QCP to the COZ

[bluntpencil2001]

Surely if the majority of Corsairs that enter Bretonia enter via Cambridge, you would not be opposed to paying compensation to Bretonia for those Corsairs which enter via Omega 49? If this doesn't happen, as you claim, why not make such an offer? Why not ban Corsairs from using a jump hole which they apparently don't use anyway?

What have you got to lose here, sir?

As to this being for something for the Crown to discuss, I'm afraid that is irrelevant, they can discuss what they want, I can discuss what I want, unfortunately. They have nothing to do with QCP involvement in your space, but I do. And I want the Zoners to make a gesture of goodwill to a nation which I dearly love, and I would like it to be phrased in such a manner that they would be inclined to accept it.

Those that you have trouble with anyway, who enter Dublin via Omega 49, you shouldn't have any problem attempting to destroy them in order to maintain good relations with foreign powers, since you would be shooting them anyway, correct?

I thank you for the very minor concessions made on slavery, but would ask for a further tightening of said policy. Surely you should make every effort to prevent this going on, instead of saying that you don't condone it, but won't actively make an effort to stop it. I'm sure the slaves, victims every one, would not appreciate such inaction from apparently capable people in the face of such an evil. I would suggest that all confirmed slavers be ejected from the Council of Zoners, and slavers banned from your bases. After all, it is in no way neutral towards the victims of slavery if you allow their captors succour and safe harbour.

Yours,

Sir Andrew
