»Location: The Senate, Omicron Rho
»Subject: The Sigma-15 conflict
Two very different views, Jack's very forward approach is likely to result in conflict with Rheinland, but Christian's approach would have us bend over and ask nicely. To be frank it appears you've missed the point, "Keep in mind that the security and privacy of Omicron Rho are paramount and non-negotiable." With the Omicron Rho jump hole in Sigma-15 the only way I would be willing to not have a fortified position the other side would be if we permanently disabled the jump hole cutting off the Core and Rheinland from each other's supplies.
Jack alternative, starving the crew on Ennibeck and throwing our lot in with Kusari certainly would cost us initially but who's to say what we might gain in the spoils of war after? It really is a shame that Rheinland Government doesn't see fit to entrust us, an ally of years with half an empty system simply as a matter of security. The shame would be double is such long-term partnerships where to be thrown away in the mists of combat and raiding in sigma-21.
I'm happy with neither of these solutions and will reach out to the Rheinlanders in order to attempt to reach some middle ground between your proposals. Before I end this meeting, is there anything either of you would like to add?
