 “ It wasn't long before the door to the bar was pushed open, several LDA Agents would be seen stepping inside, suits, ties and all. Plasma pistols holstered at their sides as a figure clad in a suit and a special chain of office was seen. A Scowl upon his face as he stormed through the bar. Eyes on Kynala Zarek would move to have a portable communicator placed on a table. "I am Sire Thomas Zarek, member of Parliament of the Aschen Confederation, Miles you here?" Miles Hagan would then appear on a screen. "I'm here." Miles replied as Zarek nodded. "Very well.. it's time to straighten up this mess." ”

 “ Zarek said nothing as Miles Hagan spoke up. Miles too owned a good portion of property. Several mining companies were under the ownership of Tech Con group, as were a few construction companies. Miles too had a stake in the city. In a flash of light, Miles Hagan would appear at the round table in the empty room. ”

 “ "Now let's get these negotiations underway, firstly, Parliament has authorized an increased presence of Military to ensure the protection of Aschen civilians and Tech Con personnel operating within the city, as well as the Trinnium bases, I apologize for the recent events, with the Coalition attack. With the unwarranted deaths of Aschen Citizens, we had to act to protect our interests."

Miles Hagan: I have to agree with Sire Zarek on this matter, as I have several property holdings on Terra, including the Tech Con base, as well as several mines in the mountains outside Wing City, and several office buildings within Wing City, Tech Con is willing to negotiate a more.. attractive resolution, however we at Tech Con call Armarx out in it's lack of response when the Coalition attacked, prompting the Aschen Military to deploy it's assets to ensure our safety, but due to the recklessness of the AHSC, Tech Con is willing to purchase the damaged buildings, and rebuild them." ”

 “ "The Aschen Military will remain here on Terra, until it is safe to withdraw them, if Armarx took a more firm stance against the Coalition invasion, then this wouldn't have happened, but this blatent bias towards the Confederation will not be tolerated, it's blatant racism, and my people will not be persecuted simply for their allegiance or genetics, what would you do it every Terran on Langara was persecuted? if LDA Detained anyone that was terran? Our military is in the process of pulling out, but I have an obligation to protect my civilians. You would do the same in my shoes, the Agent will be reprimanded for her actions, she has had a history." Zarek explained.

Miles Hagan: She's an agent of the Langaran Defense Agency acting in the protection of Tech Con assets, but why don't we avoid this, I'll slide fifty billion Cubits your way for 90% of Gambit's shares." ”

 “ Either way I expect Aschen civilians to be looked after, as for the heavy weaponry, did you not bring in security capable of easily dealing with the Agent mentioned? Surely you too are guilty of overkill. The Agent stepped slightly out of bounds however there are other ways of dealing with that, maybe instead of confronting her directly you should have contacted Admiral Cain, who could have asked the Agent to leave." Zarek then turned to Claire. "Perhaps I should make use of different personnel to occupy the bar when Tech Con is there. I'll have Angel re-assigned to LDA headquarters, and Admiral Cain assigned to Picon Fleet, while assigning Commander Adama to deal with orbital traffic with Tech Con." He then looked to Kynala. "If Aschen personnel were treated with respect maybe they wouldn't feel the need, the Tanks and other personnel were passing through, your vans were in the way. I'll be sure to... have LDA look into OmniCorp assets on Langara for validity."

 Miles Hagan: "Perhaps Sire Zarek... it will be more appropriate to allow Tech Con to deal with the situation on Terra.. and I promise Miss Evantus... if OmniCorp expands on Langara... I have friends in high places.. they will be dealt with." He warned then cleared his throat. "Tech Con engineers are free to visit any public establishment in the city, if you're banning Aschen from frequenting obvious public property that's blatant racism, I think Tech Con is capable of working it's own security... and will be taken seriously, Sire Zarek.. I think we can handle it." ”

 When the black SUV faded off into the distance, a black motorcycle would pull up, an older man in a leather jacket, ruffled hair and a rather rugged appearance would be seen. Turning the bike off he would place his hands into his pockets. "This place has some good booze." He said as he ducked inside, the man occasionally sneaking out to grab the occasional drink at Gambit's, away from politics, and rumors of Prefecures wanting to secede from the Confederation.

 While Marlene was in the bar coordinating LDA efforts, a man in a brown suit with a bright red tie would be seen entering the bar. He wore a chain of office and seemed to be a scruffy old man. Hair combed somewhat neatly as he walked through the bar. "Gods damnit why do I always have to do damage control." Zarek said as he looked to Fuatari. "You the new boss here?" He asked as he spoke. "I'd like to see your superiors please." He said as he looked to the battle. "If you can stop fighting for a moment." He grumbled.

 "I'm trying to resolve the situation your bosses so... gleefully caused." Zarek said as he shifted his weight. "I am Sire Thomas Zarek, I represent the Prefecture of Sagittaria, and I sit on the Aschen Confederation's Parliament, I want to know why a Tech Con asset was illegally seized?" He asked as he looked Fuatari in the eyes. "Clearly this is an attempt for Armarx to destroy the Confederation, I want answers."

 "And what about the men who work for Tech Con? They will lose their jobs.. and what about Aschen Geopolitical interests in Terra? And what about Article Five? Considering who Hagan is wouldn't he also have diplomatic immunity of some kind? Surely there has to be a way to get Tech Con their assets back, or place the assets under our control to secure our metal supply... these assets will go on auction correct? I could purchase them in the name of the Prefecture of Sagittaria.."

 "Hrm..." Zarek said as he stroked his chin. "I hope yourself, and Armarx is aware.. that in the event the metals are cut.. and our demands are many, Tech Con was mining several million tons of Trinnium a day, if this metal is cut off, measures will be taken. Aschen ships will remain in orbit as previously agreed upon, I expect to be notified when the auction.. or why don't we skip the auction part.. how much does Armarx want for these assets?"

 "Well... perhaps we should make this easier... there's a vein of Trinnium to the south of the city, Tech Con controlled the ones to the north, so I think I'll have Admiral Cain land some engineering forces in the mountains to begin mining operations... the Prefecture of Sagittaria would like to purchase this land for five million cubits a square Thousametron." Zarek added. "I just want this whole thing to go away.. if Armarx is willing to overturn the conviction, I will personally ensure Hagan takes care of the arrest warrant, I trust he will be treated with dignity however."

 "Oh no.. the mountains to the south are nowhere near a red zone, we have the zones mapped out on the city grid by our ships in orbit." He added before he looked around at the bar. "LDA is using Gambit's to conduct operations to spy on the Coalition as well as conduct operations against Red Halo, This bar is essential to Aschen operations in the area... How many cubits will it take to secure this bar?"

 "Anything you want.. I just want this bar." Zarek said as he thought for a moment. "Keep the Centurions.. I'm sure I can hire a human staff.. or of you want to upgrade them for the bar be my guest, LDA just wants this bar to conduct operations. It's also been a good source of income and cultural exchange for the Aschen, whatever you need I'll arrange it." Zarek said, glad to get somewhere.

We need to remain here to watch the Coalition... and secure our resources.. There's another Aschen company.. it's a little smaller then Tech Con and not as corrupt.. the Virgis corporation, based out of Virgon.. no one's heard of them.. would they work?"
