Zoner Tactical Defense Comms

Comm's open...

sending........

This is the Trader MACK TRUCK. There is a pirate in O-49 by the name of Firestorm.
After demanding i pay a tax, i was opening up my com link for a reply,when he opened up on me,and destroyed my train. I was under the asumption zoner's patroled their space. Perhap's i was wrong,but still a neutral system should be pirate free.
I do hope you will do something about this virus in O-49. I am curently recouping in the hospital, and awaiting insurance to decide on my train. Depending on result's, i may be forced to hire Bounty hunter's,and i do not think you want BH's shooting up your space.


COMM..Closed...........

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

Oi! Well I'll tell you what. I launched from Manhatten and narrowly escaped with my skin. Those Harveys are getting more and more bold, and I don't think my gunny boat can take them alone. Perhaps a pair or even a wing with Razors? I've spoken with my sister, Kyte... she suggests no one go it alone. I guess that's her cautious side, but I for one am growing tired of tucking tail. Please tell me I'm not alone in this thought.

My best and warmest to you all,

Fyre.

Subject: Anomalous Sighting, "Scornstar"

Hey, I thought we blew this tub all the way to Lanzarote, and stole its brain for a little R&R at the Geode..

But, I swear I caught a whiff of this alledged Juggernaut cruising alone into Baffin.

And then.. it disappeared from long-range.

Now, I seriously doubt that it docked at Shasta.. just wouldn't be "cricket"..

Just be aware that the Harveys may have rebuilt this bad boy, installed a new brain, and figured out some miraculous way to cloak it in a hostile system.

Update on "cloaked" vessel in Baffin: The vessel in question was not a Zoner Juggernaut after all. Threat reduced, all bounties cancelled.

All TAZ defensive/escort vessels commence "Hunker down". Protect/defend Baffin, Canaria, and Freeports. Limit interraction with all Harvester vessels to polite banter and self-defense only, pending results of upcoming TAZ Expedition to Planet Gammu.

I'll be on the "Bafflin' Queen", so direct all questions or whinges to Mal on Shasta, or Mama Dis at an undisclosed location.

Off t' see the Tin Man,
Shamus

Greetings Zoners,

While on a trade route from Honshu to some where deep in Omega space, While in auto pilot flying through Omega-5 relaxing drinking beer! when without warning a missile was fired at my vessel!:nono: It mist!:D

AGRESSER: [OPG]Ivan

When I asked why he replied "stop and you'll see" I think he was after my cargo.

This situation has to be dealt with the correct manna:rtfm:

This is a warning to any ZONER traders to watch out

RE: OPG Ivan

First of all, I hope you don't mind me sending a transmission on these frequencies, but this seems relevant enough.

I assure you we do not pirate Zoners. We pirate those who fly with a Zoner ID, but without a Zoner IFF, for I suspect they've had someone smuggle them an ID, to try and buy themselves immunity from pirates.

Now for this matter, I'd request that you DO stop and allow for an inspection, Zoner or no Zoner, Omega 5's our space and we've got every right to blast your cargo to bits if it's got any cardamine or the likes in it.

And I suggest DARCK/STAR get his ship's sensors rechecked, last time I saw, Ivan's titan didn't have missiles. It was a cruise disrupter that got you jumpy. The only crime Ivan's committed is having the usual Corsair attitude, which seems to have spooked DARCK/STAR a bit.

Again I assure you, any innocent Zoners will not be attacked by us.

Asno.

SHIP: Adv Train

ANY WEAPON FIRED AT MY VESSEL WILL BE CONSIDERD AS AN ACT OF HOSTILITY!!

consider I'm ZONER ID'ed and Tagged he should have handled this a bit friendlier!
Being fired at by OPG knowing that they don't tax zoners (unless this has changed) was a bit of a surprise!

I would have stopped an let him scan my ship if he had requested.
But the simple fact he fired first with no warning got me spooked and a cargo full off highly explosive Plutonium witch could take the whole system out was weighing heavily on my mind.



I hope I don't have to take an aggressive stance to OPG in the foreseeable future?

DARCK/STAR
End Transmission.
