Carlos eagerly listened to Montoya's proposal. He rarely saw eye-to-eye with the elder, but the occasions that he did where welcomed.
"Wise words, Montoya. I believe such a declaration should be made, although perhaps a little less hard-line. Let us not also forget the influence of the Jupiter Guild, a Zoner affiliated mercenary organisation who have supported us in the past, who have earned our respect many times on the battlefield. They are surely another group who will fight our corner in the Zoner council".
"Regarding the issue of shooting down Corsair ships who's captains display no honour or regard for Corsair beliefs and policy, I would like to propose a variation on the theme.
I propose that the council be given the right to requisition the assassination of captains who are deemed to be disonorable and a detriment to the nation ONLY AFTER that individual's actions have been discussed in this chamber, and ONLY AFTER a vote has been taken as to weather to have that individual assassinated, or clan disowned.
This, I believe, will prevent abuse of this statute.
Let us not forget that all persons whom are members of this council have earned it, and independent corsairs also have a voice here.
I would also like to make the point that this is not my submission of a vote, as this does not represent the opinion of my family, within which opinion is fiercely divided on the issue. "
