Mal and Doc,
I had to deal with these two low lifes myself. One of them fired several CD's at the Vor'cha before finally getting me. They jumped to Dublin before I could deal with them. They claimed it was a "systems malfunction." Well, my systems can malfunction too. In fact, they were acting like........Mon'Star. You know, all psycho and deranged???
Bertro and Valdes, don't dare push my neutrality. Revenge is a dish best served cold.
How nice. I decide to venture back out and what do I find, Jose Bertro in a pirate freighter and a Migel Rodrigez in a Praetorian bomber slugging it out with IMG The Last Orion. I ordered all 3 to cease fire which Senor Bertro did while the other two kept fighting. The Orion said that he would stop firing if Senor Rodrigez did but he did not. Of course, coming into the middle of it, I heard claims and counter-claims of "he shot first" and "self defense."
Since I didn't want to hear it, I took what I had and filed a report. I have a guncam shot if anyone wants it although I took it for names only. Another TAZ destroyer arrived to watch things while I went to submit this report.
If this doesn't prove we need action now, nothing does. It's become a total slaughter house in O49.
Clean the damn snoozing Scrubbies out of your gunbarrels and missile tubes, folk. Report here your receipt and confirmation. (And any juicy details of your kills.. heh.)

Just when I got the Tombstone Estate built up.........
On a higher note, The Colony Auxium destroyed Mon'Star. I believe there was some help involved. Several Zoner ships and the BAF gave chase but were too late.
Au contraire, Doc. The current hubbub at Canaria and environs is merely growing pains!
True, the planet's bucolic ambience was ideal for semi-retired gambl.. ahem.. professional men such as ourselves; but I am confident that Canaria will adapt and flourish.
In fact, sir, I have been away far too long. I turned the old Veranda Incognita into rubble out of pique and sorrow; but I miss the rich smells of the place. Birth, growth, death, decay.. but all natural processes, with their own rhythms and cycles. And I miss Alan's dolphins at Crater Lake.
By my reckoning, my holdings are about 8 klicks north of you, on Shaking Mountain Road. Care to attend an old-fashioned house-raising? I shall suppy the julips. Bring Madori along.

It was a group effort between the Spirit, the Auxium, and an Order battleship whose name escapes me...it started with T-a-o, that's all I recall.
Be kinder than necessary, because everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.

The Veranda Incognita. Sounds quite nice. And only 8 clicks away? We may have been neighbors anyway and not known it with the ample space available for building.
If you're looking to build, I'll be more than willing to assist. Supplies should be plentiful.
Miss Madori would be honored to come along *turns and smiles at her*. Hopefully the recent events of Canaria space will subside.
My journeys and learnings are as inspirational as ever. Thank you Mal for teaching me that word! My latest word is Simile... but I'm still not quite sure how to use it.
I was investigating large weapons fire in a thing like a bright green planet. That's a simile right? Well, I believe it's designation is "Nebula". I followed a large group of *Neutral*Corsairs into it, and found a large amount of *Neutral*BountyHunters. I watched for a while, and found the death very strange. Why must primates kill each other? Is it a flaw in their programming?
I am sending this transmission becuase the *Neutral*BountyHunters started shooting me... I started flying in circles to stop them hitting me, and asked them why they were doing so, and they just laughed at me. I think they saw it as a sport.
My definition of sport is:
–noun
1. an athletic activity requiring skill or physical prowess and often of a competitive nature, as racing, baseball, tennis, golf, bowling, wrestling, boxing, hunting, fishing, etc.
I did not understand how a battleship shooting little me was physical or skillful prowess... did I do something wrong? They would not answer me when I asked them if I had done something wrong, except one said that the battleship was wrong to shoot me... but the battleship did not stop.
It made me sad, and I left the big green Nebula and went to Freeport 10, where a lovely primate named Harry fixed my hull. Thank you Harry.
Hail Almighty Eris!

Greetings all,
I see that Harvester activity is on the rise, and I would like to know whether I should use the Peregrine to try and communicate with these machines. While she has no Artificial Intelligence in her now, the sight of her may stop the Harvesters from attacking.
At the moment, we are based on Planet Gran Canaria, awaiting any orders regarding Corsairs and the IMG.
If you want us to move at any time, just give us a call, we're alway's available.
Next, Child 2 has decided that she is ready (They chose genders... I decided it might be good for them) to go out exploring, and has chosen Omicron Theta for her research. This may mean she meets some corsairs, and so I am requesting to send a message to the Corsair council informing them that Child 2 is not a danger to them.
Finally, it is my sad duty to report that Child 5 is in a state of comatose. While this is sad, it also gives us an insight into how intelligent AI's can be. She decided that primates were not worth living around after hearing Child 1's story of death in Omicron Delta. I am hoping that I can bring her around with a nice holiday to the Southern Continent of Gran Canaria. The weather is nice down there right now, and I'm hoping that I can convince her life is still worth living... I really hope I can.
You are an amazing creature. While i can answer matters of the "Soul" and "Spirit", I would recommend that you spend some time with our "Mama Dis". I believe you will find her to be quite good at answering questions about cybersentient matters.

I too am wondering about the status of the Harvesters, sir. It has been some time since my contact with their "VotM" in Baffin. I believe they are experiencing some sort of transformation or mutation which may affect our future dealings with them. Any information that you or the "Children" can glean from them would be of value.
As to contacting the Council, I have on objections, although running your notice and requests through Doc Holliday might be adviseable.
To: Senior Temple Guards
I am pleased to announce the completion of our new "Cabbage Control Wing". As soon as your "key deposit" is recieved aboard the [TAZ]Moving'n'Storage, I expect you all to log some flight time in command of the various ships. If the vessels are moved for any reason, please notify us here.
Current status:
Unit A: In orbit above Curacao
Unit B: Baffin
Unit F: Freeport 1
Unit G: Baffin
Of course, the "Moving'n'Storage" will remain secure within Bafflin'. The Temple Fund will be transferred as needed from the Flagheap, and all future Fithings and Donations will be deposited to the M'n'S as well.
Don't scratch the paint! Any problems getting access, contact me via FnordNet Channel "S".
Now, for the Jake Day weekend. We will officially end "Gaunt" at 2400SMT Friday, and begin the Agape Ludens Ritual and Feast on Saturday. After the Ritual, the Bafflin' Open House will begin. Please plan to spend as much time as possible in Bafflin', greeting our guests, and collecting their annual Fithings to the Temple.
Now, I'm faced with a great decision.. Navel.. or Nap.
