'Where did you first hear it called Primus Prime? And from what Maktu's told me, there were few human crafts landing on Primus. So how did you manage to get onto the planet?'
[17:45:39] Wolfs Ghost (Murphy): Tom, you have problems. Go kill yourself.
[19:25:12] Johnny (Jam): Tomtom, I will beat you with a spoon.
[14:22:56] Prarabdh Thakur: KILL HIM WITH A SHEEP.
[17:40:48] Eagle (Junes): Tom should be slapped with a spoon.
[11:32:18] Warspite: Thank you for being so awesome Tom. <3
[18:17:36] Metano: I love you tomtom
[20:06:24] Warspite: I will seriously give you epic head.

Ian shrugged. "Ricardo called it Primus Prime, something about being the first of a new age and that nonsense. He was the one who took me there, landed right next to the Spore Queen's compound, on a small landing pad. I had to wear an environmental suit, but Ricardo and his son went without somehow."
gone four years, first day back: Zoners still getting shot in Theta :|
"The war does not go well. The Xi'an got really heavily beat up against the Trotsky and then again in our fighting retreat against the Xeno's. We've been lucky to survive, however we are like a wounded tiger. At our most dangerous when we are hurting."
He looked at the two gunboats moored out the window.
"What you see there is two thirds of our gunboat fleet! How can we possibly go toe-to-toe against the Volkhan and retake our home?!"
He sighed before listening intently to the conversation about Primus Prime.
Miller decided to allow Chun to into the conversation. He'd heard too much now and telling him to shoo would seem to suspicious.
'Primus Prime seems to be planet Primus,' Miller said to the both of them. 'I'll ask Maktu and Bobby later about Primus being called that at any time in their history. Seems to make sense though.
'I'll also ask them about the compound you mentioned. The Primusians allowed an alien entity known as the Spore to settle on their planet and I think that this is the entity you're referring too. I can call Maktu and Bobby here to answer our questions, as this revelation could be incredibly interesting to discuss with them.'
He rose his right wrist to his mouth, and spoke quickly into the device, requesting that Maktu and Bobby be escorted from their quarters on the Dromedary to the bar.

[font=Cambria]Wexler wasn't exactly a people person, naturally he possessed adequate social skills to follow through a conversation but he always preferred isolation over inclusion. However he had returned to Dom Hryaka to meet Colonel Razin for an update about the latest skirmishes in Omega-50. For the moment Lt. Colonel Alesky was finishing up on the final details to initiate Operation Red Riot which surrounded the rescue of Doctor XiaoBei. He was somewhere off in the Omegas, or the Omicrons, in all honesty Wexler had no clue where he exactly was currently.
Interestingly enough he had from his dark corner of the bar overheard the conversation between Miller and Holmes, he gave off a light chuckle hearing them throw random theories out on how to possibly rescue Doctor XiaoBei. He waited for a pause in their conversation before he stepped in with his words, still comfortably leaning against his bean-bag taking puffs from an old smoke pipe he had been given from his father a long time ago.
[color=#FF5555]"Comrades, you two should not be worrying about such important matters, I suggest you simply enjoy your time here whilst you still can."
Miller looked at the new arrival in their conversation. Lieutenant Colonel Lukas Wexler. Miller didn't know him, rarely spoke with him.
'We're onto something here comrade,' he replied hastily to Wexler, 'something that could help remove the hold of the Nerve Staples. Rescuing XiaoBei is our best hope, but it's best to have our eggs in more than one basket. I've called down the leading Primusians to answer some questions regarding the entity they know as the Spore.'
[17:45:39] Wolfs Ghost (Murphy): Tom, you have problems. Go kill yourself.
[19:25:12] Johnny (Jam): Tomtom, I will beat you with a spoon.
[14:22:56] Prarabdh Thakur: KILL HIM WITH A SHEEP.

[font=Cambria]Wexler calmly nodded in a disagreeing manner. He knew the resources the Rebels possessed and it was not enough for more than one shot at this, it would not fall down onto someone he hardly knew.
[color=#FF5555]"Comrade with all due respect, you will do no such thing. Your leadership has already planned for the inevitable, there is no time for more deals, talking or planning. I understand your desire to help but the best way you can help right now is to follow orders."
Ling stared at the two gunboats outside as the conversation ebbed and flowed between Miller and Wexler.
"You're right, we won't have more than one chance at anything Comrade Wexler, just look out there! You can never doubt our resolve, but eventually we will run out of ships."
He stared into his Vodka.
"The Xi'an will be ready for the inevitable."
He stood up and looked at Wexler in the eye.
"You just better know what you are doing comrade, or the first thing you will feel of your failure will be my sword cutting your spine in half."
Miller stared at him for a moment. What were Wexler's motives? He hardly knew the man, so couldn't even begin to guess.
'Comrade, if we are not allowed free thought in the form of this discussion, why did we bother avoiding the Nerve Stapling? A harmless discussion in a bar would do no harm. I for one am curious as to the Spore's nature on Primus, so I'll either ask Maktu and Bobby the questions now in the bar, or later in my quarters. There's no harm in asking.'
He spotted Maktu and Bobby entering the bar with two marines, and gestured them over. Maktu still intimidated him at times, standing at eight feet. And Bobby still made him chuckle with his rastafarian hat and long braided hair.
Maktu placed his right hand over his heart and bowed slightly. Miller returned the gesture as best he could from his sitting position.
'Commissar Miller, I understand you summoned us.' Maktu examined the people involved in the conversation. He could sense the tension. 'Is something wrong?'
[17:45:39] Wolfs Ghost (Murphy): Tom, you have problems. Go kill yourself.
[19:25:12] Johnny (Jam): Tomtom, I will beat you with a spoon.

[font=Cambria]Wexler lifted himself up from the bean-bag he was resting on, now being threatened to be killed by some Captain.
"Glad of you to share your opinion Ling."
He then moved towards Miller who once more attempted to put his own ambitions above the Rebel movement.
[color=#FF5555]"So let me get this straight. First you have an idea to talk to aliens of which the Rebels have no knowledge about, then you wish to deliver them the most top-priority goal the Rebels have now effectively informing them of our plans without even considering the possibility of it back-firing. Then when your superiors tells you that they already have a plan in motion to achieve this top-priority goal you try to lecture me on the concept of freedom of speech to justify your second attempt of disobeying direct orders.
