I am quite astonished the Zoners do not leap at such a chance. There are clearly many wrongdoers who they would like to give justice to. I wonder why they wouldn't?
Oh, it may be because of all the Corsairs they claim have a colony on their planet. Think that's related? I wouldn't want to have to turn over my friends either. Though my friends aren't genocidal pirates obsessed with murder like the Corsairs.
As you'll see from the information my associates provided me, the Zoners near Planet Sydney claim to house a colony of them! I do hope you can ratify this treaty so that Bretonia may see justice done. Why, my good friend lost his legs to a Corsair attack. They seemed to flee in the direction of the Canberra system afterwards even.
I would like to thank Mister Grey for showing that, indeed, the Corsairs and Zoners do in fact have an alliance, even hosting a colony of them on their planet.
I would claim that it was shocking, but everyone knows that many spacefarers are loose-tongued.

First of all, it is NOT planet Sydney. It is Gran Canaria! Get your charts straight, Mr. Grey!
Second, how convenient that the Port Jackson settlement isn't mentioned, you know the settlement that we agreed on after Bowex had claimed that they didn't know Zoners lived on Gran Canaria and just about forced it upon us? So yes, there is a small population of Corsairs living planet side that keep to themselves and there is also Bretonians there, both populations receiving care from my medical teams.
But, I can see that it only serves your convenience to only discuss Corsairs. It's evidence that you don't give two hoots about those you have displaced from their homes during your war with Kusari. Many have told me that themselves.
Are you sure Mr Holliday? Because my map clearly shows that the planet you speak of is called Sydney and is located in the Canberra system.
I am not sure how this war displacement relates to me. I have long supported an end to hostilities.
As to the Bretonians at Port Jackson, I am glad to hear you provide them medical treatment. I would think Bretonia should do the same with any Zoners who reside within Her borders. On the same note, I would hope that if the Zoners wish the Bretonians to extradite citizens the Zoners accuse of crimes that they would reciprocate.
If the Corsairs on your planet are innocent, then how will a fair trial hurt them? Perhaps a remote court could be set up in Port Jackson for such inquiries?

Yes, I'm quite sure my charts are correct, as are those of others. Consult the executives of Borderworld's Exports who have acknowledged that Gran Canaria is in the Omega 49 system and they have acknowledge via written agreement of this and that the system does belong to and always has belonged to us.
As for the Corsair population there. If you are so sick as to put woman and children on trial then be my guest. They are there because they seek a different life, one of a peaceful existence. As with your Bretonian refugees who are there, they also receive treatment and care from my staff. Mind you, because the Corsairs are there and have been for some time doesn't mean an alliance as they live on the other side of the planet. Remember, Sir, I am also a doctor and swore an oath to save lives and help those in need regardless of who they are.
There is also another small population of warriors from another world who live in peace and out of public light. Who they are is none of your concern nor are they a threat to anyone...unless you dishonor them. No, they are not Nomads.
I will have my people consult with Bowex' navigation bureau and see if things have been updated.
I see no problem with putting women on trial. We are not like those barbaric Kusari with their inequality! But if they seek peace, why then do so many bloodthirsty pirates hail from that region of space?

You know something? Gran Canaria was once a peaceful place, so much so that I built my Estate here with 10,000 acres of unspoiled natural wonder. I can sit on my deck with Mrs. Holliday in the morning with our coffee, watch the deer and even the Gaian Wildlife that I purchased with permission from the Bretonian government, enjoying the peace as much as I. I even have a small lakeside cabin on the far end where I escape for some quiet fishing. Never once has there been any criminal mischief on this planet. Now?
These Privateers just invade our space and destroy the tranquility that once was. I will not debate this anymore with you, Mr. Grey, as it seems you have little interest in listening, only judging people whom you know nothing about. It is people like you and the Privateers that have created this mess.

Doc, those are Corsairs living on that planet. Are you really thinking to just let the Bretonians to walk in, extract them and trial them in Bretonian space?
Seriously, doublecheck your situation here. For someone that offers freedom and liberty you're pretty much screwing it up amigo.
Noone is taking Corsairs from Canaria unless they use force.
I'm sure you will pull whatever magic you can from your hat to make all this disappear. Because if we do get a message about Bretonnian hostilities on Corsair nation in Canaria we'll just sit on everyone.
You saw us angry because our nation starves. And it is the duty of well fed to provide them with what they need.
Trust me. You wouldn't like to see us angry because we have been hurt or slaughtered.
You know what i like on you arthur?your arrogant tone.
We dont need docking roghts so remove them for all hpstile to us when you are neutrall.that are your words. What you will?to say council ok and deny acces to all your enemiesincludong kusari and make them enemies to us?
Or to say you no,so your bretonia goverment can send these privateers dogs again?
And taking part of nation that live on gran canaria away only because you dont like them?what youbmake when corsairs ask zoners to kill all tje bretonia refugees in omega 49?. You say ok to that?

Make no mistake, no one is going in to extract any Corsairs who have made their homes on the surface. I'm just rather amused by this Thomas Grey who thinks he is so well informed, which he isn't. So long as I live on Gran Canaria, a peaceful co-existence will continue.
