Kallisti!
I have been wrestling with my feelings about your efforts to re-build Freeport 7. I initially opposed it as I feel and still do feel that it is sacred ground. In fact, somewhere amongst that wreckage is a plaque that was made in honor of those who fell that dreadful day. I know because I approved it's construction and placement as a member of the Council of Zoners long ago. While I wouldn't oppose a Freeport in the area again, a recent message I received from a concerned citizen who shall remain nameless. He lost his wife and unborn child there and feels as I do....that the current wreckage should remain undisturbed.
I also said that I would support the Freeport's construction and maintain a medical presence. In fact, I have dispatched [TAZ]Med.Force.Two to make it's way there. It is there for medical, not as an offensive weapon and it's defenses aren't even adequate for itself. BUT, this isn't my point.
I ask of you all to consider building the base, say, 10-15k away from the original site. In doing so, you will get the base you want and leave the wreckage of Freeport 7 as is for the many who would like to leave it as a memorial, myself being one of them. From the distance proposed, it can also be guarded.
It is a wreck site and memorial, not a salvage operation. While I support the construction, I oppose using the original site or disturbing it in any way.
I ask that it be respected.
I await your response.
