Set Condition "Prickle Prickle".

(By now, you are fully aware who the "Prickles" are.)

Effective immediately, Baffin is locked down. All TAZ vessels not involved in defense or evacuation of Gran Canaria are ordered home. All other ships entering Baffin are to be stopped, inspected for possible Coalition infiltrators, and turned back if their answers are not sufficiently shiney in regards their dealings with the Coalition.

I am shocked and appalled by the violence perpetrated by the SCRA fleet while evacuting its Enclave on Gran Canaria. The Temporary Autonomous Zoners hereby unilaterally declare the Revolutionary Army of the Coalition as hostile.

I have received word from Spike Harris that the [TAZ]Crater.Lake was able to gain control after being severely damaged in the SCRA attack, and managed to set down at Alan Kell's lake of the same name. Spike and Kate and their crew are shaken up, but unharmed.

Shamus, the Flagheap will remain on station at the Omega 50 hole until all TAZ personnel are accounted for and evacuated from Port Canaria.

Fowler, lock up the Cafe. Spike, effect minimal required repairs, and then get our people out of there.

Mad John and Matrix, find Mama Dis and any CoZ Delegates who may need a ride home.

Appendix Gimmel predicted this, dammit, but I was too blind to foresee exactly what form the prediction would take. I will be in the Geode consulting the Goddess if needed.

Cover your butts,
Mal
