Dear Applicants,

With our deadline fast approaching, (less than 3 hours by Sophie's clock), we at 1st Flax find ourselves in a quandary.

In the past, our grants from the Q Fund have been limited to 6 Million credits, for the purchase of a small transport and a few basic accessories. This was stipulated by "Q" when the Fund was first established.

Sr. Dominguez' request has already been processed and honored. Welcome to the "Q" Club, Carlos.

We recognize the recent enormous effort by OsoRojo and his confederates of the Southern Alliance to raise the money necessary for the Deed to Virginia (don't hold your breath...). In fact, we see this as a sign of their indefagitable spirit and love of Liberty.

For this reason, we are calling an emergency board meeting of the 1st Bank of Flax.

Be it proposed, that an exception to the conditions pursuant to the "Q" Traders Memorial Fund be made for applicant OsoRojo. Be it also proposed that he be commended for his efforts on behalf of his personal beliefs and his loyalty to clan and "country".

Votes please,
For Warbucks LLC: Reginald?

"You've brought a tear to my eye, Soph. You constantly surprise me. Aye"

For The Church of Eris Esoteric: Malsey Walsey?

"Give a bloody small fortune to a bunch of struggling, Aneristic Loyalists?? Snort! Aye! Hail Eris!"

Thank you, Mal, you softie.
For Laughing Goddess Bakeries, a limited Sistership: Discordia?

"He is just soooo cuddly! Right, girls? Aye! But, we want rides in his new barge!"

That's enough, you randy Orb.. It's a blessing you don't have a body!
For the Free State of Fernando Poo, who stands? .... No one? ... Oh, Silly me, we don't have a leader. We're "all" the leaders. Okay... TAZ! Beau, you're it. speak up!

"Um, me?? I can't even decided which nostril to pick! Sure, why not. Aye."

And, as General Manager of 1st Flax, I would normally vote only in case of a tie; but what the heck.
The vote is unanimous. Meeting adjourned.

Congratulations, Squire Oso. You may pick up your Flax at your convenience. Planet Curacao.
And thank you, "Q", wherever you are.

Sophie Noir
General Manager
1st Flax

*(And there you have it folks. The penultimate example of Mal talking to himself. Now will someone please lead me back to my padded cell?)*

Oh, and it's midnight somewhere in Sirius. The Bank , and the Fund, is now closed. Lock it up, Shamus, and hit the toilets real good tonight. Pops has been in La-La-land, and hasn't been aiming worth beans.
