For Immediate release to Sector-wide Media:

[Malaclypse 666]

Temple of Eris Esoteric
(Temporary Autonomous Zoners)
Pueblo Bonito, Baffin

Effective immediately, the emergency lockdown of Baffin system to all vessels is lifted.

Episkopos Prime of the TAZ, Malaclypse 666, has issued the following comments:

"Apparently the educational instititutions of Sirius leave something to be desired. People have no idea how to spell "lockdown", let alone abide by it.

"With reduced tensions in Omega 49, and an invitation from [WDR] to SCRA to sit down and palaver, the TAZ feel reasonably confident that Baffin will escape further repercussions from the recent unfortunate events at Gran Canaria.

"The Bafflin' Pentabarf will still be rigidly enforced. Break it at the risk of your immortal Pineal."

*bounceback reply thingie*

Ahoy hoy! Heard some grim news that the WDR shucked when they shoulda jived, or just sat still and shaddap, whilst chatting it up with the Penguins. Long story short, word has it they've moved hostilities from lukewarm to 'my children's children will bathe in your blood'.

Is that going to have any effect on the status of things?

IND Rhyme out.

Dear "Confused in Calumny"

Nope.

It's just one small virwir-rung on the big ladder of evolution.

Watch your step, though..

..that particular rung may have been discreetly sawed through.
