incoming message from freeport 11

"as a zoner in zoner space i must feel afronted to see what you called a task force of 4 gunboats and one battlecruiser being IN THE WAY of the docking path for our ILS automatic docking system. the liner announced the battlecruiser to move away, but it did not, upon entering the docking phase, ramming became inevitable.

it is good to hear that the brotherhood takes a good distance to those individuals, cause they were apparently besieging zoner installations. i made my intentions and my ID clear, and the individuals knew perfectly well that they had no right to blockade corfu, which is a civilian yard, for whatever reason.

i had well over 2500 people on board, and the sight of a corsair army outside their place of destination was terrifying them. however, in the end no harm was done, at least no serious harm. the shipyard at crete fixed my ship, but customers are scared now on their way to corfu, and i will prolly do some runs of raw materials before i take passengers to corfu again.

as a word of caution, repuation is priceless in a world as fragile as ours. we zoners, at least my family at delta, its hard to spaek for all zoners or rather impossible, - trusts the corsairs. not only are they important tradepartners for me but also - and that is most important .. neighbours. i can t afford to have trouble with the corsairs, since the Yaren depot is only a few clicks away from freeport 11, which is my home.

as you might have seen, i would not initiate any military steps or even retrubution. violence is no way to go there. and while i myself cares more for delta and the zoners, i know for sure that the asgard warriors might not be that forgiving when they get to know of something like that first hand.

as for now, the case is settled to - i do hope - everyones utmost satisfaction. and i m looking foreward to more profitable times with the corsairs.

PS.: the zoners are not a military faction, so if you venture into zoner space, you must expect a rather colloquial tone in communication channels.

PpS.: when the gunboats shot at the liner, it was filled up to the top with weapons destined for crete. i would not have expected the elders to be pleased to hear that their own shipment of weapons was blown up by bretheren"
