Ironwood and his men were heading towards the council chambers but one council member rushed towards them

It was one of the Peace Faction

Councilman: you need to stop him, he's gone stark craving mad!

Ironwood: what happened?

Councilman: when the Automatons appeared in Solitas, he started behaving strangely! He's been trying to sabotage all efforts!

The men you have wanted to help but they were all threatened with court martial and their families too!

Ironwood looked to the Defectors

Ironwood: why didn't you say anything?

AD: we couldn't sir. Not while All of us were still under their direct command.

Ironwood: I see. So the emergency order negated his orders.

AD: protocol supersedes the Council when a Military crisis is declared. And you have done so, sir.

He nods and return to listening to the Councilman

Councilman: we did whatever we could, but Jacques has taken 4 seats from us, any opposition....

Ironwood: is instantly stamped out. Super Earth was right, our system no longer works.

Take the other council members out of here before a fight starts up

He nods and contacted the rest of the Peace Faction as they vacate the building

Jacques was with the War Mongers in the chambers as the door slams open

Jacques: James. You survived.

Ironwood: surprised?

Jacques: not at the least, humans do tend to defy all calculations.

Ironwood: explain your actions.

Jacques: my actions?

Ironwood: for ordering your men against each other!

Jacques: oh that....I didn't expect you to end up working together. Unexpectedly smart for a human.

Atlasian Soldier: a human?

Ironwood: I hereby place you under arrest, Jacques...

As men approached him

Then suddenly the sleeves on his arms tears apart as Red Laser Blades came out and killed the soldiers that got close

Jacques: you dare oppose the Automatons!

The other council men were shocked to see Jacques fight

Ironwood shot him in the face instantly as he recoils he looks back at them with half of his face torn off revealing a metallic skull and red glowing eyes
