Doc appears in his Ambassador's Robes. He is relaxed and calm
Greetings, Everyone,
For the past many years, I have served as a member of the Temporary Autonomous Zoners, having been both Ambassador and Administrator. It's no secret that a short time ago I stepped down due to work and time restraints. I'd like to think that my time in those roles were largely productive but I will say that as time went on, I see people would rather kill each other than actually work together.
My old friend and TAZ founder, Malaclypse once told me, "Doc, you need to keep things in perspective." He said that more than once under several different circumstances. He was right.
Another friend once told me when I wanted to retaliate for wrong that was done to my people, "Doc, you're a man of peace. Don't let others take that from you." Maybe I am, maybe I'm not but that only works when others will let you be.
So keeping things in perspective and trying to preserve an environment to which my humanitarian mission can continue, I have decided to make some changes.
-Effective immediately, I am resigning my position within the Temporary Autonomous Zoners. I have done all that I can there and feel I have nothing left to offer. They will always be friends and family to me but my usefulness there is past.
-To that end, I leave my good friend, Commander Chris DeGarmo, full ownership of [TAZ]Moonstone. You're more discordian than I ever was and you are simply put, a top notch musician. I think you'll fit in well.
-I am expanding Med Force Enterprises into research as well as humanitarian medical missions. All ships will be re-transpondered [MFE, or, Med Force Enterprises. It is my mission to continue their work and to work with other medical and research organizations. This change shall take effect immediately. Commanders Cook, Haddock, Coyle and Schmidt, I expect you too make this happen.
All of this said, I keep my door open. I like my work and enjoy working with others. I hope that some of you can see through indifference and work for positive change in science and medicine.
As to diplomacy, I'll work with groups on a case to case basis and for the time being, will treat all with a level of neutrality. That said, remember my personal mission statement of "I will treat all people regardless of who you are or what side of the law you skirt. Your enemies are your enemies, not mine."
Lastly, I will be basing myself, for now, aboard [MFE]Med.Force.One in the Omega 49 system and my personal retreat which will remain anonymous in location. I will address personal messages from people ONLY, not open broadcasts.

Kallisti Doc!
I must say that the news shock me only less than how much they sadden me. I've learned plenty from you over these years in the Temporary Autonomous Zoners, directly, by heeding your words, or indirectly, by taking note of your work and achievements. I'll always remember the sessions in the Kiva fondly too.
You will be missed dear friend!
23's!

::: transmission aimed at : [MFE]Med.Force.One :::
You know that you are always welcome at the Haven ?
Not only as the professional, the ambassador or the Zoner ?
But as the friend who aided us ? As the person you are, not the function or the name ?
Doreen speaks of you often, and even if we two have never jet met face to face,
I hope you will accept my invitation to the Haven.
By the way :
Just something I found at my last visite to Cortez. It needs an experienced hand to tune it and we offer to set up the room if someone tells us how to place it. Of course I could let one of my mechanics tune it...
Docking registry has been adjusted, and the [MFE]Med.Force.One is welcome any time.
That is... if you can dock that famous ship in House space ? Im not sure about that.

Mr. Dvir (if I read that right),
Mind you, Sir, that whole thing at Shasta caught me off guard as well. I had to use an escape pod to leave myself. BUT, if you must know, this is something I've been thinking about for awhile now. For me to continue my work, I needed a separate entity, one that is independent and that can work with other medical and humanitarian minded groups of an independent nature.
Over-reacting? I was a lousy Priest anyway. I was and am more of a business man and co-coordinator who's best friend happened to be the head Pope of TAZ many years ago. I could hardly fill Mal's shoes.
Fynn, Looks at the Baby Grand and smiles
Those are getting hard to find. I will visit the Haven soon enough. As I here, you could use some extra medical good there. Tell me what you need for them or base materials. Once there, I'll help place the piano and tune it. Docking should be an issue as my supply ship is a Borderworlds Transport.
I hardly take any measure when it comes to Baffin, Its just not my place. But your reputation couldn't possibly be any lower to them I guess? I mean, I hope they aren't pissed at you. Even though I don't know you, I can imagine all the work you have done for them and now you're going to have to see them go down the toilet, I would behave a hell of alot worse then you. If you want a second-home, Please visit me at Omicron-74, I make sure that none of this alien mumbo jumbo has anything of intrest in our place, mainly because I tend to kill them before they even reach us. Corinth has undergone many changes, They could use your skills, It seems that trouble always find us somehow.
