Council of the Corsair Elders

[worldstrider]

I already have.

My stances on the need for an effective unified mobile force for Junker defense, my stances on organizing Junker unity and emphasizing the threat of the Nomads and Wild, making a treaty with the Harvesters and even proposing the Congress have all brought repercussions from other Junkers.

But my actions have proved with hindsight to have been correct and now greater numbers of Junkers contact us each day for our support and aid.

The motto of my party is, "There is no easy way from the earth to the stars".

What would be easy would be to take the common road, to do nothing new and to ignore the future. I will not do that.

Having a Corsair adjudicate Yanagi when Outcasts may be present is no different than having Corsairs and Outcasts dock Yanagi at the same time. While you have questions of me, I have utmost faith in Adjudicator Green Hawk's ability as an administrator and diplomat as well as a commander.

We have had Junkers killed by angry Outcasts, impatient Corsairs and hot tempered Dragons...yet all are still docking our bases. We work things out. This is nothing new for us and the risk is ours. The simplicity of the matter is that if Adjudicator Green Hawk can't find the balance--which so far he has--he resigns or is removed.

You don't steer a motionless ship. It is the time to see if we can be more than our individual parts. Enjoy the benefits. You gain many in this relationship.
