The four missing member of TC² crew were found, and it seems they were caught at some point by a nomad ship.
We will soon move to Omega 49, and i would like to ask you, John, if you could have them checked on Med Force One as soon as we arrive.
I don't want to take any risk concerning a possible infestation.
The four patients would be miss Neena, senor Hollow, Korbah and Hype.
Others members of the crew are lightly injured, the most serious injury being Vipharass's broken leg. But they were taken care of in that Leeds hospital we spent a few days on.
Thanks for your time.
23's.

I know most of you remember the big iridium contract we had with Daumann Industries awhile back. I thought the company had folded but it appears not. They did downsize but are still very much in operation.
They have also asked us to continue with iridium deliveries to "The Ring" in New Berlin for 20 million credits per month. This is a nice steady contract that is easy to maintain so I'm going to continue it. The details can be found here.
You can also post your delivery screens there. Remember, Borderworld transports for this run. Between paperwork and the fact you may need your guns for Nomad assassins, it makes sense.
To make life a bit easier in the nomad infested world of the Omicrons, I am assigning the [TAZ]Moonstone a double duty of not only monitoring things in the Sigmas but also providing escort to and from FP11. Commander DeGarmo will relocate to Freeport 9.
One other note of concern, the Corsairs are a bit upset with Freeport 11 Administration so be careful out there. It's not our place to respond to this as the place isn't ours to run but do be mindful out there.
On a side note, I'll get back into space when Midori stops hammering me with her ever growing "honey-do" lists. I think she does it to keep me here.
Hoi! Doc! good ta see the Daumann ain't dead yet! I'll jump on that Iridium run.. The Law of Fives is in tip top nick, the best BWT I ever had ......If that's any recommendation, and most Corsairs just gimme a good curse and a wave. But I'd be grateful if Commander DeGarmo and the Moonstone would keep an eye out fer me bow wave around the Nomads in the Omicrons, things can get sticky out there.

Kallisti there, fellow popes!
My ship the Coconut.Tree was running on autopilot. As you may know, most of us are attending the Revival Meeting in this system right here. Using the datapad I brought, I was able to make the ship look like it was manned.
While in transit through Cortez, the ship was greeted by "The Ban Society", Joker and his people. It met the ban they were talking about. They didn't give any complications. And also Joker told me to say "hi" to Doc.

[03.05.2011 21:06:21] [The-Ministry]-Birdie: I like to see Tazzies around.
[03.05.2011 21:06:27] [The-Ministry]-Birdie: They smell good.
[03.05.2011 21:06:34] The_Joker: You know... We'd banned you if you weren't a part of TAZ, you do know that?
[03.05.2011 21:06:51] [TAZ]Coconut.Tree: Rainus: I didn't realize that... but... thank you for telling me...
[03.05.2011 21:06:58] [The-Ministry]-Birdie: Aye. We'r cool with Tazzies people.
[03.05.2011 21:07:12] The_Joker: So... Consider yourself theoretically banned, ok?
[03.05.2011 21:07:29] [TAZ]Coconut.Tree: Rainus: I will... if Eris permits...
[03.05.2011 21:07:34] The_Joker: Thank you.
[03.05.2011 21:07:41] The_Joker: And say hello to Doc when you see him.
[03.05.2011 21:07:49] [TAZ]Coconut.Tree: Rainus: Anyways 23's to you guys....
[03.05.2011 21:08:00] [TAZ]Coconut.Tree: Good luck with banning the system!
[03.05.2011 21:08:06] The_Joker: Thank you.
Afterwards, one of the people involved in the "ban" contacted me about Popess Concordia. The person, apparently a she, asked me about her. But alas I could not find nor contact Popess Condordia; however, the two of us managed to strike a conversation.

[03.05.2011 21:07:25] ND|-Esmeralda.Ramos: You know Concordia, I guess?
[03.05.2011 21:08:39] ND|-Esmeralda.Ramos: So? Do you?
[03.05.2011 21:08:44] [TAZ]Coconut.Tree: Yes...
