Friends, Rivals and Tenstions: The Summit at Tombstone

[Lythrilux]

Nathan crossed his arms and released a hearty laugh. "The solution is obvious then isn't it? There is a single trait shared across the vast majority of the people here: burning hatred for the Corsairs".

Nathan then moved his eyes between Doc Holiday and Voncloud. "And Zoners, you may try to wave you neutrality in this matter, but let us not forget that it was only under a year ago that the Corsairs sided with Order terrorists in a brazen attack against the Confederation of Freeports and all Zoners under their care; including those on Gran Caneria". NAthan's right eye quickly flashes with white light - the ARES-Class eye cybernetic activates - and he displays several holographic images for the delegation to see: Corsair and Order capital ships in the Freeport 11 NFZ, attacking Zoner vessels and Port Carthage. He blinks and the projection ends. His eye returns to normal.

"It's within the interests of everyone to remove the Cretan colony. The Core is very proficient in removing unwanted Corsair colonies, and can instruct and train regulators with in-depth means to displace them" Nathan shoots a grin at the lone Corsair girl across the room, and subtly taps the bottom of his rifle with his finger.

Finally he turns towards the Coalition delegates in the room. "Now Reds, it sounds a lot like you want to use the Zoners as a squishy buffer between yourselves and Bretonia? That's not very honest" he jeered at them. "Care to elaborate on what the movements of Coalition Military vessels will be after this hypothetical development?"
