Captain, thank you for the report. I find it amusing that the Hogosha would call the Kusari government "enemies" when they have long been suspected of cozying up to them and even being on the payroll but nonetheless, I received word that Gorb is doing well on Med.Force.One.
On another note, I want to thank Captain Gregorius of [TAZ]Malexa for his security work in Baffin. I was rendering medical aid to some friends when two suspicious Rhienland gunboats arrived and began questioning my friends. I seriously thought there was going to be an exchange of gunfire but their wasn't. Gregorius, your security of the crew aboard the Ark is most appreciated. Alicia can breathe a bit easier now knowing that the yacht she commands is safe.
Also, I encountered some GMS ships today. I was suspicious at first since I do know they are close to the Gallic Royals. They left with a load of amulets and promised to return with wine and tobacco at my request. A busy day indeed.
A soft voice in the backround is heard.
"John Henry, your dinner is ready"
As we were finishing our shift, we were contacted by a Gallic ship. It seems he proposed to deliver some Gallic commodities to Shasta Skyhook; Here are the logs of the long range communication : ++ Appending logs ++
[11.04.2011 00:37:23] [GMS]French.Advance: Bonjour, have you communicated at all with the captain of Ambassador's Ark regarding a cargo shipment?
[11.04.2011 00:37:47] [TAZ]Metaxas: Negative. What is this about, if i may ask?
[11.04.2011 00:38:13] [GMS]French.Advance: The good captain requested that I bring along a shipment of Tobacco and Wine to Shasta
[11.04.2011 00:38:35] [GMS]French.Advance: I promised him that it would arrive 15 minutes ago, but due to personnel issues, that hasn't happened.
[11.04.2011 00:39:00] [GMS]French.Advance: And so I wished to both extend my apologies and notify that I am en route presently ++ endof ++
He also proposed to deliver more goods if we were in need, as you can see here : ++ Appending logs ++
[11.04.2011 01:02:23] [GMS]French.Advance: And that there is. Just give us a ring when the stocks run low and we'd be happy to bring along more.
[11.04.2011 01:02:47] [TAZ]Metaxas: Ah well, thank Mr... Hmm? May i ask your name?
[11.04.2011 01:03:08] [GMS]French.Advance: Jean Pierre LeBlanc, Director of External Operations, at your service
[11.04.2011 01:03:31] [TAZ]Metaxas: Very well Jean-Pierre. A pleasure to meet you
[11.04.2011 01:03:42] [TAZ]Metaxas: I'm Gregorius Adagio *bows*
[11.04.2011 01:04:05] [GMS]French.Advance: I understand relations between the TAZ and the Royalists got off on a rocky start, but in time, I hope the GMS can demonstrate a more sensible relationship
[11.04.2011 01:04:23] [TAZ]Metaxas: That would be lovely
[11.04.2011 01:04:38] [TAZ]Metaxas: I will inform the popes about your generous offer ++ endof ++
That's it. We are now taking a little break. The men need some rest. I also do.

I have been speaking with the leadership of the Gallic Metal Service. We will be seeing more of them as they bring us tobacco and wine and leave with pineal amulets. Maybe we can't go into Gallia but at least we can get some goods from there.
I spoke with Bret from "The Maverick V." He asked me about joining TAZ. As a friend of mine, I will support membership. Hopefully he applies soon.
I am Michael Storm, Discordia's Executive Officer...
So are we striking a deal with them Gallic folks now? Well I guess we'll see how that turns out... I'de also like to announce that I temporarely have the conn on this ship... Commanders orders.

Greetings, friends old and new. Reg and Moira here. Just reminding everyone that our guest rooms at the Veranda are always available for your overnights at Port C. If we're away spinning flax, use Moira's old title to disable the defense perimeter. (Starts with a "K"..).
It's "serve yourself". The larder is stocked, and if you don't cook, there's always Sophie's on the square.
Meanwhile.. any sight of that scruffy friend of mine?

Michael Storm, congrats on your command. As to the Gallics, it's basically a deal for wine and tobacco. But yes, you can bet I'll be monitoring things very carefully as should us all.
Reggie, Moira, nice to hear from you again. We haven't seen Mal in some time. Hopefully, sooner than later, we can get ahold of him.
One concern, a Freelancer in Baffin recently came under fire and complained that he was given a hard time for defending himself after coming under fire near Shasta. Granted, I don't like fire near the base but I don't expect someone to not defend themselves. I'm planning on going after the Freelancer who created the problem.
However, the junk floating about after this fracas, which I was not close enough to observe, was within 1300 meters of the central dome; which causes me to believe that "The.Spy" could have just as easily docked with impunity and thumbed his nose at the offending primate.

Looks like I've finally gathered the flax fer a Juggy... Gonnna be named [TAZ] Chaco Canyon I think, after I accidently tripped over some old photies of Puerto Benito's origins in a Junker scrap shop. I bought the album for a coupla creds.......See this linky for the downloaded ancient scribings..
I got a coupla underlings helping with fetchin' and carryin' kit and kaboodle on this one....Set_Point_2 and Set_Point_3 being the names of the ships. Just be kind to them boys if you see 'em around eh? And don't ask 'em what happened to Set_Point_1...not a good ending.
And the Waverlys have moved back in eh? Must drop 'em a line.... I got scraps of news about Mal, but like you say, he's one of the best at not being seen if he ain't in the mood fer havin' his robes tugged.
*Concordia shouts* KNOW YE THIS O [handsome] MAN OF FAITH!
Sweetheart... Someone was searching you yesterday...
That was... Hmm hmm *The girls thinks for a while* Ah yes! Georgi Dimitri... Georgi Dimitra... Uhh... Something like that.
He said his girl... -hmm.. Rika was it?- is pregnant so they wanted to see you for some medical related thingy didly i guess!
*She smiles misvhievously* I tried to contact you but it seems the transmission was blocked *Concordia winks* Is Midori blocking my calls? She doesn't like much when i call you, right? *laughs*
By the way...I'm not looking at fnordnet a lot... Something is going on, love?
Anyway... I hope everything is fine in Baffin... Sometimes i miss Shasta a bit...
All hail Concordia! *She blows a kiss*
