Voncloud crossed his arms as the conference continued, though seemed to be quickly off track in different directions depending on who you asked.
His arm lifted from the other, so he could rest his chin and ponder, muting the buzz of everyone out for the moment before looking up and clearing his throat
"Gentleman, ladies and all others present. It's Clear that if Pygar and avoiding the fate of Gran Canaria is the focal point of this meeting, then it is obvious to me what it is we must do" His arm returns to its crossed position as he slowly paces across the floor "We must play to our relative strengths, not just as individual entities but also as Zoners. It would do us ill to consider only the one option, or one angle if you will. No one solution will be enough, nor should it be, we must ensure we attack this problem using what resources we have in every area. "
Once he reaches the other end of the room he turns to face those who were gathered. "This is what I propose, and in my opinion the best course of action in regard to Pygar.
When it comes to its defense physically in space, this will be handled by Velvet with my Black Kite Squadron taking the lead, but I would ask that each group with any vested interest in Pygar lend some sort of combat asset, whether it's a squadron of fighters or a capital ship. Velvet cannot take on something like a house military on its own.
When it comes to the surface, Pygar already has one hell of a defensive advantage in the shape of its cave networks. They are narrow, twisty and easy to get lost in. If we can exploit that then it gives us another string to our defensive bow" He turns his head towards Martin "I believe you said you had some projects for defense purposes, id be interested in hearing those and what idea's you may have."
HIs arm returns up to head, resting his chin upon his fist "But this is only one of the aforementioned angles. Another we must consider should we strengthen Pygar is our diplomacy and relations with those who inhabit the Omicrons. There are many out here who would rather not see Government or house flags suddenly flying above locations throughout this region of space. It's my belief that for us to secure Pygar we NEED to make sure we have the other locals on side. The Corsairs to name a good example were a significant force against the occupation of Gran Canaria.
The Core and Order would be loath to give up any space to house forces that could be used to spearhead a campaign against either of them. There are a few here who i feel would be perfect to lead diplomatic relations with any one of these groups, I would not recommend we leave it all to just the one person however. We need diplomacy to be on multiple fronts just as much as we do our physical defenses.
He looks around the room "These are my thought's having been holding Vigil over Pygar as to what it needs in regard to its defense"
