Senor Mannock,

We are Zoners, no early Christians, if they hit us on the cheek, we do not put the other. We take steps, in this case remove the docking rights for the attack on FP11.

But it seems it was expected of us?
We sat watching the enemies fleets assemble before us at the Freeport, unchallenged for generations.
The final straw and we take action.
No senor, we have been struck across the cheek and kicked in the cahoonas and taken it for the sake of good relations with our neighbours. Your diplomatic position is untenable which brings me on to your second point.

I'm amazed with my brothers who speak from Yukon, instead of helping their brothers do with those who attack us. If I want war I never would have joined the Zoners...

Are you amazed...really?
They understand what being a good neighbour is. They understand...how you gringo's say...how to 'get along'.
If you don't want war, then making decisions based on spurious logic is a sure fire way to be disappointed.
Based on appearances (and they may be decieving, I accept that), the people of Port 9 seem to be doing everything in their power to promote it, despite the repeated denials.

I would wish you luck senor, but it's a favor I think I can ill afford now.

Chico Benitez
