We don't need to argue over who owns what if you simply agree to end Zoner mining operations. We had both set our eyes upon and starting extracting Iridium before the Zoners could even spell it. From our viewpoint, The Core is the rightful owner of a commodity they laid claim to before any other party. Independent Zoners thought it would be wise to test that mettle since then. It's not about eating the whole Cake, we just don't want certain people intruding on the party and getting their dirty hands all over it.
I didn't sugar coat my statement about the attacks. Yes, we did those, and it is by your volition that you have stubbornly chosen to repair each time only for us to tear you back down. You can only bleed so much I imagine.
In all honesty, we couldn't care less if we could dock on Zoner stations or not and vice versa. It is through our benevolence that we still haven't banned Zoners from our stations, for those sympathetic and understanding of our position. But beyond sympathy, you do not owe us anything, nor can you realistically provide us with anything we cannot attain already through other means. Hypothetically, you could offer us more. But by no means do you offer any services we depend on.
What you have done is far worse indeed. The Zoners break our laws, hoard illegal alien materials, steal our resources, have frequently assisted our enemies, and have even attacked our own people. Our actions have been reactionary. Unlike other denizens in the Omicrons, we aren't people you can irritate and not expect us to bite back. We are not intolerant of anyone coming into Delta, provided they are under the flag of Omicronis or are our allies. The Zoners have proven to be neither, time and time again.
We are still firm in our stance that Freeport 11 in its current state is something we cannot tolerate. If you wish for long-term peace and longevity, then you would be wise to re-consider those terms. You said yourself you deal with your problems with words. Prove it.
