rose as I paused for effect. I slammed my fist down on the podium for a second time, "I am Don Grange! I am a warrior for my people as was my father before me! I have fought beside men who have died with the belief that these Torrians who plague us should be annihilated!" The chamber again came to life. But the councilmen were no longer leering, I had their full attention.
    "I would be honored to stand and fight beside each one of you against our common foe!" I reached out and grabbed the assistant standing next to me and locked arms. "Why do we squabble amongst ourselves here today when the enemy still controls our lives. We must join together and force an end to this war. We must stand together and crush the spines of the greedy and hateful Torrians. It’s time we stood and reclaimed the properties and freedoms that are rightfully ours!"
    For several seconds the chamber remained silent. I pushed the assistant away, banged my fist hard on the podium three times and then thrust it into the air, standing as in defiance of the Torrians. The council again remained silent for several seconds before a group of Dakar on the right hand side all stood at once and raised their fists.
    It was a spark that ignited a flame. Other members of the council then began to rise with their fists in the air. When the number of fists passed two thirds of the chamber I began to pump my arm up and down as I yelled into the microphone, "War! War! War!" In seconds the council was united, their fists pumping into the air as they too chanted "War!"
    The Dakar were a species that responded to strength and boldness. I wondered if with a fiery enough speech could I convince them to throw each other from the chamber rail. It was a strange culture, but it was one that the nation of Defiant was now allied with. I turned to the assistant and smacked him on the shoulder, "Let’s go have lunch!" He stepped back and gave me a strange look.
    The council meeting was soon adjourned and I was escorted into a nearby conference room where eight members of the council were seated. "Mr. Grange, welcome. My name is Fewish Minter. I am the current Patta of the Council of the Wise. Please be seated. We wish to discuss our cooperation with you and your people. Before we join in any type of alliance we thought it might be prudent to limit our entanglement to a single operation."
    "We wish to recapture the Posad world of Mortel. The Emerald mines are of a particular value to the Dakari Expansion and we wish to regain control of them." I wondered if liberating the Posad would mean that they were trading one task master for another. Mortel belonged to the Posad and not the Dakari Expansion, but I was not in a position to argue, the Dakar would be an improvement over the Torrians.
    "Mr. Minter. Defiant would be willing to commit our troops to the ground if your ships can command the space surrounding Mortel. The garrison of troops, as we have seen on other mining colonies, is generally limited to several thousand troops. We will liberate the miners and then leave the planet for your people to come in and assist the Posad in their recovery."
    "While our ships are capable of taking control of the Mortel system, I believe it would be a show of our trust to take on the dirty part of an assault that would include hand to hand combat. If these terms are agreeable, plans will be put in place. I would add that at this time we do not wish any transfer of our technologies until such time as a level of trust has developed that warrants such cooperation.
    I am sure the Dakar people have many secrets and many technological advances that we do not. I would also believe that you think the same of us. I would recommend that you re-evaluate your relationship with the Durians. I believe they are playing both sides of this war for profit. We caught them involved in a large trade of Tantric ore with the Milgari. That ore was confiscated and is one reason that the Milgari have pulled back. They are
