Gambit stood up. Visibly annoyed. He took a second to measure his words.
"I personally do not see this whole situation as a loss to the club. It is more of an opportunity. Bering is a dead end system with little or no connectivity and hardly any good routes to make credits off of. You want to take what has transpired as an insult? Then you should have been insulted months ago, instead of getting all wadded up in the panties about it now."
"Some off you may be looking at me and asking.....How did you let this happen Gambit?" He took a drag off of his cigarette. "You fellows aught to try taking on a separatist capital ship in snub and see how that works out for ya. One on one, we could have probably handled the situation better...maybe held our own, and even got some good licks in...but when you got at least 4 groups lining themselves up against ya, the decision is between stupidity and profitable survival. Personally I choose profitable survival."
"With that said......We should be about business and racing. Getting into a turf war over a dead end system with a low profit margin is not the smart play. We should be trying to make credits off of other peoples wars and not get bogged down into some pissing contest with an alliance of Protards that clearly out gun us."
"Do they deserve some payback?.....sure they do. But we do it smart....we take our time, we apply pressure through third parties and gather intel and then when we do make a move, we make sure the damage we do is enough to make them think twice about ever frackin with the club again."
"In the mean time, I have moved my credit making operations out to the New London system. And this seems like as good a time as any to make the following suggestion to the club and push it for a vote. I propose we move the Bering Chapter AFC out to Brettonia and take advantage of the war with the Frogs to earn some good credits as well as get on the good side of the Brets and Libs."
He stood there and looked around the room, waiting for someone to second his proposal and push it for a vote.
