To paraphrase
"Let us have a corvo!"
"No, you'll screw up our neutrality"
"Well... The outcasts can give me corvos" (¿Logic)
"Hmmm. Let's tell the GRN that the VR are trying to source a Corvo and we had nothing to do with it if they end up with one"
"OMG MUST DELETE ALL ZONER SHIPS!"
At least that's what it seems a bit like
"Give me a ship"
"lolno"
"We'll take away your ships then lol suck it HashtagYouOnlyLiveOnceSwagger"
