"The declaration was forced by Athena Kabrinski, I'v been up to my ankles in shit ever since trying to clean up her mess. So let me ask you, After this declaration, did we attack you? Sure you mention the wolfs and while yes Ghostbear naval forces were there, What did we do besides watch? Where were you when the Diamond sharks took over a space station we traded to the wolfs?"
Reaching into his pocket the Elected prince took out a can of Skoal, tapping it before taking a pinch to put in the corner of his mouth. Taking a moment to enjoy the sweet nicotine the mechwarrior looked at Benjamin emory,"where are my manners. Want some?" He asked holding out the can knowing full well no one would accept any.
"Your proposal is unacceptable because the Ghostbears and the Snow ravens have a constitutional right to be allowed to not only their clan heritage, but continued participation in the Grand council. Now is it illegal to be an asshole? no, its just concidered bad taste. As for our contributions to the grand council." The elected prince gave a smile that would have reminded a small school child of a Great white shark,"You really don't have to worry about that, The clans we chose to support seem to be falling out of the Clans, The scorpions come to mind. On the area of intelligence we really havnt given them much if anything. The spookers are controlled by Freja (dave you know how to spell her last name!) Who has no love for the clans who she blames for the death of the father of her child. Oh wait it wasn't the clans that killed him, it was you! speaking of which, did you know when you tried to assassinate all those khans you actually ended up fighting a Davion fox team?" his smile got wider,"Cameron kabrinski came so that he could personally tell Khan Diana pryde that she would recieve no units or support from clan ghostbear or the rasalhague dominion, for which not only was he kicked out of the conference, but after he nearly lost his life against your crazy cyborg ninjas. So please, WHO attacked who first again?"
" I have no qualms with taking up a position of neutrality, However you speak a good point about beligerant partys crossing our borders. I can only assume you mean yourselfs as well since your nation has used us as a freeway more than anyone has lately, However we also allowed the combine into dominion space to search for Steel vipers who had recently attacked them.
If i had it my way tho, All of you would stop using us as some space freeway."
"However"
The elected prince spit into a empty cup,"We will not concede to giving the position of our forces every sixty days, We have no plan of attacking the combine and are more than willing to share the information on our forces arrayed along their borders to help in a mutual defense of our shared border, Hell we share a world with them!"
"As for returning prisoners of war." The elected prince spit into the cup again, it was a nasty habit he enjoyed disgusting others with,"I have no qualms, These men have family that miss them."
"Like i said, I have no objections to peace, The only question is will you go about this in your usuall Terren hegemony way of demanding you get your way or you'll throw a tantrum, Or will you prove you really are the leaders of the starleague and work twords a peaceful resolution? Because I honestly have no interest in recreating history and getting killed like my father did after talks with the Terrans failed."
