Topic: Bounty on a zoner
For your information: Today I set up a bounty on a Zoner ID:d vessel, after it repeatedly and willfully damaged Freeport 9 and risked the lives of everyone at the station. Details available here. Why is suddenly everyone and his retarded dog shooting at Freeports? I'm telling you, I'm beginning to see Illuminati in the shadows.
Sadly,
Seb

In light of recent events around FP11, we have decided to patrol the area. Besides, it's always a challenge to fight Nomads. They are quite worthy opponents. If there are any issues and we are needed, let us know.
I have not seen one damn threat by any Zoner in this little AoF diplomatic foray, Are you Corsair boys sure you're not dipping into the orange sauce your enemies love so much..?
I have seen chest thumping and obscene propositions (Sr. Gentle, ever here of Lorena Bobbit?), from the Corsairs, but that is only par for the course lately.
The Corsair concept of diplomacy is for the Zoner Council to kiss their hirsute behinds at the slightest provocation.
Well, I don't speak for the Council, but I do speak for the TAZ. We won't be puckering up any more, hermanos. Find someone else to kiss your behinds.
As of this moment, no TAZ vessel will enter, cross, violate, or even look crosswise at any Corsair space.
Oh, and my "funny Valentine", Vince?... get your food from the bloody Harvesters, for all I care. Probably more to your kinky tastes.

Well, I made my usual run today via Omega 47 and Omega 41 before I saw this. I even made a food shipment to Crete. With all due respect, Mal, this does kind of screw things up. We can't run Deuterium through Bretonia space and now we can't use the back door either. Furthermore, it'll be kind of difficult to run Nomads and nomad brains through to Cambridge like the Vor'tcha does. I know the Corsairs can be a bit brutish but I'd like to see us, at least, make some kind of resolve. I do apologize if this upsets you but it's just how I feel.
The only "resolve" I wanna see is for the Cretin (sic) knuckledraggers to get it through their thick skulls that the TAZ are Zoners, but that Zoners aren't all TAZ. Now, how hard is that to comprehend with half a bloody Pineal?
You can tell Matok to find another delicacy. I hear Kyushu mud weasels grill up nicely.
Eris whispered in Mal's left cauliflower ear. I suggest you kowtow for now, or find another mob.
I have the pleasure of informing you that our Mal, is feeling much better, at last check, the temp gauge was with in normal tolerances, and rest assured the malady has subsided. I would urge you all to exercise respectful stances while conducting business as usual and do not draw unfavorable attentions toward our endeavors, the flax must flow and we shall all endure.
In spite of recent unfortunate flare ups, our disposition remains the same as always. It must be emphasized that our interests are best served with cool heads and cooperation with many factions. Personal differences may exist, but they are but a drop in the bucket of the whole, when compared to the alternatives.
Sister Fyre, does send her love and affection to Shamus, and others, but her duties to Mal keep her at his side. She will, of course, follow his direction, and that is all that is to be said on that matter.
Mal is very much exactly where he needs to be, in full control.
Let us together breath a sigh of relief and I'll leave sufficient credits at the bar for any and all who would care for a drink on me. I've also asked for a bottle of prune juice to be kept at the ready for our Klingon friends.
I think there were some confusions earlier about Mal's post to avoid corsair space. Let us not confuse Gamma, which is decidedly Corsair space, with Corsair ZOI.
The back door, Doc... is still open. We maintain a FP in that sector so there is no outright claim or legitimate reason why we should not make use of it, likewise, theta. There is no reason to assume that areas of Corsair activities or sectors of shared base locations automatically means exclusive space for anyone, save home systems.
Conduct business as usual, but avoid Gamma, per Mal's directive until further notice. As my sister pointed out earlier... cooler heads shall prevail and we shall insure our interests are pursued in the appropriate manner. I'm having a drink... anyone care to join?
