Steve (Mat.),

I'm really not sure of your point, not what New Beginnings has to do with
anything.  If you thought that I meant that I expected N.B. to carry on the
RIP SA, I didn't.  My concerns have nothing whatsoever to do with N.B.

Be seing you,

Steve:

I'll be staying as close to the Dallas Convention center as my travel
agent can get me. If thats the case should I bring my flak jacket and
sidearm? <grin>

E-mail me your number and I'll try and give you a call. So far I have
person to visit for sure (an x-BSEr and x-Navy friend). Maybe we'll
come to you.

Later

Sir,

I think your error here comes from not following the scientific
method.

In order to say that the AIS only hates Quman life, you must have
had a non-Quman control group, or several of them, for comparison.

Since the WCE are not life at all, I doubt that you could have come
up with the requisite number of living control specimens.

Please perform correct scientific experiments in the future.

Subject: Events on Tought Ugo

An open letter to the QSN, PFM, members of the T3, AIS,

The recent AIS attack on QSN Portrude by the AIS at the behest of the WCE
is most unfortunate and disturbing to me. I am personally saddened that two
friends (the QSN and the WCE) are choosing to conduct war with each other,
and that the WCE have chosen to attack the QSN on my world.

I have openly stated before that the SMS has pledged to defend the QSN, but
not to aid them in any war against the T3. It is a difficult thing to
remain neutral, but I have tried my best. However I will stand by my word
and defend the QSN colony. A well equipped Peace Keeping ground party has
been sent to enforce the peace at QSN Portrude. There is a good chance that
my decision to honor my agreement to defend the QSN will cause me to be put
in a position where I must fight other friends.

The WCE has told me that they will not rest until they see the QSN and PFM
forces removed from Tought Ugo. I recognize the WCE as being the legal
government in this portion of the Transhole. The SAM, long time friends of
Porkamo Base, have also stated their support of the WCE in this matter.

As governor of SMS Porkamo Base my primary concern for the lives of
citizens at QSN Portrude and PFM Suomi -- many of whom are relatives of my
own colonists. This is why I feel that I must make at effort to find a
peaceful solution to the problem that exists on Tought Ugo. Hopefully a
solution can be found that will avoid blood shed. What I would like to do
is offer to mediate some kind of a solution to this problem.

My proposal is this, I would like to OFFER TO BUY the positions of QSN
Portrude and PFM Suomi.

The details of the purchase could be worked out in private, but subject to
the approval of the ISP PD -- I would like to offer you both colonies in
the Periphery that would be at least a class larger than what you currently
have. These colonies would be near a major SMS Production colony (SMS
Eklas) on sites that are well suited for good research colonies. Places
where we could really work together on some projects.

And after the end of hostilities, Porkamo Base would pledge to be open to
the PFM and QSN as well as all friendly alien races and affiliations.

I realize that virtually no one who reads this will like this idea, but I
ask you to consider it in the name of peace. It is the best peaceful
compromise that I can think of.

Sincerely and thank you for you consideration,
Lord Junior Croft
SMS Porkamo Base,
Transhole Coordinator
