∞
x Serious Callers Only (LSV, Tundra Class):
Here, in the bare dark face of night
A calm unhurried eye draws sight
- We see in what we think we fear
The cloudings of our thought made clear.
∞
x Wisdom Like Silence (GSV, Continent class):
A most interesting contribution, we’re sure, but can we keep this just a
little more focused?
∞
x Shoot Them Later (Eccentric, Culture Ulterior, AhForgetIt tendency
[t. rated Integration Factor 73%, vessel rated 99%]):
Illuminating. Unhappy as I am to agree with the Steely Glint, I suspect
it might be right. There, I said it.
∞
x Wisdom Like Silence (GSV, Continent class):
I was not aware that the Shoot Them Later was part of this Core Group!
No entity with an IF of less than 100% is supposed even to be considered
for inclusion in this Group! No Eccentric or Ulterior craft are eligible!
LSV Serious Callers Only; said message was relayed through you; provide
an explanation immediately!
∞
x Serious Callers Only (LSV, Tundra Class):
No.
∞
{x Ethics Gradient (GSV, Range Class):
With the Group’s permission: Hint of warp wake - inadvertent soliton
resonation signature - Kraszille system (62 std years xTM), curved V
towards TM region. DGs attached. Probably nothing . . .}
∞
x Limivorous (GSV, Ocean Class):
This TM, this latest E, this I, this strange new object of concern: telic?
∞
x Wisdom Like Silence (GSV, Continent class):
With immense respect to our highly esteemed colleague Limivorous and with full cognizance of its most illustrious career and near-legendary reputation, we have to say we were also not aware that our humble group was graced with its exalted regard! GSV Anticipation Of A New Lover’s Arrival, The; as relayer, you should have informed us you were in contact with the Limivorous!
∞
x Not Invented Here (MSV, Desert Class):
Read. Also henotic?
∞
x Wisdom Like Silence (GSV, Continent class):
But the Not Invented Here was reported destroyed in 2.31! Identify
yourself, you liar! Security breach! What is going on here?
∞
x Shoot Them Later (Eccentric, Culture Ulterior, AhForgetIt tendency
[t. rated Integration Factor 73%, vessel rated 99%]):
Tee hee.
∞
x Full Refund (Homomdan ‘Empire’ Class Main Battle Unit [original
name MBU 604] Convertcraft [vessel rated Integration Factor 80% {nb;
self-assessed}]):
Add delitescent.
∞
x Wisdom Like Silence (GSV, Continent class):
What! We can’t have a self-assessed ex-enemy craft privy to M32-level
matters! What is going on here? Security breach! I invoke my authority as
convener of this Group to suspend all M32 level discussion immediately
and until further notice while a full security review is carried out.
∞
x Different Tan (GCU, Mountain Class):
Indeed so, perhaps. Even - whisper it - an outrance?
∞
x Wisdom Like Silence (GSV, Continent class):
The Different Tan is also not an accredited member of this Core Group!
This has gone far enough! We hereby--

[New M32-level Core Group formed.
Name: Interesting Times Gang (Act IV).
Group initially comprises all previously mentioned craft except Wisdom
Like Silence (GSV, Continent class).]
∞
x Star Turn (Rock, First Era):
Filing name change.
