The Catalyst.

Gabrielle was actually intrigued, for the first time since she arrived here..

"You're right about one thing and it's what I've been saying. Zoners running their Freeports is much better than the Corsairs at the helm. Business is business and you, or me, can't do business with Corsairs."

She took a deep breath, leaned back and continued:

" Thing is, what you are proposing is... quite hard to achieve. While I appreciate the Freeports for what they are, I cannot guarantee that I will be able to dispatch battlegroups to defend a Freeport if my own installations are under imminent threat. Furthermore, my authority is not infinite. Neither are my supply lines. There's quite a few Freeports that we simply don't have the resources to reach. Sure, we can help if the people threatening the Freeports in say Delta, Theta and the Omegas, are enemies of the Core. That's beneficial for both the Zoners and us, but more than that, nuh-uh. No can do. "

Gabrille wasn't done, though.

"In any case, I'm still on board with the whole "Freeport Liberation" thing and I will also take a look at the agreement you speak of, when it's done. Whether I sign it or not, is whole another story. "
