As our Beloved Administrator is at home caring for Midori and the new Hollidays, I am pleased to welcome our newest Discordian, Adonis Malak to the Flock. High 5's!
Preparations for Verwirrung Fest are proceeding nicely. Raffle ticket sales are picking up, and I will shortly venture forth to show off the Grand Prize.
Remember Popes, the more coverage we can provide that weekend, the more we can show our support and gratitude to Sirius. (And the more fun we can have!)
I am still awaiting the Duel of the Decade, between Dr. VanMojo and... Dr. VanMojo.
I am also still expecting a contrite response from our resident harridan Mnemosym regarding a reconciliation between herself and our beloved Concordia.
Add to that Temple Desecrators and new Enemas, and it has been quite a day.
Mnemosym was furious.
She was walking in the corridors of the station, stamping the ground as if she wanted to punish it for being there.
One of the 'elders' of the sanctum was trying to follow her. He was attempting to talk to her while struggling to stay side by side with her.
The woman was blatantly ignoring him and he finally stopped her holding her shoulder. "... Off!" "Wait on..."
She suppressed a groan of exasperation. "Talk, Idiot." "Do you really think it's wise?"
She didn't reply and simply looked daggers at him.
"Right. Let me tell you what I think" "Talk and sod off" she said, resuming her walk.
"Eris... Hey Mnemosym! Stop!"
He forced her again to stop. Looking into her eyes he then said, annoyed. "By Void's daughters.. Are you out of your mind, woman?!" "Why do you care." "Why do i care? -Why do i care?- Damnit."
He looked around and noticed they were close to the biodome.
The man then took her by her arm and dragged her there, ignoring her offended recriminations.
He made her sit and faced her, crossing his arms. "Now what is your plan, hmm? Enter there and insult him?"
The woman remained silent while eloquently staring at him. "Eris, Mnemosym! We're talking about the Episkopos Prime here. Do you have any idea how much influence Mal has?"
She opened her mouth to speak but he raised his arm. "I do not care. I don't bloody care how much you think he offended you. We will certainly not let you endanger our projects for some misplaced pride, you hear me?"
"Hmpfff..." She just said, crossing her arms and looking away.
He glanced at her unkindly. "Is -that- clear?"
The woman sighed and finally mumbled an indistinct yes.
He rubbed the nap of his neck and sat near her, sighing. "Hell... You scare me at times. Your blood is quick to boil."
She gave him an hard-hearted inquisitive look. He sighed again. "Now be nice Mnemosym and keep your head low. Do what the Episkopos tells." "Fine!"
She stood up and left the biodome like a tornado.
The man didn't follow her. He was recovering.
As she was walking, a wily smile appeared on her face.
She didn't need to feel sorry. She just needed to make him think she really was.

It's been a grand morning here at Canaria Medical. Midori woke up this morning and briefly spoke with me. She's still quite weak so she fell back asleep but at least it's not of the comatose variety. I can breathe and work a bit easier now.
Mal, I made the update on the Penterbarf as requested. Do you remember what type of ship that was? Always nice to provide the info for those who may hunt them. If not, no biggie!
Concordia, when you can, we need to chat. I don't know that I will make it to the Open House but if not, please make a trip to Canaria.
Wonderful news, Doc! Give Midori and the new tadpoles my love!
As to "Cyrax".. it was one of the new generation of LH snubs.. I'm guessing LF or HF.. a bit too zippy to be a boomer. Whatever it is.. Rubber Rose time!
I may be a bit busy in the Kiva this week.. nothing worse than crotchety old Doctors, eh? (Not referring to you, of course, heh.)
But, I shall definitely have my ducks in a row for the opening Fireworks next Friday.

I see that we have a couple of new acolytes around here. Congrats to them. What I need is for them to send me something so that I can properly log them. You know, call sign, what your flying and of course, your name. It would be much appreciated.
Concordia, what we need to talk about is personal in nature. I'll most likely send you a private transmission.

Concordia, I can understand how you might feel sad with sick people looking for help. I just want you to use better judgement is all for the reasons I gave you. Besides, we have a pretty good medical set up on Shasta that includes [TAZ]Med.Force.Two. I don't mind you referring them for help but just not on that matter...not now anyway.
Xavier,
I noticed that you are planning to meet Alice DeFrance. I'll be blunt. I don't like it. I don't like it one bit. I don't trust her. I figured with the comments that Matok made that we would be done with it. If she has gone rogue, just what I don't need is her sister deciding to punish us for harboring an enemy or something. She already has it in for me so I really don't like the idea of throwing fuel on an already burning fire.
He sits back for a moment, in thought, tapping the middle finger of his right hand on his desk
But I do trust you, Xavier. I made you my deputy ambassador for that reason. I'm going to go against my instincts on this and step out of your way. I will be monitoring the proceedings. I am also placing these restrictions on you:
-the meeting is to be conducted in space, away from the Superhighway and away from Shasta, Sedona and the Temple. I don't want any of there ships being able to run scans of our stations.
-Any TAZ ship that has Gallic pilots on board or information on Gallia in their nav systems or their cargo holds will be kept at dock. I do know that the Frons.Versus carries both.
-You will keep an escort with you and two body guards as well AT ALL TIMES. You are too valuable to me for an assassination attempt or something.
-No apologies will be offered from TAZ as we owe none nor do we accept one from her on Aurelia's behalf.
-Of course, no deals without my approval. If I must, I'll fly out myself.
Sorry to be an ass, Xavier, but I smell deciet and even a trap. I also want you to keep a sidearm hidden under your robes. If she says anything, I ordered it.
