I'm not really sure if we have talked before or you had any business with the Zoners of the Omicrons, so let me introduce myself, I'm Quiron Lacroix, member of the Phoenix Zoners. I will reply to your questions on behalf of our leadership. Please excuse me for the delayed answer, there is much on our hands nowadays.
For a brief summary, according to my personal experiences, if I want to describe our neighbors, the Zoner Alliance, I can say they are more likely men of actions than talk, having a rather different point of view about the Zoner ways. To decide if it's good or bad, I would leave it up to you. Sadly it's a fact that they managed to get into conflict with almost every parties of the lower and deep Omicrons, including us as well.
As for now, our stance with them is unfriendly, and the shootings were ceased by both parties a few weeks ago.
Anyway, before we go further, I would like to learn about you, before sharing more sensitive and detailed information. I hope you understand.
I understand your contractor's and your own wish to remain in anonymity, probably you couldn't find anybody in the whole Sector who respects that more than the Zoners. As an inhabitant of the edge worlds, I learned that it is often better to know less than more.
However, in this case you must understand that I cannot give you highly detailed information about our faction policy, as we have to keep our stance at low-risk, especially in troubled times like now. Please don't think we presuppose any ill will from your side, it is just the mandatory precaution.
To answer your questions about our stance with the machines of Gammu and the Corsair Nation, we keep ourselves to the Zoner way while dealing with them. I think that explains everything. As for the Zoner Alliance, I cannot say much more than in my last response. We have an uneasy relationship at this time and I hardly believe it will be changed soon both to negative or positive direction, according to my experience of their diplomatic ways.
