The growling voice of Lizaconda snapped against Mortikran: “Please, our weapon must be kept secret longer! If we use it at this time retaliation will be swift and brutal and we will lose our possession over the weapon” the lizardian hissed in fury. Motikran snorted, he grew impatient with the Lizardian commander. “Still, the Rambo senate is occupied, now is a good time to strike and re-open hostilities against them!”. Lizaconda narrowed his eyes and looked at the disgraced Mortalitas commander. “I do not believe it is in the best interest of the to start hostilities once more, I want to use this weapon as a leverage to cement peace and commerce with them.” Mortikran was perplex and froze at the words of the Lizardian, he growled in anger and left the unimpressed Lizardian commander behind.

The large holographic guise of Zillum sat before him, his arms outstretched in the lofty throne of his flagship, the Benevolent. The Supreme Commander's crimson eyes made Mortikran appear most uneasy, seemingly staring directly into his soul. Zillum's voice was deep and as cold as space.

”Speak, Mortikran. Do not waste my time.” Mortirkan nodded and gulped, the fury of the greatest of Mortalitas kin was well known, even his queen was still missing. Rising to his feet he tried to speak with all his dignity; "My lord, the Lizardians seem to be turning down our offer of glory, they rufuse to use Galvarus and rather seek peace." Zillum growled, quickly standing to his full height overlooking Mortikran. ”Are you incapable of... properly motivating them?” ”N-no my Lord. But the Lizardian outnumber myself and the forces you provided. It is the Lizardian Commander, Lizaconda himself that refuses aid our cause!”. Mortikran awaited the reply of his commander, but he knew it would probably result in the use of force, deadly force he hoped.

Zillum folded his arms over his chest. ”Perhaps I will succeed where you have not. I will set course to Galvarus immediately. Tell our old friends to prepare for my arrival... and that I am in no mood for obstinance.” Mortikran bowed again and closed the transmission. Sighting he decided to meet with Lizaconda again who looked anything but happy.”Sorry to disturb you Lizardian Commander Lizaconda, guess who is coming for diner?” The facial expression of Lizaconda turned from anger into disbelieve, growling again he slammed his fist in a nearby console, swearing he promised Mortikran would pay for this.
