Nathan quickly addresses Duma. "I think you are confused. The only Zoner station The Core has sieged is Freeport 11, because that local Zoner population was frequently drawing our ire. You've mixed us up with the Order and the Corsairs. Regardless, look at things now, The Core has ushered in a new era of prosperity for local Zoners through a myriad of infrastructure and mining contracts, as well a protection from hostile forces. Have you visited the Omicrons at all I wonder?". He then turns to Grachov "You think Carthage was at fault? Are you justifying the actions of the Order and the Corsairs in attacking the local Zoner population? Whos side are you on here?".
The Guildkeeper finally turns his attention towards Doc. "Doctor Holiday, it's very clear that a mutual disgust of the Corsairs is shared by all the major parties in attendence. I don't think we can neglect that fact. At the end of the day, you're going to have to pick which colour of warship you want knocking on your door. But if you choose to remove the Corsairs, there will at least be some kind of semi-unified movement between the people in here towards keeping Omega-49 safe from them. That is, if they do not choose to go peacefully".
Upon hearing Ivan's outburst, Nathan rolls his eyes. "Ivan whateveryournameis, it's only by the grace of Bretonia's war with Gallia that they haven't immediately turned their attention towards Omega-52 and pushed you out of there. You shouldn't display such arrogance when you are talking to your superiors. I think that goes for everyone in this room; which of you can claim to be a House?".
