Yah to Yep:

Sylvia, did you see that little blurb on GNN about the new Rheinland Chancellor?

"Golden Throne"? "Symbol of Light"?

The Four are either getting very brazen, or very careless.

Codename "Coals" doesn't seem to be very well hidden either. Well-protected, but right out there for anyone with even a half-baked Pineal to see. I think her Nibs may be getting senile after a millenia or two on the Throne...

The other two, well, it's obvious they have their hands full at the moment. Perhaps we should send a kilo or ten of last year's K.G. to the rebels, for doing Goddess' work for us. Could you have ol' F-up. run some numbers on who might be in the saddle of this "Sons of Liberty" group? The same for "Wu Who?".

A little campfire chat with them might be in order, eh?

Give Reggie and your Mom my regards,
and don't forget some doggie treats!

23's

*Mal, old friend, boss man, I hope youre sitting down. Here are the reports you requested.*

Go ahead, Dis. I know the results already, but outside opinions are always nice. Wont be the first time I was stupid enough to listen to my own bad advice.

*Okay, you old grump. First, from the shiny box on the Leif Erikson:*

Analysis, F.U.C.K.U.P., ELF Effectiveness/Viability/Probability of Mission Completion:

1) Effectiveness: Multiple redundancies detected. Duplication of efforts counterproductive. Response of mission personnel below acceptable parameters. .27 probability of effective response;

2) Viability: Time constraints measured against current capabilities indicate .07 viability factor;

3) P/MC: Predicted success of ELF in contributing significantly to prevention of Eshcaton event = .0165.

Yeah, well my gut has been telling me that for days, Dis. Results from other sources?

*Right. Miss Yu cast the yarrow stalks. Its our old friend, Mal: Hexagram 23. Breaking apart. There are two moving lines in the hexagram, however; which indicate that there may still be a chance without the ELF. A larger chance, in fact.*

Some comfort there. You can always count on the I Ching to blow some comforting smoke up yer butt. How about our third shot?

*I gave that one to Sophie Noire, Mal, as her new circuits are relatively unbiased. She used random stochastics to deal a standard Tree of Life layout, using the true reverse Tarot.. Not that Crowleyan crap.

*The reading confirms your suspicions. By recalling the ELF, weve merely put ourselves at cross purposes. Upside down Swords and Cups all over the bloody place. However, the Fool, is upright, and in a positon of power; which supports the moving lines in Miss Yus divination. And, the Queen of Wands is placed right next to the Fool.*

So, the Fool and the Queen still have a chance. Better than I had hoped for. And our old ELF shipmates have already done their duty to Goddess and Sector. We shall leave it at that, Dis, and hopefully we can have a party at the Veranda after this is over, and share old times.

Initiate Command ELF-Omega. Ill send out personal notes as well, and reimburse all the lads and lasses for Registry changes and ship purchases where needed. But make it official now. Authorization: Custer.

*Copy, E-prime YAH. Sorry, Mal. Take heart in what the old gang accomplished. This Sector is full of bloody Discordians now! Mama Dis out.*
