The Zenarch - A Zoner Agora at Mal's

[Quiron]

Quiron lost in his thoughts while watching Baffin's space from the Freeport, he clearly felt that the meeting was slowly departing from the original subject, the schematics of the Leviathan. We are arguing now who is in a worse situation, who is more capable to have such a technology. And above all, we all want to keep away that ship from the human nature like this. I think that's called irony. He laughed within himself. Although, one name suddenly brought him back. Doc Holliday. The honorable Doc Holliday is here in this station? Why didn't he join to this meeting from the beginning, I wonder.

"Mr. Stone." he started while still admiring the view from the conference room. "I won't lie to you, as we live on the other side of the Sector, we don't have any particular issues with the Gauls, since we’re avoiding any battlefield or conflict in the first place. As you’re living in doorstep of new powers in the Tau sector, we highly recommend to change the plasma fire to the weapon of diplomacy as Zoners usually do. Anyway, of course it doesn't mean we approve or accept the acts of the Royalists, but I'm sure I don't have to explain it further to a Zoner."

He turned to the addressed. "We both agree that the ship shouldn't fall into the wrong hands, as you and we have expressed our concerns before. Now think it over, if we somehow are able to construct a second Leviathan - which actually had never successed before - that would double the chances of this ship is getting attention by external unwanted parties. That would be oil on the fire you have mentioned. Also, we are still waiting for a proper answer about how you would plan to beat off a full house army with a single warship in case of a Gaul attack."

After a small pause, he started his final thoughts. "About the safety once again, Elizabeth Tate has left her ship into the custody of our small group, not the TAZ's. I think that proves a bit our reasons according to the placement of the Leviathan. You should be assured, we have learned from the mistakes of our predecessors as keeping ourselves out of the spotlight, which seems impossible here in Baffin due to the geographical circumstances."
