“Mr. Wayne, there is a Captain Nathaniel on line one and a message from Io '' said Kara, Maximillan Wayne’s secretary.

“Thank you Kara, I’ll take the messages in my office.” Maximilian replied. Kara opened his office door and left him be. Maximilian reached into his pocket and grabbed the small ornate cylindrical disc that was his holocommunicator.

“Hello Captain, how are you doing? How goes building diplomatic relations for the remnants of the Imperial Intelligence Bureau?” Maximilian began.

“I’m doing well, and on the diplomatic subject it's a slow and painful process after the tragedy in the Triskelion system” replied Captain Nathaniel.

“Have you heard of what is happening in the Sol system right now? It's a political nightmare bordering on a full scale galactic crisis” said Captain Nathaniel.

“Well I guess that's the message from Mr. Stewart. I was honestly confused as to why he would be kidnapped by a high-ranking general from the Martian Orbital Defence Command, but now it makes sense.” replied Maximilian with a mixture of intrigue and worry.

“Do you know anymore about the current situation within the Sol system?” Maximilian asked imploringly.

“I’m afraid that was all I have, old friend is there anyway I could help you fix the situation because I know you will try?” asked the Captain.

“All I might need is your assistance in a possible counter-strike scenario against whomever caused this” replied Maximilian.

“Understood, I will be awaiting an invitation to the battlefield” replied Nathaniel. Maximilian turned off his holocommunicator, returned it into his tailcoat pocket and left his office. Maximilian put on his sunglasses and taped the side triggering his A.I. voice assistant named Allie.

“Allie set up the Sol system Nexus Telecom. Satellites to scan all transmissions and give me a rundown of the situation I’m about to walk into.” Maximilian said quietly. “Yes sir. Shall I prep your stealth ship so that you can fly undetected?” hummed the female robotic voice.

“Yes please, I don't want the Martians getting any ideas.” replied Maximilian as he boarded his stealth ship the Destiny’s Reaver.
