The Catalyst.

[Chenzo-]

Chenzo's interest is peaked as Burton mentions a warship and technologies he's not had chance to study. A truly new venture, however this was not the focus at at hand.

He quickly re-focussed, and spoke.

Chenzo: "Well, to restore order with the freeports outside of our reach would be a stupid and costly venture. I was purely on about those you mentioned within our immediate vicinity. The rest, I'm sure will follow in time.

Let's not forget who the Corsairs are. They're good at surviving, however they're awful at many things we're extremely good at. They swell in numbers but not ability. Allowing them to extend to a size they have now, to expand as far as they have?

This is like lamb to the slaughter. They cannot hope to sustain themselves and at arm's length if a few of their supply lines are disrupted.

Harebero, as much as I, you do not like the words I speak, but surly you cannot but agree with my method of suggested action?"

He reaches inside his jacket. pulls a cigarette from a case and takes an appreciative toke

Chenzo: "A blind angry man pannic's and flails. We have the tools at our disposal, it won't take too much to pull this off. Or, shoot me down, come up with soemthing better using the same tools at our disposal?"

He sits back and relaxes awaiting Harabero's calculated thoughts to be vocalised.
