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

[Tanker]

Amused at the Admiral's reaction to the drink, Jonathon , slightly taken aback at the Admirals frank question. Instead of answering quickly, he thinks on how he should respond. It is true the Xeno Alliance needs much more funding...so many hungry workers.. , the lack of spare parts.. Jonathon comes to a decision.

"Admiral, This does come as a bit of surprise. It is true. We are somewhat lacking where it comes to spare parts, base supplies, as well as the funding and food for the soup kitchens on Texas and Pittsburgh."

Jonathon takes a breath, more for the pause than anything else...

"However, As much as we need those things... What is it that you want Admiral?"

"What would we, the Xeno Alliance be able to bring to the table, so to speak?"

"I do have a question as well. A rather important one actually. You know where our loyalty lies," Jonathon pauses for a moment, unsure how this last part will be taken. "Admiral, I don't mean to insult ya, but where do you'alls loyalty lie?"

Jonathon takes a drink, refills his glass, takes another, and waits to hear what the Admiral will say...
