Watching and listening to all the other thoughts and suggestions Voncloud stood, taking notes of what could be used and what in his opinion was nonsense. He was glad that Doc not only had some sort of combat asset towards his goal of mustering a Pygar defensive fleet, but that he too agreed that strengthening relations in the region was also of paramount importance. It didn't however escape his, and likely everyone else's notice of the sudden change and derailment of the good Doctor when the newest arrival had walked in. The fact Doc ended up retreating to a chair and becoming a pile of nerves upon it prompted Von to pick up where now slumped Doc had left off. Though a brief acknowledgment towards Alessa was included.
"Welcome, please take a seat, much has already been discussed and I will continue on from where Doc just left off in regard to our diplomacy with those in the region.
To Echo and add, most of us here present have good relations with some group here and there, Doc with the Corsairs, Velvet with Core and Order, OSI with the Hessians, so on. Not only do we all have these established relations, we need to ensure we cultivate them, and new ones. What we lack in pure strength as a people we make up for with our connections"
He looks to each one in the room, though his glasses masked exactly where his eyes were. "So, Doc is our main Corsair connection, I ask those of you who are present that feel they can be our link to another group, to speak up and state who they feel they can become our contact for."
