[UNIFIED GALACTIC BROADCAST — AUGUST 4, 2525]
🎙️ Live from the Andromeda Peace Citadel
After a 25-year interstellar war, the unthinkable has finally happened: peace.
Representatives Marco, Daniel, Sebastian, and Joe—former Terran generals turned emissaries—stood side by side with Queen Zagara of the Zerg Swarm and High Executor Selendis of the Protoss Conclave in the glowing amphitheater of The United Galaxy Council.
A hush fell over the Milky Way as the declaration was read aloud, simultaneously translated in 98 billion languages:
“We, the children of Earth, Aiur, and Char, do hereby lay down our arms. The time of war is over. The time of peace begins. No longer shall blood soak the stars. Today, the stars shine on us all equally.”
🕊️ PEACE SELLS… AND THE GALAXY BOUGHT
Joe, now known as The Janissary of the Void, stepped forward to close the ceremony:
“I used to think Zerg were monsters. I used to call Protoss fanatics. But over 25 years of battle, I saw something terrifying: their honor. Their sacrifice. Their love for their people. And I realized—we were all being played. By fear. By the war economy. By the puppet masters.”
He held up the Treaty of Solara, signed in psionic ink, human blood, and creep slime.
“They said peace was impossible. They said it didn’t sell. But you know what? Peace sells. And this time… the galaxy bought.”
🌌 Key Treaty Terms:
- Zerg Creep Demilitarized Zone across the Korpulu Sector
- Protoss-Khaydarin Energy Exchange Program to power Terran cities
- Human-Zerg Genetic Research Treaty, led by Sebastian
- Joint Galactic Reconstruction Fund, chaired by Marco
- Cultural Exchange Program, led by Daniel (including psionic drum circles and Zerg poetry readings)
A fireworks display erupted from Earth to Char, synchronized across wormholes. A final Megadeth track played through galactic comms:
“Peace sells… but who’s buying?”
Answer: The whole damn galaxy.
