I am Skarsi Wyrdmake, Pope of the TAZ. and you are very foolish.

While on a routine patrol of Baffin, i found your illegal base.

You have made a grave and very costly mistake. Building in Baffin is outlawed. You have angered Eris, and the Popes of the TAZ as well.

So your base was utterly Destroyed.

Before the rest of your punishment is determined, i demand to know why you thought you could build a base in Baffin, and why you thought you would get away with it.

Any attempts to rebuild will be met with the full force of the TAZ Defence Fleet.

You are already on very thin ground, consider your response carefully.

~Skarsi Wyrdmake

Cpt. "Sea Dog" Francek speaking.

Mr. Pope Wyrdmake We are sorry for breaking the TAZ law. OSSC is a new and fair-dealing company and we didn't know that building a base in Baffin system is prohibited.
But,
Your immediate destruction of the base was a bit unfair. You could have at least contacted us before destroying it as we had crew and cargo on it. The blood of the innocent people is on your hands. Moreso, the purpose of the base was merely to admire the beauty of the Baffin system and the sanctity of the planets Hodge and Podge.
Once again we apologise for the incovenience, but we expect an apology from you as well for the previous reason and for calling us foolish.

OSSC board of directors

*Skarsi reads the reply from francek, then punches the nearest wall, narrowly missing the orderly standing there*

*He goes to the comm console and composes a reply*

I said "You are already on very thin ground, consider your response carefully." You obviously have not heeded that advice. Your expectation of an apology is evidence enough.

The fate of the base is what it deserved. You will not receive an apology.

As for the crew, the blood of those that died is on your hands for making them complicit in your crime. the few survivors my ship picked up, will remain until they have served their time.

Take heed of this. From this point onwards, OSSC and its ships are Banned from Baffin Space. Any found to be trespassing will be scuttled and their crews imprisoned.

In additiion, you will pay a 250 million credit fine to [TAZ]Temple.Fund

If these conditions are not followed, you wil be subject to further enema'ing.

Aw my most scrumptious Josephine.... ( pardon my extrinsic manifestation fleshed through a verbal expulsion of these words )

I carve my deepest and most sincere stipulations when I flagrantly say that I would have never expected the day when a member of the entourage led under he who is the quintessential embodiment of tranquility, peace and compassion, the one person who is known as the ever shunner of war, violence and pestilence and also known as the connotation of Doc Holliday, would ever come to commit such an act of violence, of destruction.

My dearest and most amiable Skarsi, you had the innovative inspiration to remove the audacious stereotypes and labeling sobriquets with this act of yours. Truly, you have shown that the Temporary Autonomous Zoners are not to be ridiculed or categorized as philanthropists anymore. After all, cheri ( if you'd permit me of addressing you under this informal yet affective connotation ) philanthropy is a jest, a self inflicted pestilence where one openly announces his vulnerability towards exploitation. You have my commendation and respect for this.

But destroying a station? To top it off, an undoubtedly populated one and without warning so that you may allow the owners, as reckless as they may have been by affronting and neglecting the laws of your own home, to evacuate their friends and families? I don't think I can express apathy or blame towards you... The sight must have surely been entertaining for a war lecherous lion.
But regardless, it was your own and therefore you have the liberty of erecting your own rules. It's your choice how exactly you dare to dispose of unwanted strangers but... personally, we, the Commonwealth would have chosen a... more elegant approach. And since we're on the subject, I dare puncture you with a little trivia and express how The Fires of Moscow are most certainly an inspiring theme to digest especially when contriving the idea of a swashbuckling inept monkey who would dare pass as a fur filled humanoid only to occupy precious space in my most beautiful Freeport 10.

But I digress... The Fires of Moscow are certainly not something to discuss about right now... Perhaps the Coalition could be more in theme with this.

I most certainly came to exclusively express my felicitation for your spearheaded apprehension. Nothing more than that, I assure you.

But seeing what kind of capabilities the TAZ possess, capabilities that you took the liberty in demonstrating us free of charge... perhaps we may establish some contracts that go... far beyond the normal routine of humanitarian aid, mon ami? After all, you must have grown tired of that senseless rubbish, biensur, non? It is fairly obvious that you have potential and the required talent for establishing a... very enterprising and innovative business venture. Why limit yourselves to humanitarian aid?

PS: S'il vous plait, do not inquire how I got my meticulous hands on this transmission, unfortunately... a lack of encryption and above all, a total absence of any spam filters installed on my neural net have granted me this ludicrous chance of fruitfully caressing my free time. And as anything else... I do possess a lot of free time.

And to you, my dearest Mister "Sea Dog"

Courtesy demands of me to mimic compassion for the loss you have been struck with today. I assure you, the Commonwealth would have been more... careful and peaceful in its approach.

Not only because we are completely peaceful zoners that disregard personal use of violence and obnoxious capital assets unlike some individuals you may or may not have had the chance of building a base in their illegitimately claimed corner of space ( Yes, my insinuation does stray away from these undoubtedly innocent, tranquility intoxicated, most scrumptious individuals you know under the insignia of TAZ who will never ever commit any acts of violence or be a pestering threat as long as you respect them and live by the code of mutuality... and instead it pounces directly for the empty void of Omicron 74 where the Zoner Aggressors exert their existence ) , but our neighbors... Especially the Outcasts... Wouldn't agree to such an amount of spilled blood and number of deaths.

By that would be all, my dearest dearests,
Yours sincerely,
Robert d'Autoine
Exalted and elegant Head Councilor of the undoubtedly exquisite and overtly finespun Commonwealth

Cpt. Francek again.

As I said, our company apologises for the incovenience. Our company just started doing business and all recent profits were spent on now destroyed base and we don't have 250 million credits to pay your fine.
We were unable to find any laws prohibiting construction in Baffin,but if we found one we surely wouldn't construct one. We would like to continue to doing business with your people as before this "incident".
As all Zoners we also are peacefull and mean no harm. We are just trying to make a living.
We,Cpt. Salty and Cpt. Sea Dog of OSSC, apologize again.

OSSC board of directors

The Baffin Transit Ban will stay in force until one of two conditions are met:

1. The fine is paid in full. This can be paid in installments if that would be better.

or

2. You prove yourselves to be worthy enough to return to Baffin. This can be done by assisting our friends around Sirius.

Until then, you know what not to do.

*****INCOMING TRANSMISSION*****
From Carl Bergmann, TAZ temple Pueblo Bonito

Kallisti Captain Francek,

If we will see You living and acting like a Zoner should do, whatever this may be, then we will change our behavior into a more friendly and nice style.
Don´t be too frustrated, there is no reason to be, this ban is only temporarily. And for example our friends here around like the CR or the Council will tell us, if You`ll show a nice behavior in their systems or if you`ll assist them with help in any form. Maybe this can reduce the fine also. We have no fun to harm people but we will not tolerate bases of third factions or groups in our system, this should be common to everyone in Sirius.

May Eris lead You on Your way, 23´s, Carl Bergmann out

Cpt. Francek again.

I'm not frustrated, I was just shocked that my company's base was destroyed and that my company violated the law.
As I said that were not our intentions and we didn't mean no harm. We will asisst and help in any form possible. That is part of our job afterall as we are a shipping company. If your people need something we will trasport that for free.
