Senors,
I have no real desire to pour anything remotely flammable onto this particular issue but I would like to make a recommendation to all Zoners everywhere.
In view of our recent peace accord and I believe the general desire of all that signed it for peace to be maintained, I have noted at least one of the "local" Zoners seems to believe that it is sensible and safe to attend a party on an Outcast vessel that is located in Theta.
Quote:Calling Zoners oversensitive while your flashing jealousy that Zoners might have some simple and unpolitical party fun on an Outcast vessel is the joke of the week.
Whilst I would not suggest that he should be prevented from excercising his rights as a free person to attend such a party, I would also hope that he would have the good grace to not complain if the "party" was literally destroyed around him whilst he was enjoying a drink and perhaps a nibble or two (all credit to Senor Ferguson for having not complained that his parties host might be shot at). I'd also expect that other Zoners would agree with me that attending such a party might be considered somewhat foolhardy if the location of the party was on a patrol route of the hosts enemies. Putting it bluntly there is almost bound to be trouble.
Trouble that will unfortunately be reflected on all of those nearby - Zoner or otherwise.
I would therefore urge all of the residents of FP9 not to attend such parties in the future, and to refrain any and all actions that might create any ambiguities as to their stated neutraility. I'm sure that the leadership of FP9 and the high command of the Omicroners can see the sense in this.

Mr. Benitez, we will not reveal all of our means to investigate what is going on in Omicron Theta. Rain on our parade again, and we will have to withdraw all of our attempts to search for preemptive security measures to contain potential conflicts. This is explicitely no threat and not an attempt to raise issues beyond the current state, but just a delicate matter of fact.

Senor Ferguson,
I have received your last encrypted transmission, and have decoded it a number of time to be certain of it's contents. Having done that I have absolutely no idea what you are talking about. I was unaware that any parades had been taking place?
If you would care to explain what it is that you are actually asking me to do I will be pleased to consider your request.
Feel free to contact me directly, or via this channel.
Elder Valentine, I will stand by Mr Ferguson in his transmission. What he said was somewhat accurate. No wrongdoing really took place on the Zoners part.
The SCRA vessel was found and booted out and the SCRA are currently paying reparations for the incident. These will be used towards getting our docking bays security up to scratch and slowly fixing up bits of the station as well as increasing our food capacity. Since, well, there are fewer people there is more space for food and other supplies.
Elder Benitez, I do see your point. I understand that frolicking with a faction that the Corsairs are hostile with is seen badly. However, from another viewpoint, even talking to the Corsairs is seen badly.
What I am trying to say is quite simple. I am not about to voluntarily block a Zoner from his right to associate. The quorom would hang me and I'd be a laughing stock of the people.
Now, I think we should end on that note, before as Mr Ferguson put it we get into philosophical banter.
My communications with the omnicroners will sieze as of today. I see a tendency developing here. The only zoners that are arrogantly mocking the empire seem to be them. I dont know where they got the military resources to be so arrogant about taking on the empire, but I shall turn my attention more toward your spicific little group from now on. It seems you are the worm at the center of the big zoner apple.

Mis queridos amigos y vecinos,
I do not think to complain because there are Casts on Omicron Theta and then you deploy several Caps in Omega 49 (too close to Gran Canaria). If you refuse actually have enemies near yours coasts in neutral zones, neither do ye.
I also tell you that if you invite me to a party at Omega 49 I'm going with you. As I doubt that the SCRA, RHA or Bretonians accuse me of collaborating with their enemy.
I think my point was perhaps somewhat missed since I did not suggest that people should not attend any particular party. I merely hoped to make it clear that attending the parties of some folk, and then getting caught in any subsequent crossfire was not something that should be complained about.
I also believe that this general communication channel is now far from it's original purpose which appears to have been resolved, and as such I shall no longer be monitoring it.
