Location: Freeport 9

What saddens me above all things is that so many of our fellow bretheren have turned their backs and called the people of Freeport 9 "fools" not behind closed doors, but while the whole world watched. Meanwhile, Corsairs, whose Black Sails dragged them into one mess after another, stand side by side and are ready to kill every Zoner that dares to grow a backbone. Let us review history.

We paid our taxes.
We supplied goods.
We minded our own damn business.
We let Corsairs colonize Gran Canaria.
We gave a foot for every inch that Corsairs asked for.

And what did we get in return?

We got shot at because our Freeport was out of food for 3 days and our transports were scared to enter Gamma for fear of Anarchist raiders. I am asking for all of our Zoner brothers to give Freeport 9 support in these hard times because our people tried everything short of surrendering the base to the Corsair war machine.

We let OSI do peace talks with the Elders. We passed a policy to ban anyone from using our stations as bases of operation. We delivered food to Crete WHILE they continued to shoot our people.

How many times are we going to bend our asses to the warmongering hordes? How much longer?

Freeport 9, 15 and 11 got bombarded by squads of Corsair vessels. THESE VESSELS got banned for repeated violation of No-Fire Zones and for murdering our women and children. When someone walks into your house and shoots your wife, do you answer "my door is always open to you sir, let's do business."

What happens when Corsairs shoot BAF?
What happens when Unioners kill Liberty Navy officers?
What happens when anyone shoots anyone over, and over, and over again?

Perhaps we shall also forgive the Nomads for Freeport 7??

I am pleading for all Zoner bretheren to stand back to back against the absurd situation in which the people of the Omicrons have been placed in. We did everything we could and when we could degrade ourselves no more, we banned guilty parties from our Freeport. Just like when we banned QCP for killing our people in Omega-49. This is nothing new. All that people of Freeport 9 ask for is to stand together.

Will you answer our call?
