Barenson, March, 3053 Captain General Thomas Marik is the one of the Inner Sphere leaders who has refused to meet with Precentor Martial Focht as Focht attempted to use his personal prestige to convince the Successor Houses that ComStar's split did not affect them. Low-ranking Marik diplomats held inconclusive meetings with the Precentor Martial while Thomas Marik visited Precentor Demona Aziz of the Word of Blake faction to conclude an agreement wherein the Word of Blake services the HPG facilities in the Free Worlds League. No time limit was mentioned for the agreement. The most that the Precentor Martial could win was a one-year service contract, with a provision guaranteeing withdrawal of his faction's personnel after the conclusion of that year.
