"It is amazing how black and white children see things," Doc answered, "The problem is, that was advice I gave her." He sits back, "Me and my big mouth."
After a sigh and a pause, Doc gave his feelings, "I know I already told them both to go home, explaining that each is here because of the other. That was days ago and their presence has only increased."
Doc stood up, looking off a bit, "I've had much diplomatic success with both groups and this is where it's ended up. I don't see myself as much of an option at this point and your men are doing the best they can with what they've got."
Doc thought a moment. As an idea came to him, a smile grew on his face. He turned to Duncan and simply said, "Bretonia."
Doc then tossed a playing card on the desk before Duncan, an Ace of Spades.
He turned and paced, snickering as he did. Then he turned the other way, still snickering before he turned back to Duncan, "They would have a great interest in this issue since so many of their own people are war refugees at Port Jackson going back to their war with Kusari. They can't claim a piece of the planet for themselves as they already have an ongoing lease, many of their medical staff there I work with is Bretonian and the very mention of Corsairs bombing the planet would get their attention."
After a pause, he finished, "Problem is, can they spare a force long enough to rid us of the Corsairs while they fight Gallia?"
