DDS Commander Firefly and Emperor Oojok have met again, this time at a secret location on Terra (rumoured to be Wolverhampton). The fact Oojok was willing to hold the follow-up summit on DDS territory was seen as a sign that Oojok is moving towards an alliance with the DDS instead of accepting Utrek coin. Details from Oojok's meeting with Benito last week (thought to have been on Paragon) have not been released though it is rumoured that Benito's misgivings have been largely placated.
One rumour coming out of the summit is that Firefly has offered the Clones TPM-1 technology and would grant a licence for the Clones to build their own factories producing the weapon. Although this would be a big shift in export policy it has been thought the Clones have managed to get a TPM-1 round via an unofficial source earlier this year anyway (perhaps a Dino built missile via the Aritans) and have been working on reverse engineering it. As the TPM-1 is now much more widely available it is thought a matter of time until the Clones get the missile anyway, some DDS senior staff think the time is right to sell the technology to the Clones.
