Chapter 124

While Syn and Anya commed the fem with the first two, the Elder Council grappled with the third. They didn’t want to draw attention to themselves; so they met at Castle Air.

PsyOps made an early rising raid and found Castle Fire as empty as Zaron and Bron suspected. There were no mourning flags, no fresh urns in the burial plot, it looked like TeZuff and TeAngle left the planet.

“We have to be grateful that TeZuff’s injury made it impossible for that WarriorPair to impregnate a fem or there would be a raid on Earth which would sideline any delicate negotiations we wish to undertake,” TeAwer said as he banged his fist on the table.

TeAwer and TeZen found their bonded, TaAdele last moonrise and were irritated that they were disturbed for the meeting. “This could be a major setback in our rebuilding program if TeAngle has an accomplice in the Federation.” TeZen got out of the overstuffed chair and paced the room.
