Chief, the TAZ should be able to supply over 10,000 berths per trip for your afflicted. Reggie's whale, Linus' BW Transport, and John's Firefly are already alerted and making way to Montezuma.
We should be able to provide several escorts as well.. and will have pickets stationed at Curacao and Shasta on standby, including the TAZ-Mal.
I've received word that further light escorts might be available from a Rheinland Shipper's security contingent. I believe you know who to call concerning that possibility.
I've also contacted an old friend in Kusari. Hopefully he can light a fire under a few Kishiro and Samura Captains to provide donations of food, water, and other supplies from the North. Further provisioning can be carried out by TAZ members during normal trading through Baffin.
May he Sacred Spirits of your People and the Goddess Eris bless and watch over this momentous undertaking.
Heya pops, heard you got some fun picked out fo' them Nayehiya. Gonna get eris to do the hocus poke us an' force the fleas to flee? Honourable as ever pops. I'll see if I can swing by, but right now a rather nasty looking Hogosha fella has it in his head I owe him some flax for a bet last night... bloody casinos... I'll get my hide back to the temple soon enough. Save sum Cog Nac for me.

All hail Eris!
Mal, you have have noticed that "Stoke" and "Bec" have been out of action for a little while.
No, we werent undercover in Rhineland, preaching to the primates and demanding complusary church donations. Unfortunately, I was cruising through Cambridge about 11 months ago when the main reactor in my famous "Hippy Ship" blew, and I was forced to land at Cambridge RS.
There, the terminally grey-faced Bretonians decided that they had never seen one of the "quirky Eris lovers" and proceeded to interrogate me for a little over 9 months. Savages.
During the interrogation, they stated that they had turned my "Hippy Ship" into little bits. Nasty beasts.
They were talking about disecting my pineal gland so they can learn how it is that only certain people recieve the blessings of Eris.
Fortunately, I managed to escape for the "crazy ward" on Cambridge RS and procured a small unarmed shuttle.
There I flew to New York to the quiet little Comms Center and here I am rattling off a message to you Mal.
Stoke, reporting in. Ready for turnip wine and reading to make the unbelievers hail Eris.

Stoke!!
Well, bless my hairy primate butt! Fair dinkum! We lose one son of the Southern Cross, but we regain another! Eris works in mysterious ways, her miracles to achieve.
A lot of water under the catenary traffic device, Stoke. Your [ELF] tag is a sight for these sore ol' eyes, but it's a bit dated.. we've been through so many bloody incarnatiions.. [ELF], [FSFP], (and Fernando Poo is indeed a reality now.. we just call it "Bafflin'"!), [~V~], in honor of Reg's place on Canaria and all the outrageous events there, and now just [TAZ].
So, if you're still a Discordian, but are willing to undergo the crashing boredom of being a Zoner, then you still have a home with the Temp Auto Zoners. And the other F-troopers will be tickled titanium taupe to hear that Rebeka is back!
Give us a shout when you're ready to blow that Liberty popstand, Lad.. we'll give you a tow to Baffin. The boys at Shasta have arranged special pricing on Kushan Freighters, and there's one with your name on it.

So, 'bout that evac. Went pretty well, I think. There were a coupla problems with the Rogues around Monty givin' my BWT loads of nice, hot, fiery kisses, but nothin' major 'till I had to go past LA. I tell ya, never bribe a Molly, it'll screw you three ways 'till Sunday. Nearly got spaced with 3500 souls onboard thanks to the Yukon an' a roaming LSF battleship patrol.
There was some excitement when the Huntress showed up, but the Chief kept an eye on 'im and nothin' came of it. 'Fraid I ain't got any pretty pictures to compare to the Chief's, but that's alright. We got those folks to the Geode, an' then sat down to drink some coffee.
Oh yeah...an' Eris still loves me. I know 'cuz she told me so when it took me 'bout half an hour to get undocked from Shasta. Heh. All the bumpin' and grindin' spooked poor Kali, though.

Well, folkies, a few items to mull over while you're drinkin' Reggie's fine Oro.de Special Dark:
It appears we may have to add the pirate "Demonica" to our "Boil on Sight" list with that other cabbage Telicaster. He was shootin' at our good friend Daniel in the Feenix.Shipping. Shady Syl gave him a sound spanking yesterday as a lesson, but be advised he's out there.
I've received word through Sophie, who knows damn near everyone it seems, that the new =CR= may be crackin' down on contraband. Watch yer butts in the Taus, folk. The Episkopos will have to disavow any knowledge of your trading habits if you get nailed. Now, I'll leave it to your discretion on Eris' previous directive re carrying Principias. I intend to keep my personal copy. Consult your Pineals.
No pics, Linus? Well, it just so happens that Reggie and I got a few of our relief convoy. The Nayehiya plague victims are perkin' right up. A few hours a day in the geode, and lots of Sophie's pies fresh from Canaria seem to be doin' wonders.
Here's the candids,
Have a perfect primate day!

Re: Slave Transportation
Recently, we located a TAZ aligned Zoner in a Firefly class transport carrying slaves through Rheinland space. Said transport did not stop when requested. Rheinland has also recently increased its punishment system for known smugglers in Rheinland. First offence: 8 million credit fine and destruction of goods (barring pilots/slaves), second offense: destruction of ship and goods (barring pilots/slaves).
You're transport [TAZ]Sophie.Noir is being fined a total of eight-million credits unless you can explain why a Zoner is carrying such contraband through Rheinland space and ignoring requests to halt. It better be good, and it better not happen again, ever.
Refer here for reference of Rheinland's laws. They are simple.
