Angry, John Holliday stormed into the cafe. He paid little mind as he blew by Dane Summers and mistakenly bumped into Reggie Waverly as he passed. As he walked, his robes parted a bit in the passing air revealing the two pistols he kept hidden inside. Upon reaching the bar, his robes settled but Doc didn't. He took a seat and bellowed at the barkeep, "Norman, whiskey, straight up!" Norman didn't argue, placing a shot glass and the bottle before Doc who immediately poured a shot and downed it only to repeat it again.
Then he sat, angry, making comments under his breath. Still most around him could hear them.
"Baroness Snowdown," he muttered, slamming his fist on the bar simotaneously, "that Bretonian Bitch! At least now I know her intentions."
He poured another shot and downed it as Norman could only watch, concerned that his old friend was regressing back to something he once was and didn't want to be anymore.
"Summer!" Doc bellowed, wanting to speak with him. Once Dane arrived, he lowered his tone and lectured him, "Give them nothing! Bretonia wants your base and more or less admitted that if you don't do as they ask.....I mean demand, they'll just board your base and take it like the expansionists bastards that they are."
Doc forced a soft smile, "I believe you have a group there that is second to none in hand to hand combat and are numerous in number. Gorkon leads them I do believe."
It was then that his datapad chime went off with a message. As Doc read it, he smirked. "It would appear that Queen Carina herself wants to speake with me. Maybe I'll have better luck speaking with her than her cronie!"
As Doc composed himself an put himself back together, he went to speak with Reggie and Dane.
"I must leave this conference, Reggie," he began, "I would appreciate it if you would fill in for me as needed. It's simple. I don't give a damn what Snowdown claims, I signed nothing so these so-called treaties with us are not recognized."
He then addressed both him and Dane, "Like I said, give them nothing. Omega 3 is still a neutral zone as far as I'm concerned so we don't recognize there claim."
He then smirked, "I still hold the original agreement to the Port Jackson Accords since I both negotiated it and signed it. They keep pushing, they can take all of their people off of the colony as well." His face then went straight, "I've had enough. I don't bluff!"
He then gathered his shuttle crew to make his way for New London.
