[color=#FFFFCC]Viriato, Doc, any other Zoner that it concerns.
We all should learn on our own mistakes. Aurelia message to us was only a provocation to unleash chaos and conflict within Zoners once again as it happened in fall of Zoner alliace. I cant express my dissapointment in how easy you fallen under influence of that traitorous viper. Look at yourself, if any serious attack on ALL Zoner hapens we are powerless right now. Myself may dislike OSI ways of 'being Zoner' but that does not change fact we should unlike during fall of ZA stand together no matter our differences.

Doc sits back a moment, thinking about what John Douglas stated. He then thinks to himself, "Damn....I used to say that about all of Sirius.
Mr. Douglas, you are right. I've often preached to many around Sirius about fighting over petty differences and I've found myself doing just that. I'm thinking maybe it's time some of us sit down, sooner than later, and at least talk.
Mr. Viriato, I would be very interested in visiting your church. A Discordian I may be but it's not beneath me to visit someone else's faith. I don't know how close to you my estate is on Canaria but I can arrange a visit.
It is quite obvious that you dont know the full story of what happened with the
Corsairs. At the time I was left in charge of the TAZ and had to make a
decision whether to pit a few hundred Zoners against an entire world
of Corsairs just one jump away. I tried my best to seek a peaceful resolution
that was indeed being saught by the other side. However there was too much
provocation and insults on both sides for this to happen, which I eternally regret.
I dont judge the decision of the ZTC or the Omicroners as wrong. However, I
do believe that the same result could have been achieved without bloodshed which
I was working towards. Unfortunately too many voices were screaming for blood,
and my opinions in the Zoner Alliance as head of the TAZ were ignored. To me, this
was no longer an Alliance, so I made the decision to leave it. I gave Zoners the
option of not fighting and I stand by that decision even today.
You call us cowards and fanatics. Viratio, I can understand that we may seem like
cowards but someone has to take a step back and analyse the strategic facts of the
situation. Running head first into the mouth of a beast isnt strategic. It may be
glorious and worthy of song but it wont save lives nor win a war.
On that note, we do NOT seek war with anyone. Doctor Holliday has an obvious issue
with Miss Silvan, that much is clear, as do I since I was once an independant delegate
of the Council of Zoners which she abandoned. Abandoned because we werent dancing to her
tune, not doing as we were told as good little subjects should do when given orders by
their princess. *sigh* I digress. While we may be animated in communications we are not
warmongering. We have made it crystal clear that we wont shoot any Gallic ships unless
provoked. We know all too well that there are many ignorant people who will
generalise all Zoners as hostile if one pulls the trigger.
One more point before I wrap this rather long communique up. While Miss Silvan talks
of peace her actions in the past tell a different story. She has been seen on multiple
occasions on the side of Gallic soldiers announcing that all Sirians are little more
than trash with a rather clear intent to kill us all. By her unofficial actions and
words she has painted herself as the enemy to us all and in turn made us hostile
to her presence in any capacity. This is why we are apprehensive when she suddenly
comes out of the blue stating she isnt a bad girl and wants peace.
We have seen to much and heard to much to simply believe this propoganda. Something
is going on in the background that the average person cannot see. Some of believe it
is making us fight each other, others believe it is to pull us into a false sense of
security. Whatever the reasons for this, I know I can agree that Miss Silvan isnt being
totally honest with us.
Believe what you will, just be cautious. And please dont judge us based on such shallow
information.

What Aurelia is doing is not dividing the Zoners, that was already done long time ago. There is 3 major groups and all 3 think diferent ways, well ... Zoners are like that, a group of individuals, but is sad that similiar situations there is diferent reactions. While the south Zoners had problems with Corsairs and B Hunters, the north Zoners did nothing, and now the north Zoners "probably" will gonna have problems with Gallia and what the south Zoners should do?!!! Aurelia talked about peace and you insulted her, why you did that? Because of the past? Why you don't wait for her actions? Do what i did, i seek peace but i prepared to war! New Lusitania is a small community but it is all surrounded by land mines, turrets and is protected by a shield that in less one week, can hold any attack of any size. I bet that many house military facilities are not so well protected. I have my people protected and do you see me insulting her? Is that what your God or Goddess teach you?! We have many religions here and the temple will not only serve one, because will not be a church or something, will be more like some gardens were people can come and meditate, and can make some ceremonies like marriages.
So my advise is simple ... SHUT UP WITH THE INSULTS ... and let her come! If she comes in peace she will be treated in peace, if she will not come in peace ... well ... nothing is to be said. I don't like you TAZ and every time i see one of you i and all my captains hail your captains. My main ship is on Gran Canaria, and i have one destroyer on Theta and if i see one of you been attacked we will protect you, and i you know well how much i dislike you. Even so the invitation to Doc visiting New Lusitania is valid and it will be welcome but when all this is done. All this construction takes time, i gathered so many resources that i could build a spacestation, all are been used.
Also one thing ... what is the diference between the Gallia on the Taus and the Bretonia and Rheinland on Omega? How many time FP2 had problems with Liberty and Rheinland? How many times Kusari created problems because FP6? See?! It is all the same, and Zoners simply have this bad luck!
Think well what you say to her because you are only given a excuse or a reason to attack.
Her actions have already determined her course. The past was the present not too long
ago and we havent forgotten what was said and done. If People want to listen to her
and take her words seriously, that is their wish. However, we cant afford that
luxury, not when our home system is a few jumps away from the Taus. It may be a
simple matter for you to say this seeing as you are sitting comfortably in your
fortress on Gran Canaria which has an entire house between it and Gallia. Again, we
dont have that luxury.
If the Princess is so inclined to make it alright with Zoners then she will go that
extra mile and answer our claims as well.
We are not fools Viriato, we are one of the oldest ever known Zoner group entities
in existence. We have seen Sirius' political, social and militaristic nature change
many times over the years and have learned to read the signs when something big is
coming our way.
If we are making Silvan's job harder, it's because she has MUCH to answer for.
This may fall on deaf ears but I suggest you take into account the years of
experianceand knowledge that you are so quick to judge. Especially in your case,
where you are obviously quite new to this.
You dont like us Viriato, simply because you dont understand us.
You dont understand much by the looks of things. Take a look at what has
happened in the past, learn and develop your understanding and THEN you will
have the means to make judgements.
Otherwise stop wasting your and our time with baseless talk.

Yes Mr Triton i now have a fortress far away from the Taus! Funny ... i can say the same about you when Corsairs and B Hunters started to shoot Zoners on the Omicrons, and there what i had to protect me has a class 9 shield and some armor, that wasn't enough and the ship that i was serving was destroy. History repeats but this times we are in diferent positions!
