Kallisti Popes and Popesses!
I think I know what all this trouble with The Order is about... Let me tell you some things. After some time living by the Persephone's Holy Motor, I recollected really interesting evidence about it's mysterious engineering. It was then that I decided to try to up the bets a bit.
What Pope Carlisle defined to Admiral Golanski as the "Khaostone" is really the very golden apple Eris used to porvoke the first war among men, The Original Snub. I recovered the relic during my voyage to Sol some years ago. It had been resting in the caves of Shasta ever since, until I decided to make a test. I managed to merge the relic into the Persephone's Holy Motor, and she was invaded by a golden glow which felt a lot like Her, Goddess, Eris.
What I know suspect, and it supports old theories of mine, is that The Order may be right...
What if Eris was of K'hara origin? What if The Original Snub is indeed an alien artifact?
I am making plans to extract the relic from the singularity motor and sneak out of Baffin and into the Omicrons to investigate all this where these entities are easier to find. I will find the answer at the very source, and anyone willing to join me, pack up with haste, we are departing soon before The Order can lay hands on our warship's motor.
Yours in Eris and 23's,

Kallisti!
This is an urgent message to all TAZ. Gypsie and I are taking The Original Snub out of Baffin. I already spoke with the SCRA and they are taking us in at Omega 52. Professor Carlisle and his guard are joining us. Some of you may want to come too. If so please, bring small spacecraft, gunboats or smaller, it seems we'll be breaching a blockade so discression is very important.
Yours in Eris and 23's,

Be safe out there. I can't guarantee that I'll be alive when you get back. Malaclypse built Baffin and I intend to make sure it remains Discordian.
In any event, bring back some of that Coalition Vodka. If I'm still breathing, I'll toast with you.
I really doubt that your death is in Goddess scheme for this particular turn of the Wheel of Chao Doc. If I'm mistaken though, and it comes to that, let it be known that you have always been the man that the occasion demanded, and never disappointed a single one of your friends. I do believe nevertheless that Goddess will prevail in the end and we shall all feast together under the dome again my dear Pope. All hail Eris! All Hail Discordia!

We haven't had the pleasure to meet yet. I'm Mr. Momomoto, in charge of Dr. Mojo's transport squad. He mentioned something about an irresistible urge of yours involving an Omegas commodity and it being a matter of life and death. I happened to be at Gran Canarria when I recieved the call. Let my delivery report speak for itself.

Doc's pod connected in the Baffin ice field with his favored yacht, [TAZ]Ambassador's.Ark. Walking through the airlock, he me with the commander of the ship, Nichole Schmidt.
"Good to see you again, John. Where to?" she asked.
"Cassini System, Foster Base," he answered, "And make it fast."
He took two steps to his quarters, "Oh....and I'm not here. Got it?"
She just smiled, "Got it. Call if you need anything."
With that, his ship began the trip to Foster. As he reviewed coms and TAZ postings, he noticed the new Penterbarf. He understood the Order being on it even if he didn't like it but Moebus? He shook his head in disgust. "I'm sorry, old friend."
He sighed as his head began to ache, "I need some rest to think more clearly. He locked his door and turned in.
I have to report a case of an individual breaching the Pentabarf on multiple accounts. Specifically the following:
3) NO Shootin
4) NO Ignorin'
In addition, the individual question was caught attempting piracy, admitted of conducting piracy, caught destroying a trader for not complying, and attempted to use lethal force against a Pope of the TAZ. (Specifically me, but luckily I managed to get away.)

The individual in question has been piloting a T-833-GB "Ahoudori" Kusari Explorer, flying by the callsign "Shikaru", equipped with mostly CST-G1 "Solaris" Gunboat Turrets, the pilot herself is most probably a Kusarian female judging by her voice, accent, and use of Kusarian terms. I sadly had to flee from the scene of the encounter as in a fighter I couldn't do much against the gunboat. Luckily the pilot of the destroyed vessel is safe and secure, no injuries could be seen on him, but has been sent to the med bay to make sure he's all right. Visual evidence and logs are attached.

You need not to worry anymore about that pirate Pope Andrew. The Apple Corps were diligent in teaching him a lesson. All hail Eris! All Hail Discordia!