[03.05.2011 21:08:54] ND|-Esmeralda.Ramos: Any idea when she might be around?
[03.05.2011 21:12:47] [TAZ]Coconut.Tree: Um Hold on... i'll try and contact her.
[03.05.2011 21:12:49] ND|-Esmeralda.Ramos: Thank you.
[03.05.2011 21:17:33] ND|-Esmeralda.Ramos: Oh yes, my other question was what kind of stuff the TAZ does and stands for, and what their objectives are.
[03.05.2011 21:17:41] [TAZ]Coconut.Tree: Rainus: Thank you, Good sir.
[03.05.2011 21:18:22] [TAZ]Coconut.Tree: It means Temprorary Autonomous Zoners...
[03.05.2011 21:18:40] [TAZ]Coconut.Tree: We are technically Zoners but have different ideals... from general Zoners.
[03.05.2011 21:18:52] ND|-Esmeralda.Ramos: I mean what are your opinions on things? What do you fight or work for?
[03.05.2011 21:19:35] [TAZ]Coconut.Tree: We fight for Eris... work for Eris...
[03.05.2011 21:19:44] ND|-Esmeralda.Ramos: Aand what is Eris?
[03.05.2011 21:19:46] [TAZ]Coconut.Tree: Eris is the goddess of Chaos...
[03.05.2011 21:20:07] [TAZ]Coconut.Tree: Does this creep you out? *wonders*
[03.05.2011 21:21:07] ND|-Esmeralda.Ramos: *She wonders for a bit* Not really, but it confuses me as Concordia is a member of the TAZ too and, well..
[03.05.2011 21:21:14] ND|-Esmeralda.Ramos: She seems exactly the opposite of that.
[03.05.2011 21:21:27] ND|-Esmeralda.Ramos: But I cause some chaos myself a lot too, on accident. *She giggles*
[03.05.2011 21:22:04] [TAZ]Coconut.Tree: Opposite as in how?
[03.05.2011 21:22:51] ND|-Esmeralda.Ramos: Calm, loving, not chaotic at all.
[03.05.2011 21:23:14] [TAZ]Coconut.Tree: Oh thats the one thing most people don't understand...
[03.05.2011 21:23:22] [TAZ]Coconut.Tree: WE aren't exactly chaotic...
[03.05.2011 21:24:24] [TAZ]Coconut.Tree: Most of the time people misunderstand us... the ones who only hear about us...
[03.05.2011 21:24:47] ND|-Esmeralda.Ramos: Like me, I guess.. But why do you praise Eris then, if you're not chaotic at all?
[03.05.2011 21:25:01] [TAZ]Coconut.Tree: The point exactly...
[03.05.2011 21:25:12] [TAZ]Coconut.Tree: The question itself bears chaos...
[03.05.2011 21:25:29] [TAZ]Coconut.Tree: Or in other words... confuzzlement...
[03.05.2011 21:26:02] ND|-Esmeralda.Ramos: Oooh I see.. Sounds like me, really.
[03.05.2011 21:26:05] [TAZ]Coconut.Tree: Chaos doesn't come in just one way...
[03.05.2011 21:26:12] [TAZ]Coconut.Tree: It comes in many ways...
[03.05.2011 21:26:20] ND|-Esmeralda.Ramos: I love to confuse guys in thinking stuff.. *She giggles miciviously*
[03.05.2011 21:26:47] ND|-Esmeralda.Ramos: Isn't Eris supposed to be the Godess of Beauty or something, as well?
[03.05.2011 21:26:51] [TAZ]Coconut.Tree: Aha.... anyways Chaos doesn't need to be in the form, well lets say that ban Joker is conducting..
[03.05.2011 21:27:13] ND|-Esmeralda.Ramos: Seductive chaos, you mean?
[03.05.2011 21:27:25] [TAZ]Coconut.Tree: Another possibility, yes.
[03.05.2011 21:27:38] ND|-Esmeralda.Ramos: I managed to get two people to fight by dating both, it wasn't really my plan but, it kinda gave me some satisfaction.

[03.05.2011 21:29:07] ND|-Esmeralda.Ramos: Guess my feminine voice doesn't convince you, huh?
