"Thank you all for being here today," Bishop said to the Utrom council as he joined them at the head base in Dimension X. The large conference room was bright with soft blue lighting. The council sat around the oval table, their reflections in the glossy tabletop staring at Bishop.
"I know this meeting is very sudden - how I should be requesting a meeting months in advance, not a week. However, I have some urgent news we must discuss."
"Of course, Bishop," the Urtom queen answers. "What news must you discuss with us?"
"It has recently come to my attention that the mutants on the planet Earth are ignoring our rules and guidelines for their kind. Especially the Salamandrian female, Lieutenant Y'gythgba."
The Utrom council shifted their gaze to each other, confused. Unsure where Bishop was going with his statement.
"Bishop," Queen says, "What do you mean?"
"I have already created a list of new rules for mutants to follow and I would like your approval so I may act on them immediately," he explains as he places a mountain of papers onto the table. "And as for the rogue Salamandrian," he continues, "I suggest that it is best we remove Y'gythgba from planet Earth."
The Utrom council are surprised by Bishop's claim. Whispers and quick comments of what he said begin being told through Pawn and Rook.
"But, Bishop," Queen says, trying to keep everyone calm in her soothing tone of voice. "Lieutenant Y'gythgba has done nothing wrong. I see no point in removing her from the planet Earth."
"Nothing wrong?! Your majesty, she is violating my- our rules. According to the laws we formed with the EPF, 'Non earthlings are not permitted on Earth unless they have a purpose for the planet'. Y'gythgba agreed to this law when she first came to Earth. Yet, she continues to stay even though she is not an Earthling. She is breaking the rules as we speak. Therefore, by the laws of the council and the EPF, she is considered a criminal!"
"Monsieur Bishop does make a point," Pawn says in a baffled tone.
The Queen signs, "But Bishop-"
"Not to mention the Mighty Mutanimals who are harboring her in their lair, as well as Raphael and the rest of the turtles assisting her," Bishop adds. "Perhaps Raphael is putting a bad influence on Y'gythgba. You all know how that stubborn turtle can be."
Rook's eyes widen as she looks at Bishop confused by his reason, "A bad influence?" she repeated to herself.
Bishop keeps going, "We worked too hard to win back our home of Dimension X. We lost it before because we were too weak and didn't put up a fight. Enforcing these new laws, putting these mutants in their place, and removing Y'gythgba will set an example."
"Well, what do you propose we do?" the Queen asked.
"Since Y'Gythgba refuses to listen to words and adhere to our rules, then perhaps a being like her will respond with brute force and action."
"Bishop," Rook says, "you're not suggesting-"
"A full out force on all mutant kind? Yes."
"What?!" Rook asked in shock.
"Sacré bleu!" Pawn cries.
"Your majesty!" Rook says with worry. "We can't let Bishop do this."
The Utrom Queen was silent for a long moment, thinking over her decision. She then takes a deep breath and speaks.
"Perhaps Bishop is right..." Queen says softly, "Maybe it's best we follow through with these new laws from Bishop."
"But your majesty!" Rook cries as she gets up from her chair, "Bishop is just-"
