So, is there a *shudder* policy on approved ships or sumptin`? 'Cause I'd really like to try out the Spatial, which in my opinion looks to be all a Zoner ship should be - sturdy, no-nonsense, and fit for the edge of known space. Also, a real beut! So, canna havit? I found a barely used one, but the seller seems twitchy, tics and stuff. I wanna buy before he decides to sell it to the scrappers.
Beware the Purple Oyster!

I'd like to register another ship, since my more martial skills are not always in demand. I plan for to procure a transport or freighter and dub it [TAZ]Tradin'Seb, to use when the demand for violence is low.
oknok?

I have been forwarded information about this threat to Baffin by Abraxus and gigantus. I will be moving Kieth and Lance to asssit in protection of the Baffin sector. Kieth is in a bomber, that could change. Lance is in a RavenClaw. They will be outfitted with Military ID, and NO tag. These forces are a private affilitation. We are soldiers, not traders or mercs. We have a deal with Cid, from your organization. In exchange for my guys retriving his baubles and such, and for help in defense of Baffin, we get help in finding a way to get ourselves home. I also have ordered Pidge to move to Shasta, and offer his expertise on alien technology to aid in understanding the Harvester issue. My details on that subject are limited, but Pidge has extensive experience in decifering and understanding alien technology. Being from a different star system, everything here and in the other systems we've travelled have been alien to him. He has never failed me. I expect him on Shasta by tomorrow afternoon. If you wish his help, let me know.
As for the interlopers, issues of seek and destroy have been issued to all other [V] Vessels, systems wide. If they are seen, I will know and they will be hunted.

Right then! The offal has hit the oscillating ventilator at Gran Canaria, mates.
We've got a bloody big Harvester Battlewagon sitting in 49 taking potshots at Zoners and blockading Port Canaria. I expect there may be more of these units arriving within the next few days.
I've been putting off any preemptive action, in hopes of gaining some useful data, but we've lost Canarian lives already because of my decision, or indecision.
Put those traders in drydock for any overdue maintenance, folk, and break out your heavy iron. Chop chop to Canaria, and outfit for a dustup.
And if you've gotten friendly with any Indy Zoner out there who can hit a target, send em down too. I'll be damned if we'll let this "First Thought" brain suck any more of our Brethren and Sistren!
Oh.. and "Festival Security"....? Are you ready for seconds on dessert yet? My treat!
Roger that, I will be relocating to -49 ASAP.
Note though that in the way of anti-capship, I'm somewhat limited (minirazor|sunslayer) although the soaking capabilities of the Spatial is nothing short of awesome for something that, um, nimble.
(lookie, shining new callsign!)

We ain't having that kinda invasion into Canaria! I'm jumping into me Indy Zoner Destroyer (wouldn't want to burden the TAZ with the sort of tasks this baby has to do)..But it's nice and shiny, prepped (ID, IFF) for Zoner work , so, Im popping over to GC to lend a hand. Piggin' Harvesters arn't gettin' away with this.
But let me know if ya want VHF support instead, Mal, I got me zippy mate Zen_Clipper in Reserve...See ya'll there
In case you haven't kept up with all the burbling on the Zoner Council Comms, Shamus and a handful of other ships, both Zoner and sundry, successfully repelled an impending bombardment of Canaria by the Harvester Juggernaut, Scornstar. A big "K!" to all involved.
I've stopped off to visit the "Green Hell" on Islay, at the recommendation of some Gaians I'm acquainted with. A very interesting venue, to say the least. But I'll be making my way to Canaria shortly.
The Harvesters will be back, fellows. Keep your powder dry. *Hic*
I will send over a bomber and a gunboat, you said a Juggy? Never seen one outside our own forces. Where in the blazes they get that? Who in the bloody hells sold them.....oh wait. They are harvesting...don't make hulls right....nevermind, but I guess I'll check and see if theres a Cruiser willing to swing out as well. The captain likes to hunt, maybe I can arrange it. Well I will let you know where I'm at when I figure it out. Don't count me out if ya can't reach me, I hit mute all the time and forget. But I'm still here.
