Breen Territory

[Capt Muon Quark 0]

Thot Mintur is walking briskly down the hall of the research facility where he is the Commanding Officer. This particular morning he is heading to his office to begin the day's work. Nothing is out of the ordinary, everything appears to be the same. He is reviewing, in his mind, the appointments he has today and he is not looking forward to them.

"Mintur here, what is it?" he barks into the device.
