You are right tenacity so i will not argue with you.
It seems as if some junkers fail to realize that a war would hurt the junkers as much as the outcasts if not more. Yes the outcasts would lose some income from cardamine but the junkers would lose it as well. Not many other cargo's carry as much profit and there are always indie's like me who will want to make a fast credit. Also the while the junkers do run many of the bases where cardamine is smuggled into think of our own people who are addicted, to deprive them would be to sentence them to a slow agonizing death. Not to mention that junker ships would become prime targets for pirating.
I think that the cooler and more intelligent heads in the Junkers Congress will prevail and this will be settled without the need for hostilities. I also believe the Congress could get the harvesters to honor a neutral zone around Yanagi without too much trouble. They may be able to repair themselves but they still need to buy bots batts and ammo from junker stations they operate near.
I am not sure what the diplomats are up to but i hope they get their heads out of a certain orifice before things get outta hand. so we can all get back to making money.
