*Concordia appears on the screen, in a somewhat dark room and whispers* KNOW YE THIS O [handsome] MAN OF FAITH!
I met a lot of new friends today! *She makes a pause and wonders* Or was it yesterday?
Oh well, doesn't matter! Anyway... I'm in Java right now, *She points at something out of the scope of the record device, smiling* with Gary.
*She whispers* He is sleeping right now... He was quite tired after all those drinks and ... *She grins*
Uhoh... Anyway, i should start by the beginning....
*She thinks a bit* So... I was in Tau 23, enjoying to slalom between the rocks, when i met a Gallic girl who was nice!
She invited me to Reunion for some drinks and we stayed there for a bit...
*She is then about to say something but instead laughs* Oh right, Midori may be listening...
So... The Gallic girl had to go after a while so i left and started to wander in Sirius.
I wanted to see Freeport 1 and i met a pilot there, Cayle that is... We did some training in Omega 3 *She laughs* Damn! Ages i didn't used the Unicorn's guns! I wasn't even sure they were still working!
Anyway, we moved back to Tau 23 after a bit, and i encountered an IMG pilot i met earlier.
We had some drinks in Java's bar and played a little game. Cayle and me lost... But i was so close to win!
Basically one clothes close to win... *She giggles*
At last, we had some.. hmm.. Sleep?
*She takes a look at something out of the scope again* Isn't he lovely when he sleeps like a little baby? *Concordia rolls her eyes, thinking about something* Uh... I hope Mom' doesn't get this communication...
*She makes her mischievous face* If that is the case, this is for you Mom'! *She pulls face and puts out her tongue*
All hail Concordia! *laughs*

Hello. What's happening over near Gran Canaria? O-50 has been claimed by the Coalition seemingly out of nowhere. We, Omicroners, know that you boys have had pretty solid connection with SCRA. Have they told you anything about this?
Omega 50 may not be our business but we are all Zoners and annaxing a predominantly Zoner populated system sounds like Imperialism. Pennsalvania anyone? Once again, the system in question is millions of lightyears away from O-74, but they're still Zoners. What is the TAZ planning to do about what is clearly a take over of an independant system?

*A somewhat aged lady appears on the screen*
Kallisti.
It's good to hear again someone from the Omicrons.
How things are going out there?
*She gets closer from the record device*
About your questions dear friend, here is what we know :
*She starts to walk a bit in front of the camera, clearing up her mind*
A few days ago, a battle occured between two Coalition ships and one zoner vessel in Omega 50.
How and why this engagement started, as well as who is guilty doesn't matter much now. *She skakes her head*
Now the Coalition is pissed off. They believe their home is threatened - Omega 52 is just one jump away from there after all.
Now, i personnally think it's a bit early to know if the Coalition is claiming Omega 50, as you said.
After all, our stations there weren't targetted. No zoner trade convoy or zoner civilian ship was destroyed by the Coalition.
I believe those comrades want to secure the system; Their primary target being the Corsairs maintaining a base there.
*She sighs* Anyway, as you pointed it out, we have some ties with the SCRA - Commerce ties that is.
John is quite annoyed by all this, since his family lives nearby, in Gran Canaria. He is taking care of this matter personnally, and is currently discussing with Premier Alvin Katz.
We TAZies will deal with this the better way we know : By using our diplomatic competences.
Be sure we will inform the zoners living in the Omicrons about the evolution of the situation in Omegas.
Have a good day, dear friend.
23's.

I have made several deliveries for the SCRA, I hope these will be useful, and continue to show our good relations with SCRA.
It was a pretty quiet set of runs, not much worth mentioning.
It's been a while since I had taken one of my ships out for trading. After having my identity hacked and/or corrupted, I spent a great deal of time sorting it out. Hopefully it won't happen again, it was quite frustrating to deal with.
Oh well on to business, here are the delivery manifests.
Enjoying a game isn't always taking the easy route, sometimes you have to take chances and trust in luck, sometimes that luck takes a big bite out of your backside.

