that are great news. Who is doing the paperwork for it? I feel a little honored that the GMG asked for our support, i would gladly work closer with our friends.

Konnichiwa,
I have sent a request to the Red Hessian Army requesting transferal of GMG docking rights on Ronnenburg and Freital to the ZTC. I will personally keep you informed on the status of the request...

[**gm azuki tamagochi speaks**]
"Surely you know we have not been able to trade 'south' through house space for the longest time. Ultimately - with the new Sigma Pact, this will all change. Eventually most of our trade vessels, from simple gas miners to Container Transports will be headed through house space.
Simply put, this represents an enormous opportunity for your organisation. All you need to do it take up whatever slack results from us shipping to Mainz and beyond.
Understandably, this new deal leaves our 'Red' customers in the cold. Already the Hessians may well be incensed at this move of ours. Each shipment we used to sent to them needs to be taken up by your company, which can of course be done in between runs to Lanzarote as per normal."
*PING* [**entry noise - a secretary announces the arrival of an engineer, gm tamagochi continues**]
"Good! At last we come to our second item. Many of you may not be aware of our exploration wing. Maybe in the future, we are looking at commissioning a much larger, more capable vessel for long-term exploration and colonisation.
At this time, we don't necessarily NEED to make a move on this right now. It is just something we are flagging for future investment. Never mind the legislation required to approve this kind of funding!
To be sure, all we are asking for at this stage is for a feasibility study to be carried out.
Every effort must be made to keep our dealings discrete. Lanzarote might be a good place to have future discussions, are we interested?"
[**yev lightwing speaks**]
"Of course we are interested, as long as the Kommandants are willing to accept us as their new 'business partners'.
"Do we anticipate complaints and possible harassment from some of our other clients? Of course we do. Never underestimate though, our ability to juggle the manifold factions we have to deal with. Every man and his space-dog has to earn a living, right?"
[**laughter from the room, sound of glasses clinking**]

Gentlemen,
yesterday, a Corsair violated restricted space and destroyed one of our vessels, after we gave him a warning shot. The Council of Corsair Elders has been contacted regarding this issue, i hope they will react soon. Please consider the Corsair battleship Blackthorne hostile, until it's commander gained our trust again. He is not to dock at Freeport 9 nor he's allowed to enter Omicron 74.
Today there has been another disturbing incident with a non zoner battleship in Omicron 74. He approached Livadia, but claimed terrorists captured his vessel. In my opinion, he just needed a scapegoat for him attacking Livadia on purpose. How a few terrorists can capture a huge battle ship? Ridiculous!
Until there was no evidence from Mr. Sanchez, commander of the Chandelier, which proves his vessel really got captured, he is considered hostile towards us!
I think it is really time we introduce an official list of hostiles. I even consider to ban all non zoner and non allied battleship class ships from Omicron 74, unless they got a clearance for.

I want to thank those of the ZTC who assisted in destroying Capone today. Most excellent work! I don't know who got the killing shot but it was satisfying killing such scum.
If someone has it, I would like the screenshot of him dying and the miraculous re-spawn from Freeport 6. I'm sure the good Doctor would just love to have it.
