Message reads:

Mr. Harrison,

Sorry to do this too you but Mr. Holiday is required somewhere else and does not have the time to dedicate to this issue. I do, so lets begin.

While we do allow anyone to make use of our facilities, we do have some strict rules on under what circumstances. Shortly these rules and laws will be published for all to see, we are doing the final tweaking now. We do not allow anyone to use our base as a launching point for an assault. If we find evidence of that those individuals will be banned form that station and if the violation is extremely bad then all of our stations and we will send the ZRT after them.
You have a claim that the Liberty Rogues and Xenos are stationed at our bases, Freeport 2 and Ames research station. Since you have brought this too our attentions we have had the situation monitored at both sites and have seen no evidence that this is so. I actually am wondering why the LR would use our stations when they have a plethora of their own within Liberty, as do the Xenos. They have little to no need to do so.
As for sending you the coordinates of their bases that would be against our nature, as I am sure you would not like us to send anyone the coordinates of any of the Liberty Naval bases. We Zoners walk a fine line. If we make exceptions for one group we end up making them for all.
For us to enforce our regulations on any of the we need proof that these folks are staging out of our Freeports. We can not approach individuals with just a say so. We need hard proof. Otherwise it becomes a he said, she said situation.

Reading over your previous correspondence with Mr. Holiday I want to go over what you ask us to do

-The shift of the responsibility from the Zoners to the forces of Liberty to punish violent criminals proactively within Zoner no-fire zones, instead of relying on the unreliable and insufficient on-site presence by members of the Zoners to stop violent criminals fleeing and abusing your facilities.
-This would also cover the punishment of groups or individuals using Zoner stations in Liberty patrolled territory as bases for attacks on the forces of Liberty or the citizens within.
-The no-fire zones affected would be those around Freeport 2 in Bering and Ames Research Station in Kepler.

Your willing to offer

-Relaxation of the embargo law, specifically for Zoner ships.
-Easier access to the system of Pennsylvania for Zoner ships, including warships which are not currently permitted.
-A measure of restraint by Liberty lawful forces and direct consultation with the Council of Zoners when Zoner vessels are found to be committing illegal activities within the borders of Liberty.

What your are asking for endangers our neutrality. What you offer, well is a bit lacking to do so. Relaxing the embargo would be beneficial to Zoners. Moving warships more freely would also be nice. As for the third part, we ask for no special consideration for Zoners that have broken house laws. They are adults and can take the repercussions for their actions.

As of right now you ask for us to violate one of out most core beliefs for very little. But this is just the beginning of negotiations, maybe we can come to a compromise that will satisfy both of us.

Sincerely
Samuel Nichols
CEO - OSI
Council of Zoner representative
Member of the SHIZL
