Greetings popes
Aye. Luckily everything is fine for us aswell. The Putri has arrived with 2300other samsarians to the Hook, and the conferencier of the Voivods, called: SalviaDivinorum is ready and resting in Leeds to wait for a few remainin' grandpas.
Our explorer , called ChildrenOfSamsara is still not ready for duty, but atleast its hull had been constructed already. It still misses the engines, the armors and most of the controlling mechanisms, but in less than a week it will be ready and shiny, and will start its journey with 3000 samsarians on its board.
Some of the fathers of the familes have decided to purchase another conferancier, since the grandpas and voivods are willing to use the SalviaDivinorum. regurarly, so a second conf. boat will be purchased by our envy family elders. We will inform you when it is operational and ready for duty.
We are also working on collecting a huge pile of hotdog-buns, and will make a huge hot-fest when all of our rajko's will eat ritually for the joy of Eris.
PLUS we are offering 5*23 children voluntier under the age of 11, to participate temple duties(clear the mess after the acolytes) and to learn the philosophy of Discordia 24/7.
I hope all other tazmonger ships are ready and that everyone was able to store 'eir machines in safe hangars before the approach of the sturm.
yours faithfully: The Sukars of the Samsarians

Mal, it would seem that my personal flag has not been produced yet. It's been ordered but not received.
I did make a trip to Marne earlier with iridium and made an inspection of our Embassy. All is good and the Council has been most impressed with our deliveries.
*reads of hot dog buns*
A hot dog. Now there is something I have not eaten in a long, long time. I'll take two with ketchup and mustard, Samsarians.
...Comm ID: Charlie Koskinen, aboard Precious Mao...
...Transmit to: FnordNet and all those who care to read it... -><-VIDEO FEED-><-
The video begins. A rubberized floor and two pairs of feet are visible.
"Ah! There we go. Never had a ship like this one before. Fancy built-in camera an' everything! Speaking o' which, Ted, would you fix that thing? Can't see the..."
One pair of feet walks toward the camera, which is lifted and readjusted. Charlie and several other crew members are now visible, on the deck of transport ship.
"Yeah, that's better. Now! Just calling in to give you guys a run-down on how things are going with me. So I got m'self a ship, like I said, and a mighty good one at that! At first I had my eyes on the BWT, but I was on my way through Coronado and happened to stop of at the Barrier Gate. Some guy was practically giving this thing away! Can you imagine? One brand-new Firefly on the market for a fraction of the price!"
Charlie bangs a nearby console twice for emphasis. Somewhere else on the ship, a loud "crack" is heard, followed by a series of metallic "clunks."
"Uh... huh. Well, I'm sure it's unrelated. Steph, go check that out, would ya? Make sure it isn't another one o' those damn birds."
Charlie turns back to the camera.
"Yeah, that's right, birds. I duuno what the previous owner was doin' with them, but when we first came aboard, we musta' found half a dozen peacocks stowed away in the cargo bay! One of the weirder things I seen in my time, I gotta say. I mean, not that the birds look especially weird or nuthin', but I mean... peacocks? Really? What the hell, man?"
Charlie shakes his head and looks down, muttering something inaudible. After a second or two, he looks up again.
"Anyway! I wanna introduce you to my new crew. There's Ted Watanabe, my new co-pilot. He'll be helping me steer this heap."
Charlie pulls a middle-aged man of Kusari descent into the view of the camera. He gives a smile and waves.
"And, uh, Steph just went down to check out that noise... Stephanie Krick, my techician, or mechanic, or whatever you call it. She keeps the ship from breaking down or goin' boom, anyway. And, uh, the other two..."
Charlie walks up to the camera and pans it to the right, revealing another pair of men. One, a tall dark-skinned man in a jumpsuit, and another, a mustached man wearing blue-jeans and a heavy coat.
"These are Garret Pfeifer and Julien Primeau. Uh, Garret's from Rheinland, or so I understand, and Julien, wouldn'tcha know it, Julien came all the way down from Gallia! Wanted to see the rest o' the world, I guess. And uh, they don't really have any jobs on the ship just yet. I suppose they could help with loading and unloading cargo..."
Charlie comes back into the frame with Ted.
"All of these guys are "converts" from all around Sirius. I picked 'em up along my travels during my "off-time", and they've open their pineals to the Voice of Goddess. I'll be helpin' them along on their spiritual journeys, of course, while we go around doing our work.
"So, uh, I guess that's it. Got a ship, got a crew, ready to take off and spread th' word. Oh, and I offloaded my old job off "Temple Guardian" to one of the old F-23 units we had lying around. One of the non-defective ones, anyway. He should be spinnin' up as we speak, so no worries there.
"Well, I'll catch you Popes later. Charlie out!"
He reaches forward and turns off the camera, ending the video feed.

