We dare to defend our lives.
To all who recieve this:
I'm trying to tend to business and I hear this.
The topic of the discussion at hand is Commune, not Order banter hour.
That being said -
Enma, The situation is this - We're not willing to play nice with a faction that not only aids the Nomads, but has threatened to use thermonuclear weapons on our station, held my superior at both proverbial and literal gunpoint, which I have audio logs of and footage of, if I can locate the latter.
Even if I were willing to play nice with the Commune, the populace of this station would HAVE. MY. HEAD. And honestly, I wouldn't blame them!
Furthermore - Vex - as much as I have disdain for the man - I will not be using the defense forces to engage in undue acts of aggression. Equal response to opposing force and what not.
If any other Freeport wants their business, fine - to each their own - but I'm not going to sell out the people who have suffered enough in this damned system in the past years as a result of the unending violence. All they want - is to be Left. The hell. ALONE - and they do not want to deal with people who would sooner kidnap them and feed them to the K'hara for lunch.
Freeport 11 has been dealing with attacks and threats long before you showed up. If the Commune wish to continue as they are, so be it, But dont think for a second we will be bullied.
If your Ordering the Commune to Cease Fire, then good, if their ships do not threaten or attack us, we have no reason to attack back. Regardless of person, outside of Nomads we Zoners do not engage unless absolutely necessary or in self Defense.
So, if you dont shoot us, we dont shoot back, that seems like the best this situation can get right now.
If you wish to make a bigger step towards Peace, Get Nomak to disarm his NEMP and show us proof that the weapon is out of his hands. And if you can show that the Commune are even following your Orders then that will be an even greater gesture.

A cute AI girl told me Nomak made her upset.
That is enough reason for me to murder him and bring his head back as a trophy.
Oh and I am out of tea, so that is a bonus.

DECRYPTING MESSAGE
Enma. How unsurprising.
You definetly do not surprise everyone with your words, now do you? Playing your little mind games with the Zoners, right? That is almost cute but unfortunately a bit too obvious. You should know better especially when it is about the Commune, they are sort of your friends afterall. Have fun trying to fool the people here though, I am not going to stop you anymore. You are just a small replacable asset of theirs, no need to give you any more attention than a good laughter.

We dare to defend our lives.
Now that I have reviewed Voncloud's comment, I will say this much. If Nomak will surrender all thermonuclear munitions in the Communes' posession to a third party to be disarmed, I will accept a ceasefire. however, at least for Freeport 11, the prohibition of Docking and entrance into the NFZ for Commune ships will be retained.
Time and time again, it has been proven that the law of Delta is dictated by our hands. With a snap of our fingers, chaos turns into law and vice versa. The strong make the rules.
The Freeport is of key importance to us. You have our assurance that it will not come to harm, and that the threat of NEMPs to your station will be removed.
The first step to assuring that would be the denunciation amd destruction of the Order. The threat of NEMPs can only true be gone once they are neutered.
Commune have pledged loyalty to me mother, whom I am currently representing, but Nomak have his own way of doing things. But... never the less, order remains in power, since Confederation is willing to uphold the ceasefire.
Nodoka, I will call you in two weeks, so we can arrange things properly. Once all this drama will calm down and we have ceasefire working for some time.
