"More losses?"
Once again in some nondescript room of one of the main buildings of the Solar System Federation, a group of four familiar people was gathered together. This secret meeting was both the same and different from the last time. But the subject of the meeting was the same - The Earth.
They were once again seated in their conventional pattern, with a pudgy-looking man sitting at the foremost position from the left corner, next to him a hunched little old man was visible. The red-robed man was sitting slightly away from them with his arms crossed and in the last of the arc was the fourth man. He was the most nondescript and dull looking of all of them.