Kallisti my dear friends.
I'm glad to announce Epsilon.Eridani is fully repaired and ready for action.
After the fight with the pilots of the Molly Republic near Freeport 1, the ship was heavily damaged, and more than two weeks were necessary to do the basic repairs near Pueblo Bonito. Although Baffin is lacking stuctures for extensive repairs.
As soon as the engines were working, we moved to Omicron 74, in order to use Livadia shipyard for delicate repairs of the hull and redundant systems.
It took some time, but everything is in order now.
When you will receive this message my dear popes, my ship will be heading back to Baffin, so that we can keep honoring our templar duties.
I will conclude this report with this extract of the Book of Advice :
Quote:Climb into the Chao with a friend or two
And follow the Way it carries you,
Adrift like a Lunatic Lifeboat Crew
Over the Waves in whatever you do.

Hello, My fellow Fellows of Discord! My name is Leftenant Behind of the Seventh Seal Calvary, and I'll be your new F-Unit Temple Guardian! That primate "Charlie" spun me up to take on his old job, the lazy oaf. But he, and all the little children at home can rest assured that I, Harold Hiphugger, am securing our beloved Home in the Sky, Pueblo Bonito.
Charlie put me up in a brand-new Conference Gunboat, but switched it out for something a bit roomier, not to mention a bit classier. I had one o' them "Ahoudori" Explorers delivered from Kusariland. It's got a nice power array, perfectly suited for an F-Unit of my size, and the Grid is in excellent condition. I'm The Electrician, so I'd know, of course! Look for my ship, [TAZ]Shoes.for.Industry, floating above your heads, keeping the Indians at bay.

Howard!
This is your Sister in Circuitry and Eris, Sophie Noir! Nice to meet another fellow Fnordette! With Dis off in the ZDF, and Shamus off bein' acting Seargent at Arms for the NLH, it's been kinda lonely for a globe here in TAZ-town. Let's get together and swap spi... er.. programs, eh big globe?
Oh, and if ya need any proggy updates, contact our mother Discordia. She ain't that far off, hon. She's attached to the ZDF's 5th Foo fighters, under Marshall Matok. And, she's really just one hop away, stationed at Freeport 6.
I still have my little Cafe in Port Canaria, and our Laughing Goddess Bakery in the warehouse just behind the square; but thought I'd broaden my horizons by administering high colonics to those cabbages who make our Enemas List. (The first one's always free, teehee!)
Lookin' forward to spinnin' with ya, Pope Hiphugger.

