The DHC thing could become funny, if some of the RM biggies start to try and stomp around in theta... Gives them lonely OC Zeppelins something interesting to shoot at.
I still feel that Omicroners are failing to create a neutral stance, but are strongly biased towards Order, to the point of an open alliance. All nice and dandy, but consider where you are, with Corsairs, Outcast, and BHG (and of course Order) all at your doorstep... An open alliance with enemies of either of these factions is just going to create headaches and battle for you. I think Freeport 5 has the right idea in banishing all non-snub/non-transport vessels from docking there, but otherwise rolling out the red carpet to anyone. That kind of neutrality, with equal rules for all, is the kind that Zoners traditionally survived, and thrived on.
The Jinkusu was a misstake. Zoners are not a warring people.
Wide awake in a world that sleeps, enduring thoughts, enduring scenes. The knowledge of what is yet to come.
From a time when all seems lost, from a dead man to a world, without restraint, unafraid and free.
