Discussion With The Core

[Doc Holliday]

It was colder than Doc thought. For now, though, he was OK. He figured he would stick it out. He just looked around as he walked, appreciating the focus of the crew on their work. He wasn't sure what to make of his escort at first in part because he knew so little about the Core.

"Greetings mister Holiday."
"Greetings, Sir...." he replied only to be stopped as the man's mask opened. He wasn't used to seeing full armor such as he was or blue hair.
"It's an honor to meet you, Mr. Frost," he finally answered and shook his hand, "Dr. John Holliday."
"I'm not at all offended that the Guildmistress was unable to attend," he said kindly, "I'm sure she's busy and has obviously placed her faith in you to talk with me. Please do pass along my gratitude and understanding later."

""Now, what matters do you wish to discuss with the Core? In the communication you mentioned passage through our space, is that correct?"
He thought a moment as he put his words together carefully. "That is correct, Mr. Frost. For the longest time, Med Force Enterprises has long worked in space all over Sirius promoting the health, help and welfare of all peoples of Sirius. We have long researched the Nomads as well. Not for their technology but for them, the Nomads themselves. That's more of a personal endeavor of mine than anything else."
"Med Force Three, under the command of Commander Alicia Cook, has been assigned to work in the Omegas and Omicrons," he continued, "providing medical help to all under the banner of neutrality and Med Force Enterprises. The crew of the ship has done this admirably to this point and wishes to continue doing so. Yes, there are Nomad samples on the ship, a cruiser, but they are for research and nothing else. As I said, we aren't interested in the technology as quite frankly, that is beyond our knowledge and scope. We are scientist, researchers and medical staff, not really technicians."

"So yes, I seek safe passage through all of the Omicrons and Omegas," he continued, "Delta included. I know what happened here to a point. I don't know the details and I probably don't need to know. It just disappoints me that all of us who practice the Zoner way have been painted by one, broad stroke based on the actions of others."
He held back some anger but was visibly somber, "I lost some medical staff on Freeport 11 over a year ago during the initial assault. I was angry but recently, the parents of the young lady who was killed told me to let it go, that she went there of her own free will and volition.....which brings me here."

He paused before continuing, "As I said, I seek safe passage and the ability to work in these parts. I have little to offer for compensation, only that even the Core will be given treatment as needed. And while I'm not here to represent Zoners as a whole, if my efforts begin the peace process between them and the Core, then I'll consider that as a plus."
He sat back, having said all he needed to, at least, for the moment.
