The Zenarch - A Zoner Agora at Mal's

[Doc Holliday]

Doc seemed to lose himself, studying the back log of the meeting and some diagrams and lay-outs of a Leviathon class warship. He was awe inspired by what he read and saw. Hearing the tense line of talk, he lightly smiled and put his arms out.
"Gentlemen," he said with confidence before putting his hands together before him, "let us relax a bit."
He then approached Quiron, "If anyone accused you of being an ally of the Gauls, it didn't come from my office. I know little of the Pheonix."
Doc then turned in the general direction of the TAZ delegation with a stern face. While he was saying it to Quiron, he directed it to his own, "And anyone who wishes to accuse had better be in my office with proof first!"

He again turned to Quiron, "Right now, that warship wouldn't draw the attention then Malaclypse Freeport already has. I understand why it is being sought. That base was built after two Outcasts used two Corvos in piracy against even us. We've had a lot of piracy going on in Baffin and as you know, it's illegal here. I didn't want to secure the system as we have but we had little choice. It has done a fine job of it and the administrator has done a fine job of keeping things in order there."
Doc then began to slowly walk side by side with Quiron, his hands behind his back, "As to the Leviathon. I still haven't weighed in on it. Know this though. I have tried numerous times now to hold talks with the Gallic Royals. Mostly I am met with threats. I see passing Zoner transports with damage from Gallic patrols or worse, their cargoes taken in name of the King. Did you know that Prince DeFrance just left in the middle of our talks? Now I'm not waging a war with them but it's my belief and the belief of others that the Baffin Superhighway is of strategic value to them. Why? It puts there ships on the Eastern border of Bretonia and it the border with Liberty in a lightly patrolled Cortez system."

He tried to re-assure Quiron, "I have to learn more of this ship. It could make a good Med.Force ship based on it's parameters. Know this, it won't be an offensive weapon, not while I'm administrator. Defensive? As I said, I have much to learn of it."
