The Petition of the Shetland

[Neronian]

Mr. Dashwood was it? Frankly, rich snobs who think they know everything Annoy me... I'm not sure if your one of them, but your definitely coming off as one. I have done my homework for this mate, and now, let me show you how us "less educated" do it. First off, with the whole "quality of service" Thing, I once again reiterate the fact that I think going down to the surface just amplifies the entire situation. With our technology it is just as easy to view the planet with scopes. Hell, I think its beautiful just when I pass it in my Templar. And once again I'm well aware of the services it provides, but a floating resort doesn't need a planet to go with it. Otherwise why don't you just bloody build on the planet! Second, about the poaching and such. For the fourth time I will say I'm not accusing anyone on OSC or its affiliated companies of poaching, or of even allowing poaching, However, the fact that the Shetland is just there has made the act triple. And before you think I'm making this up I have the ledgers and criminal accounts and everything you need to prove it. You think big shots can get information.. Try the military. Another issue is how every time one of you talks its always using Gaia as some sort of "resort" or "financial asset" or what not. Its a bloody planet that you have the privilege of actually going onto. The least you could do is regulate it better. Now, i'll bring up an example, one day in Edinburgh, I was heading around to do normal patrols, and I saw a freighter heading down onto Gaia, now, I thought, "Hmm.. must be some trader who finally saved enough for a trip there", but as soon as I asked him why he didn't just take a OSC Tour shuttle, the response I got was a blur of "mind your own business", "I paid the damn man", and "he said I have confidentiality" And a mix of other, 'derogatory', things that made me want to space him.. For god's sakes.. If your going to have tours, it would make it that much easier for YOU and ME both to police this matter if you would just make them all take your ships. But that of course can't happen 'cause anyone with enough money with a yacht filled with people probably would find it "offensive" to cram into a shuttle. By the way, your stories are sort of conflicting.. Your CEO mentioned, along with another fellow of yours that you do not "sanction nor indulge" in this matter, now why all of a sudden are you policing it? "Actively stopping it" and "not dealing with it" are two separate matters. And on a final note, the Shetland actually attracts the poachers, because I don't think you fully realize the profit of selling of a genetically perfect feline, but its enough to pay for a "private" tour or whatever it is you call it. Well Mr. Dashwood, its been a pleasure chatting with you, do come again.

And as always, I await your rebuttle.
