I will ask once more all of the parties concerned to refrain from any actions until the CoZ makes decision over this case. We have seen to many evidences from both sides showing that none of them were conducting in polite fashion. Capt. Saronsen must explain where he got the idea that he was "Zoner Secretary of Defence"
Col. Kurtz must redraw his ultimatum countdown until Council of Zoners reaches some solution for this madness.
All others must stop with these flaming messages which will bring no good to any side!
I'm waiting for the matter to be defined as a motion and presented to CoZ for discussion and voting procedure.
Then the whole negotiation can go on.
Zoners I ask of you to remember who we are - we are not warriors, nor bullies and we must seek all possible diplomatic ways before using force.
These proofs that seem to be broken are given by Cpt Izii. I copied his... shortcuts... *coughs* (mistake) and his original links *coughs* seem to be in order. I just checked it myself. Check my original proofs I provided first as well. Kuthumii, Saronsen, be sure to double-check all of them, Izzi's and mine. It seems that most of you just didn't bother to take a good look at it.
Mohammad-Sadiq Al-Noori,
at least you are making some sense and you're trying to find a more reasonable conclusion. Be that as it may, I will not withdraw my ultimatum. I just wanted to be treated like everyone else - with neutral approach. They crosses the line. Zoners are not suppose to be like that. They owe us apology.
Great irony is, I'd really think better of them if they could admit that:
- Saronsen shown unnecessary hostility which caused all of this, in past and in this particular incident;
- Aurelia Silvan and Cpt. Izzi jumped into this conflict of witch they had not enough informations.
Only wise men admit their mistakes. Some of you know that I had my shares of mistakes. I proudly admitted when I was wrong, no matter that it seldom happened. I do not run from it, but not this time, for I have not done anything wrong besides overprotecting my men and myself.
17 hours left. I hate being called a liar. I'm really serious about this. Correction: 16 hours and 53 minutes left.

I may only be a captain of my cruiser and not a member of whatever council there is about the place but I do know that these Apocalype fellows are a bad breed. Aint seen anything good come up about them, all they do is cause trouble. Seein' as most Zoners don't like folks causing trouble for 'em, I say we toss em out of our bases.
The 'ultimatum' crap is just that, crap. If they rely on our Freeports for supplies, where the hell are they gunna get em when they can't land there anymore?
If they even think about tryin something on with our ports they'll soon see why the Corsairs and the Outcasts don't try anythin themselves. We aren't a bunch of peace lovin hippies, we'll rip open those tin cans they fly and show them the might of our Juggernaughts.
No matter how them there Zoners talked to ye Apocalypse folks, the Freeports belong to the Zoners, not you. So if you folks think you can disobey what stands as law for us Zoners then you'll soon find yerself not welcome. You disobeyed what the authorities said and you are trying to fight it? No wonder they tossed you outta the Core.
Anyway, just cloggin up the channels now. The 'ultimatum' is only a count down to their own demise. They aint got any way out of this except to listen to what the Council and us Zoners say. Otherwise they lose.

And who the hell are you now? It is obvious that you haven't read everything I've written. It's not about how they talked to us - let us put that aside at the moment. But firing at me FIRST, and giving me warning AFTER, on 2 separate occasions - I find that as a pretty good reason.
And again, as I it is obvious you have not read everything; ultimatum stands for only 3 mentioned above individuals. No one said anything about attacking other Zoners and Freeports! Are you out of your mind? I have friends among Zoners and many friends working on Freeports who I've known for years. Why the hell would I open fire on them? It's rhetorical, don't bother to answer because based on what I've seen, you are not patience enough to read everything carefully, just like the most.

