I asked for evidence but I will have to take your word for it.
So, delegate Silvan I suppose there is no way that we can come to any decision besides the one you have taken already?
I'm still not convinced that CoZ was presented the case and evidence and proper voting procedure took place.
Also, we still haven't hear a word from capt. Saronsen who, according to your claims as well, shot first at these rebels before talking to them.
So I need to hear answers to these questions:
Where is out interest in gaining one more enemy?
What will guarantee safety of our ships if we decide to turn this group into our enemies?
How can we persuade or force them to do what we want them to do?
If they turn against us who will fight them, since most of the Zoner factions already left CoZ?
Will we deal the same way with all Apoc wing members or just ones involved in this incident (since there were cases before when we would deal with just certain members of some faction, so that whole groups do not suffer because of the few)?
How does such notion fit into Zoner policy of not attacking those who have not directly wronged against us?
How does this fit into Zoner pacifist ways in general?
Looking forward to your answers
Al Noori

-Saronsen appears on screen, obviously bored as he leans on his right hand on his console..-
The Commander of the Now, a Mako Battleship, appeared in scanner range whilst I was keeping watch over Freeport 11. I asked him, kindly mind you, to keep his distance, since he never asked for permission to approach or dock with, you know, his Battleship? He blatantly ignored me, and continued his approach. By five klicks I had asked again more sternly for him to stop nearing the Freeport. He responded with "I'm doing missions, OK?", which is fine and dandy, except his ally in a Gunship that was already docked with the Freeport could accept these 'missions' for him and the Mako. At two and a half klicks, I blasted his shields with a Mortar, leaving them weakened. He still continued silently to force his ship against the mooring points of the Freeport, so I couldn't do anything about it. He remained silent for a while, until after his ship had unhooked from the Freeport, where he began taunting and insulting me.
You all know very well the rest after that.

Chairperson, fellow delegates,
I understand that right now our current focus is the renegage bounty hunters that call themselves the Apocalpyse Wing. Since there is a large amount of confusion and allegations being thrown around I would prefer to see some document written up over how the Apocalypse will be handled from here on out. Thier docking rights and weapon usage rights would be two things I hope to see in such a document. I would also very much like to make sure that from this point forward they are 100% aware of our laws, as they do seem to be ignorant of some of them, and they could careless about others. Either way, they need to know them and will abide by them. I know our equipment merchants dont' want to lose the business of this group so I ask that we all put our feelings aside and approach this like Zoners.
I would also like to make it clear to the entire Council that the proposed Security Council does not exist. Ms Silvan herself has already noted this.
Captain Saronsen, please refrain from refering to yourself as the Secretary of Defense of said council.

*Scratches head*
You want a policy for dealing with Apocalypse wing written up? Okay.
How about we fill their ships with plasma until they break apart into chunks? Then we sell the large chunks to the Junkers and scatter the remaining bits to the far corners of Sirius?
Seriously? They attacked Zoner Guards at a Freeport. I don't care what their reasons are. You all should be up in arms over this and all I see is the same limp noodlery that got us into this mess with Bretonia and Liberty a couple weeks ago, and the QCP before that.

I aint used this channel yet but there's a first time fer everythin.
I'm not a Council member, nor a bigshot well known Zoner. Just a captain of a ship and a proud one at that.
I were born free out here in the edge worlds. I witnessed the tyranny that most of the Houses are subject to and even though everyone yaps about us Zoners wantin no laws, we do want some order. Hence the laws we got.
These Apocalypse folks broke those laws and we all just sit around doin nothin? I'm with Trogdor on this one. We bloody show em why the Corsairs and the Outcasts don't try anythin on with us. We show em the might of our warships and the strength of our spirit.
No matter how the Zoners in question acted, they did it within our laws. These idiots who stole a few battleships broke the laws. They cause trouble everywhere they go. They are dependent on us for supplies.
Why is there any debate as to what the course of action is?
We have all the cards in our hands and yet we be talking about it all?
Deal with the laws the Apocalypse folks have broken and the fact they are now going to hunt down some well known Zoners.
Leave the actions of the Zoners in question for later talkin.
Right now we need action and if you folks don't do anythin, I bloody will.

If you refer to my statements concerning the Apocalypse's use of our equipment and bases, then yes, that would be policy at this point, especially considering their latest actions. If anyone does object to the Apocalypse ships losing their permission to use Zoner bases, please say so in this channel. If anyone does object, we will take a vote on the matter.
I'll give two days to receive any response on that matter.
Any issues of hostility towards Apocalypse will require either a vote, which requires two motions to start, or Apocalypse initiating the hostilities.
Also, I'm opening the floor to anyone who has any outstanding issues that they wish to bring up to the Council, no point in only dealing with only one issue when we've got enough spare time to knock down two.

I object to such a vote. The Apocalpyses may had been attacking Corsairs by using our base as a resupply point, but this is no different than the QCP's or the Xenos. They've done nothing to us, at least, as it seems we have done more to them. Sarosen... In particular...
Although, Regardless of this rather powerless councils vote, I shall not attack any Apocalypse unless violating NFZ, and neither shall the rest of my Federation.

Comm ID: Aurelia Silvan
Mr Orphelia, perhaps you should actually do some research on the current situation. From your remarks, mainly; "The Apocalpyses may had been attacking Corsairs by using our base as a resupply point" it's fairly obvious you don't even know what the real issue is here. Please figure out what's going on and then comment. Especially when getting to the comment, "I shall not attack any Apocalypse unless violating NFZ" when the Apocalypse have, in fact, violated the NFZ, on multiple occasions.
Furthermore, you can't tell the Council it can not vote on something. Not even I, chairperson, have that authority. If the Council wants a vote and gets two people to make the motion, it gets a vote.
Also, could you please inform me who is part of the 'Zoner Federation?' For the life of me, I can't seem to recall ever seeing any ships designated as that.. Especially since we don't have any Federation..

Fellow delegates,
first of all I would like to thank you all for the pleasant and enlightening experience I had while participating in the work of this respected Council.
Unfortunately, these recent changes and events have lead me to conclusion that Council is not serving it's purpose properly and does not represent the Zoner state of mind the way it should be doing it. I hold no grudge against any member in particular, I just believe that Council is not properly fitted to deal with the fast changing world around us.
Without further elaboration I'd like to redraw my position in this Council and leave the place empty for someone younger.
I'd also like my name to be removed from the registry of the CoZ delegates.
May the peace be upon You all
