"I, for one, have issue with supplying a people with sustenance who have repeatedly shot at, taxed and bullied the very people who work hard to produce that food," Doc sharply responded to both Voncloud and Kelly. Doc then gave a hmph, "Hell, I remember when your founder, Sam Nichols, began negotiations to supply the Corsairs with food. They STILL wanted him to pay tax while supplying them and shot up some ships. I wonder what Sam Nichols would say if he knew what's been going on?"
"But," Doc began to explain to all present, holding his hands behind his back to present an open front, "I think we should focus on prevention. It seems the Sairs are backing off a bit. What will we do to counter this again? Maybe not in space but on the surface? I admit, we can't out pilot the Corsairs but we can give them hell on the planet and yes, it can be done. As Mr. Stowe stated, they will be back."
He then turned to Voncloud, "And disarming the populace, even if you're hiding the weapons to fool the Sairs isn't a good idea. I know a good many Zoners who spend weeks on end exploring Canaria who are quite good at guerilla tactics.
After all, it was those kinds of tactics that helped the American colonists to defeat the then strongest military force on old Earth to win it's independence in the Earth year 1783."
