First Baffin Zoner Zummit at The Zenarch, Malaclypse Freeport

[n00bl3t]

Behind his focused eyes, Parkes' mind started whirring furiously, processing the information Lacroix was telling him.

"A negotiation with the Omicron's most prominent Zoner group, Gallia invading, safety not being a concern." His mind was juggling all the pieces and trying to arrange them.

"A weapon. It must be." Parkes mind had reached a conclusion. There was nothing else that fit the bill of clues that Lacroix had shared.

He didn't say anything about his conclusion though, because it would mean questioning what weapon the Phoenix had in the Omicrons.

"Mr Lacroix, I think we should indeed meet up for a more private talk once this gathering is over. I think we'll have plenty to discuss." Parkes said, nodding slightly at Lacroix's suggestion.

"Unfortunately though, I'll be a terrible host and you'll have to bring the wine." Parkes chuckled, knowing that Freeport 11 would probably never import Gallic wine.

Anything I say is not intended as offensive, and to try and deliberately misinterpret it as such would be an attempt at trolling via misrepresentation.

It's not a conspiracy, it's localised bias. They're not intelligent enough to form a conspiracy.
