A Story About Gods
"Karla did I ever tell you about the religion of the Naobolla race?" Rokan casually asked as he leaned back against the captain's chair and put his feet up on the desk.
[No commander you have not]
A cold metallic voice replied to his words.
The voice came from the starship's onboard artificial intelligence unit which Rokan had affectionately nicknamed 'Karla'.
She was his only companion over the last few days.
"Well, its quite a strange belief… so members of the Naobolla race believe that the universe, life and everything was created by a group of god-like beings," Rokan continued to chat while raising up his hand to his mouth to cover a yawn.
"These beings formed a sort of 'Council' so basically, they created the universe, set the motions in place, and then did nothing. The Naobolla believe that their gods are completely and utterly indifferent."
