Moore, this is Captain Trogdor, head of the guard here in '49. Please forgive Mr. Varcona's limp response, he doesn't have a lot of experience in this sort of thing.

Now, I'm not looking to get into yet another conflict fresh off the heels of this fiasco with the Coalition, but you lot seem to have forgotten the terms of the understanding between our peoples. So let's have a little refresher, shall we?

First off, your request for compensation is denied. Do we tax your ships when they fly through our space? No. Do we charge you a fee for enjoying the sanctuary of Zoner establishments? No. Could we? Oh, yes. Staying neutral and keeping the peace isn't cheap, y'know. And in exchange for this gracious hospitality, all we ask is that you leave us, and our suppliers, alone.

But you haven't. You've been raiding us in Dublin, New London and elsewhere for some time now. Even when those suppliers are clearly broadcasting Zoner identification. Frankly, it's insulting.

And so no, the ball is not in our court, it is in yours. If you want to find yourselves unwelcome in our house and potentially make a very dangerous enemy, then by all means, continue on your present course. Otherwise I suggest you tighten the leash on your people.

//And by the way, it's poor form to treat ingame combat as canon. Particularly when there are external factors which influence the outcome, such as the framerate glitch.
