Ob: How did you know they were Haxians?
Ib: Well the Chameleon suit disguised them but not their footfalls, six vibrations then another set.
Ob: He said he is The Mercenary, like it meant something.
Ib: Unfortunately yes, they live very long lives Haxians that is. I only know one person whoever described a Haxian Mercenary prefixed with "The". IGal used him quite a bit.
Ob: But I thought you said she had gone into hibernation because you had a falling out.
Ib: Barely besides she had more of a disagreement with the rest of her race than me although it was related to the IOP. She never believed me mostly because she had one of the artifacts.
Ob: What you never said!
Ib: Go roll your orbs somewhere else I had lost a friend. She said that the artifact proved my theory was incorrect.
Ob: Your theory well let us call it what it really is a hypothesis not a theory. You have no evidence.
Ib: IOP is quite sound, what evidence do you have of the artifact theory exactly?
Ob: Well it is well known that the artifacts are meant to show meaning in the universe.
Ib: Really known by who exactly and in all this time only one has ever been found and its authenticity is definitely in question.
Ob: When you said she had a disagreement with her race what did you mean exactly?
Ib: Trying to tempt me with a different tangent I see, well if you must know she is the matriarch of her species and they must do everything she commands.
Ob: Did they rebel then?
Ib: They thought she was diverting too many resources into finding the artifacts and even when she found one which is debatable they were still unhappy. She entered hibernation early and her race had to go dormant until she awoke. Of course they blamed me since I was only biped on the planet at the time.
Ob: I surprised you got off the planet alive.
Ib: Yes well her escape pod proved very useful indeed, heavily shield too.
Ob: Did not Grey World recover it from you upon landing?
Ib: Yes well Grey World seemed to blame me for IGal's hibernation too which is why they took the escape pod from me. Said I caused a major diplomatic incident.
Ob: Well technically a full third of the x9-18 sector went dark because IGal's race went dormant.
Ib: Yes but it was not like the whole sector was dark, the rest picked up the work in no time.
Ob: I am not sure two hundred and thirty four cycles counts as "no time".
Ib: Fine! Have you looked at the artifact yet?
Ob: Well I would rather not look at it since it is very ugly.
Ib: But it is a really bad image of us, Greys that is.
Ob: I find it quite vulgar to look at let alone handle it.
Ib: I am sure the statue is merely a facade. It is what is inside that interests me.
Ob: Err, your not going to stick to protocol then?
Ib: Do you really want to explain to the Colony Commission about your attempt to seed a new planet?
Ob: Perhaps you are right but what about the Haxian mercenaries?
Ib: You did get the ship shielded right?
