Alright...
But still, the 'plan' is still happening, even if the people on the Med.Force.One can cure it. I have volunteered myself for an experiment: placing a human brain in a robotic body (an AI drone fighter, to be precise). The person doing the experiment, an Optimusjamie, has promised that every measure has been taken to ensure my survival. I have full confidence in him, even is he can be a bit mad at times. He says this is just a 'proof of concept' test, but I'll decide when it's happened.
Annette out.
After a long wait, the reinforced armor plating for the negh'var has finally arrived and has been installed. As the negh'var is now fully outfitted for battle, we have moved to the Tau-37 system and are now standing guard over Freeport 10. So far, we've seen little combat, which is a good thing. We did have a pair of bounty hunters (//NPCs) fire on an Outcast gunship. The hunters are now in my brig contemplating their misdeeds. They will be turned over to Freeport authorities when we dock.
As a point of interest, one of the Freeport residents took this image from one of Freeport 10's biodomes and shared it with us. I thought some of you might be interested. I'm having a large print made to hang in my office.
Also, Doc, I need to ask a favor. As you're no doubt aware, my Chief Medic, Doctor Ch'drak has had a long and distinguished career. His assistant, Doctor H'ohk has *ahem* assisted in Ch'drak's honorable retirement. This is the way things are done, and Ch'drak died well. By right and tradition, H'ohk is now our Chief Medic. There is one problem, however. H'ohk is an incompetent yIn'tagh who cannot even properly administer an injection, let alone preform surgery. Normally, I would just execute him and get a proper replacement, but there are few enough of us left, and we need every Klingon if we expect to survive as a race. Would you be willing to take him aboard Med Force One and train him properly? Also, I'll need a competent medic to run things here until H'ohk is ready to return. If you could suggest one, I'd appreciate it.

Howdy friends.
Just a quick word to tell you i met Mal (the captain of Le_Mallard ship, not our Epsikopos Prime). Always nice to see this guy around.
Also, i received a communication from a Junker ship; callsign .:j:.Rocinante. The captain said he had a delivery for sir Holiday waiting in Gran Canaria.
I'm currently taking a break at Lanzarote. The bartender has not so bad beverages there after all.
That is all popes.

To: All TAZ
Subject: New Pilots
Well, TAZ we have a couple of new pilot joining us. The first one is Mr. Maik.Lehmann and he hails from somewhere in Rheinland. He is an experienced fighter pilot so if you see him in his Sabre, give him a good, hearty, welcome. You may find training with him of value. Look for [TAZ]maik.Lehmann.
Also welcome Alexandria Storm who will be flying [TAZ]Arashi, a Conference gunboat. She hails from somewhere in Kusari. So give her also a nice welcome......and a bit of room as she likes to roam.
Thank you Doc, well .. i hope i may call you Doc? Or do you prefer i'm calling you Ambassador Holiday or anything similar? Nevertheless, hello to all TAZ members!

This will be a tad short, we've just gotten back from exploring some pretty dangerous territory. Getting repairs, restocking supplies, etc.
I'm Alexandria Storm, captain of the Conference Class Gunboat, Arashi.
The Arashi is armed, I've found having weapons helpful when exploring the unknown, but has been modified to have a top end sensor suite, and some additional computing power for processing and archiving the data we collect more efficiently.
That data is currently being uploaded to FreePort 9.
I plan on giving my crew about a week of R&R, as our next trip is gonna be longer, and further out. Hopefully all will go well with that trip, better than this last one.
Well, you can find me on FreePort 9, eventually working my way to the bar, after all the other multitude of other things that are required to get a ship ready for a long journey.
Oh, and FreePort 9's generosity in repainting Arashi's hull is welcomed. Newly designated [TAZ]Arashi

