While Duncan started to talk, Christian received a signal, TAZ guests are coming. He deepen in his thoughts for a moment, but then started to listen carefully what Duncan saying and looked at him. He give a impression of wise leader, and it gives opportunity of a deeper cooperation between us.
As John Rackam entered room and greeted us, Christian smiled politely.
"John, it's a pleasure to meet you in a such place, please have a seat. I won't waste our time for useless talks which are going to nowhere, but we should to discuss few sensitive topics, and it may take awhile."
"Dunkan, we shall talk about this later. Perhaps, after discussion of main topics of this meeting. Probably TAZ would be interested to know what's Phoenix, how we are running, and what we are do."
Christian smiled guardedly and started announcement.
"My friends... I glad to see you've arrived on my call. All of us are enlighted and even been of part of conflicts ongoing in Omega - 49 and Omicron - 74 systems and it's a main reason of this meeting."
Christian took a breath and continued.
"I guess, there's a chance to end this chaotic movement, a murders in Zoner controlled space is last thing in what we are interested. Nonetheless, before to discuss a probable solution, I think it's a good way to share latest news between ourselves. We should be well informed about both cases before going in next step of discussion, so, please tell me, what are you thinking and how you are would react if things went again out of control, would you support a operation against aggressors?"
Christian looked at John and Duncan. For a moment Christian looked a bit harsh, but reaction was well explained in a light of passed events, which bring thousands of deaths.
"Please, do not worry. But we should be well prepared for a worst scenario. As we cannot say much about conflict ongoing in Omega-49, we can say alot of what happened in Omicron-74."
Chiristian face was filled with charity and he again started his speech.
"These, so called "Zoner Alliance". While they appeared in 74, they looked as saint cow and being nice. They ensure us their installations only will serve in purpose of defending our home from the Nomads, and we hadn't a true reason to do not believe them, since i cannot remember something like that what's going on now."
"To be honest, we hadn't any rights to pull out them with these bloody bases, since we've lost control over Omicron-74 awhile ago... I'm a bit digressed."
Christian paused for a bit, and sip some water.
"And conflicts raised. they started to engage random targets, some Order ships and then switched to us with no reason. I even cannot remember how many time we tried to stop them by diplomatic negotiations. Many recognize all of these conflicts as separate, but it's not true. The ZA are instigators of war and cannot be trusted anyhow, time shows."
Christian decide it's enough for a moment and switched to another conflict, before emotions will able to take over.
"As for bombardment of Gran Canaria. It's a horror. And hopefully no one from the side of Corsairs or SCRA will want to do hard for the planet again."
And finally Christian went to heart of the things, he stopped his speech for a moment.
"Gentlemen, these conflicts similar in one thing - we cannot protect ourselves."
Christian gave a signal to colleges it's end of his speech.
