Bam!
The old Commander downed another bottle of enhanced beer as he slammed it against the table with force before laughing loudly.
"Aha…, that touched the brain, these brewers are good!"
He slapped his head. "So, Legolas, what do you say you'd be doing again?"
"Living life independent in the Minerva Star System is not always an endeavor that pays boy. If I'd advise you, join a major power instead of going solo".
"Of course, you can decide not to listen to the ramblings of an old man like me". He slapped his slightly bloating belly as the others laughed.
"But if you changed your mind though, know that I can help you".
"I heard that you have an army, if you like, your army can easily join ours as guardians of the ring belt, it's the best way to enjoy life as a galactic citizen".
Legolas smiled at the Army Commander. "I really appreciate your generous offer but I'm afraid I'll have to reject, I still intend on going independent".
