Message: to Black Squadron High Command
Comm ID: The SPS Store
Dear Sir or Madam,
This is to inform you that a mail drop has been leased in your name by an anonymous party. Apparently this party has had some difficulty in contacting you recently, and hopes that by providing you a mail drop, he may actually find out if any one is home. Your bill of 20M creds for the first year is paid in full.
Thanking you for choosing Sirius Parcel Service, (not SirEX!), and our subsidiary the SPS Store, for all your shipping and mailing needs.
Sincerely,
Ignatz Malatowski, Manager,
Toledo SPS Store
Message to: DBoy, Commanding Black Squadron
Comm ID: [ELF]Eris_Ascendant
Subject: Appreciation and Mystification
Greetings, DBoy. Malaclypse of the ELFs here. Not sure If you were in the loop on this one, but the ELF has been patiently waiting for the BS' arrival to begin Peace Negotiations here on Gran Canaria. Three matters have changed that:
1) The recent resignation of WolfPack and your new promotion. We don't know you from Adam's off ox. Can you forward us your resume?
2) It appears now that diplomatically, your Faction Status board shows the ELF as neutral. We do after all have a couple of common irritants here and there. In truth, we're not really sure if Wolfpack ever got around to a formal declaration of hostilities.
3) We're bloody tired of hanging around Gran Canaria contemplating our navels. If and when you would like to have a chat, chew the fat, or even start a spat, give us a jingle via your new (leased) SPS Store mailbox! We'' be there with little ELF bells on!
The comms are a-buzz with the admitted fact that you, sir, were involved in an engagement against one of our vessels. In fact, you 'put aside' your differences with the SSO in order to do so. Sticky wicket, that.
I'll wager that you were engaging the Apple Corp's 2IC while stuffing your gob with the cordials I sent over to cement our friendship.
You've put me in a very delicate position on this one, DBoy. While the E.L.F. may be considered as rather "quirky" in our methods, we pride ourselves in honoring our commitments to those with similar goals. Your cavalier abrogation of a commitment to us is therefore very painful.
Had you indulged yourself in our second gift, your Pineal gland might have produced a brief flicker of uber-thinking which would have resulted in second thoughts about such a breach of etiquette.
The Catch 23's damages have been repaired out of Church coffers. I believe it took all of one Friday's donations from our congretations throughout Sirius. (We give the money we save on hotdog buns to Eris.)
The full might of the E.L.F. is watching you, sir. Another incident of "forgetfulness" on your part will not go unnoticed. Same goes for your fleet. If you choose to side with Anerists and ragtag skinwearers a second time, I can assure you that Eris will not be amused, atall, atall.
You'll find it much easier to respirate if you don't stick your cranium quite so far up your rectum next time, Commander.

And I have never shot at an ELF after friendly status was declared. I suggest checking your sources.
And we are at war with SSO. We went temp neutral with them for a day. Then war was declared again.

Dboy, Dboy, Dboy,
I thought the circumstances were made abundantly clear in this most excellent SF Action Report by Commodore Badger himself.
I especially found this part interesting:
Quote:Present in the system to defend Bretonia were the [SF] Battleship Sierra, accompanied by my own Gunboat as usual. Also on hand were two fighters from the [IND] Escort Wing, the sso| flagship Hand of Payne and fighter escort, Admiral of the Bs| DBoy (sso| and Bs| hostilities were set aside) and also a [Mandalore] Bounty Hunter looking for some action. The ELF vessel had truly stepped out of it's depth and so had decided to hide-out amongst the vast vacuum that is our home.
So, good Commander, I think you can understand my distress and uncertainty regarding the incident. Any clarification you can provide will be welcome.
Ok to Badger. Yes Bs| and SSO went Temp neutral for a day to work out our differnces.
WE NEVER MEET IN SPACE AND NEVER ATTACKED AN ELF.
The same day I chose to screw going neutral with SSO and to go back to war.
Mala read the PM I sent you and you will know the whole story.
And Badger what made you think I was there to defend. I was just trading, and I run in to you guys fighting, So I try to settle it peacefully and it didn't work so I continued trading and let you guys work it out for yourself.

Peace in the Valley again. Goddess works in mysterious ways, my friend DBoy. Oh, and regarding the SSO Payne thingie.. he'll be tied up for awhile.. doing repairs. We practiced a little "Trick or Treat" action on he and his lackeys last night. Bloody good fun!!!
Looking forward to an exciting Halloween!
(Oh, and sorry about that cranio-rectal insertion crack earlier....)
