Ambassador Warner looked at his news feed: No wars, no riots, no criminal activity, no civil disturbances of any kind. His current diplomatic assignment was a newly discovered planet about twenty light-years from Earth.
The dominant species on the planet was an intelligent bovine-like creature called the "Kastus." Ambassador Warner found the Kastus to be warm and pleasant but they were also boring as hell. Since being posted to the Kastus homeworld he had not had anything even close to resembling a diplomatic crisis.
After one particularly boring day, Warner fantasized about creating a little excitement. The Kastus diet consisted of a variety of grasses grown by a network of computer-directed robots. After a bit of hacking, Warner was able to make some changes to the network and left a few signs that a sub-species of the Kastus called the"Jyfis" were responsible for the intrusion.
Warner's next step was to blow up a Jyfis building and leave clues that the Kastus were responsible. It wasn't long before he had a small-scale war going and he couldn't remember being so happy.
