Frank sat there silently thinking about what everyone had said. He was not liking the direction it was all going. He realized that being the Chapter official of Bering Chapter really meant nothing, it was a title with no respect or power attached to it. They were all puppets to the whims and machinations of their "Fearless" leader. He spoke up again, this time he did not bother to stand, instead he kicked his feet up onto the table and leaned back in his chair, his tone of voice even and steady.
"Ya know.....I remember my first day wearing a "V". I got podded not more than 10 meters away from Ames station, in this very system, by a couple of Rouges that were out harassing Banshee...it was not even my fight, but I sucked plasma fire regardless.....anyways....long story short....No one went to war with the rouges or even put out a hit on the assaulting ships, over AFC getting manhandled RIGHT HERE IN THE KEPLER SYSTEM."
He took a drag off of his smoke and dropped his voice and tone down again to level and monotone.
"Then.....there was this time.....it is a funny Sunny story, where I was out escorting our Prez here, and instead of paying up 20Mios in credits to the RHA he gets a whole ship load of BMMs blown up, along with his ship.....man, that was a COSTLY FRACKIN MISCALCULATION. How is it that you made it out of that one Prez?......wait wait...I know...It was FRACKIN ME who pulled your ass out of that one."
"So, it is all good for you part-timers and pansyassed virgins to show up at Church once in a blue moon, and play like your opinion matters.....but it don´t. Remember that. Around here what Sunny wants, is what gets done....if it turns out good he takes the credit, if not....we all pay the price...in Lives and Blood. Going into some kind of open "war" over a dead end system is nothing but an Ego trip, for which some of you will pay for in the vacuum of space."
Gambit reaches over and tears the "Bering Chapter Official" patch off of his cut, and throws it on the table.
"I am stepping down as Bering Chapter Official, seems it don´t mean shizzel anyways. I am not going to be leading anyone into a senseless slaughter with nothing to gain from it."
