Gentle pondered his amigos words about the independant named Tok-ra. Gentle had observed this hermano in space and had noticed he had been a well heeled and considerate corsair when defending Crete. Gentle was aware that those without the guidance of the elders often made rash and foolish decisions in the heat of the moment.
"Hermanos please allow me to investigate this situation and I will deal with the IMG and give an explanation to them on why this situation has occured. I have been working with improving OPG relations with IMG recently. Perhaps I can shed some light on the situation and understand what the IMG's intentions toward us are"
"Asno thankyou for bringing this to the attention of the elders. I would remind you however that you are not yet a member of the council of elders. Dont make me keel haul your maingy ass for intruding here today. Im certain it was a forsight only."
Gentle grinned to see the shocked and then relevied face of his close friend Asno.
"Have a whisky when you leave amigo"
gentle offered one of the bottles to Asno as he headed for the door. Asno sheepishly took the bottle and departed with an embarrassed look on his face.
"Ok senors to the matter of the harvesters. I have had numerous dealing with the being known as FIrst Thought Giver of Will. Over the last few weeks we have been supplied several times by the harvester units with shipments of weapons that they have 'acquired' during the course of their activities. No poayment has been expected or asked for. I beleive their intentions toward us to be driven by the need for survival and they see us as instrumental in their plans to develop in sirius. I have no doubt that the combined forces of the corsairs should we wish it could crush the harvester fleets and annihilate theor home worlds however to do such a thing when we have greater enemies at our gate seems ridiculous. Not once in my life has an AW offered anyone in the OPG anything other than derision and abuse. These trifling issues of diplomacy grind on me hermanos. OPG will continue to give shelter to harvesters in Omegas but we will not take any action to assist them or the zoners against one another. That is their fight senors not ours. Gladly will OPG stand by any ally that can aide us in our fights against the hessians, outcasts and BHG. To this end OPG pledges support to harvester units engaging any of these enemies. I hope that lucendez can bring us the thoughts of the council of zoners soon so that we can arrive at a universal decision on this soon. It is my suggestion that we remain neutral to both parties should they decide to engage one another. The business they have is their own and their wars are to be fought for their own ends. Should our needs with either party be harmonised against a common enemy then surely we would assist them."
Gentle drained a half bottle of sirius 60 and decided to have a sleep by the fire.
