Council Leader Vorik sat at the long council table in the ship's council room. The view of space was clearly seen through the window. He waited for the others to arrive. They needed to make a plan to find a new home. Now that they were not controlled by the serum, they wouldn't invade.
The council room door slid smoothly open, and Fleet Commander Lerian, Guard Commander Drevick, Niki, Trei, Aleigha, Jada, Orik, Medic Renn, Mikiel, and Verion entered the council room. It was all those Council Leader Vorik had called to the meeting.
Verion looked around the room. He didn't know why he was there. He was never part of the governing circle. Staying quiet, he waited for whatever instructions Council Leader Vorik had for him.
Council Leader Vorik gestured for everyone to have a seat. He was looking at the small screen embedded in the panel on the table. He didn't speak until everyone sat down.
