General Dosh sat and listened for the most part, However he and the Marines around him tensed when the Broodmother spoke but otherwise just listened and absorbed the information. When the Crews of several ships mentioned earth each member of the Terran forces looked at each other and sealed their visors, including the general. The discussed among themselves, little clicks of radios keying and very quiet murmurs transferred through the face plates. A couple of the Marines were getting animated and pointing at the Sangheili, the Crew of the Daedalus and the Glasgow. 

The general finally opened his visor, signaled by another noxious cloud of cigar smog, [color=lightcoral]"Can we all just slow down a moment..."[/color] he said sternly seizing control of the room as he stood making a powerful presence in his bulky power armor. [color=lightcoral]"I'm not as young as i used to be and this conversation is moving a little fast for me. I really only have  three concerns right now, The security and survival of the ship and my men, Getting back to the Koprulu Sector, and Defending the Terran Dominion... Now, we seem to be in some other universe where there is no Dominion and this galactic empire seems to largely be not our problem. Why do we care about this Empire and what its doing to whom?"[/color] he pauses for a moment [color=lightcoral]"Oh, and one other thing."[/color] looking up at the Broodmother [color=lightcoral]"You all obviously do not know what a Zerg is... This thing! has killed billions of Terrans, swarmed and consumed dozens of worlds and who knows how many Protoss lives have been crushed beneath the swarm. I have spent my entire life fighting the Zerg trying to stop their ceaseless devouring."[/color] he punched the table with frustration leaving a dent 2-3 times the size of a human fist. [color=lightcoral]"This thing is a threat to all life"[/color] he said in obvious disgust [color=lightcoral]"Other than that, fine, we need to know about this place but why do we care about what this empire does? I mean sure, they might want our technology but we can just move on whenever they try to catch up to us. We have the advantage of a ship who knows their capability and the Empire does not so... why would we get involved.. Sounds like the perfect way to get ourselves, our ships, and our men killed"[/color] He said hotly, sitting back down and leaning back clearly in a 'prove me wrong' way.
