I have flown with both pirates and lawfuls of Liberty. I admire your passion to bring to peace to your part of space and it is a vision at least forseen once by all men. We are defined by how long we hold onto that vision, and you Commander seem to hold it deerely. Even I held it for some time as a possibility, but it is in our nature. Hatred spawns from hate in such wars as these. Unforgiven and unforgiving offences have taken place on both sides and none have the heart or capability to overlook their own matters at hand. It is only because your time is coming Commander that you find yourself in a position to speak of peace, little occupies and concerns you in terms of matters of warfare of the present day. It has not dissapeared but has simply faded in terms of severity in your mind. I am not here to point the finger or shame anyone, but I know this. The Liberty have endured and have not forgiven the unjust piracy and crime inflicted by the Rogues, Xenos and Junkers; and The Liberty 'Criminals' have not forgiven the demise of their wingmen. Nobody can remeber how or who started it in the first place, but each side has a gruesome portrait of the other pasted on their propaganda. The laws and rules that both sides institute cannot be mixed to produce a stable community. It is because you are so different that you cannot co-exist peacefully. Take away that hate and a possibility of peace may arise, but this is a puzzle I leave to you to solve.

Sincerely
X
