Joseph sat in a large leather chair in his home office. The office was of similar size and design to his Government tower office although the items on display were originals and not holographic copies. His desk was also made of real Brown Maple that he’d worked himself. His long-stemmed pipe was clenched between his teeth as he occasionally puffed, the window open and the system made sure to remove all smoke as he puffed it out. He was looking at his computer and frowning, it was the reports on what he’d missed and it was bad.

On the screen were several open systems, the screen itself could extend in any direction to put more information on display, that was without using the office holographic displays. He had the arrest record for one Abigail Tenkiller, a report on the assault on Urg’tohn and Jal’na, a surveillance report from his brother’s intelligence network, and a blurry video of the General being assaulted outside the embassy. He had to regulate the strength in his hands and unclench his jaw before he broke his pipe in three, another file was open with the guards and Joseph’s personal records on his longtime friend Urg. This was messy, xenophobia and racism within families were always messy and even though it was rare humans coming so far out were sometimes the worst part of their species. He looked at the chrono, it was late, too late to make calls. So of course he rang Urg’s personal line.

“I wondered how long it would take you to call, my friend.” Urg said as his face came into view. He smiled at Karlson, but it didn’t have the typical maniacal aspect to it. It just seemed… tired. “I take it you have heard?”

Joseph returned the smile with the same tiredness “ I will start with congratulations on your nuptials and an invitation from my wife and I for dinner at our place for you and your esteemed lady wife” he hardened his face and continued “ let’s start with the fact that I don’t mind your issue with Tenkiller, as far as I’m concerned, it is a matter between families. That being said, I have one question and one request. My request is that the guard that struck Tenkiller be sent as far away from Oed as possible. I don’t mind that he struck him what I do mind is that he did so outside where anyone could see, That type of amateur work will not be tolerated by myself and should not be tolerated by you. If the Guard takes exception to that. I will happily teach him a lesson in propriety. My question is what is your endgame? I give you plenty of leeway, more than I probably should but I do so because I like and I trust you. But there is a line, and then the years that you’ve known me you know That I do not tolerate Things that place the security of the colony at risk”
