The only community fund we have is the bar tab, it usually gets pretty high before the head office manages to find one of us to pay it...
Otherwise the moneys all yours to keep or spend as you please. Just don't offer to get anyone a drink for them, you'll end up stuck in the bar for weeks.
On the subject of that supposed GC, seems they've switched to 'shock and awe' tactics...
Those escorts... a few of them are in Bretonia, alegedly securing the Omega routes... I wander...
Yahvo, old chap... come, friend!
No one will kick you in the face if you really want to donate some funds... anyway, we still have two or three corporate carriers to pay for, so any donations by members are welcome (donations by anyone :crazy:). Donations in the bar are welcome too.
Let's have a drink on Waterloo!

If the stars should appear one night in a thousand years, how would men believe and adore and preserve for many generations the remembrance of the city of God? - from 'Nightfall' by I. Asimov The Outcasts consider Siniestre Nube a sacred place for several reasons.

To what bar, the donations are welcome ?
"Manhattan - Bar" or "Esco - Bar" :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
Joke, sorry, noobs should keep thir mouth shut. :rtfm:
Thanks for quoting one of my favourite songs -
made me look for the old electro-magnetic-medium - ehm... tape is the word, I think.
Were was I ? Ah, the donations ! - Let me donate 50% of my first profit to the drinks of this bar. -Wait-
Yeah - neural-transmission of the bugs is done - should keep us some days of free drinks.
My pleasure to be here.

Party goes on for another day, if you all want.
My honor to be with ya.
Don't say 'sorry' for a good joke. Btw, Escobar won't kick you for donating him money, the people in the Manhattan Bar will also be quite happy with free drinks, same goes for the 'Saratoga Carrier Bar above Newark' - just don't go spinning it :lol:
The song? I think that might have been Pat, our escort wing leader, I can still hear 'Hallowed Be Thy Name' and him shouting something about Rio de Janeiro over the comms... whatever that means. Talk to him if you can fly a Viper, we can use a good escort pilot.

"OK, you lot, out me kin' office now. Take the jollities back over to the bar please ...
Bloody hell, some of us have to do a bit of work round here now and again.
Short of office staff as it is currently ... So if paperwork is your bag, stick around, if
not you know where to go ...
Shut the door quietly on the way out please ... Thanks
That is all."

Sorry to hear of your woes up in Kusari old lad, the bloody military seem to never last
up in that neck of the woods. Some say a curse exists on the place ...
Seems pirates are part of it, or is that piratesses, never get the political correctness thing
these days. Cross dressing you say, Ah well, each one to his own ... Far be it from me to
criticise, to many skeletons round here.
Though ain't that lot too stoned most of the time ... Must have caught *her* on a bad day.
Anyway, I digress ... Help yourself to an escort, if you can find one on his/her feet, or not
under a bar table ... Have a word with Pat Boone sometime.
SOBERUPAGE ENDS:

Still in the Edge worlds, following breadcrumbs left by Pat, and still tweaking my Epsilon crotch rocket.
Did catch wind of the RX-7 interloper. Piratin' in an Outcast Destroyer, no less! He would have deserved every erg I pumped into him, but the blip disappeared before I could even way-point the tosser. Ah, well. 25 Mil would be worth the wait, even if I weren't transferrin' it from one pocket to the other, eh?
May be requesting a short leave of absence, as possibility of some testy guests to "facilitate" down at Veranda Incognita. But definitely enjoying the break from that tub, the Daddy W.
Will advise in plenty of time to cover my billet at Waterloo.
Just a bit of a status report. The package is in the very capable hands of SirEX. Hopefully they'll actually read the markings on the box that say "FRAGILE". Most likely it'll be routed and rerouted through hubs near and far. The rep says 7-10 business days...I'm thinking it'll be more like 7-10 weeks.

It's official now, all Epsilon units are to report to the Saratoga above Newark. All of you that have 'Esc.' in their squawkbox need to remove that part, ex:
your name is now '[IND]Esc.John.Prine' we're getting rid of the 'Esc.' part so you'll request a name change to '[IND]John.Prine'.
Guess it's simple... Anyway, the Saratoga has the needed NCCs for you all.

Romer, I can only sympathize with your pessimism, I know the feeling of parting fragile electronics dear to the heart...
Hang in there!

Sirius situation updated for those who get here first ... Suggest a perusal of the readme
is in order, before trying to launch those trading vessels, if left docked with a hold full of
your favourite cargo ...
Various other interesting things to note concerning ships and shipping. Some good, some,
not so good, but hey.
Trading routes will have to be checked too, and one or two, or most of those little back
doubles discovered on our travels will have vanished.
Any discoveries of suitable note, shared only by private comms please for now ...
Epsilon wing will be contacted by Pat as soon as certain things are discussed.
Heads up ya'll ...
That is all.
