As to Valdemarian and his peccadillos.. anyone get any gun camera footage to share?
As to Port Canaria, au contraire, ma Chair! I'm sure you're aware that Alan Kell, and Spike and Kate Harris still reside up near the old Veranda, where they commune with their dolphins and tend what's left of the "Fields of Gold".
In fact, both the Crater.Lake and the Dolphin.Dreams are steaming that way as we "speak". Don't want the dolphins off their feed because of some noisy orbital fireworks.. no sahs and madmans.
And what bloody happened to the Jupiter Guild, eh? I thought they were squatting in 49, and planning to host the Annual Harvest Festival. Anyone seen them within a parsec of Canaria of late?
Doc.. tell ol' Matok to report to the Geode for a Pineal lavage. I'm the only two-legged TAZ who need worry about this political crap. Oh, and after your ordeal with Queenie and her bumboys, you could benefit from a week at the Spa too. Come throw balls to Fnordie with me, eh?

If Valdemarian is not a zoner (registered or not), Im with you Mal... that is not our problem.
Gran Canaria, one day we will use the force (its something that personally I dislike, best, hate). Two pirates in dragon gunboats come to our home to demand us taxes. The bretonians dont put pressure over us, they simply attack ours vessels if they are in Kusari. Wanderers redeploy to Gran Canaria the Talion Law, but ours uninvited guess leave Omega 49 and in New Berlin and Sigma 13 pirates destroy one transport and attack another.
You have my opinion, but I want to know more opinions about all relative to ours brothers and sisters.

Valdemarian, no, Matak and his crew aren't your boss but with all the negative chatter about Zoners in the houses, he was trying to prevent any more further bruising. He sees someone with a Zoner IFF in a gun fight and a bunch of others trying to get him to stop, of course he's going to say something.
And yes, Mal, I could use some down time to collect myself. In fact, I'm taking a few days on Canaria. I've heard that swimming with the dolphins is quite kool so I'll have to try it. The only "throwing" I'll be doin, however, is an ace to complete my royal flush, that and "throwing" down a shot of whiskey or blood wine.
I'll tell Matak to take a break but he and his crew are quite duty minded. He was outraged at the recent piracy events being reported. He finds pirates to be dishonorable."

Greetings Brothers and Sisters,
lately piracy activity is increasing in Sigma 13, we have docked at Naha Miner our Battleship Talion Law. It is there to protect all zoner vessels, if you have any problem or want escort please contact with any WDR member for it availability.
Only remember that it is a combat ship but not for fight, it is a deterrent weapon. We dont want fight only avoid that ours brothers and sisters will be taxed, attacked or destroyed by pirates.
Safe flight and clean skies to all.

Brother Mannock, I would strongly urge you to seek permission from our allies, the Gas Miners Guild, before deploying any large warships near one of their main facilities. The Sigmas are not technically within our "ZoI" as Zoners, and therefore we are "guests" there.
While I commend your desire to protect our brethren from pirate and terrorist threats, it would seem a simpler solution to avoid areas of extreme danger from criminal traffic. I know the TAZ does, and therefore avoids most of these unpleasantries.
And finally sir, using a Battlestar as a trading escort seems problematic at best, and a waste of resources. Not to mention that a trader would be halfway to his destination before the Tallion_Law was turned around and making headway.
Delegates, brothers and sisters, the TAZ have a minor scripture called "Appendix Gimmel". This scripture describes the five repeating stages of history, and cautions all Discordians that considering the Universe and history to be a static concept is an invitation to disaster.
I believe we are now in a transition period between two of the five stages; and, that most of these recent unpleasantires will settle down once the transition is complete. the "winds of change" may sometimes buffet our lives, but they are necessary to keep the Chao in relative wobble-free balance.
To those of you who have moved resources to Omega 49, I would suggest the Council give you its vote of thanks. If the pirate threat wafts away like so much nebula poopy gas, at least you will have the opportunity to sample some of Sophie's delicious pie!

Thanks for your advice, but before dock at Naha Commander Manuel Martinez requested the permission to dock there and the permission was granted. You know too, that the Wanderers dont stay much time in one place (best in a base than in a planet).
And for Commander Wes Janson we have cooks at the Talion Law from all Sirius and they will be very pleased to make you some pies.

Gran Canaria security fellow zoners is still part of the Jupiterguilds tasks, due to recent Information technology issues(read, someone smashed our primary Communication servers and dishes) all are ships where pretty much grounded with exception of some because old and working technology.
We hope to have every ship up and running again.
The Cruisers Volcanos and Tibertus are on guard at Gran Canaria and should be able to respond to most calls. The Juggernaught Komodo is currently in drydock, it got hit the most with the ICT issues.
Most gunboats and smaller vessels should be in the vicinity of Gran Canaria unless they where on Escort duty or with the detachement located at freeport 11 or freeport 9.
Expect us up and running again soon, in space defending our home planet