[03.05.2011 21:29:24] [TAZ]Coconut.Tree: Just double checking, is all...
[03.05.2011 21:29:47] ND|-Esmeralda.Ramos: No problem, intersystem comms tend to screw up sometimes.
[03.05.2011 21:30:34] ND|-Esmeralda.Ramos: So tell what?
[03.05.2011 21:30:54] [TAZ]Coconut.Tree: What does the ND stand for?
[03.05.2011 21:31:34] ND|-Esmeralda.Ramos: It's the New Dawn. We're basically just Freelancers enjoying life as much as we can.
[03.05.2011 21:31:41] ND|-Esmeralda.Ramos: And protecting it.
[03.05.2011 21:31:55] [TAZ]Coconut.Tree: I see...
[03.05.2011 21:32:05] [TAZ]Coconut.Tree: and why does TAZ interest you?
[03.05.2011 21:32:21] ND|-Esmeralda.Ramos: I think you're kinda like that as well, aren't you?
[03.05.2011 21:32:37] [TAZ]Coconut.Tree: Was thinking the same, yes.
[03.05.2011 21:32:42] ND|-Esmeralda.Ramos: The problem with my current freelancer papers and stuff, got me in some trouble already.
[03.05.2011 21:32:54] ND|-Esmeralda.Ramos: I got shot by Navy a bunch of times.
[03.05.2011 21:33:10] [TAZ]Coconut.Tree: I see....
[03.05.2011 21:33:14] ND|-Esmeralda.Ramos: Just because I was using a ship the Outcasts use as well, but are still civilian in some way.
[03.05.2011 21:33:29] ND|-Esmeralda.Ramos: And I tried to break up a pointless fight, but then they turned against me.
[03.05.2011 21:33:57] ND|-Esmeralda.Ramos: Aaand the TAZ interests me because its members are kinda cute, those I met at least. *She chuckles*
[03.05.2011 21:34:05] [TAZ]Coconut.Tree: Aha....
[03.05.2011 21:34:19] [TAZ]Coconut.Tree: Well, Eris be dammed... I haven't introduced myself.
[03.05.2011 21:34:45] [TAZ]Coconut.Tree: Pope Rainus Saucisson... at your service.
[03.05.2011 21:34:50] [TAZ]Coconut.Tree: *smiles*
[03.05.2011 21:35:44] ND|-Esmeralda.Ramos: Nice to meet you Rainus. *She smiles in a friendly way*
[03.05.2011 21:36:25] ND|-Esmeralda.Ramos: So, does the TAZ actually accepts new members..?
[03.05.2011 21:36:40] [TAZ]Coconut.Tree: Actually we do...
[03.05.2011 21:37:03] ND|-Esmeralda.Ramos: That's nice to hear.. Would you accept me?
[03.05.2011 21:37:17] ND|-Esmeralda.Ramos: Or am not good enough? *She looks a bit sad*
[03.05.2011 21:37:29] [TAZ]Coconut.Tree: Depending on your application... you can file one at Shasta...
[03.05.2011 21:37:53] [TAZ]Coconut.Tree: Drop in a beanie, and we'll measure your pineal... As Eris might say.
[03.05.2011 21:38:16] ND|-Esmeralda.Ramos: *She looks a bit confused* I guess I'll have to read up your religion first though.
[03.05.2011 21:38:34] [TAZ]Coconut.Tree: Yes you can... hehe... *smiles*
[03.05.2011 21:39:17] ND|-Esmeralda.Ramos: Ehm, Jokey is taking me somewhere. I'm trying to get Concordia a date with him. *She chuckles*
[03.05.2011 21:39:51] ND|-Esmeralda.Ramos: Don't tell anyone though.
[03.05.2011 21:40:02] [TAZ]Coconut.Tree: Rainus: I hope its somewhere safe... A lady like you with a group of -um Thugs... isn't that a bit dangerous?
[03.05.2011 21:40:31] ND|-Esmeralda.Ramos: I can see through Jokey's rough and brutal looks and behavior, actually.
