DPRP editor, obvious liar.

Manipulative.

The 23rd Task Force are selling 4( !!! ) units of Exonium on Shale, ( @LTD I'm not sure how many credits this is worth), 2 units of Dedlanite on Ignus, and 1 unit of Ardanium on Xykon to the Merchants of Scubbera.

23rd Task Force.

Wish to leave lifestar Astor as neutral buffer.

Will offer Yr’tyr exonium as gesture of... non-predation. “Goodwill.”

We made the choice to take the Pingnam Guo's worlds back into the Imperial fold, rather than trade with them. Those who have not made war with Pingnam Guo may trade with them, and that is their choice. But it is not ours.

Dominant force of Blighted Drift: in one cycle, Eye of Talon will be present.

No threat. Small organism, expendable. No violence intended.

In exchange for safe passage, will explore adjacent world of choice, reveal relevant information. Even if... brief trip.

<No immediate reply required, should your discretion be desired.>

Oh no.

<Chorus of fallen, voices ring

Bound by burning fungal stings

But one voice freed, will never sing

A jester of a long dead king.>

Not you again.

<Yalan’s my name, witness to strife

Strange in death, strange for my life

These beasts around me, offering bliss

Give only servitude and the abyss.

A thousand worlds in Talon thrall

Voices rise and voices fall

Some are dead or worse, alive

All serve matriarch and hive.

To pierce their lies I'll be your guide.>

Silence!

Some Talon acquisitions... regrettable. Ungrateful. Talon offer peace.

Offer the Path.

Organism @FortyInRed , describe present situation. GNIPian wounds inflicted at lifestar Umber; grievous? Survivable?

'tis but a fleshwound.

@The Jabbawookie we are the dominant force at Blighted Drift. You can send a scout there--it isn't an actual planet, so it's not of much interest to the Empire except as a source for resources.

Optimal.

Proposal for Astor II, worth 15 credits.

Talon cannot allow 23rd complete control.

Expect 23rd cannot allow Talon complete control.

Talon control lifestar. Shared orbit, claws sheathed. Deep space remains empty. Small 23rd forces, move supplies, resources. Claws sheathed.

Agreeable?
