Oh, goodie.

Now, you've stated that dear Admiral Woolsey "authorized" you to create this little forum. I'm just curious as to what else you're "authorized" to do, Sir. Because, honestly, I don't have the slightest clue what your actual place in the SA's Chain of Command is.

Let's assume for the moment that you do hold a position higher than Ship's commander and Public Information Officer. Under that assumption, I will give you your first request.

The Temporary Autonomous Zoners hereby request access through Zone 21 and Alaska for normal, legal, and continuing trade missions.. just like we've done in relative peace for years. As we don't care a whit about your secrets and nomad "experiments", we promise not to peek during our transits.

We will agree to stop and submit to reasonable questioning and scans by authorized SA or LSF vessels, but not by "Joe Blow Bountyhunter" or the "USS Titanic Idiot", or any other gunslinger you might have on your payroll from day to day.

You may consider this an official and formal request. If it's above your paygrade to respond, Capt. Bong, I'll understand. Just be a good chap and pass it on to the appropriate levels, please.

That's all for now. I may have more little "posers" for you at a later date.

23's,
Malaclypse,
for the TAZ
