Nov listened to Two-Four's knowledge of the early stages for Earth to be re-colonized. Most of the details the bartender laid down matched up to what Nov had personally known about and then some. Apparently the spiel of the planet encountering several cataclysmic events was something he himself wasn't too knowledgeable about, especially the part about machines owning the world at one point. However Two-Four's laughter on the notion gave way to Nov's doubts on that particular event's legitimacy - or maybe that was just the "iron fist" play that was amusing.

[color=00a99d][b]"First time I'm hearing about it - they must not have ruled the planet for very long."[/b][/color] Nov replied, his ambiguous focus still set on the Huxen arrivals.

A miniature debate had apparently erupted between what appeared to be the Huxen ringleader and the armored alien from before. Though the knight-ish being seemed to speak in open-minded observations of the feral and Hyena-looking creature where as the Huxen boasted upon his species origins with knives in grasp in declarative defense from the word "animal" that the knight - really need to get that guy's name - had used to describe them. The Huxen's argument didn't seem to sway the alien's opinion nor was it appreciated by Two-Four or Ted whom Nov had guessed had their hands on a gun of some sort the moment the Hyena-thing armed himself.

Thankfully, the Huxen knew his place and backed down before taking up the armored alien's offer into a more private conversation elsewhere. In the end, it was a win-win for Nov however; a fight didn't break out and he didn't have to arrest anyone while off shift. It felt great when [i]things[/i] worked themselves out to one's benefit.
