Bonjour.
My name is Julitte Pascal and i'm the commander of the Fae Wing. We are an independent group of mercenaries specializing in the protection of private properties and the escort of merchant ships on the border and edge worlds. At the moment, our wing is looking for a home base within the Tau systems. Our choice fell on Baffin. Your system is isolated from intruders and is rumored to be perfectly secured. Moreover, some of my people are very interested in learning about your faith. We have also heard that your church has gone through hard times, so in return we offer you our services. Whether it's a security activity or a bounty hunt. Or would you prefer a different fee for this?

I should have known that it wouldn't be long before the carrion started flying over the warm body of our Cult. It is still kicking! My personal apologies if you indeed come in good faith. Actually, let's pretend you do, for the sake of this exchange of words.
I'll cut to the chase. Infrastructure development in Baffin has never been an issue, and permission has never been ours to give out for such endeavours. On the other hand, those who have tried have met extreme excommunication in the past because of the vermin they towed with them. You say you are a group of mercenaries. We've worked with mercs before, in our Pentabarf's bounty board for example. But I have some concerns regarding the upholding of the No Fire Zone in Baffin if you bring your business here. It could attract some unwelcome attention, and if that happens, there's only one conclusion: you will be held accountable and your enterprises will be exterminated. If you believe that no fires will be shot, go ahead, knock yourself out. But as soon as I hear that someone got hurt within the system, you'll soon be diagnosed with a severe case of antimatter cannons aiming to kill.
well, well, a deep meditation took all my attention, therefore sorry for the late answer.
well, while Eris in powerful wisdom decides if thinx stay or not it is on us to do or dont. as pope skripto pointed out installations like the the one you want in the holy space of Baffin always causes problems. one way or another. furthermore as followers of the path of discordianism but thats another story.
well, pope skripto gave you somethin inbetween yes and maybe under this circumstances i have to take the no part regarding your request.

Your terms are very fair. We agree to the No-Fire-Zone terms and will soon be settling down on Goddess Geode, on Shasta. We hope we won't give you any trouble. Otherwise, we are ready to receive the punishment we deserve. Fae Wing will prove that we can be very valuable allies. As for me personally, I want to visit your temples and understand your faith. Perhaps any of you will give me tours and lectures?

Understood, young'un. Destroyer [TAZ]Schrodinger's.Cat has been deployed at Shasta to monitor your activities. Stay safe, and don't forget to say a little prayer while you're here.

My associate Helena Agrippa informed me that she made contact with yours. Splendid. Looks like punishment is not in order. Unless you were flirting with me, in which case I must warn you I take the word kinky to a whole new level.
I never dreamed of flirting with you. Of course, I am always open to new interesting acquaintances, but what would be so impudent? This is not my style. Has Helena already told you where we are going to build our base in the future? We decided to call it "Disharmony Outpost" so that it does not get out of the general concept of your faith and does not anger Eris.
well, that escalated quick. ladies, gentleman, machines and beings of all kind calm down. there is no need to argue.
when if eris wanna rage in anger, she will do so. no matter what i, you, pope skripto or anywhat wants and wishes. its just a warning. history lesson learns that every attemt to start an adventure like this ended in horror. if Eris starts to throw tons of rotten flax upon you while barfing onto your console its not our fault. you have been warned. please believe me, Eris can akt very unfriendly!
furthermore, there are reasons for decisions. as servents of Eris its our duty to keep baffin peaceful. your attempt to build a settlement is a nice compliment, thanks for that. unfortunatetly, we are not able to allow that, cause this brings rotten cabbage and ended bad in the past. imagine the follow, a group not so chachacha with ours plans the same within a 3k range near your settlement? baffin is peaceful because there are not such settlements. besides the necessary.
nevertheless, as long as follow the the Pentabarf you are always welcome in baffin.

Pope Waldermar, don't be rude. We should extend the benefit of the doubt. It's not as if we didn't have the tools to dismantle their operation if it resulted troublesome for the peace in the system. They seem receptive of our warnings so far.
Mistress, that is a shame. Perhaps you would give me a second chance once we are able to have a drink or five at Disharmony Outpost. Loving the name by the way. Tell you what: why don't we make a pact, like in the olden times, so we have guarantees of each other's good intentions? You shall send one of yours to join the crew of my ship, the Telemakhos. I'm in dire need of a new gunner, so please choose someone with that profile. If things go awry, we'll make him eat the guns. If things go smoothly, perhaps I will have made a new friend!
I see that there is some uncertainty in your organization. I hasten to assure you that the station will not become a haven for a para-military organization. We plan to use it as our contact office, trading station and research center. Nothing more. As for the crew member... I'll talk to my guys. I think it won't be a problem to find a volunteer.
