Hey...I been lookin forward to gettin myself a respectable ship to go floatin with ya or one of dem sisters we heard tell 'a. I be packin' a right fine ottle of stoutest rum you ever did endure! 80% if its a drop! Mix in some o' that dark coaler and yer drinkin the meanest eggnog flavored mixer you ever did see. First ones on me. Heck, they all on me! Rum I have in abundance, go figure...
Oh Mal...
Got the Penials delivered, will send the gold and the other...something or others too. Thanks for the heads. Gonna get crackin in an hour or two. See any of you peeps and popes that be out there. Also...I'm not on the Roster anymore. ::kicks dirt:: I mean I know I been a pain a few times, but forgotten? Blast it all! Also, soon as I git that shark paid up I will get my Claw back in action. Sent in App few a ago and figure should be ready in a week or so. Ta Ta's fer the bein'
Edit*
Matok...You mistake me friend. I didn't say it was bad, just dangerous.
Cid out.
Well.. ya did miss the last roll call, old friend. Must have been one comfortable flop house to risk the wrath of Eris like that.
But, all is forgiven. Your new Robes have been ordered, logged, and await you in the Temple vestibule. The ones you had must be pretty threadbare from all that gutter-sniping... heh.
I've rostered the Wanchu.Pinchu.
The old Claw has probably been repossessed, and is only available now at those "other" Temples.. the ones with the blood-stained walls and severed limbs strewn about..
I'd recommend a zippy new Eagle or Roc.. check Freeport 14 for our "religious discount". They've done wonders souping up the old designs.
I'll be up to stretch myself shortly. Damned paperwork has kept me chained to my stateroom most of the day. Hardly had a chance to look out the porthole all the way from Delta to 49.

[RE: Houston, we have a problem... Problems problems problems, all you ever call us about is problems! Can't you ever call just to say hi?! Ok, fine, hi. Now can I report my problem? NO! I'm in a mood... I'm having a bath. *Storms off in a mood*]
Anyway... Child 3 and I were in Delta when we came across... this:
I believe the pictures can speak for themselves in this instance. Note what our "friend" says in them.
Lordess, Saker, you don't have to be in the Borderworlds to find a plethora of green leafy vegetables, sir.
Case in point:
Minding my own business in my yacht, ferrying some VIPs to Manhattan, and I was accosted not three rings out by a pirating putz in a Huge boat named Shagohad.. who even had the gall to have Mal's Holy number of 666 affixed to his name.
He had two equally big accomplices along for muscle.. one of them imitating an ancient earth marsupial, and the other.. well, beneath civilized notice.
Three Million this "Shago cad" demanded! Now my yacht doesn't net that much in fares per trip on the best day! But I paid, rather than lose a group of paying customers to these rakeshells...
Adding insult to injury, once I approached Manhattan I spied an LPI whom I believe may have been Chief O'brien himself. When I enquired if he might be through with his donut and ready for work, he replied "Maybe... maybe not.." The Podge seems to be tipping the scales in Liberty, my friends. I will definitely not be contributing to the "Benevolent Association" this year.
Then, to add insult to injury, on my return to Curacao with babbling "steerage" passengers, some unknown named "Shrike" felt it necessary to inform me of this ridiculous bounty on "all Zoners" issued by some Interspace peabrain awhile back..; and in a rather insinuating and threatening manner, I might add.
I suggested that he "talk to the hand", and made for the California gate.
Finally, once in California, I received one bright glimmer of intelligence from a polite Naval Officer, who reassured me that I had nothing to fear from the Military, at least; nor were he and his fellow Officers the least bit interested in the IC pencil pushers's protestations and pitiful pecuniary propositions towards the Zoner Community.
Fellow TAZ traders, I will definitely be finding alternate routes; even if I have to haul refugees from Holman to the Temple for a pittance, or in exchange for bushels of turnips.
Thanks for keeping my cot in the closet my friend. All my robes in order and the flax is beginning to flow. I'm getting the Claw up to Guard status then I will get the Wanchu up maybe for a larger transport. I will be in Sigma 19 and 13 till futher notice with short trips to get things in order.

Fyre to Cid:
Oooh Rum you say? I've not had a dram in quite sometime. By all means, I'm eating raw fish and drinking sake on New Tokyo, until I'm convinced I don't need to be here then it's back to Theta. I stay close to the FP there for obvious reasons. Rum you say?
Kallisti most unannointed ones. Word from FP6 is theres a pirate named Turpin hunting close by as well as a frequent Phantom lurking in the shadows Be Aware , Stay alert out there.
