While Church would be conducted every week, the events were not always of major importance and really mandatory. It was a time where members could get together, talk, and do deals among each other or settle some disputes or problems. While there were problems that had been discussed, non compared for what this discussion was about. As the members came in to the secret meeting room, they were all aware of what was going on. The threat was clear. Sunny would walk in a few minutes after everyone else. While usually the place was active with exotic entertainers service drinks, laughter, and jokes coming from one place to another, the room stank with serious atmosphere.
Sunny spoke out, breaking the silence as everyone watched and waited for him to begin.
"Bering Chapter. Brothers. I am sorry for your loss. We know it's all bull$#!t. Unfortunately, sooner or later it had to be done. The true colors of who we called our friends have been shown to us. It's a shame it had come about this way. Freeport 2 served as Bering's chapter. We will now be looking for a replacement."
Sunny stood up. The spotlight that was illuminating his face now only showed his jacket as he started to pace the room around the large table. "I had thought the Unioners would be a valuable Ally. They showed potential. Promise. I guess the simple request to have them 'fix' their puppet had failed for them. It's funny... you all saw the transmission, didn't you? They said we failed at diplomacy..."
He chuckled a little. The room was silent. Everyone knew it wasn't funny.
"Diplomacy... They wouldn't know diplomacy if it got stuck in their ass! If you give someone a slot in their plan, you %$#@in' better respect 'em. They had shown respect to all the other members of their little group, but us? Nothing. Even daring to insult us by offering to have us moved like refugees to their station. Yeah... so we could be watched over like dogs!" Sunny's fist moved to the table and slammed down hard. He sighed heavily and continued.
"Its funny... really funny that they have the nerve to tell us we are useless when I myself offer to help them in their little siege problem. Obviously, they ignore it. Obviously, it's like they say one thing when they really mean another. If they were really in danger, they would be looked for all the help and allies they could get! If they were really our friends, they would have cared to help and stick up for us against... Jimmy..." He spits on the floor and grinds the sole of his shoe on it. "&^%$ him. The bastard. I should have knocked him in the face.
"While it's in our interest to not show off our true potential, I sometimes fantasies what would happen if we were to set off Freeport 2 with one of our NEMP bombs. Better yet, a big giant finger to Unioners and Pacifica..." Sunny laughs, the room erupting in murmurs and nods or grunts.
"BUT... We're not stupid. I won't go down that road unless necessary. We're better off working on our mission objectives without all of sirius knowing our true potential. I called you all here for advice. Tell me your thoughts on what you'd like to do to the Unioners and their little group now that we will declare them as enemies to The Club. It's a shame to them that they think we are all just weak and good for nothing. It's yet another mistake they make."
