The Friar is understood to have fled to a secret HCS bunker in Micom (which bloggers revealed as being south of the capital Beyond Micom within hours). It is thought he chose the bunker as it has an anti-teleport field and also is adjacent to an army base where a Red Lizard batallion has been stationed as well as his personal guard.
The Friar has repeated his offer to give the "real XE" to the DDS but this has angered many Clones who have called The Friar a traitor. Thousands of Clones marched in the capital Ailier City and demanded Captain Clone hand over The Friar to the DDS instead!
