Ms Allen, proper diplomacy? You must have a bad case of this Harris Disease. I mean, really? If you were doing this diplomatic summit properly, then both the Colonial Republic and the Coalition Goverment would have been represented.
As things stand, I only see you making one of the most patient entities, the Virulian Enclave, leave. Does that not tell you anything?
Now, you ignorant fool, your summit was undone by you, the very ones who wished to have it!
You wished to silence the Colonial Republic, who can crush you with just thier carrier Rubicon, and us, who can crush you with only the might of Rhade's Muscles!

Mhh. First Bretonia and Liberty with that Curacao Treaty balloon and now this. As far as becoming a qualified Sirian politician, miss Allen seems well on her way.
*he flicked the screen off and shook his head*
Wonder how long it'll take before an angry mob decides to get in orbit of Curacao...
Wide awake in a world that sleeps, enduring thoughts, enduring scenes. The knowledge of what is yet to come.
From a time when all seems lost, from a dead man to a world, without restraint, unafraid and free.

Oh wait..where's my direct line to Curacao, land of those who value freedom, the credits of the rich, and the perversions of the "Legal" Houses. I do enjoy fishing there, tho...
Nevertheless, gentlemen,
Baffin will continue.. flanked by the "illegal" Colonial Republic whose civilian population now resides in toto on the "illegal" Planet Pecos, and by Commander Matok's small but deadly cadre of defenders on Freeport 6, another bunch of "illegal" bumpy-headed immigrants, no doubt.
I apologize for usurping your bandwidth, Premiere Katz, but I have a message for Madam Allen, and then must hurry back to Port Canaria.
Apparently, our autoharvesters cannot recognize the seeds in our Kallisti Gold crop, and must be reprogrammed. Until that is done, I must endure several weeks of supervising our Quality Control Department. If anyone would care to join me, it will make this drudgery more enjoyable.
Ladies and Gentlemen, allow me to introduce myself. I am Walter Stryker, owner of the mobile hotel and casino Greycliffe and independent contractor for Orbital Spa and Cruise. Now, I have been monitoring the OSC communication channel and, though it might not be my place to do so, I would simply like to say that Ms. Allen has caused a great deal of dissatisfaction even here within her own company.
On behalf of what holdings I control in OSC, I wish to apologize to all offended parties. I hope that the actions of a single woman will not permanently damage the good relations Orbital Spa and Cruise, and her captains, have with most all of Sirius.
I for one, am glad of your refusal Ms Allen. What you talk of is no true diplomatic gathering. Who is to judge what constitutes a legal Government? A tourism company operator too busy giggling like a pubescent schoolgirl finally given a 'real job'? I would suggest you learn your place, Ms Allen, lest the size of head prevent you from attending to those cheap brochures you so enjoy. The people of the Coalition and Colonial Republic deserve representation at a true summit, not a boys club above some tourist-choked corner of the galaxy. Kindly take a lesson in humility from the good Mr Stryker, for all our sakes.
What needs to be said, has already been said. After all, I would not wish to bore you with the voice of an illegal soldier. Now, if you will excuse me.
I am a pilot. I am a Soldier. Most of all, I am a Citizen of the Coalition.
Since when do you, Ms. Allen, care about foreign governments? You should stick to planning your luxury trips all day long. That's what you did before, da?
This is outrageous!
