It's time I put the cards on the table, and perhaps an end to this little "shadow show", which I no longer find amusing.

The TAZ are no longer interested in being the "Oppressors", which we never bloody were; and we're tired of being the "Keepers of the Code", which we ain't; and we're tired of being the punching bag for some obstinate, obtuse, planet-sized blockhead computer who won't believe that we don't have his damn code.

What the TAZ does have, gleaned from a dropped Harvester Beacon by on of our Fnordettes, is a simple "shutdown" code, which puts a single "Harvey" into an auto-dock/auto maintenance sequence. If it also puts the occassional Harvey into a "strange loop" that allows it to be controlled, I wouldn't rely on those results.

Now, to address this farce that the TAZ are concealing this "Alpha Code" from the Zoner Community at large. Whatever "code" is supposedly "oppressing" FTGW and his minions is for all intents and purposes lost in the dust of Sirius history. It's a myth. FTGW.. you don't need some bloody code. You're merely using it as an excuse to "oppress" the damn TAZ. Get over it. Get on with your "life", and leave the TAZ alone. We intend to leave you alone, from this point onward and forever. We will no longer give your "crusade" credence and validation by interacting with you or your "units". We're done. You want "Scornstar/Pyrial back? Fine. I'll deliver him personally at a place and time of your choosing. Do what you will with him.

OK.. holopads ready.. Here's the "deep, dark" secret that you've all been clamoring for. Use it as you will, although my suspicions are that you'll get the excuse that it's now somehow "corrupted" or "invalid".


Code must be used in visual contact;
Code must be transmitted over a private comms channel;
Code must be transmitted exactly as *****THE CODE*****

That's it. That's all there is to the mystery. It's entirely your choice what to do with it and how to proceed; but it's time it was common knowledge.

FTGW.. The TAZ at least will now pursue our path of Spiritual development, neutrality, and perpetuation of the Zoner Way. Other Zoners may run about and deal with you in whatever way they see fit; but the TAZ will no longer entertain your delusions. Good luck with your "evolution", but the TAZ are no longer willing to be the "chip on your digital shoulder".

To the Council of Zoners. I hereby move that Malaclypse 666 be given a vote of "No Confidence", and removed from the position of "Chairwarmer". I also move that nominations and elections for Chairperson be held immediately, or that the Council should cease to exist as an advisory entity to the Zoner Community.

Tired of the Crappola,
Malaclypse,
for the TAZ
