QCP to the COZ

[Doc Holliday]

Greetings Again, Mr. Hawkins,

I understand being stretched. We are both busy men. My apologies for my delay as well.

I will address the NFZ laws first. Obviously, we have them in place for the safety of all. If we relax them for one group then we must for all. That would compromise safety for all personnel. We have been however, re-writing some of those policies. They will be minor but we do hope they will be a bit more palatable. It will take some time but we are doing so.

You ask what the Council has that it can offer. If you don't wish to land on our ports, that is your prerogative. I will say this, when there is no other place to land in hostile ground, it is nice to know there is one safe haven around. As it is, we supply the government you so love with iridium to Southborough Station in Newcastle. Mind you, we are the sole suppliers of this product. We also supply deuterium to locations in Bretonia. Now, we can increase these shipments. But, if we are going to have to look over our backs everywhere we fly because someone is shooting up our transports, we will have to cease these shipments. I have been to Southborough and without iridium, they would have to shut down and cause unemployment OR make a lower quality ship hull. Something to think about.
If you are like so many others, I guess you just want to open our wallets for us and take what you see fit. It seems to be the norm.

One other thing on the Corsair farmers. Not one Corsair transport has left for Crete from our planet. I think I have well pointed out that they are people who left Crete for a peaceful existence and many have abandoned their heritage for this. They farm for themselves. Note that many Zoners refuse to run food anymore into the Omegas as they are often taxed at 50% and their cargo taken. If you want to target their suppliers, I would suggest the QCP do what they have done well in the past, visit Kusari. The supplies are coming from their and NOT on Zoner ships.
Unlike Port Jackson, they live on Zoner land and under Zoner law. Port Jackson, as stated by the lease, is Bretonian land for 10 years and they have their own code of law having not wanted to live under our own. If they leave the Port, then they do fall under our jurisdiction. Those farmers are happy in their existence and don't seem to mind keeping their feet on Canarian soil.
And if we're guilty of harboring Corsairs then so is the Liberty government. On Planet Manhattan is a restaurant named "The Pampered Glutton." Why the name I don't know. It is run by some former Corsairs who decided to change their ways and lead a peaceful existence. I didn't believe it until I went to it but the food was rather good. So as you can see, there are many who seek that peaceful existence in many different ways.

A report crosses Doc's desk as he is working. He reads it and gets visibly angry. He then looks up in disgust

Mr. Hawkins, what is this? Just what the hell is this? Your leader, Mr. Andrew Stuart, making threats against Zoners while you and I try working in good faith? Hands Mr. Hawkins some photos

That was a new ship being re-located to Omega 49 under permission from the Bretonian government. We do that periodically you know. I would really like an explanation.

Yours in Eris,
Dr. John Henry Holliday
