Doc just turned in a mild state of shock. He stood frozen, the cognac in his glass settled from the delay in motion.
"I am shocked, Prince," he finally replied, "I seriously thought I would have to give retribution at least and now I find my people allowed to traverse into Gallic space."
He then took a few steps towards him, "I will make it easy for you. I will supply you with a list of trade ships, ships that will require transponder frequencies for safe passage and I will keep it limited so that they may be closely monitored. Escort ships I will leave up to you as to yea or nay."
Doc was still shocked. He wanted to free up the Taus for Zoner travel but didn't want to push his luck. He sipped his cognac and carefully asked of him, "would it be much to ask for Zoners to be able to pass through the Taus, namely Tau 31 and Edinburgh? It makes running goods to and from our home world and visiting families much easier and for security patrols to protect Zoner transports from piracy."
He delayed and finished, "My goal is to earn some trust from the Royals. Mal always loved the Privas cluster in Dauphine."
He stepped away for a moment and then turned back to him, "You really would have rathered Command Rajuc to have succeeded? To think I disciplined him for it."
He then took the cognac bottle, "Refill, Monsieur?"
