"Sorry to bother you, Councilmen and women, but I happen to have a problem with a specific Zoner - one John Bess. This individual decided to barge into a diplomatic conference between Order and Liberty ambassadors, and attempted to tell us that we were not welcome on the station, and that we were not welcome because we happened to not be wearing pinneal amulets... strange concept, I thought only the TAZ wore those..."

"Regardless, I spoke to Mr. Bess in private, informing him that, as always, Freeports were neutral ground open to any who respected Zoner laws. Now, only moments before mooring our ships in order to undertake this diplomatic conference, both Order and Liberty naval craft worked in unison to repel a Nomad assault on Freeport 11. I would like to think that, allegiance aside, that alone would earn us the right to use one room for a matter of hours."

"Mr. Bess' response was, in short, that my ship - an Order vessel - along with the Liberty Admiral's vessel, were now "banned" from Freeport 11. To use his exact words 'Freeport 11 is now closed to both of you'. Now, those may just be the words of a powerless, ranting lunatic, but it disturbs me that any one Zoner would dare to claim any vessels banned from the station. I was under the impression that such an action could only be taken by the Council itself."

"Further, that any Zoner would attempt to deny access to Freeports to a group which is considered one of their closest allies (that being The Order), is outrageous, to say the least. Now I have been informed by Marvin of the Zoner Federation that this individual... John Bess... is part of the group known as the Zoner Consortium. All I ask is that this matter is looked into if time permits, I dont particularly like having delicate peace talks disrupted by lunatics."

"For reference, the conference room recorders have his actions on file, located here"
