ALEC approached Grod in the chamber as he stood talking with one of the transgate technicians and said, "Grod, you've all gotten back safely then?"
"Yes, Tiet has gone with his wife to the med-lab, but we're all fine," said Grod.
"Good. I've been in contact with the other leaders of our resistance and they would like to speak with the king about our situation. I expect them to support our efforts, but I think they want to have a face to face with the king himself before they commit to helping us."
"I'm sure it won't be a problem. I once had a face to face with the young king and he was quite persuasive when seeking a treaty between him and my people," said Grod.
"Good. If you wouldn't mind informing him, the video conference will take place in our war room in a little over two hours."
"I'm going to our ship with Wynn and the boys. I'll be sure that we get the message to Tiet," said Grod.
"Thank you. I'll see you in two hours," said Alec and they parted company.
