Kallisti all,
We've just responded to the call of bringing supplies to Freeport 9.
Here is the list of supplies we've brought:
In addition to the supplies, I have brought an entire medical section from the Baffin Research Institute in Shasta.... they will assist in, in anyway possible, giving medical attention to those in need.
With that, I'm afraid we will be staying for some time to monitor the situation.
Eris end this madness.
23's!
~~Yours in Eris' Helpfulness~~ Professor Louis Carlisle

Kallisti, Professor,
I don't know that I've had the chance to speak with you yet. I command [TAZ]Med.Force.Three and we are stationed at Freeport 9 providing medical service and keeping watch over the TAZ medical staff here on station.
I hope we can work together and perhaps have dinner and get to know each other a bit.
Decision has changed. The most important conspiracy brought me back, i only cannot speak about this, as you all know: they will hear everything. I am now illuminated with a ring of fire and hope, wearing an amulet will help me to survive. Sirius is no safe place, if noms kill noms...

Mr. Bergman, glad you're back. We need to keep things lively here in TAZ and you're a big part of that.
To everyone, I found this transmission: To All TAZ
We need barge pilots to help our friends in the GMG. A few escorts would help too. I'll be out and about this weekend.

I'm stuck on Gran Canaria for awhile as the fighting between the Corsairs and Revolutionaries commences. I'm in no mood for pleasantries for either of them if this is how they wish to act. So, here are a couple of orders for all TAZ and yes, if someone asks, you can say I ordered it.
-No food to Crete.
-No travel into Omega 52.
-No one, and I mean no one, sides with any group in Omicron 74. I think the ZA crew is a very lost one but we're NOT getting involved. Trading in system is OK but keep your guns quiet.
-Don't test me right now, you will lose.
Maybe this can be interesting? I was talking with a guy i know since some time. He is a member of the brotherhood, yes, of the Corsair brotherhood. And while i was doing my nice silly talking with him, i was able to make him more talkative, than it were good for him. At least i heard two things.
First: the Empire has some kind of ally with the Gallian Kingdom.
Second: it seems the Empire uses the ZA to avoid the trade embargo of the Zoners.

I'm not surprised that they're using the ZA to get around trade embargoes. I've seen video of the two working together. Besides, they'll use the Farmers Alliance out of Kusari for food.
As to the Gallic angle, could you get me more on it? It would be useful.
Depending the secret friendship between Gallia and the empire i only know, that it does exist. I will try to find another too proud and talkative Corsair, maybe i will be able to get more answers. But i can´t promise anything.
And then, how to act around GC: we can bring some of our warships to the planet and fly patrols there to prevent people bombarding the surface or doing military supply.
If we have to shoot on another ship, we should only try to banish them. If a ship is leaving the area, we should not shoot anymore. Our only interest now can be to help the people on GC.
Another thought: Pope Brettonias will start some talks with the Mollies to help us if needed. Still 49 is their backyard. But we should not only speak with them. Bretonia for example is involved in a way too. But i would prefer help of the mollies, they are more trustful in my view.
The SCRA: we need 52 as a safe corridor for our ships to supply GC. The Corsair space can become hostile to us. So i would like to see someone talking with them to give up any warfaring around our planet. If they see, that we Zoners are able to deal with the ground military and the empire ships, - i am sure, they will look on us with other eyes then.
A last thought: We are no militarists, we are not able to win a war. But we need to defend our people. So if there is ANY chance to stop this war without using weapons, we should go this way. But our presence maybe can help to make the Corsairs more reasonable again. Also we can help the free press to get more informations about the war on GC. Whatever they will do with it - the Corsair dream of getting a trustful house - well, this dream is over then.
The issues with GC are very troubling. The corsairs and their secret relations with Gallia....
very vexing. Carl makes a good point. Few of us have enough capability to fight effectively against more combat proficient groups.
Few ships in the TAZ fleet are geared for combat. The 'Fearless' destroyers and 'Conference' Gunboats are probably the most capable ships available, and i suppose a few of the 'Aquilons' could be coverted into warships, but we couldnt fight alone.
Perhaps put a call out to any other zoners to see if they can assist? though perhaps not to the ZA.
