"Bunch of part time drunks that can't even make it ten minutes into a meeting without a shot of something." Brad commented to no one in particular while pulling out his flask and taking a swing before raising his voice to address the room at large. "I believe based on the conversations had thus far that we are in a general agreement that docking restrictions are warranted. But the durations and encompassment still need to be debated." Brad gestured to the two communications on the wall. One from Liberty, the other from Pinnacle Outpost. "It is my belief that simply coming out and unliterally denying docking to all Liberty Government and Corporate Entities will undoubtedly draw a response from Liberty, one that will mark us as unlawfuls, ungrateful, and functionally speaking, would force us to abandon Bethlehem as the station is not self sustaining like other facilities such as Freeport 14. Tempered action is warranted. After all it was not Universal Shipping bringing the marines to the surface, it was the Navy. And while there are those of you who view someone transporting the bullets or blood used by the Navy as equally guilty. I cannot fault a corporation for viewing it bottom dollar as a priority. That being said." Brad paused for effect. "There is nothing to prevent us to setting a timeline for additional sanctions, to start by forcing Navy, Police, and LSF pilots off our stations, wait for a response, if any is sent. Then we could meet again at that time and discuss sanctioning those corporate entities who are fully supporting the Government. Allowing Pinnacle Outpost time to perhaps secure supplies from those very corporate entities. A gesture of goodwill which we would remember when it comes time to levy additional sanctions."