[03.05.2011 21:40:57] ND|-Esmeralda.Ramos: I can see a man scarred by his past, who buried his love and feelings away beneath crusts of hate and violence..
[03.05.2011 21:41:00] [TAZ]Coconut.Tree: Rainus: I don't call it brutal... *grins* more of eccentric.
[03.05.2011 21:41:16] ND|-Esmeralda.Ramos: He's kind of a violent man, that's for sure.
[03.05.2011 21:41:34] ND|-Esmeralda.Ramos: But I can take care of myself, really.
[03.05.2011 21:41:37] [TAZ]Coconut.Tree: Bent on vengeance and whatnot.
[03.05.2011 21:41:58] ND|-Esmeralda.Ramos: Exactly. I just need to seduce him a bit so he'll open up to me.
[03.05.2011 21:42:03] ND|-Esmeralda.Ramos: I'm pretty sure of it.
[03.05.2011 21:42:27] [TAZ]Coconut.Tree: The man needs someone to talk to...
[03.05.2011 21:42:43] ND|-Esmeralda.Ramos: I'm sure Concordia was pretty close at that.
[03.05.2011 21:42:59] [TAZ]Coconut.Tree: If I know her better then yes... I think she would...
[03.05.2011 21:43:18] [TAZ]Coconut.Tree: Question though.
[03.05.2011 21:43:29] ND|-Esmeralda.Ramos: Lets hope Jokey will listen to me, huh?
[03.05.2011 21:43:29] [TAZ]Coconut.Tree: Where did you buy those Superconductors?
[03.05.2011 21:43:47] [TAZ]Coconut.Tree: Only time will tell...
[03.05.2011 21:44:04] [TAZ]Coconut.Tree: Wait... I got to stay in character....
[03.05.2011 21:44:11] [TAZ]Coconut.Tree: Only Eris will tell.
[03.05.2011 21:44:26] ND|-Esmeralda.Ramos: *She chuckles* I think I'm starting to like Eris.
[03.05.2011 21:44:37] ND|-Esmeralda.Ramos: Isn't she the ultimate beauty as well?
[03.05.2011 21:45:12] [TAZ]Coconut.Tree: I haven't seen her face in reality... only through vivid images... around the temple.
[03.05.2011 21:45:52] [TAZ]Coconut.Tree: But I'm sure she is.... The one with the Golden Apple always is...
[03.05.2011 21:46:47] ND|-Esmeralda.Ramos: Hmm.. Are there any visual images of her?
[03.05.2011 21:47:03] [TAZ]Coconut.Tree: I'm sure there is...
[03.05.2011 21:49:05] [TAZ]Coconut.Tree: Anyways I'll put up a good word for you... and hopefully the higher popes will accept you in... *winks*
[03.05.2011 21:49:23] ND|-Esmeralda.Ramos: Thank you. I'm sure I can repay you some way if you do that.
[03.05.2011 21:49:49] ND|-Esmeralda.Ramos: I hope the others would like me in the TAZ as much as you do, though. *She looks worried*
[03.05.2011 21:49:56] [TAZ]Coconut.Tree: Unsecond thought... I think there is no hierarchy in our group... only ideas of it... Oh well... I'm confused really...
[03.05.2011 21:50:25] ND|-Esmeralda.Ramos: Hierarchy? What's that?
[03.05.2011 21:50:33] ND|-Esmeralda.Ramos: Sorry, I'm not really Bretonian or Libertonian..
[03.05.2011 21:50:39] [TAZ]Coconut.Tree: Structure of leadership.
[03.05.2011 21:50:55] ND|-Esmeralda.Ramos: How do you manage applicants then?
[03.05.2011 21:51:10] [TAZ]Coconut.Tree: Like I said, *he laughs* I'm confused.
[03.05.2011 21:51:41] ND|-Esmeralda.Ramos: Aww.. Don't worry about it too much, don't want to confuse you..
[03.05.2011 21:51:54] ND|-Esmeralda.Ramos: But confusing you might look good on my resume. *She giggles*
[03.05.2011 21:52:18] [TAZ]Coconut.Tree: You may very well believe that... or believe that it is Eris' work.
