Consensus of the CoF - Core-Zoner Peace Negotiations Statements | Public access

[Doc Holliday]

Good Day, Administrators.

I see that I have received an invite. For awhile now, Med Force Enterprises, namely, [MFE]Med Force Three under the command of Alicia Cook has been operating in relative peaceful co-existence with the Core. It was I who reached out to the Core leadership to reach a peaceful arrangement. To this point, it has worked. Trust me when I say that it took a lot for me to do that as I had to inform the families of two of my finest medical professionals who were working aboard Freeport 11 of the deaths of their son and daughter. Yes, I was angry and vowed never to deal with them but when I saw for myself Freeport 11 still hanging on but barely so, I can't bear the thought of losing more lives, including the two new doctors that have volunteered to work on station despite the dangers. They came to me, I did not ask. It was that act, that selfless offer they made that made me re-think my stance. I once read of adversity, "One can either let it build them up or bring them down." I choose the first.

An old friend of the Corsair Empire now long gone, Elder Miguel Sephardi long ago taught me in negotiations that at first, both sides will ask a lot knowing that they won't get everything they seek.
Mr. Brettonias, we go back a long way and you know of what I speak. Ultimately, it isn't the position of the Core as to who stays in power aboard Freeport 11. Yes, others have offered negotiations with past Guildmasters only to be met with force. This new guild mistress is new and perhaps sees that this assault of Freeport 11 gains them nothing. They have bigger problems then Zoners.

She speaks of terrorists and cleaning the halls of Freeport 11 of them. Now, I don't know all the details as to how this whole thing started but I read somewhere that it had to do with a couple of rogue Zoner Nephilims. I would need more on that but it's all I have to go on. I do agree though, no one is to "cleanse" Freeport 11 but the current administrator. As I am not a member of the CoF, I cannot nor will I dictate policy.

I go back to the lessons of Miguel Sephardi. The Core asks much. They know that they won't get all they ask for but no one will know for sure what the end result will be if Zoners don't try. Remember, Zoners are strongest when working together. I say that the CoF gives this process a chance. Med Force Enterprises, if desired, will participate. I will speak with Commander Cook to see if she might be interested in representing. I know she's not much for politics or diplomacy so if she won't, I'll see if I can make it myself. I swore never to wear the robes of diplomacy again but a good doctor can save lives with skills outside of medicine.

I will be awaiting a response.
Dr. John Henry Holliday
CEO, Med Force Enterprises
