This was the first time that humans on Mars made some progress towards an alliance. This was mostly thanks to the restored communication system which reconnected the fragmented factions.
Five days later, Marcos from Thunder Fire, Pamir from Pamir's Eagle, and Bu Zhihuo from Flame Squad had gathered with Aamir and Guan Dongyang at Battle Wolf's camp for the meeting.
Most of the attendees came because they respected Aamir, but not everyone had confidence in achieving anything during the meeting.
Pamir started off as a Mercenary, and he still was to some degree. He cared less about becoming the alliance leader than the benefits—in terms of blues— of joining the alliance. Bu Zhihuo was completely opposite of the indifferent Mercenary; he and his warriors were a patriotic lot who could even pass for being xenophobic sometimes. Their obsession with purity had made him a bad choice as a candidate for the leader. Therefore, the competition had come down to Aamir and Marcos.
