Interesting reading there, Doc. I'll throw it out to the Flock for general discussion. I do know that Gaian Wildlife is right out.. Reggie's Gaian hottie would never allow us in Hope's Haven again! Not much interested in human organs and such, either. Carrying Baffin Scrubbies to market is messy enough, eh?
It occurs to me that all this recent licensing, taxing, and restricting is an ominous sign of a rising Hodge. For that reason, the TAZ will do its miniscule part to buck this trend, and allow the Chao to wobble back towards center.
Effective immediately, no password for general access to Baffin will be required. You have done stellar work in raising Pineal awareness, my fellow Discordians, and Eris is well pleased.
All visitors must still observe the "Bafflin' Pentabarf", and we will still restrict access to Pueblo Bonito and the Temple to our TAZ brethren and to bonafide Zoner Guard, but both Shasta and Sedona stations will be considered as complete Freeports. The demand for Pineal Amulets and our homegrown Baffin Scrubbies (aka organisms) is growing, and we can use the business.
Chime in on the broader "war materials" license with BPA. Do we need yet another piece of "Offishul" paper hanging on our ships' bulkheads? If so, the Temple Fund will cover the damages, Doc. No need to spring when the Flax is flowing, sir.

Licensing with the BPA for "War Materials" is reasonable enough at ten tons for the flock
and I'd certainly take advantage of it. Baffin access restrictions information acknowledged.
Gallia is still a widely unknown land of rumors for me so I'll be staying clear for the time being.

I don't transport animals so that's a non-issue for me. I never thought running livestock in a freighter was a real smart idea. I mean, what if we have compression failure or something? I think anyone who runs that stuff needs their pineal examined!
I do transport military vehicles and arms so that will help out. Thank you, Shamus, for covering that.
And fear not, Mal. I have found L'Dubois to be reasonable. Since I'm the only one who runs into Gallia space right now, I've been tailoring that deal. They are supplying me with wine which I cannot get. I leave some at Shasta and the rest goes to Denver at over $10 million flax per run.
Oh, one question. I'm currently setting up routes in new areas and have found myself in Yukon. Where are the holes that end up in Gallileo and such?

It was nice flying with you today. I do hope we get the chance to do it again. I'll be sure to bring some tobacco to you on my next run in from Gallia.
Just a simple announcement that the Vor'cha now has it's own com channel so we will no longer need to run everything through Doc's console. Right now it's only has audio transmissions but my new communication's officer is a fast learner. He'll have the video and holographic end of it running soon.
Mal, we are at FP1 monitoring the cap ship ban there. If you need us or want us elsewhere, let me know. For now, qa'plAH

Heya, Mal,
If I can catch you in private at some point, I have some intell you should hear about. No, nothing disastrous is going to happen but it's good info to know.

Currently, the Vor'cha is moored at Gran Canaria after a bit of a pursuit yesterday. Several reports came in from the IMG about Phantoms being in the area destroying mining transports. Being the closest ship there, we made way from FP1.
On our way, we were joined by an IMG gunboat who decided to assist and the [OPG] Dauntless also assisted. When we got to Canaria, we swept the system but found the Phantoms to have left the area. We briefly pursued them into Omega 47 but didn't stay long as they were no where to be found.
Feeding us some good intell was [TAZ]Warren Peace so thanks for that help, Bro!

So here I was, sitting down with Madori over a nice dinner when I see something about how Bretonia is going to start monitoring us closer. So, I dug a bit deeper into the issue and find this: http://discoverygc.com/forums/index.php?sh...3107&st=310
It seems that the Queen is again saying that Omega 3 is Bretonian space. How does she figure? I see her corset hasn't loosened up one bit.
And as far as what cargo we're carrying, I think Bretonia needs to focus on what to do with it's war with Kusari.
* a soft voice asks Doc a question in the backround*
Dear, I'll explain later about that.
*slams fists on table*
And they wonder why I don't care for them!
