"I fully understand why you'd be worried. We're not like most of the Zoners in Sirius. I mean, we're barely Zoners as is by definition. We're a much more organised military organisation, however, that doesn't change our roots and those roots, from what I know, are dear to you. If it means anything, we can offer and guarantee protection to you. We can assist were needed with manpower and logistics. But, what I cannot guarantee is that Zoner neutrality. I mostly blame my excessive moral compass."

Realistically, Velvet wouldn't be interested in doing anything other than leaving you to your work as well as extending our protection further, should it be needed. Beyond that, I would see Medforce Enterprises it's own separate entity."
