As Josh enters the office, he hears Squeeks chirping away at something in the computer system. Walking over to his R6 droid he looks at the computer and wonders what's got him so excited. "Our guest didn't waste any time I see. Just make sure he sees only what we want him to see. I'm going to send a secure message to the folks back home on our status."

No sooner did Josh sit down, then squeeks informed him that our guest was trying to stray, and that they had not suceeded in bypassing the ships computer safety, and squeek's constant monitoring. Josh smiled as his droid was keeping up with the slicer. "Nice work Squeeks, keep him guessing. Now, to write home."

Just writing home to get the latest word on happenings around town. Seems there's a party going on at Minos Cluster, but I can't find out anything else. Was wondering if you got an invite. Seems the ISD Arcanus has been poking his nose into pirate business, but I can't tell why. Was hoping you knew of something. Anyway, we should be home for dinner pretty soon.

"Ok Squeeks, I sent a message to the old folks home, so hopefully they will have some info for us soon. When is out guest scheduled to depart?" Josh asks his little R6 droid.

Squeeks chirps out his response of "In the morning".

"Right, I'm off to the bridge to get the latest news. Keep watching our guest." Josh says as he strolls out of his office and to the bridge.

Once on the brdige he notices things are not as quiet as they should be, and watches people run around trying to get answers. "What news?" Josh asks to no one in particular.

"Sir," Major Eric Reagan, the PBF's newest XO, salutes Josh, who returns the salute, "we've picked up some chatter from a few pirate groups around here. Seems the White Gaurd is back, and they've aquired something from one of out depots out here. We've just recieved word that they will be heading into our sector soon. They are also looking for our guest, seem he aquired some information vital to them as well. They should arrive when our guest is scheduled for departure"

"Well, right now Squeeks has our guest occupied so he won't be getting anything from us, other than what we want him to. He'll be departing in the morning, so lets see if we can get a slicer of our own to access his ships computer. Maybe we can learn something from him. When he leaves in the morning send a couple pilots up to escort him out, and see what the White Guard aquired from us. Keep me informed" 

"Understood. We'll find out what we can." Eric Says as he salutes and returns to his work on the bridge. Josh salutes and walks out to head towards the briefing room to makes plans for tomorrow. After a few moments of planning, he sets off the klaxxon's for the pilots to report to the briefing room. Two of these lucky pilots are going to flying escorts.

PBF News:

To let you all know I have been in talks with Max Cal, the CO of the Retribution Wing (R2W), with any luck and some red tape, the R2W will find a new and permanent home here in the PBF. This will lead to exciting new Storys and missions in the future. This will also mean some changes for us. You will now have a choice as to which game/mission you wish to fly for the merger. So if you have both games, I urge you to fly both missions, or you can choose which mission you wish to fly. Once we have more details we'll let you all know. Should you have any questions or concerns, we'll be starting a forum post so you can talk about the merger there. This way, Max and Myself can answer whatever questions you may have. 

Also, we'll be starting a new squad for those interested in learning/ helping to build missions. We need teachers as well as interested people to help us make missions for the upcoming tour. Markus has agreed to assist in helping. Please email Myself or Markus if you wish to join. 

Pilots! To your ships!