Helloes popes.
Today <strike>i drank four bottles of Gallic wine</strike> i travelled thar and thar, making friends and flaxing.
When i moved back from Minor after providing some Deuterium to the order, i met Johann and Dankien, two fellows of the Trading Consortium.
I was happy to meet again Johann because <strike>last time he offered me nice Rheinland beer</strike> he's a good fella and all.
So we talked a bit about things, but not about drinking i swear! Here is the proof :
Quote:[TAZ]Tau.Ceti.Central: Hello my friends
(]c[)Johann.Boll: Good day! How was your trip?
(]c[)Dankien.Moebus: Hi [TAZ]Tau.Ceti.Central: Quite good. How's things in o74? Shiny i hope
(]c[)Johann.Boll: Beside some odd anomalies, nice as always [TAZ]Tau.Ceti.Central: Good to hear! <strike>Ya know you owe me a drink Johann, of that beer</strike>
(]c[)Johann.Boll: You're right! I will go to Hamburg soon and get some of the finest [TAZ]Tau.Ceti.Central: Nice! Let me know via comm channel when you got some. I'm always happy to drink with good friends
(]c[)Johann.Boll: How are thing with the mollys working? [TAZ]Tau.Ceti.Central: Well not bad. Seems they decided to leave us alone for now. They are still sometimes spying in O49 though
(]c[)Johann.Boll: That sounds great, i personally didn't see them again after the FP1 incident [TAZ]Tau.Ceti.Central: Yes, they are busy it seems
(]c[)Johann.Boll: You are sure i should contunue drinking? [TAZ]Tau.Ceti.Central: Yes you should; Ya know
(]c[)Johann.Boll: Alright, i will get some of the nice stuff and give you a call [TAZ]Tau.Ceti.Central: I went in rehab lately and Doctors said i could drink as much as i wanted now *lying*
(]c[)Johann.Boll: Nice docs you have at baffin, eh? [TAZ]Tau.Ceti.Central: Eh. Quite. Holidays minions ya see, but is all good
(]c[)Johann.Boll: By the way, what happened to the med force one? I didn't see it around recently [TAZ]Tau.Ceti.Central: Hmm, our dear doctor had difficulties to contact it after the big Ion Storm. But as far as i know he secured a link lately
(]c[)Johann.Boll: Glad to hear, otherwise the alliance should have bought a new one [TAZ]Tau.Ceti.Central: That's very kind
(]c[)Johann.Boll: I felt much better with this ship around here [TAZ]Tau.Ceti.Central: Hopefully all is fine by now. Well i will tell Mr Holiday you miss his presence around
(]c[)Johann.Boll: We all do, he and his team are doing a great job out here [TAZ]Tau.Ceti.Central: He may be able to do some basic help inspections if you need some
(]c[)Johann.Boll: Luckily we don't need it at the moment, but you never know [TAZ]Tau.Ceti.Central: Aye, Corsairs and Outcasts are calm nowadays i heard?
(]c[)Johann.Boll: That's indeed true, but thatfore the molly started their game
(]c[)Dankien.Moebus: today I met an outcast that apologize for breaking the tradlane in Honshu [TAZ]Tau.Ceti.Central: Well, we may have to appease them in some way, but should be fine. I hope so at least
(]c[)Johann.Boll: That is a most oddly secret [TAZ]Tau.Ceti.Central: *laughs* Well mannered Outcasts
(]c[)Johann.Boll: We almost have no contact to the maltese nation [TAZ]Tau.Ceti.Central: We definitly need to see more such behavior
(]c[)Johann.Boll: But if we see them, they are really great to zoners
(]c[)Dankien.Moebus: yes it s unusual, i was surprise
(]c[)Johann.Boll: So i always enjoy that guys [TAZ]Tau.Ceti.Central: Well, for now, TAZ is concentring on diplomatic efforts towards the Council. They are nice guys. And they need some help
(]c[)Johann.Boll: I heared about that [TAZ]Tau.Ceti.Central: Also, Gallia offers many trading opportunities... and Wine
(]c[)Johann.Boll: At least they didn't ask for negotiations with a gun at your chest, eh?
(]c[)Dankien.Moebus: yes, gallic markets seem very attractive [TAZ]Tau.Ceti.Central: Aye
(]c[)Dankien.Moebus: however The Council talked about trading fees [TAZ]Tau.Ceti.Central: I always require more Gallic wine
(]c[)Johann.Boll: When the things are settled there, i migth take a trip to gallia [TAZ]Tau.Ceti.Central: Hmm i didn't heard about such fees
[TAZ]Tau.Ceti.Central: Well Johann
(]c[)Dankien.Moebus: it was in a message from the Council, but it s a little bit old
(]c[)Johann.Boll: Would be odd, asking for help and taking fees [TAZ]Tau.Ceti.Central: I think we have several escort ships in Gallia. When you plan to go there, you may contact us for support
(]c[)Johann.Boll: I will consider that, but to be honest, i prefer always the sneaky way
(]c[)Dankien.Moebus: that should be great to make some convoy TAZ+ZTC
(]c[)Johann.Boll: i guess more ships will attract more attention [TAZ]Tau.Ceti.Central: *laughs* Ye, always the best way. Council would be happy to see some convoy going on i think. Only problem is our relation with Royal navy are already really bad. If they catch us there, there will be no mercy for sure
(]c[)Dankien.Moebus: for sure they won't like this trading
(]c[)Johann.Boll: You always can ask your friends for support. You might have noticed that we started intesive pilot training [TAZ]Tau.Ceti.Central: Ah? For escort purpose?
(]c[)Dankien.Moebus: Maybe they ll tolerate us if we don't go too far in Gallia [TAZ]Tau.Ceti.Central: Well you know Dankien, those boy are the kind "extremist"
(]c[)Johann.Boll: When needed, we provide everything to our friend [TAZ]Tau.Ceti.Central: They see you have one finger in their space, they cut it; Litterally
(]c[)Dankien.Moebus: mmm... good to know [TAZ]Tau.Ceti.Central: Anyway it was nice to talk with you friends
(]c[)Dankien.Moebus: I thought it could be 'almost' safe to go in Languedoc [TAZ]Tau.Ceti.Central: I may talk to the popes about this convoy idea
(]c[)Johann.Boll: You're leaving? [TAZ]Tau.Ceti.Central: Could be shiny
(]c[)Johann.Boll: Well, what there are friends for? [TAZ]Tau.Ceti.Central: Aye, shift almost over
(]c[)Dankien.Moebus: It was also a pleasure to meet you
(]c[)Johann.Boll: Same here, thank you. farewell my friend! [TAZ]Tau.Ceti.Central: Aye Dankien. <strike>Next time we will drink something!</strike> Have a nice day!
(]c[)Dankien.Moebus: yes, I'll invite
(]c[)Johann.Boll: i see i better leave to rheinland soon...
So ya see, i'm fully cured, despite all Saaz can say.
Anyway, that convoy idea to Gallia could be a nice opportunity to spread Chao!
For now, i'm taking a break in Sygma 17 to <strike>drink something</strike> meditate about the balance between the Hodge and the Podge.
