Matt and Alexis sat in a large conference room by themselves. Alexandria had been taken to the medical ward to be treated, while Martha had stealthily snuck away. Although Matt had a suspicion that Scorch knew about her existence, but decided to keep it hidden to protect the crew that weren't in-the-know. Everything he had learned was relayed to Alexis and the two of them were sitting in silence pondering the implications.
Soon enough, Scorch walked in with two people that Matt had never met before. However, he did recognize them as being two of the ten council members. Scorch was still wearing his military uniform with commander insignias on the shoulders. The three walked over and sat opposite from the duo. The table was meant to seat thirty-two people so it was a large distance between them. The five sat in silence for a moment before Scorch began speaking up.
