HALF BREED

Marco locked gazes with the other individual, determined not to yield. Page finally broke the heavy silence, stating, "We both know John is guilty, and he definitely deserves punishment. A two-year stint on Gaphas would suit him. But punishing the entire Legion for one man's actions? That only invites more negative attention." As Marco prepared to respond, the general gestured for thought, simply saying, "Consider it, that's all I ask. Until court," before dismissing him. Marco got up, acknowledging with a "Yes, sir," and headed towards the exit. Page couldn't help but wince at the sight of the silvery gray fur trailing down the other man's neck – a Half Breed. He felt a wave of unease, wondering what other unconventional elements were lurking. The door closed, leaving Marco behind.
