The Councillors glared at the Terran for a few moments "Orbital bombardment? You are an honourless, mongrel pup. We'll occupy your worthless, leashhead rocks, take your inane weapon and feed it to the reckless fools who created it. You have not considered what you have made have you?" There was a brief pause as Mercy took over, shaking his head slowly and clasping his hands in front of him 
"And even if we didn't think it would cause a horrific fall out, we would still defy you for you defy them their right to trial by combat, and in turn you defy honour. Their honour and your own." The hologram Mercy declared, letting out a low and solemn growl and Respect quickly cut in to mediate, speaking for the first time. His voice was noticably more strained and his movements slightly slower; For Respect wasn't just old, he was the oldest living Lorca; A natural life of nearly 500 years

"If the Terrans did not feel that this was a necessary course of action then we would not be discussing it I am sure. However, as my brothers rightly note, this course of action stands against A Kha O A Lor. You are denying them a trial by combat and you ask us to condone it. The political, social and religious ramifications would echo for years. I am certain the Terrans meant no offence, they do not see our way." Respect noted, gliding slowly forwards over to the table and with his hand, the hologram had become solid by some alien technology, and swiped away the humans images as if demonstrating his disdainful opinion of their plan. Mercy took over from him
"There will be no orbital bombardment. We will give them a trial by combat; If you are too coward to carry out the sentence yourself, go hide in your third rock." He let out a low snarl and then turned his head towards Valag, clasping his hands in front of him peacefully again "Valag, I assure you the shields will be dealt with; The Ghaj has dealt with foes who hide behind such items before; This alliance can pop their bubble and continue our march to glorious salvation!"
