The Revealers

Bu'shoto and Zap'ffe were two young Logokonian explorers, sent on a mission to reveal new truths in distant galaxies and planets. They had trained for years at the Academy of Revelations, memorizing various truths learned by the Logokonians over generations. As they set off on their journey, they were filled with excitement and determination to uncover new knowledge for their people.

As they traveled through space, they encountered many different alien worlds, each one unique and fascinating in its own way. But nothing could have prepared them for what they found when they landed on a planet they had never seen before. As they stepped out of their spacecraft, they were met with a strange and unfamiliar landscape. The cities were in ruins, with buildings crumbling and streets overgrown with weeds. There were no signs of struggle or violence, just a quiet and peaceful decay.

As they ventured further into the planet, they found clues as to what had happened to the inhabitants. They discovered that this planet was called Earth and that it had once been home to an intelligent race of beings. But there were no signs of them left, only the crumbling remains of a people who had gone extinct around the end of what they learned was known as the "21st century" in Earth reckoning.

Bu'shoto and Zap'ffe were horrified by what they had discovered. They had never encountered a dead civilization before, and the thought of an entire species going extinct was overwhelming. They began to search for answers, studying the remains of the cities and reading ancient texts left behind by the inhabitants.

As they delved deeper into the mystery of Earth's extinction, they came across a journal written by one of the last inhabitants of the planet. In the journal, the writer described how they had come to the realization that life was a burden for those born into it, and that it was best to prevent suffering for future generations. They had decided to stop procreation and let their civilization die out peacefully.

Bu'shoto and Zap'ffe were shocked and horrified by what they had discovered. In their own culture, they were taught that one must do what is most logical for the community if new information was discovered from their travels to other galaxies. But they were torn, as they knew that if they shared this information with their own people, they would force the community to follow the same path, resulting in the extinction of their species.

As they stood in the ruins of Earth, surrounded by the evidence of a civilization that had chosen extinction as the logical solution to suffering, they were faced with a moral dilemma. They could either share the information and risk the extinction of their own people or keep it a secret and let the cycle of suffering continue. Bu'shoto and Zap'ffe knew that they had to make a decision, but it was not an easy one. The fate of their people rested on their shoulders and they knew that whatever decision they made, it would change their world forever.

Bu'shoto sat in the council chambers, his mind in turmoil. He had spent the last several weeks debating with his friend and shipmate Zap'ffe about the truth they had discovered on their journey through the distant galaxy. The truth was simple yet devastating - the best way to end all burdens and sufferings was to stop procreating. If they revealed this truth to their people on Lomoponia, their entire civilization would die out.

Zap'ffe was firmly in favor of hiding the truth, even though it went against their prime directive to always reveal what they found. He argued that it would be too tragic for the Logokons to accept, and that they would be better off not knowing. But Bu'shoto was torn. He knew that this truth, while extremely tragic-seeming, solved the problem of suffering. It was a simple yet effective revelation.

As the council session began, Bu'shoto stood up to speak. He explained their discovery and the moral dilemma they faced. He presented the evidence they had gathered and the logical reasoning behind their conclusion. The council listened attentively, and when he finished, there was a long silence.
Finally, one of the council members spoke up. "The truth is a harsh thing, but it is our duty to reveal it, no matter the cost," he said. "We must form committees to get this information out to the population, and let them make the decision for themselves."

The council nodded in agreement, and the decision was made. Bu'shoto felt a sense of relief wash over him. He had done the right thing, even if it was difficult. He knew that the truth would be hard for his people to accept, but he also knew that it was the only way to truly end suffering.

As the committees formed and the information was disseminated to the population, Bu'shoto watched as his people grappled with the truth. Some were horrified and refused to accept it, while others saw the logic and wisdom in the revelation. But through it all, Bu'shoto knew that he had done the right thing, even if it meant the end of his people. He had upheld the Logokon's strict adherence to truth, and that was all that mattered.
