Discussion With The Core

[Doc Holliday]

Doc's humanitarian side zeroed in on Frost's clearing throat. It was obvious that he had a heart. "Mr. Frost, you need not excuse yourself. We have both suffered loss and we would be less than human if we didn't have a soft side for it," Doc explained, "I don't know how many times you have had to tell a family on the death of a loved one but I've made a steady diet of doing it." He nodded softly, "I never enjoy it."

He looked over the proposed terms. They didn't look unreasonable.
"I've yet to go to Omicron Rho," he stated. "I don't know if any of my ships have to be honest due to a lack of need but thank you for the passage. It may come in helpful. Your facilities will be place off limits according to your conditions as well unless of course, help is requested or as you offered, running from hostile fire."

He then watched the video.
He was troubled about the Order. While his recent meeting with Golanski was largely positive, he was a difficult man to deal with in the past.
"Amazing," Doc stated, "I was in Delta not long ago, having left Freeport 11 with a load of Pilgrims bound for Baffin when I was threatened destruction by a Core ship, hence why I contacted you. Two Core vessels arrived as did a couple of Nomads. While no shots were fired, at least, not while I was around, the Nomads made reference to both the Core and the Order fighting each other and not realizing who the real enemy was. I thought little of it at the time."

"People can be grossly mislead. They follow orders that aren't lawful or just do things that are immoral." He sighed in a degree of shame, "I've had to do it a time or two myself. I'm not proud of it but I had little choice. You won't like this but while I generally don't give aid to ships, I swore an Oath to treat all people equally."
He then asked to see the video again. "May I have a copy of that? I may have some good use for that."