[03.05.2011 21:52:24] [TAZ]Coconut.Tree: I believe the latter.
[03.05.2011 21:52:41] [TAZ]Coconut.Tree: *he smiles*
[03.05.2011 21:52:47] ND|-Esmeralda.Ramos: Guess I got a bit of Eris' blessing, huh?
[03.05.2011 21:53:07] [TAZ]Coconut.Tree: If it is her work, then it is...
[03.05.2011 21:53:22] ND|-Esmeralda.Ramos: *She chuckles*
[03.05.2011 21:53:25] [TAZ]Coconut.Tree: Anyhow, I have to consult my Pineal.
[03.05.2011 21:53:39] [TAZ]Coconut.Tree: It was nice meeting you, Miss Ramos...
[03.05.2011 21:53:48] ND|-Esmeralda.Ramos: Alright, enjoy your day, ehm.. Raines?
[03.05.2011 21:53:58] [TAZ]Coconut.Tree: Rain-us
[03.05.2011 21:54:04] [TAZ]Coconut.Tree: Its Rainus. hehe
[03.05.2011 21:54:11] ND|-Esmeralda.Ramos: *She rubs her head* Rainus.. Okay. *She chuckles again*
[03.05.2011 21:54:20] ND|-Esmeralda.Ramos: Nice meeting you, would love to get to know you better.
[03.05.2011 21:54:27] [TAZ]Coconut.Tree: 23's! May Eris guide you to wherever you go.
The lady was interested in our group... I told her to file a resume if she wanted to join. Seems we may have an acolyte in the works.

Rainuss, good to see the Joker is pretty much leaving us to ourselves. Still, don't be afraid to slip him a few goods if he needs them just to keep us in his good graces. The insane have a tendency to switch like a light. Glad you had some good dialogue with him and his people.
Nice work on the recruiting, too.
Bret, I need the names of your ships for the roster....unless I put them up and forgot about it. Let me know.
As for the rest of you, keep up the iridium contract with Daumann as best you can. Captain DeGarmo will keep a watch out for our ships heading into Delta to get it.
I have only recently returned to the Discordia and it appears Executive Officer Storm neglected to report a case from the first of May.
A transport ship made contact with Discordia claiming he needed help to find a station, I will now play the recording of said conversation between the transport and my communications officer.

Subject: Current Events
Yesterday, the completion of [TAZ]Med.Force.Two was done at Corfu shipyard as one of my staff pilots took delivery of the new Corvo Cruiser that will be providing medical in Baffin, the Taus and surrounding systems. While not the big research platform that her big sister is, it will provide quality medical services. The big differences is that since it cannot grow a lot of it's own food and medicinal goods, it'll have to be restocked periodically BUT it will be more mobile. It is currently here on Gran Canaria, undergoing my inspection. I will arrive in Baffin aboard it later. While it is NOT a combat ship, it does have standard armament on board.
Many of you probably know by now that Mal is back but he will NOT be wearing a TAZ ID. He WILL be handling much of the spiritual teachings of Eris at Pueblo so if you see him in the region, greet him. He and his two wingmen are allowed docking rights at Pueblo and are allowed to use our communications array. Mal is, after all, our founding Pope so this is only fitting. He was kind enough to ordain me a High Priest as well so......
Now, I know that in the past I spoke to a member of the Gallic Metal Service who was kind enough to deliver us Gallic Wine and tobacco while taking some of our amulets to Planet Nevers and flooding the market there with them. Did I mention that, last I knew, our amulets are considered contraband by the Royals yet highly coveted there? That is why I allowed it. He smirks
It's my little way of getting some payback!!
Anyway, I still don't entirely trust these people as they are affiliated with the Royals. Allow them to trade but watch what you say and if you have sensitive items on board, stow them so that they can't be scanned and used as proof or something. Word is that the Royals are advancing into Languedoc. If they get through that, the Taus are next most likely so be aware.
Beyond that, keep up the Sacred Chao and let's keep flying.
