Melissa sighs and facepalms, obviously bored of this now.

"First off, I will correct you on your lies. The agreement was to stay out of the 10k radius of the station, the No Fire Zone, which you brought capital vessels to. If you're going to say that this is your "meaningful" conversation, the first thing you should not do is lie.

We don't recognise Maltese law, as you know. Zoners reject the 'Houses' that oppress their people. So no, we will never formally recognise your claim to a system. We recognise Maltese space as actual places you have a significant presence, but even then, space is free. Again, you're short sightedness fails you again.

Your ego, is one of the reasons this blew out of proportion. To think, this was because one of your subhuman pets couldn't obey the rules when under our rules. So, he got what was deserved. Just to think... All this could have been avoided by you being the bigger man, and holding your hands up to your people's mistakes.

Also, be careful, we aren't just Zoners. We're an organisation, that works on the safety and security of the Zoner people, because they do not want imbeciles like yourself running amuck and telling them what they can and cannot do. We reject the houses, and your attempt at building one only cements the reason of why we rejected them.

You speak of finances and manpower... You forget, mate. You are enemies of 2 of the major houses. Kusari and Liberty are all but looking for a reason to wipe your genetically inferior bodies from the universe. How's that reproduction rate going? I hear cardamine plays havocs with it. You know nothing of our firepower, man power, our capabilities. As stated, we aren't just Zoners. We are the ones who seek to stop power hungry oppressive regimes such as the one you represent. Either way, let me just clarify, along with our allies, we are beating the nomads. Keep your delusions on who we are, I prefer to live in the real world.

As you said, you won't meddle with what we're doing in the Omicrons, my best bet, and make this our final time speaking. We won't be bound by your rules, your will and lust for power. You think you're someone important because you have some idea of a vision of what the Maltese should be. So does the mind of the hundreds of warlords out there who have their own opinions.

If you see us, treat us as ships passing in the night, nothing more, nothing less. It will save you a lot of Maltese lives."


Melissa bows her head as she chuckles and switches off the transmission.
