What about rivalry between Grand Duchy of Baden and Kingdom of Württemberg?
Explain Aliens the historic but more sportive/funny clinch.
I think it will need a lot of time and a lot of efforts, videos, history books and more to explain that...
But let there be a little story about it...
(i am a german dude writing an english story - yeah, there will be some mistakes)
Galmaro’xa hears some rumors and angry voices, mixed with laughter and other sound.
Why always in the human part of the ship?
He move towards the noise, catching louder voices of the human-crewmates and then - silence.
Some very loud howling fowllowed.
“What are they doing?” Galmaro’xa thought as he heard again an angry voice.
The big room was open all the time, most of the human crew members in there.
They talk to each other, but the software was not responding to it - as it was no language or no language which was translated in the past since the first appearance of humans on the galactic stage.
As he stepped in, again that loud howling - most of the humans seems to be excited - only 2 in the center seems not that happy. They were Human - Stefan and Human - Lukas he recogniced. Specialiced fighters. He started to be worried.
Human -Serena stands near him, a female human, he managed to understand a little bit. She’s working as interpreter for the Galactic Council and is on board for years. Longer than himself, he noticed.
“Human - Serena, whats going on? What are Human - Stefan and Human - Lukas doing? They got a dispute? Are they in some of your strange cultural traditions? Dueting i think you mentioned the last time?”
“Hey Galmaro’xa. It was a “Duel” so it would be "duelling” but no, not exactly - i can’t understand them, too. I’m picking up some german words, but not exactly.”
“Ger-m-an?”
“Yes, another important language on our planet - not that big, but played some important role a long time ago and the nation both come from is still economicaly very powerful.
“Ah, yes” He had no clue, why a minor language could be important. If it’s not important anymore, why still speaking? He asked Human - Serena the last part.
“No thats not how it works on our planet - every language belongs more or less to a nation. German was important in a period of time, in which a lot of scientific discoveries were made. Chemestry, physics, biology, nuclear, higher advanced physics.”
“Ah, yes, Human, but what are they speaking now? If its not german, could it be some other form of german - you tell me about your different english languages...” He will ask that scientific-language linking later...
“Oh my god, yes for sure! How could i not think of this? Let me adjust my translator-software to that... thank you Galmaro’xa...”
Galmaro’xa show some colors of irritation - could it be that easy?
During the talk with Human - Serena the two combatants in the center of the other humans showing some strange mimic and bearing - last time he saw that, was, as the Xeltata attaced some uninteresting colony of the human on some not important mining asteroid.
Not that it would be worth mentioning, but that Xeltata aren’t alive anymore...
“YES, I GOT IT!” yells Human - Serena.
Galmaro’xa skin get an orange tone - he was getting angry and a little bit frustrated. What was going on?
“Would you accept an update for your translator?”, Human - Serena asks.
Galmaro’xa tapped on his device and there was it.
“Oh [not classified expletive] your Kingdom of swabia is a stupid and underdeveloped region - why else do you think the [not classified human historical form of polity] Baden was forced to merge? Not for your swabian [not classified human meal] or that swabian [not classified human meal].” Human - Stefan shouted in a very angry voice. The crowed laughes and all looking at Human - Lukas.
“So, what? It was and is a big mistake, that we’re still together - and it’s called Kingdom of Württemberg, [?yellowfoot?], foolish - the economical power, for sure, come not only from your wood in the black forest, you know, [not classified vehicle branch] would have get us more wealthier than everyone else, but no - some [?yellowfoots?] weren’t able to live alone ...” Galmaro’xa take an inner note for asking about that black forest thing.
Human - Stefan interrupt: “Thats half the truth [not classified vehicle branch] was foundet in [not classified town in northern hemissphere of human-first-planet], [not classified vehicle branch] was foundet in [not classified town in northern hemissphere of human-first-planet] - they were fusioned by a [economical labor designation] - talking and not knowing what about, mh?”
Another human asks “Really?! Never heard that before - but now [not classified vehicle branch] is one of the global player in [not classified vehicle-type]-production.“
Gamaro’xa had enough. He stepped out of the room, Human - Stefan and Human - Lukas still debating loudly.
“Everything okay? Your colour shows me, that you are a little bit confused?” asks Human - Serena.
“Why and what were they arguing about? Why are they so angry? This is a duel and you will not say me because one will be dead soon? And why is nobody concerned about? Is this ordinary human behavior? Is anything ordinary in your culture at all? Why are you everytime in a fighing behavior...” everything blured out of Galmaro’xa
“Hey, hey hey, stopstopstop, nothing’s bad here, i do not understand them either!” Human - Serena trys to calm him down. “I think they are arguing about their home area and they will not fight - i think..” “You THINK?” “I’m more than sure that both will not kill - they are good friends - i’m really sure. But debating is a big thing on earth - even with friends.” tried Human-Serena to calm down the situation.
Gamaro’xa shimmers in multiple colours. “Everything will be fine? But why they’re fighting at all? Is this common on earth? I’m happy the humans are our allies, but how can i understand them if you, a higly educated human, is not capable to understand?
“I don’t know - i know, that the german had a lot of fights in the past and have another and difficult way of founding their nation - do you have some time for a history lesson?” said Human -Serena “Where is the next connection-point?” She grabbed his upper limb and look at him with her green, asking eyes.
Garmaro’xa agreed to follow and show her the connection point - why always these humans? There is no week without trouble. He mentioned himself to write whole new parts of the humans-guide - book. It’s important for every other intelligent species to know about that behavior. Strange, strange humans...
