[Anti-Bretonian Front]

NEURAL NET MESSAGE RECEIVED

ERIK SLOAN, ABF

Anti-Bretonian Front would like to make an official statement.

In the recent days, Duma Lexington has been heating up the relations between Gran Canaria and Bretonians. While we all can agree that presence of Battleship Stirling is something that may be treated with utter suspicion, to the point of outright hostilities. Sadly, this prevailed and due to specific machinations within ABF and led into personal vendetta of the man that had been stirring the relations, even to the point of flaunting The Summit. However, as a close relative of William Steiner noted in a private talk, both William Steiner and Duma Lexington created a rather unsettling situation as the most vocal figures due to their stubborness and already strained atmosphere.

ABF was created in the first place as a diplomatic beacon for Zoners who disliked presence of Battleship Stirling inside Omega-49. However, ambition of a rather sour man who survided through hells of Freeport 11, as well as using loss of Freeport 2 to criminals as a fear factor, this quickly went out of the rails. Around 1800 Hours SMT, Duma Lexington has been deprived of control over the organization and put into domestic arrest. Anti-Bretonian Front stands leaderless - maybe for the better. Just recently I pushed a private note towards one of OSI representatives in which I stated the end to internal affairs and to cool down entire situation, before it could spiral out of control.

According to that note, ABF is willing to demilitarize itself - keeping the light escort vessels - and to cease following Duma Lexington's ways of hostility and resort to reasoning through diplomacy, while still pointing out at the fact that Battleship Stirling should be removed from Omega-49 in order not to put Gran Canaria into risk. Criminals or not, Zoners still need to maintain neutrality, yet BAF warship might be received by Corsairs as violation of that neutrality within the system and turn against everyone in it - including Bretonians refugees who seek shelter. Given what is happening within New London right now, we can pretty much say everyone are scared and - as seen by example of infamous Duma Lexington - may lead into paranoia and catastrophic results of that paranoia.

Sincerely,
Erik Sloan
