It is accomplished. My meeting this day with the Chief of the TAZ revealed many wondrous and miraculous things, O Chief.
I believe that the end of this terrible plague now lies within our grasp, thanks to the kindness of this strange group.
Our afflicted brothers must be moved as soon as possible to the Baffin System. Once there, they will be required to stay at a specified location for a period of weeks. They will need food, water, and blankets to sustain them for this time.
I am proceeding at once to Montezuma to begin preparations. I can carry less than three hundred of the victims on my vessel. There are several hundred more who will need transportation, as well as the supplies for all of them. We will also require escorts to ensure our safety during the voyage, and to keep watch in Baffin while our people undergo the healing process.
I will await word from you regarding the arrival of our brothers here, and the scheduling of our convoy to Baffin.
This is tremendous news my shaman. Yes ... yes ... begin your preparations. We will begin our trek within the next two weeks. We must prepare our citizens which may take some time. We will most likely need to hire outside Nayehiya to bring our citizens to this magical place.

I have some good news items to deliver to you this day.
1. Shaman Ganagati has discovered a cure for our people. This is most promising indeed. Make preparations for our sick. We must triage our sick to make sure those who are most severely ill are treated first.
2. New technology are becoming available to us. Take some time to examine your ships. Some equipment and weapons are becoming obsolete and will need to be upgraded. Some ships may be phased out and will need replacing. Pay close attention to this and make adjustments as necessary.
3. We have received intelligence of new systems with new worlds being discovered. We will need to send our scouts to gather information about these places. There may be additional resources available to us.
4. We have entered into a formal alliance with the Hellfire Legion. Please check our status page regularly so we do not make the mistake of firing upon friends and neutrals. This alliance will gain us a stronger foothold in Liberty space. We may be able to reclaim our old homes from those who have been oppressing us.
5. It is unfortunate that we must purchase our own lands back from those who stole it from us so long ago. None-the-less, our purchase of the Cassini system will solidify our presence and provide our people with strength and let the houses know that we are more than renegades. We are gaining strength my brothers and sisters.
Over one hundred of our people have been totally cured of this terrible plague. I visited Baffin today, and examined them thoroughly. Not only are they free of the plague virus and its' symptoms; but they also seem to have been cured of other afflictions as well. The old have gained new strength and vigor. The young seem more vibrant and eager for knowledge. Even eyesight and hearing have improved in some cases. This geode the TAZ have discovered is truly a miracle, and their Goddess has smiled on us.
We must move with all possible speed to acquire transport for our remaining victims. Supplies will also be needed. I pray that we can arrange this very soon. Our hosts, the TAZ, seem willing to assist; and I would suggest you contact their leader to confirm this.
Chief, once the plague is no longer a threat to our citizens, I will no longer need such a large ship for research and infirmary duties. I would like to rejoin our warriors in their quest to feed and clothe our people, and I can care for their spiritual needs just as well from the bridge of a smaller vessel. I ask your permission to make this change. As we are now on better terms with the Hellfire Legion, I will begin my search for such a vessel in Magellan, with your blessing.
I am saddened to hear that the SA and LSF have hardened their hearts to our Nayehiya citizens and warriors. I do remember once when I was offerred aid by an LSF ship in California; but it appears that they have turned away from us to appease the blood thirst of their SA cohorts. I will be watchful, Chief.
My Shaman, by all means acquire the ship and equipment to rejoin our effort. I too wish the LSF and SA would be more tolerant, or at least less aggressive toward us. But as you have said, theirs is one of blood-lust. There is no thought in what they do. They call us criminals, yet they kill without reason. They hunt us and mount us as trophies on their mantels.
With the LSF and SA operating with such a strong arm, our plans may be more difficult. We can begin moving our most needy to Baffin. But I feel we may need to assess the LSF and SA intentions more closely before we begin our mass migration to this pool.

As we move back into Liberty and regain our ground, it is time to reclaim our identity. All [N] vessels will trade in their Pirate ID for their new Liberty Rogue ID. This ID is found at Buffalo Base in New York. Do this as soon as possible.

Ganagati has informed me that preparations are complete for moving our people to Baffin for our cure. This Sunday at 2200 GMT, we will begin moving our people to Baffin to receive their treatment. There will be several trips between Montezuma and Baffin. Prepare yourselves for transit as the trip may be fairly long. We do not expect any trouble but to be sure we will have a few escorts aide us along the way.
Take only what is necessary for your stay in Baffin. We will be using whatever freighters and transports that we can muster. Do not expect the luxury liners our Liberty elite ride in.

Chief, the TAZ should be able to supply over 10,000 berths per trip for your afflicted. Reggie's whale, Linus' BW Transport, and John's Firefly are already alerted and making way to Montezuma. More may RSVP when they receive this.
We should be able to provide several escorts as well.. and will have pickets stationed at Curacao and Shasta on standby, including the TAZ-Mal.
I've received word that further light escorts might be available from a Rheinland Shipper's security contingent. I believe you know who to call concerning that possibility.
I've also contacted an old friend in Kusari. Hopefully he can light a fire under a few Kishiro and Samura Captains to provide donations of food, water, and other supplies from the North. Further provisioning can be carried out by TAZ members during normal trading through Baffin.
May he Sacred Spirits of your People and the Goddess Eris bless and watch over this momentous undertaking.
I am sorry I was unable to assist in the transfer of our brothers and family to Baffin yesterday. I had urgent family matters to attend to.
I trust all went well. I await your report of the events.
I will travel to Baffin as soon as possible to check on the condition of our afflicted citizens. My hope for their cure at the TAZ's mysterious geode planet remains high.
Good news my shaman. We managed to move nearly 30,000 citizens to Baffin. The TAZ were most helpful in providing transportation. Another friendly Zoner who is known as Meiun kept Liberty entertained near Los Angeles while we conducted our operations.
Our operation was uneventful with a few exepctions. I tracked one Corsair Huntress from the Magellan jumphole until he finally departed via the Manchester gate. Approximately 20 minutes later, Tohi Adedi arrived to transport the final group (including 300 of our most critical citizens). Soon after, two fighters affiliated with Synth Foods (chefs we presume) escorted us on our final convoy to Baffin.
With the majority of our citizens in Baffin, we departed with the most critical to Omicron 74 ... to the Zoner Guard research station located in the distant clouds. We should know their status within a couple weeks.
Here are some snapshots our photographers took during our trip.
