Richard listened LaFlamme's monologue carefully to not skipping any important detail. After his speech that went rather long ended, Richard grabbed his tablet from the table it was sitting and opened a news video record that is almost 1 year old. Which was showing hordes of Core fighting with various parties such as Order, Corsairs and more importantly Zoners. As well as IMG, Crayter and Zoner ships carrying humanitarian aid packages dubbed D.R.O.P. Later it started to show tragedic moments of IMG transports and Crayter corvette getting shot by Core Battleships. Richard let some anger go out... and started to speak while the news reporter came along with IMG vessels interviewing with Crayter Captain, now a defector, Tobias Wayne in the video. "Honorless bastards...They killed many innocent traders and miners. People who were living at Freeport 11, people who tried to protect them. Many casualties happened. Many ships lost as well... Then we, as well as IMG, declared war on them. This day we still avenge our brothers and sisters. They cannot be trusted. They only stab you from your back and bring destruction with them to weaker ones." Richard stopped for a second, took a deep breath and closed the video record. He later opened a picture showing a base near Planet Curacao. "This is the Oceana Shipping Platform. A Modular Installation with Mark V Power Core which acts as HQ for Gateway Shipping. Why i am showing this base to you? Because Gateway Shipping is a valuable ally, not to mention they do not bring that much of 'House influcence' with them." Then he closed the tablet and while Oceana fading from screen he took some notes for next topic.
