Meanwhile on Corinth, Omicron-74

[SigCorps]

Sam motioned to Sally to bring him some coffee and then leaned forward in his chair. Smiling at Doc and a slight shake of his head, he chuckled.

"Doc you have more to worry about then how your dressed. As for where we start? Well should we define what we are trying accomplish?" Sam looks around the table and then sits back in his chair.

"If I may, I believe we want to establish an alliance of our three factions. One entity that will handle our relations with other folks outside the Zoners. While we will remain separate in respect to our individual groups, together we will come to agreements on trade deals, treaties and relations with the rest of Sirius. Now this encompasses a great many things. There are many considerations on how we are going to handle things within the Zoners themselves. The Council and the SHIZL mainly. Details need to be laid out on how we are going to come to decisions, and define this new alliance's area of responsibility. Both physically and diplomatically."

"We all left the Council because of the different direction some of the more vocal independents wanted to go and the infighting that started because of them. Since the Council was voluntary it made enforcing policies very difficult. Not to mention the fact it took forever to actually come to a decision with all the input that was needed before and during a motion. I think in regards to the alliance, once a decision has been made, it is policy and non negotiable. While we will talk with and discuss issues with our folks I think the ultimate decision should be limited to us. I also believe that we should only include our folks to start with and at a later date include independents that are serious about actually participating. To many delegates in the Council sat back and let votes pass them by."

"So this Zoner Alliance will handle all things that affect our factions, but what area of Sirius are we going to say are our areas of influence. I know the TAZ own Baffin, so that one is easy. OSI's home base is Theta, but we do not own it, and ZTC operates out of Omicron-74. All three of our factions roam all over, so deciding where our agreements and policies come into affect needs to be defined. I think this should be our first Alliance decision."

Sam takes a drink of his coffee and waits to hear what Louisa and Doc.
