Xeno Alliance Leadership and Hellfire Legion Leadership "talks". (AO)

He looked up at the sound of raised voices outside the door. One he recognised as the Zoner provided security guard that had introduced himself a half hour earlier, the other he didn't recognise. He moved to the entrance to better hear. Pressing his ear to the door, he caught the tail end of the disagreement......

"PAH! I'm going to get the Boss here!"

Footsteps stomped away from the door, and Richard eased it open. He caught a flash of blue hair as a woman entered the lift at the end of the corridor.

"Trouble, Dave?" he asked, looking at the slightly bemused expression on the guards face.

"Ummm, no, I don't think so, sir. That was one of the Xenos you'll be meeting." A slight twitching of his lips betrayed his amusement. "I hope for your sake her boss is less .............. umm ............. yes, just less."

Richard closed the door. He'd negotiated before, but only ever with military personnel. This was definately going to be interesting. One thought raised itself to the forefront of his mind.

Blue hair?