'Allo 'allo! Ye'll be glad to hear that me divorce from me shrew of an ex-wife is final. Sadly, the courts on Leeds gave everything to me ex, includin' me ship, me credits, and any other o' me assets they could get to, even me property on Erie thanks to the treaty between Liberty and Bretonia. At least they let me keep me trousers. Generous chap that judge is! I suppose that's what I get fer marryin' a lawyer in the first place...
Ah well. Tis just Eris' way o' tellin me to make a clean start. I've done it before, and I'll do it again. I managed to get a good deal on a used Starflier here on Erie. It's leakin' atmosphere, the port stabilizer is held on by engine tape and happy thoughts, and I can't seem to get the smell o' cat urine out o' the cockpit, but ye couldn't beat the price! Once I get this hunk o' junk off the ground, I'll head up to Baffin and see about pickin' up a fresh pair o' robes. It'll be nice to be among friends again. I'll see ye then!
Hail Eris! -><- καλλιστι -><- All Hail Discordia

Hoi omaez!
We wish to inform you that we made a short run across the Omicrons. It took us about a month-but we were able to gather some information.
Well as it stands now: Delta seems to become silent. Noone pokes the 11th Fp nowdays. The weapon-wieldin guest of our Geishas told us that we do not have to worry about the incidents...and it was the pure truth. Noone insulted us while we tresspassed the omicrons-unless we dont count those annoyin' squids.
here comes the interesting part.
In Kappa-on planet Primus it seems the Apelings are workin' on something. They are buyin huge piles of various resources...and as usually they pay the highest price for quality lightarms and military vehicles. It is clear that they are not preparing to direct war...but they are prepared for anything...possibly they know something what we dont?
Another weird thing about them:
We were not able to get sufficent info, but as it seems now they were able to manage some...it is interesting so you have to know that Primus had no real forests in the past because of the extreme radiation...but it changed for now. As it stands now it seems they found some radiation-resistant spieces and planted the whole planet with it. They grew huge forests from the almost nowhere...
We were able to get some info, and it contains wery-wery....well... It is interesting let me allow to say so. It seems they were able to build an...alliance with the forests there. It is somehow sentinent in some ways. At least the apelings told us something like that the forest is talking to some of them and so on...
weird thing indeed-but our installation on Primus is safe from any attrocity. And it seems the Primusians are willing to keep up the zoner bases around the docking rings-so we dont have to worry at all about their new activity. One more thing: it seems these apelings (do not call 'em monkey or they will be pissed off and you dont want it trust me) so these 'lings managed to keep a few bigger vessels of different factions on their planets bigger hangars. They have powerful allies among Order squadrons (with reseph cruisers and gebs), Corsair battleship commanders and we saw 2(!) BH Makos around the Planet...it seems they have good relations with most inhabitants of the Omicrons- offcourse they are still hunting the squids so that may be the only race there what is not connected to them somehow for now...
In theta...well we sold some crates of drinks to the 'sairs and slipped out before they would like to force us to do so-but other than that it seemed to be silent aswell.
We will keep the 'Dance close to Fp1 for a few weeks. We are willing to plant a small colony there with a few familias-since it seems most of our people already left that port in the past and it cannot stay thisway.
Kallisti siters and brothers.
May Eris smile on thee with her joyful smile.

Well mate! I've been ticklin' me pineal and it seems like ya never left us. Apparently yer excuses fer not being around all got lost in the post and ended up in some Greyfaced Liberty Captains Inbox, clogged up the poor boogers system for weeks I heard. Kinda neat, did you do that on purpose or did Eris lend a hand?
So in that respect. Grab yer robes, I had 'em laundered, and jump a ship ta Baffin.

