not to allow any more power-hungry people to emulate any kind of war and also to dissuade their peoples from the art of war. Through us and our allies in the federation we have been advising the 'Hardem' ever since, so that the war-loving peoples could also be pacified. Through our and our Federation's efforts and the manifold assistance provided, the peoples have been taught how to live peacefully and will also continue to do so. This has been going on since 1996, and fortunately the 'Hardem' are making a very serious effort to grow into a completely new way of life, which in just 16 years has led to the 'Hardem' being incorporated into our Plejaren Federation protection and thus becoming a candidate for our Plejaren Federation. It was only in this way that we were able to interfere in the foreign things and that it was also possible to stop the 'Hardem' from breaking through into your space-time structure and wreaking havoc on Earth. If this possibility would not have arisen for us, then it would have been possible for the warlike multi-ethnic state 'Hardem' that an attack on Earth could have taken place. According to our probability calculations, this would have been conquered, because Earth human beings would not have had anything to oppose the war technology and all weapon possibilities of the 'Hardem'. All this should not have been mentioned in contact reports back in 1995 etc., because the spreading of these reports would have caused a tremendous panic among Earth human beings in many places.
Billy:
You told me back then that you were negotiating with these 'Hardem', but that everything was on the knife edge. But your efforts have been successful, and that is important. The whole thing was very worrying at the time, but I always thought that maybe you could settle everything, which, according to you, was also the case. Although I was sometimes surprised that nothing threatening happened on Earth, and that you also said nothing more about it after you had given up and cleared away all your Earthly stations, I always thought that you would surely have a reason for your silence. I was also surprised that your contacts with me continued in the same frequent way. But now everything is clear to me and I think I understand that you only wanted to inform me about everything when everything was really going well – or am I wrong?
Ptaah:
Your assumption is correct. Although the 'Hardem' do not yet belong to the Plejaren Federation, they are under its protection, which ensures that they are no longer a threat. Next year I would have given you the necessary explanations, but now that you have come to speak on the matter yourself, my explanations today are of no consequence.
Billy:
I also understood that. Thanks for your explanations. But what interests me is this: You always speak of the 'Hardem' in a way that is also true of you Plejaren. You call yourselves Plejaren and your homeworlds also Plejaren. Is it the same with the 'Hardem', if they do not call themselves 'Hardemer' or similar, but as 'Hardem', equally also their world?
Ptaah:
That is indeed the case.