Howdy.
Today we supplied some Deuterium to Ames with Sidhe. It was a nice trip. We were escorted by Alexandria and a freelancer called Vince Pryor. Nice boy.
As we were flying to Ames he told us some parts of his childhood, full of fist beating. Entertaining.
Now i have to discuss about something important :
As i docked to Ames, i went to 'Old joes' bar to take some *coughs* drinks.
But guess what! Old joe refused to serve me and took his broom and chased me out of the bar!
*Gabriel makes his angry face*
This is unacceptable! I hereby request Old joe to be added to the ennemas of Eris!
*You hear Saaz's voice in the background : *
Right. Someone refuses to give you a drink cause after some time you start to do a mess in the bar and try to pick up every lady who has the bad luck to be there.
So sure, let's add him to the ennemas list.
Saaz, silly you! Those communications are supposed to be private! I'm talking to my popes friendos! Move out of my room!
*Gabriel tries to calm down, then speak again*
We separated after since Sidhe was willing to ship some *cough* Counterfeit software.
After some time i provided some Deuterium to the Order. I met the Admiral Staite who escorted me. I offered her some drink at Freeport 11 bar :
Quote:[TAZ]Tau.Ceti.Central: Greetings. Are you an Order pilot by any chance?
OHC|Ailuros: Yessir, order high command admiral in fact. How can I help the zoners today? [TAZ]Tau.Ceti.Central: I see. Excuse me to bother you, but i would need an escort. I'm currently shipping some Deuterium for the Order.
OHC|Ailuros: hm... [TAZ]Tau.Ceti.Central: Would you have by any chance some pilots available?
OHC|Ailuros: I can spare a bit of time for it. You're in delta, yes? [TAZ]Tau.Ceti.Central: Aye. I'm near the freeport
OHC|Ailuros: will be there soon [TAZ]Tau.Ceti.Central: Many thanks Admiral.. hmm. What is your name sir, if i may ask?
OHC|Ailuros: ma'am, Kaylee Staite [TAZ]Tau.Ceti.Central: Damn comm unit. My apologies lady Staite
OHC|Ailuros: not a problem, figures there's a nomad gunboat at the jump right as I come through [TAZ]Tau.Ceti.Central: Aye, lot of tentacle beings activity nowadays uh? Your job gets harder these days i heard
OHC|Ailuros: yep, especially with the corsairs coming after us now [TAZ]Tau.Ceti.Central: Oh? That's quite surprising. Didn't heard anything about that
OHC|Ailuros: guess a few dissenters in their leadership decided the alliance with the order wasnt worthwhile [TAZ]Tau.Ceti.Central: Engagin undocking sequence... Ready to go ma'am Sir! Hmm, Well it's quite weird. After all you provided them many assets, such as the Osiris Aye?
OHC|Ailuros: yep, just makes our job harder when people choose greed over purpose [TAZ]Tau.Ceti.Central: Eh. We zoners have to deal with that sort of things a lot too...
OHC|Ailuros: at least the zoners hold fast when a deal is made, rather than backing out [TAZ]Tau.Ceti.Central: It's Eris will in the end ... so can't avoid it. When we can *laughs*
OHC|Ailuros: I havent been to the goddess geode yet, I need to take a trip there some day [TAZ]Tau.Ceti.Central: Requesting Jump clearance ma'am
OHC|Ailuros: cleared, go ahead [TAZ]Tau.Ceti.Central: Sure we would be happy to greet you there
OHC|Ailuros: I hear it's beautiful [TAZ]Tau.Ceti.Central: Aye. That's a nice place. Course set. We're lucky so far uh?
OHC|Ailuros: looks like it. Just those nomads i ran into at the jump [TAZ]Tau.Ceti.Central: I wonder what is going on really. Never saw such activity
OHC|Ailuros: luckily the ailuros deals with those well enough [TAZ]Tau.Ceti.Central: there we go. Requesting docking clearance to Isis my dear
OHC|Ailuros: you're cleared, tau ceti [TAZ]Tau.Ceti.Central: Cheers. Alrighty, i hope this Deuterium will help you my good sirs
OHC|Ailuros: Can always do with more fuel and supplies, thanks for the trip
Salvation: Wallace: It is much appreciated.
Answerer: I thank you. we will put it to good use. [TAZ]Tau.Ceti.Central: Uh. Could you escort my ship back, if i'm not asking for too much?
OHC|Ailuros: sure thing [TAZ]Tau.Ceti.Central: Cheers
Answerer: we shall assist you as well. [TAZ]Tau.Ceti.Central: Setting course... thanka! engagin jumping sequence... Bounties everywhere
Answerer: we get used to it.
OHC|Ailuros: it's the sairs i'm not used to, keep letting my guard down around them
Answerer: we shall bring you to the freeport, Ceti. [TAZ]Tau.Ceti.Central: Many thanks sir
Answerer: my ship is weak but i shall help you if in need. [TAZ]Tau.Ceti.Central: I would like to give you some gifts when we're near the freeport. Unknwon vessel. Please stop shooting inside the NFZ. There we are. So sir. I would like to give you some Gallic wine. Share it with the Admiral would you?
Answerer: unfortunatly, i cannot accept. [TAZ]Tau.Ceti.Central: I insist!
Answerer: I am due on duty. [TAZ]Tau.Ceti.Central: Oh, that's unfortunate. Very well
OHC|Ailuros: well, no drinking and flying
Answerer: i must go. [TAZ]Tau.Ceti.Central: But remember i owe you a drink!
Answerer: good luck, ceti.
OHC|Ailuros: but I'll have a glass, I dont pilot my ship, hehe [TAZ]Tau.Ceti.Central: Safe travel sir. Admiral, would you accept some Gallic wine for you and your pilots?
OHC|Ailuros: heh, cant give any to my pilots, but I'll gladly take a dirnk; the privileges of being captain [TAZ]Tau.Ceti.Central: We could go to Freeport bar, he got some good ale. Unless you're on duty
OHC|Ailuros: no, I had planned to park here for the night [TAZ]Tau.Ceti.Central: Very well. Let's meet in the bar then. *Gabriel enters the bar*. Bartender! Give me your best drink. And one for the lady as well. Errh... Admiral lady that is
Nice lady!
Have a good day popes.

I gave Yaoquizque an escort today, and discovered my Transponder was acting up. I made my way to Bethlehem Station, where I had it checked out. I was informed it was tampered with. Backtracking where I've been, where someone could have tampered with it, will be difficult.
I've had it completely replaced. So hopefully I won't have any IFF issues any longer.
I have sent the escort payment to the temple fund.
Alex
