Snippet #1246989

Cathy wanted to object when Saber said that he would stay outside, that was just crazy, he had technology that was beyond her, making her trench gun feel even more unsafe than it had before. She stood by Max as the General and the Prime Minister stood with him, the PM seemed to be trying to stare him down, he'd puffed up his chest and squared his shoulders, red faced and glaring. Baxter looked pleased.

"We will not be leaving the gate open Saber," was the only thing that Baxter said, and Cathy could see that this was a wise decision, it would be too much too soon for the PM, he would need a lot of gentle convincing when the council gathered. The PM was still speechless, so Baxter took control. Squaring his shoulders he stepped forward. "We will discuss this matter through the night, you will have your answer by midday. We will open the gate for you then." He saluted and Cathy went rigid again as he turned to her and she saluted him. He marched away. The PM gave a smile, the colour had drained from his face. "Well, I best summon the councillors. Saber." he bowed his head, "Private. Max." two more head nods and he returned to his office and slammed the door behind him. Two minutes later and he came over the radio, his cheerful voice echoed through the life system as he called the council to him.

Cathy licked her lips, and looked to Saber, "I shall take you back to the gate then." she smiled a little, "Don't worry, I think the General will have his way, and I know that the Mechanic councillor will be on his side, right Max?"

Tyler nodded to Kianne, "They'll be by the PMs office, the gate or in one of their rooms. Not too many options then?" He distantly wondered if Cathy still wanted to kill him. He sighed. Thy moved through the corridors, and Tyler heard many rumours flying about concerning Saber, Lucas was forgotten, the last memory of him would be shown when a candle was lit for him, and that would soon burn out. "Be careful when we approach Cathy though, she might shoot me."
