The Zoner Conference

[Slavik]

Dali cleared his throat. He had been sitting in the back for some time, listening carefully and over thinking some of the arguments.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I fear we are losing momentum because of the pingponging between subjects and the distrust some of us have to others because of things that happened in the recent history.

Whilst I understand the reasons for one to possible sell off Freeport 1 because of increasing House presence I fear that if we do so, the rest of the zoners in the omegas will be forced to pack up there things and leave because of other forces trying to muscle in.

Freeport 5 is highly dependant of Freeport one has a transfer hub and an acces point to the deeper Omegas. I would imagine Porto Novo and Boa Vista to be as well. Bretonia might be highly imperialistic however I have yet to see them use large scale open usage of armed conflict with the zoner population to reach their goals. .

So far their presence on Gran Canaria has been restricted to Port Douglas has it not? I have not seen Bretonian marines patrol the corridors of one. Freeport 1 has a unique position of being a neutral ground right at the edge of the Omegas. Giving up this proud presence would be a loss to not only us Zoners but to many groups operating in the omegas, this should be reminded to every single one of them every now and then.

I would not support open conflict in any way shape or form unless provoked with clear and aimed attacks at our society however, just packing up our things is not the way to handle this threat. Our positions in the omegas depends the ability for our diplomats to make clear the unique and required presence of Freeport one in omega 3 to any and all local powers."

Mr llama looked around the room to see if his message came across and sat down again.
