Kallisti Discordians,
I haven't been introduced to most of the people on this channel yet. My name is Theodore Sturgeon, but you can call me Theo. Me and my sister Hela are nowadays flying some of the VanGyp vessels. We are here to serve the Erisian movement in Sirius, as commanded by Dr. Hodge VanMojo, as you named him some years after we met the Apostle.
As the captain of both of the VanGyp Consortium trade vessels, I have today fixed course to Dresden on the Hakim Bey Border Worlds Transport to buy some of the high temperature alloy that TAZ must ship to Freeport 11. We managed to get to the destination and deliver the goods with no problems.
I attach the report for confirmation of the transaction.

Subject: The Orbs of Chao are safe, and nothing else matters
Dear Popes,
It is a sad new I bring today, because peace has been bothered, and it is my fault.
I was flying to Omicron 74 today, through Kusari, when a Naval Forces vessel belonging to the Kempeitai asked me to drop some of my cargo. This samples I carry are only what Goddess asked me to get to prepare for the full hit of Verwirrung, along with the Five Orbs of Chao. I decided to proceed and dropped all the illegal cargo (not before explaining the religious motives for me to hold those) but refused to handle the Five Orbs of Chao.
I explained that we had got those by the guidance of our Goddess, and nothing had to do with the 'nomad power cells' he kept mentioning. He insisted and told me that I could be killed so I came to an agreement with him. I told him I would hand the orbs in the frontier of Sigma 13 and Honshu. When we arrived there, I tried to escape smoothly to Aomori but it was impossible, he had my engines locked and I could not cruise, so after some time of dead engine propulsion, and me refusing to comply, he started firing at me.
Now I want to make clear that I was on a cruiser, the Fifth of Discord, and I could have taken him out easily, but I did not want to do it. So instead of firing at him at full power, I decided to shoot only supresive fire so he had to dodge and could not target my ship so well.
I made it safely to Aomori and am waiting instructions from you, since I know I screwed it somehow. But I wont hand them the Five Orbs of Chao. Sorry Doc, sorry Mnemosym.

Great. Just what we needed.
Have Kusari pissed at us just when Gallics are already giving the zoners in the Taus a hard time.
What in the name of thud made you enter in house space with a cruiser?
You disappointed me, Van Mojo.
You should know better.
I don't know what John or Triton will think of this, but you can bet they won't like it much.
Personally, I'd advice you to contact right away Kusari authorities and try to plead your cause.
Maybe if you do so they will be gentle enough to not kill you on sight next time you cross Kusari.
This is a serious matter, Mojo. Next time you mess up like this, i will have some templars hunt you, find you, and force you to eat synth paste while listening to my daughter singing.
Until you collapse.
Twice.
Am i clear? As crystal? Good.
Now let me know if you need help regarding this...

If your receiving this then I have entered the code that I have left for good. What is contained is a full disclosure of my function as I was among you.
I am an observer for a group of people who have a faith. Not quite like ours.. No.. Whom I have always felt closest to serve gods that speak to us directly. You know them as nomads but for us... they are treasures and honored advisers and spiritually perfect. I was a Zoner as a girl.. my family lost to a series of devastating raids by corsairs... I had much anger back then and Eris helped me through that... But Eris did not bring me justice.. The divine did. The spirits did.
So.. As the oracle suggested. I joined them for a short time confirmed my faith. I was .. relived to find that membership and studies in the pursuit of knowledge here was open and free and for that I express my gratitude. I've met many friends here.. And As I move to the next step. Rushing to aid the Family I feel closest to. I feel loss for those here. Especially the Ai's and a few others. For the majority I will feel my passing will be un felt other then pressing concerns that I may have been some outcast spy.
I did no sabotage or.. subterfuge here I was to be and act faithfully for you. and for the faith. I felt the losses as everyone felt and was as surprised as everyone else about the... Minor incident. But in my heart I must feel the Divine had purpose in what was done. As I learn details I may pass them along.
I felt I had to come clean as to where and what strings pull me away. The oracles embrace many outsiders... one of these wayward beings have betrayed our trust for a year and this is why I am called to replace him. I have experience to replace this ... sudden "loss".
I couldn't formulate this letter easily. I do wish I had known more of you. However you will always find kindness from me.

Kusari hasn't sent any word of this to me yet but I'm not happy. First of all, what were you doing flying a cruiser in Kusari proper? None of the houses allow it without advance permission and even then they're a pain.
The Taus are a fragile place and I don't need it getting worse.
Hodge, you are to remain at Aomori until I can get clearance to get you home.....under escort. Between you doing this and Bret firing at Valors in Bretonia, things are getting out of control.

Kallisti Meat-made masters!
This message was just to inform Doc that I was contacted by a freelancer who claimed to have some 'hypnotainment bands' for him. I told him to come to Baffin and he handed those to me near the Coronado jump hole. He said that they were produced only by some group which he referred to as 'Corse', and offered himself to enter Gallia to fetch more if needed. This particular delivery contained 10 samples of said product.
I flew to Shasta and gave the items to a representative of Med Force Two. I hope that patient JhC gets better soon.
I also flew to Omicron 74 today to deliver some Kyushu rice to the Omicroner's base.
