"Yes, I guess all of the houses are that way," answered Matok in agreement. "We Zoner types try living in peace with all people, away from house space but then, here they come, marching in and claiming the space they weren't interested in decades before. Then, another house comes in doing the same thing and before long, they are fighting over the space and dictating to us how we will live, who we will associate with and laying claim to the base we long ago built. First it was Kusari, now it is Gallia. At least Kusari has let us be. Gallia? They "expect" that we be all nice to them even though their patrols like shooting up my patrol ships."
He sips his drink and simply ends with a "No!"
He then grins, "thanks to some friends, this base is well protected. I only have two patrol ships but for now, things are quiet....or were until Gallia came knocking again."
