First Baffin Zoner Zummit at The Zenarch, Malaclypse Freeport

[Cmdr. Blaine Chara]

Matok was sitting and listening. Since his feelings were being shared, he didn't have more points to prove. That's about the time on a view screen that pictures of Prince Joseph DeFrance being near FP11. He didn't doubt Doc's credibility and this only made him feel all the better. He still said nothing. He only grinned a bit before catching a glimpse of Lucky LeRoux.

We should talk mate... before you leave if we can... now we're here and drinkin' someone else's beer."

"I can see how you might want to stay away from this Federation... No quarrel. From where FP6 sits, ya might feel happy. But in return, I hope you see my viewpoint with regard to FP10... We're on the front line mate, so, to be able to call on Commonwealth ships and other Zoners in an emergency quickly, is important, so embracing the CoF becomes easy. I won't have time to come back to this committee to debate an invasion, I'll need back up, smart and swift."

"That saying... It's in the interests of both FP10 and FP6 to maintain our strong links. Let me know if ya need anything in particular...

Hope you understand.....It's about time we got together.

"I agree," answered Matok. "Regardless of what decisions we make for our respective bases, you and I do not have neighbors close by. We need to work together. After this meeting, we will discuss this further."
