Primarily to Mr Pushkin.

Throwing the Corsairs off your station makes perfect sense when they are engaged in war against you. Throwing them off after hostilities have dropped down is... Well, I don't understand it. Simply allowing the situation to level off and fade away would have done Omicron Theta a world of good. Banning the Corsair organised militias from accessing your station is as good as declaring war. What means relatively little to you can mean a lot to the people it's aimed at.

Before your announcement, the Corsairs were still beating their chests and making a lot of noise, but from what I saw, very little of essence was actually happening. Save Sheperdi's ominous mutterings, the Elders had remained silent. This is a matter of timing. What would have once been right is now merely misplaced pride and stubbornness. Lets hope those characteristics haven't cost the Zoners of '9 anything more than some credits and time.
