Hey...This comes thru tell the ol' man I be back in action. I'm runnin' back and forth the greediest runs I can find. Got me an itch to have a billion credits in me pocket by the next rainy day. I got most of my [V] ships in usable positions, if they are needed. Got a fair bank in Baffin for any of the Penials that need it, Sven keeps a man around the bar to cover it. Sven is in the Omegas last I heard, Hired on a new pilot or two as well. There's Vanguard, a Claw awaiting reassignment, currently in Cortez, and a Crew and Captian for the Force Ex, which has been re-outfitted with an IMG Gunship, last seen in Theta. The rest of my vessels are at your disposal if you need them. I know I've been the invisible man, but I'm still out here, poundin' the stars.
Distracted mumbling is picked up as the comms are being killed.....
Maybe I'll get lucky and you'll actually get this. Wish Pidge had finished fixing these blasted com.....
Well, I for one am one happy camper. Between Sophie's pies and coffee, oooh and ice cream, I've gained three pounds in the last few days. Fyre, I know I haven't been in close contact with you, Sis, but I promise, I'm in good hands and we shall catch up upon my return to Baffin. I've given the crew, extended leave with pay while Tadpole is refitted (got a great deal on some nifty AI componets). Bru, Keep on with Casey Jones, I know your hard work will afford you the time off you are aching for. And yes, Bru, I think it is a fine thing that you are helping out fledgling pilots, just don't dip too deeply in those generous pockets of yours. Also, I agree with Fyre, if either of you run across that unfortunate pilot, Scrappy... do take care of him.

*Holy crap, BatMal!
*Scuttlebutt is that the Harveys got down with the Colonials in 15 today! How are your sources within =CR=, boss? It's not like they need any TAZ help, but backscratchin' and fleapickin' seems to work well for you slopedomes.

*You rock, Shandy! The "taste" program you sent me is scrumptious, but i've been spending whole minutes basking in this "aroma" therapy thingie! I'm leaving it up on FnordNet for all the gals.
*Oh, and using the data you provided, we've managed to find several active Harvey bouncing betties. They'd be a piece of pie to 86. Now keep me in the loop too, Shamus. Logs cc'd to me for possible use if we need to involve the Council (with Mal as TAZ spokesprimate, of course.)
After being blown to smithereens by the young and the reckless, arrived at FP4 to play RP roulette. Blew a few Z storage depots to get to white. While looking for the double honker, got kicked into space. It's a might cold out there.

Welcome back, lads. No lack of excitement in your absence.
We got shiney new Pineals aboard.
We got a new protagonist who lives in a box 30K beneath Gammu's surface.
We got an expedition goin' to either unlock that box or close it for good.
We got a license to export all and sundry from Kusari.
We renewed our license to herd nomads in Bretonia.
We got rhythm, we got music.. who could ask for anything more!

Mal

Thanks for the detailed update! Things have been chuggin', along eh?
Anyway I've been taking advantage 'o the Freedom of the System up in Kusari... It's everything you say and the local Flatfeet have all been just sweet as Mom's whotsit! TAZtastic!
Just a small clarification please tho, if you could consult with yer Pineal... Do we have a license to operate Nomads innards, entrails, domes and other detritus through Liberty as well as Bretonia? Just wanted to be sure before running the Greyface Gauntlet!
Once again, your Pineal picked a good one! This new lad Maethos is sharp as a tack. We got his new shippie, the [TAZ]Heartmox up and runnin' in no time. Paperwork done, laid out the "milk run" for him, and chatted a bit about Discordian Catmachism.
I'm layin' over in Manhattan to buy more pie tins and some new decorations for the Cafe. Give me a shout if ya need me.

Ooooh!!!!!
Today I sighted a Merc Cabbage with a hold full of Zoner pilots. The ship's callsign was "Theseus".
Sighted near Freeport 6. When I confronted this Merc tosser (lvl 57 with Police tag..), he answered me with typical primate monosyllabic grunts.
Hopefully he jumped into the pot himself by alienating himself with our beloved comrades and Freeports; but if not, I suggest he be parboiled and used for saurkraut.
23's,
Sophie Noir, TAZ
Oh, and a short note to Joggin.. no bluefin tuna in Liberty, bud. Thud, why would you want to visit that monkeyhouse anyway? Smoochies, S.N.

Greetings allies of the Order.
As you may know, a group of Order ships known as the OTF have been spotted throughout Order space in recent times. However, now the Black Squadron Admiralty has had enough of the crimes of these persons and has sent them a dire warning stated here:
We hereby ask our allies in their assistance to bring down these spies or imposters or whatever they may be. When the time is over, Order ships throughout Sirius will open fire on the OTF vessels.
I thank you for your understanding and for listening. If you can, please respond to us.
The Black Squadron Admiralty and the Order thank you.
