The situation in the Guild Council heated up, but neither side moved beyond their words. Those opposed to the discussion proposed by one of Navey's supporters stood up and left with Segiel, leaving only five Elders at Navey's side.
The alien narrowed his eyes in the direction of the meeting room's exit, while those he influenced looked at him, waiting for his position.
"What do we do, Elder? Without the support of all the Elders, it will be difficult to justify anything to the Supreme Leader or even to Minos later. We won't be able to block Kendrick's paths peacefully," said the one who had most voiced the council's concern about the growth in power of Minos and his faction.
"Surround the Stuart Family. They'll be under house arrest until further notice." Navey said, one-sided, deciding to do so.
As the strongest Elder in place and without the Supreme Leader to command, he was naturally the one with the most power and influence in the guild at the moment.