*You can see her, having a tea on the Unicorn hold*
Yesterday evening, i met some nice friends!
Well things went quite interesting i must say...
*She thinks a bit*
First off, i met this guy when i was in Leeds orbit...
He was quite shy in the beginning... But then he invited me to some bar in Leeds.
Well... *She shrugs* Too bad we never reached this bar.
As we were walking, some guys started to follow us! At first i thought they wanted some autograph from me... But they started to shoot at us!
So, Andrew and i started to run. It was funny! I used that laser gun you gave me Mord... It was usefull! First time i try it.
Anyway... In the end, we had to hide in some building and fight back...
As we were fighting, Jeanne contacted me. She was quite angry that someone was shooting at me, so she headed to Leeds right away!
*She makes a vague sign with her hand* We did some fireworks and it was funny. In the end, Andrew used.. hmm.. How they call that... Granade? He launched it and it maked a big boom!
It killed all the bad boys... *She sighs* That's too bad... Some were so cute...
Oh right! *She laughs* After that Jeanne arrived with the Democritus, and picked us.
She is still wounded by... Hmm.. Don't know if i can talk about that. Oh well! After that we had some drinks in the Democritus and played a little game! *She giggles*
Now that was interesting, because Jeanne ended up naked... as well as me... And Andrew won with only his underwears...
Such a lucky boy!
*She thinks again and pulls face* Also... Yea... while we were playing, Gary contacted me... He wanted to know what i was doing.... *She grins* A bit possessive, eh?
In the end, when i lost, he paid Andrew with 2millions of Sirians credits!
I wish i had so much money!
*Wonders* After that... I moved to Tau 23 and met him at Java! *She then laughs* Okay... I won't go into details there!
*Concordia reminds something suddenly* Ah forgot one thing! There was also this Outcast always willing to meet me in Omicrons! I was busy and all, so couldn't meet him! Guess it will be for the next time... *Wonders* Maybe Gary could join me?
*She blows a kiss and laughs* Love you!
All hail Concordia! *laughs*

*Connie is sitting in front of the video feed, wearing a small skirt. She waves*
How are you sweet hearts? It's me again!
*She looks at something out of the scope*
So yeah.... Just felt i could tell you what happened lately!
Let's see... *She thinks a bit* Oh right!
So i was in New Berlin when i met this Rheinland police guy... He had some troubles with Unioners who disrupted the lanes!
He shot them all and asked me to move quickly to New Berlin orbit... Well.. I did that after i tractored the escape pods of the Unioners guys... *She chuckles* Who knows... One could be cute, right? Would be a shame to not find out!
So.. After that... Ewald scanned my ship and asked me some stuffs... He was so professional... *She laughs*
But well, his shift was done, so we landed and had some drinks in a lounge near Federal Police headquarters i think...
We had some talks then... It was funny... He was so shy! *Connie grins*
Anyway, i had to leave him quickly after that, since Gary called me. He needed some guns and all that.
So i remember John gave me those guns i have on the Unicorn and i contacted him...
In the end we all met in Freeport 1! Oh and Jeanne was there too! *laughs* Damn... The bar became a mess quite fast! John was totally drunk and Gary's friend too!
In the end... John had to go because Rosie called him... And Jeanne wasn't feeling good...
Speaking of which... John? You're getting this transmission right? I think i will ask you something very soon! I hope you will help!
So yeah... Gary and i moved to the Unicorn... Where i am right now...
*She giggles, reminding something*
Ah yes... And that Outcast captain was still quite angry i had no time to see him... He told me that :
The.Old.One: Im tempted to just run down to that system your in Kidnap you and bring you back here *Smiles* dont tempt me more
Isn't that cute?
All hail Concordia! *laughs*

Greetings all and Kallisti!
As some of you know there has been rumors of a bounty over actions taken by a TAZ in Omicron Theta. These rumors once had weight but no longer bear much truth. Although I would like to say here and now that any action taken that hinders the Zoner population in the Omicrons is forbidden! Whatever their reasons they are doing the best they can to survive a tough situation. Keep your guns cooled and your tongues softened in that area gents and gals.
The main concern I have that I would like to avoid is furthering the chasm that is now between us and them. I want to someday build a bridge over that chasm and repair the bonds that were cut that fateful day in Omicron Theta. Please keep this in mind with your wheelings and dealings in the area.
Hail the Goddess and 23's
