The Theta summit

[Omicron Supply Industries]

Celcius once again kept to herself as the treaty was getting signed, whilst Doc and Voncloud had their more heated words about the situation. She had been taking notes, heeding the words of all those who had spoken before her. She couldn't help but mentally shake her head as hotter minds were allowed to prevail. After a few more notes as well as waiting for Doc She cleared her throat choosing to remain sat.

"Gentlemen. Though I understand the feeling of inevitability with this Signing, it does Surprise me that I need to remind Mr Holiday and Mr Voncloud that the Corsair Empire has long considered Theta part of their protectorate. If I remember my history correctly there was a similar treaty in place to the one we are being asked to sign today"

She puts her hands together leaning forward and resting her chin on the bridge of fingers.

"The way i see it, we are just refreshing an age old agreement between Zoner's and Corsairs in order to reset the Status Quo. Yes there are revisions such as having a joint operation of Freeport 9 and No docking of outcasts in Theta, but outside of that how is this Treaty any different to what we had before this conflict began?"

Celcius leans back in her chair resting her hands on her lap

"I also seem to need to remind you that this isn't the first time there has been conflict between our peoples but that we have also had conflicts with the Core and the Order at different times. The Corsair's have been our allies as well as our enemies in various conflicts. Freeport 11 is a Prime Example of how the sides have changed many times"

She sits straight taking her tablet

"You maybe right that there is no real alternative to signing. But what you have to realise is, we are signing this as a sign of Good Faith. IM signing this with Faith that the Corsair's will keep their word. Is it a Risk? Absolutely it is. But that is part and partial of the life we try to live as Zoner's. And sometimes-"

Celcius signs her name onto the treaty with a flourish

"-You have to get along, to go along"
