Linus has got the sense of it, if you caught his post to the Zoner Council comms. Until Admiral Iron Panties gets done PMSing, stay the Thud out of Liberty. Until I talk to Cid, we'll play her little game. You see SA or LSF, give em a nice view of your buttcheeks.
On a happier note, Amnezia Haze's main squeeze, Ricky Ross, has joined our ranks. Give a fine razz to the [TAZ]Golden.Greenleaf when next you see her.
Also, I've got a nice warm itch in my Pineal regarding this lad Mad John. Not sure what his ship's name will be, but let's treat him as one of our own as well.
Thanks to Glen and Nezie for playing doorstops today while the Kana Keiko visited Baffin. The ZR now has a five day extension on that nasty deadline. Hopefully, Cmdr Ice of the [ZR]-Renegade, who represented the Republic in our little talks, can convince all the ZR lads that it's in their best interest to soothe the NovaPG's concerns about bounties and such.
I'll be in Bafin for a few days if any of you need spiritual counseling after visiting dysfunctional families or whatnot. Also, I've got a great remedy for hangovers if needed.
Keep it cool out there. There's some wobble at the moment, but Eris is still smilin'.

Today my fine ship was doing his job as he was meant to do. I started command of ship with nice cop of worm tea, sure did maked my day and cough trouble gone. I took passangers to sigma 19, bout 20,000 of em, ll reached happily destination.
Then i took lot of that radioactive Plutionum to Lazaronze base and gold to Port Canaria, was meant to stop at Sophies caffe, but my hull was all in mes and needed for repairs, so i headed to Honshu and waited at bar till they ware done.....
Then Mal give as a call, so we went to aid in diplomatic issue, wich has been resolved to good i hope...
After such a long duty i decided to take nice warm spa at planet Curacao and call it a night...
Sounds like things are a bit uncomfortable right now with Liberty...
I'll arrange for the loads of deuterium normally destined for Liberty to be diverted to other buyers.
In other news, I woke up in Cortez this morning, with no recollection of how I got there. Last thing I remember is dropping a load of deuterium off to the Golden Crysanthenums...
Oooh boy!! I heard that little XM had a potty mouth. Now I know it!
I hooked up with Alan and XM in 49. And ya know what? The Order's creds are every bit as good as Liberty's, fer sure. We dropped off two fat loads of deut, then popped up to Honshu with some pretty blue cobalt.
Mal I was flyinf thru Cali. Made NY and hit manhatten. On way back out I stopped to watch the fight. Onyx somehow made direct contact and told me drop my crew, so I dropped, hell I'm still tryin to get my seat in my cockpit clean. You gonna tell me I'm gonna say no to a Phantom in a Transport? Not likely. A new one at that? Man I dropped and turned tail. Fight was getting too close for my tastes. Then All of a sudden My sensors BLARED to life. Missiles and torps and laser fire hit from EVERYWHERE. I don't rightly know who shot first, but I am suspecting Ol' Iron Panties Herself. As I made a comment on my way out about being shot in the back, and her reply was maybe... Spose to say boo or something ain't they? Well I got outta there, West Point had gotten word appearently, but when I reached Manhattan all Comms were quiet. I was scanned on my way in and advised for repairs and to avoind going back in that direction for a bit. I docked on the planet did repairs and picked up some cargo. I chatted in the bar with a Liberty pilot and we traded stories till my cargo was loaded. It took longer than usual to get that done as the Phantom had wanted my ship crew. So I fly solo for the time being looking for a crew. Pick 'em up as I go. Can't have just any riff raff on me boat. The guys didn't have a major arguement. Dunno why. I was crappin just talkin to her. They were gonna meet her? Not my problem. I did as told and split. I was almost blown to bits, and I didn't even petition LSF or LN for repair costs. I just ate it for my lack of common sense for being in the wrong place at the wrong time. She can beat her drum, bring me a readout of some scans or something if she wants to further this. I will try to make contact with her and find some resolution, for the sake of TAZ all over. I am sorry to have caused the inconvenience to all. I will address all in the council to appologize to my comrades. But Iron Panties is mistaken, I'm not gonna back from that.

Dear Admiral,
As per our conversation last night, I would be delighted to dine at your table, sir.
Thank you for your guarantee of safe passage for myself and "enemy of the State", Scarrd Cid, TAZ Member. Cid has agreed to depose himself as requested. I will contact you as soon as our flight arrangements and departure time have been determined.
It would appear that the LSF have already put this issue of making TAZ ships "KoS" to rest. Therefore I am hoping that our voluntary appearance in Manhattan will satisfy the Southern Alliance as well, and put an end to this unfortunate mud-slinging.
One last note, Admiral. Cid and I are both quite fond of that "venison", which you harvest from those cute little animals on Planet Denver.
At this time members of the Temporary Autonomous Zoners are to be permitted
entrance into Liberty, however as with all traders and mercenaries alike they must
receive a cargo scan on entrance, and on exit. The matter of the re-supply the level
0 Terrorist organization "Phantoms" pilot is still under investigation and may take
and extended amount of time to reach a complete and through verdict.
Until then please permit all TAZ pilots entrance under the same rules as any other
neutral or lawful pilot, this is in the interest of keeping please and maintain good
relations throughout Sirius.
I now ask the TAZ to please move with us forward in the interest of peace and set
a standard by which we can all operate. I must apologies for the lateness of this
communication, personal matters arose that took priority.
Woolsey Out.
Personal Addendum: Malaclypse you are requested dine once more at my table, and at your discretion.

Richard,
Sufficient, sir. Entirely sufficient.
I accept your apology for the humiliating treatment I received at Manhattan the other evening. Let bygones be bygones.
Scarrd Cid is quite chagrined regarding the furor he may have caused, whether the allegations are valid or not. Unfortunately, it is highly unlikely that the Phantom in question will respond to a subpoena from you, or even to polite inquiries from the TAZ regarding this matter.
I will direct all TAZ members to keep their various noses clean while in Liberty space. If they do not, then it may be a race to see which of us shoots the offender first, sir.
As to the possible "Zoner Love-in for Christina" that I mentioned in private comms, perhaps we will just hold the event in Bafflin', rather than New York. I'm sure the vibes will reach Liberty from there just as well. She certainly needs them.
Dinner... I'll check my appointments book and advise you. Can we still have the venison?
