After a long day of fierce discussion and seething, Xavier needed to unwind and let the troubles of the day be dispelled by some traditional GC cooking at Sophie's Cafe.
The day had been....an interesting one. Probably one of the most interesting to have ever happened since Xavier became a delegate on the council.
"Yet another party seeks the blood of Zoners, and for what? For being who we are." Xavier muttered to himself.
Earlier a group supposedly affiliated with the Queen's Forces of bretonia commenced a small hit and run on Canaria's Corsair residents. Things were getting out of control. First came the OPG issue, then the Ghost issue and now this. All of Siruis seemed against the Zoner way of life. As dramatic as that sounded it certaintly felt that way.
Xavier took a window seat in the GC cafe. "Sophie can i get my order taken?"
....
There was no answer
"Sophie!"
Instead of Sophie a woman from the back answered
"oh I'm sorry, Sophie isnt here right now."
"Huh thats unusual where is she?" asked Xavier
"She said she needed a break, must be all the trouble going on out in space"
"Did she say when she was coming back?"
".....No."
Xavier paused.
Everything was changing, Siruis didnt feel the same for some reason.
"I'd like a salad steak sandwich with a Canarian Cola thanks."
"Coming right up."
Xavier looked out the window and silently marvelled at the beauty of Gran Canaria's cultured landscapes.
"I wont let them hurt anyone else....I wont"
A call came on Xavier's portable comms.
"This is Cap. Xavier Triton."
The comms replied in a mixture of static and clear speech. A clear sign that the communication's source was quite far away.
"Capt. Triton your commission request has been processed and is ready for your review."
"How long till construction is complete" replied Xavier.
"Zoner Juggernauts usually take between 3-4 months to be completed. At current manpower and funding."
