The doors slip smoothly open in Council Leader Vorik's Council Chamber. One by one, the scouts were brought in. They were not told why they were being brought in, only that Council Leader Vorik needed to speak with them.
They were all nervous, not sure what was happening. They were technically still prisoners after all.
Council Leader Vorik was standing in the back of the room, pacing. There was a scowl on his face. He was clearly upset. It made the men flinch due to their experience with Commander Grev's anger.
Without turning around, he spoke to the Kreq scouts. "Sit down; we have a problem that we need to find a way to resolve. If we don't find a way to resolve it, one or all of your families will die. We need to find a way to save them."
Gasps were heard around the room from both the scouts and their guards. It was Krem who spoke first. "May I ask what happened?" There was a slight shake to his voice. He didn't like what he had just heard.
