Greetings Doctor John Holliday

I hope you and your family are in good health. I also hope that you liked the gift that my associate, Crimson Skies, delivered at your property. It was a small gift. nothing serious, that had no value for me and hope that you give the proper value to it.

John ... if i may call you John, i was away for some time, on a exploration mission outside Sirius, and i returned few days ago. As usually this is a mess! With more so call Zoners with claims that look more children claiming that their big toys are better than the others!. In other words, nothing changed.

There are two reasons for me to send this message, besides to greet you.

Yesterday one of my associate ship, one ZBT transport went to the Taus. After stopping at FP6, they decided to to take a route by the Baffin system, and for their surprise they were fired upon, by the weapons plattforms of a modular base that you, and when i mean you i mean the TAZ, built near the jumphole. Luckly the ship didn't suffered any major hull damage, and it is right now at Livadia for inspection. But let me tell you that i'm surprised with this! The TAZ have all the rights to protect Baffin mainly from some royal threat, but you could set those weapons to neutral to Zoners. John ... long time ago when the Corsairs bombed FP1 and mainly FP9, the TAZ and the OSI took some .. let's say neutral stand, but many Zoners considered that has a treason, and the same when the B Hunters with the hlp of the Corsairs attacked FP11. And since then both the TAZ and the OSI are not seen in .. let's say ... a good way! Even more after the TAZ and the OSI changed id cards, many say that you guys are no longer Zoners but TAZ or OSI. Now this .. let say denial of passing by of what, many called, the baffin highway, to Zoners ... i don't think that is a good idea. On Omicron 74, a group that call then selfs Zoner Alliance, built some weapons plattforms to protec from Nomad attacks... let me say a bit pointless because they still continue to pass, but at least we have to give then credit for the effort, set then as friendly to Zoners. Of course they don't own Omicron 74 likeyou own Baffin but ... it would be a good sign to all Zoners that they can continue to use the Baffin highway freely. I received a information that there is a Zoner meeting somewhere on Baffin ... so is a bit strange that a Zoner ship can't cross Baffin!

Now the main reason of this message. We have a member that is suffering from leukemia. Despite all advance medicine, all treatment are not working, and she needs the old fashion bone marrow transplant. But we can't find a compatible donor. We have her DNA map here and i ask if you can help us. The data i can give are ... (-searching paper-).. here it is.
Female
Age 42
Origin: Bretonian. Kusari grandfather and bretonian grandmother.

I'm not gonna bother anymore, take care

Best Regards

Kallisti,

I do apologize for the new installation at the 29 jumphole. It may be unpopular but considering the increase of piracy, some with our own tech and the Gallic threat, it was deemed necessary. I do not administrate the facility but since it is in Baffin, I do get final authority on it. For now though, it will remain. If you give me your ship information...and that of your counterparts, I will grant a free permit for it.

As to your crew member, bring her to Gran Canaria and Canaria Medical. She will get the best accommodations and treatment. We take care of the family as well. The scan will help me find a donor....I hope. Even with today's modern medicines and advances, compatible marrow donors are still hard to find. Any more family information would be helpful. Since my wife is Kusarian, I'll start with her and will check the many Bretonians still on Gran Canaria to escape the war.

Thank you,
Dr. John Henry Holliday

Greetings

I thank you your fast reply. I will arrange her transportation, but we have no more information about her pass! Even don't know where i was born, if it was on Omega 3 or 5 or even Theta! I only know that is was on Dromedary class ship!

About your station ... (small pause) ... Jonh i could give my ship and associates call name but ... secrecy is one of the keys to survive. Any time that any of my ships docks on any base or planet, it brings me all information that can gather even as insignificant has maybe. A small rumor can lead to a great intel. Mainly on bars! Alcohol is a good enemy to secrets. So i prefer, and please don't get me wrong, to order my associates to avoid Baffin.

I ill soon arrange transportation for Gran Canaria, and will inform you has soon she arives.

Best regards

Márius