I read it all ye silly ass. It isn't words that matter but yer actions. You folks have showen yerselves to be nothin but trouble wherever you go.
You are threatening fellow Zoners, respected Zoners too. Attack them and you'll find yerself the enemy of at least the majority of sane folk around here.
Ye disobeyed an order from the ones who uphold our laws. Ye don't do that and then expect a bloody apology. No matter how it were done and what they did, you disobeyed em.
'Bout the Freeports too, you can't be serious. How do ye consider basing attacks out of Freeports to be at all safe? As someone already said, it doesn't matter if ye are just getting supplies. If ye get supplies from a freeport and then go raid somewhere, that's basin' out of the Freeport.
Why do ye even need a bloody battleship to get supplies anyway? Transports would make more sense, can hold a lot more too.
In the end mate, you only have one realistic choice. Ye can try attack us Zoners and watch as yer world suddenly turns a bit less friendly or ye can listen to the Council and maybe show some intelligence fer once.
As a captain of a Guard gunboat patroling the area of our Freeport in the Omicron Delta system in the last eight months I am convinced I have the right to comment on this diplomatic problem. Us Zoners are group of individuals who consider using our ships for battle is the very last resort in a conflict. And as a Zoner I have the freedom to reveal my opinion regardless who am I and where I am from. Colonel Kurtz chosen to resolve the situation by sending us a message what I found not offending, and properly crafted. We are not supposed to be relying on rumors about people as long as they are not endangering Zoner lives. And a Zoner opening fire on vessel regardless of size is a confusing and disrespectful act. A Zoner should respect all human beings by using words instead of using weapons like some barbarians from the Houses. We are are not turning our backs when either a Bounty Hunter a Corsair or an Order vessel is in need of supplies. Our policy is not to take part in conflicts especialy not against people showing no hostile intentions toward us. Our friendship toward the Order does not mean we go and shoot all of their foes but not standing in their way plus providing support against our -common- enemies. Colonel Kurtz adressed us Zoners in a proper maner and provided informations about the situation as best as he could. In return some of us answered him in a way nobody deserves. The Colonel might be short in temper out there in the void where he face more enemies than us every day and we are not here to judge him based on his personality. If somebody is endangering the safety of your vessel and your crew it is natural to be not glad and happy. Weapons are very serious things and a Zoner should think aout thrice before using them against anybody not on the list of his or her enemies. And for everything dear in this universe, us Zoners should watch our tongue even if somebody insulted us. Many of the replies of Zoners shown disrepect toward a neutral individual who adresed us without offending words. No word is offending even somebody is enraged when it is a reaction to the endangering of the lives of his crew. I believe the Colonels' ultimatum's goal is to reveal how serius is are lives of human beings and not to provoke unnecesary bloodshed out there. A Mortar is dreadful weapon and using it as warning is not an act of neutrality but could be considered to be a threat... against other human beings. I will not prevent the Colonel from repairing his ship and buying supplies at our Freeport because he is not an enemy of us Zoners. If any of yours would like to find me around there you are free to come and ask about me. If I will be there I will respond and will be willing to discuss the matter. An other option is you could send me a message and ask for the details of my ship. My job is ensurin peace and not shooting at other ships

With all due respect,
either reveal your identity or stay out of this discussion please. I've already seen too many new faces shoving their noses in this matter and making things even more difficult.
These are severe accusations and we cannot allow just anybody to come in here and make their claims without any proof or evidence.
I appreciate good intentions of some people but sometimes path to hell is paved with good intentions.
So, only CoZ members and others addressed in this message can participate in this discussion. Understanding that they need to present themselves in proper manner. No secret identities please
from: Captain Julia Sutherland
location: Livadia Shipyard, Omicron 74
My name is not known to any Zoner of high position of the Sirius Sector and therefore I am usualy not considered as a woman who has a word. As a Guard I am doing my job by protecting people onboard Freeport 11 regardless of thir "faction" colors. Even if I am guarding the lives of people just because my name is not well known, my words worth less than the worst chunks of scrap in a debris field. I did not see any signs of considering my words in your reply to my transmission. I am not saying you ignored them only you did not believe I am trustworthy
So to prove my honesty I hand over the requested data. The ID of my ship's communication channel through Neural Net is Eryss. I am returning with my crew to Omicron Delta as soon as we finished with the monthly repairs of my ship. My name is Julia Sutherland
Now I request my first message to be considered as a transmission of a trustworthy Zoner of Omicron Delta instead of a transmission of an untrustworthy individual. I believe now there is nothing what could prevent you from listening to my perspective of the events
' Wrote:17 hours left. I hate being called a liar. I'm really serious about this. Correction: 16 hours and 53 minutes left.
I will go ahead and remind you that if you fire on one Zoner, you have fired on us all. You attack these men and you will have lost your ability to repair, resupply, and refit your ships. This means, even if you manage to take down a few Zoners, you will have to retreat to House space to resupply, or die. I highly doubt you will fair any better there either.
So, do you think you can survive without the use of our stations?
Quote:Only wise men admit their mistakes. Some of you know that I had my shares of mistakes. I proudly admitted when I was wrong, no matter that it seldom happened. I do not run from it, but not this time, for I have not done anything wrong besides overprotecting my men and myself.
Your mistake was disobeying a direct order from more than one Zoner. You broke our laws and you have not offered an apology nor have you attempted to make amends; yet, you demand that others apologize to you? You seem to think that just because you were treated bad gives you the right to break laws.
You see the part I bolded? I don't see you following through on it, yet you claim it. Protecting your men? By issuing your little threat you have ensured that they will die in combat or starve to death because you won't be able to resupply your self.
Take a few seconds to remember how it is your are able to operate the way you are. It is because of us, the Zoners. Only an idiot bites the hand that feeds it. I hope you aren't such, it would pain our equipment dealers to lose such profitable clients.
