Megaera spoke to the Anti-Bretonian front.

"Let us not take anyone hostage. We are all here as guests to Doctor Holliday. Normally I would enjoy how this thing is escalating, but today I came here to support a friend and I will enforce his house rules if necessary. Secondly, your plan is that of coward aswell. There is nothing more cowardly than to take unarmed people as your hostage. I have no idea who you guys even are, but if you say more stupid stuff like that, I will drag you out that door myself."

She pointed to the entrance.

The Ai-Robot didn't say a word at all the discussions. But it seemed that it heres every word.

"To understand this situation. Omega 49 is an independent System that not belongs to any House-Space. When one of our Harvesters is going to any House-Space we have luck, if we wheren't shooted and just would be requested to leave.
This is simple: If a Zoner-Battleship would enter the Brenonia House-Space, it would break the Bretonian Charter of Interstellar Law, 4.7 - Foreign Warships.
So if it is the Law of Bretonia that a Capship that not belongs to the United Kingdom of Bretonia would cost at least 5.000.000 Credits fine, the United Kingdom of Bretonia hast to pay this to the Zoners. And maybe the Corsair, or who else have a base here. Than the Ship has to leave, if the Faction with a base her would request it.
Everything else is a warlike act!

So, who of the Factions with a base here in Omega 49 request teh Bretonia Battleship to leave this system? And is there a Faction with a Base here who would like that it stays here?"

The robot looked arround at it's last words.

Voncloud Glares at Duma at the suggestions he made and would love to just storm over and punch him in his idiot face. But he wasnt the first to jump onto him and likely not the last.

"What the hell kind of idea is that coming from a So called Zoner! Taking people hostage?! You have NO IDEA what is needed for the saftey of this system nor the planet. Its people like YOU who give Zoners a bad name, your up there with The Zoner Alliance, The Zoner Militia . All of you just as bad as each other, do nothing but cause proper Zoners nothing but trouble! Your and whatever crackpot followers you managed to fool with this Idiot movement are a disgrace to the Zoner way. From this point forward id recommend you watch VERY CAREFULLY what you say considering who you state you represent, because if you carry on with talk like that your going to do nothing but risk the planet. And i wont let that happen, so if you don't want to find out exactly the sort of things i do to protect my people and this Planet, either remember who you represent, or shut up.

Voncloud takes a deep breath, it could be said he had steam rising from him. he looks to those present.

"Now, Megaera is right, we are all guests here, and we are here to talk, let us not get wound up with rivalries between people, as that doesn't help the situation, if you want to play who has the biggest package, take it elsewhere.

He then looks to Nathan
"Your right, it could be inevitable, however i doubt the Corsairs are ones to share territory *he looks to the Corsair representative* If Gallia does roll into Omega 49, they risk their new found friendship with the Corsairs if they were to attack the Planet. Also the Gauls likely wont wish to provoke more people to Bretonias side, Zoners, Core the Coalition in this regard. There arn't as many tactical benefits to be had from entering Omega 49 for the Gallic fleets. They will want to keep the Corsairs that have allied with them on side.
I would however like to hear from the Corsair representative to see if they can shed any light on why they have sided with Gallia"

Ivan looked at Nathan as he was talking and he busted into laughter.

Touche, Nathan. Said Ivan as his laughter got even more hysterical.

A move well placed. Said Ivan as he came back to his normal self.

But not a check mate, because for a failing ideology, never in our history since our arrival have we stood stronger than now.

Even as this summit drags on, people from all over Sirius flock willingly to New Moscow to join our revolutionary cause, do people flock towards the Core in the same willing fashion? Do you buy them or force them? Because I have sat with the locals at Freeport eleven and I heard the things they have to say about you.

They call you tyrants, occupiers, they view you as nothing more than an oppressive regime that installed itself upon them when the Order was at it's weakest point.

At least they knew what the Order is doing out there, you on the other hand are shooting at the people who devoted their lives to keeping the dangers of the Omicrons confined to the Omicrons, so let me ask you this: Where is YOUR "humanity"?

As for the history lesson regarding your influence in Omega 49, that's just that, history.

I dare to look you in the eyes and claim that the Core doesn't even have a spatial installation anywhere near Omega 49. I dare you to prove me wrong.

CAN you?

Doc noticed things heating up. He understood the anger between groups but the main focus of why they were all there was going by the wayside. Again, he began making his way through the delegates.
"Gentlemen, please," he said kindly and addressed Ivan and Nathan. "I do not mean to downplay the events in the Omicrons and Omegas but we gathered here to address another issue. If you wish, we can discuss that after this."
He then stood in front of Megaera, "No one and I do mean no one will be taking hostages or dragging people out the door."

He then stood in an open area. "Mr. VonCloud is right. To just demand the Corsairs leave would create more conflict that none of us wants. As it is, a lot of the Corsairs now residing on Canaria are largely women and children, children who were born on the planet. Canaria has been peaceful that is, until an old warship parked not far from the planet and its intentions revealed."
He then walked over towards the Bretonian delegation. "Point blank, Mr. Steiner, this is Zoner space. Even those who are not Zoner on the surface live by our law and leave theirs behind. Bretonian law has no place here nor will it..." He paused as he stepped forward towards Mr. Davis, "......or are your plans more sinister? Bretonia lost territory to Kusari but made peace with them...or do you still hold a grudge against them? I hope not." He takes a look at his daughter before returning to Mr. Davis, "She is more Kusarian than she is me, her late mother, my late wife, was from Honshu. In fact, it was the Bretonian navy that killed her uncle, Kentaro, in Tau 31 and yet my daughter forgives. You could learn much from her." There was a tear in Emiko's eye as her father spoke of the events and loss of her mother.

"Mr. Davis, I know....we all know....how badly the war with Gallia is going for you so listen to me. Rather than leave your own home world and take one from people who are no bother to you, you might do having your queen swallow her foolish pride and sue Gallia for peace. I mean, has Bretonia been at war long enough? The more you fight, the weaker you make yourselves. I would even go as far to offer myself as a diplomat for the process. I know this, you take this system, Gallia will not be far behind. You could not stop them in Bretonia. I highly doubt that you would do it here and they would be closer to borders of other people."

He took a couple of steps away before turning back, "So consider my offer of diplomacy but know this as well, while I am a man of peace, a man who has walked both sides of the law and killed his share of men in his life, I will not hesitate to burn these robes and take up arms if there is a hostile take-over of this planet."

In the corner where Emiko stood listening, she began shaking her head as the tears fell while listening to her father. Softly from her mouth she could only say, "Daddy, no."

When Doc stopped talking Megaera turned her attention to Nathan Archos and threw a grape at him to get his attention

"Hey Core grunt, Calm your ego a little. This is not about you and your band of pirates. Do not take away the speaking time from people that matter. Sit down and grab yourself a drink."
