Walkabout. That what they call it on here on Al Raquis, and also at home at Dragon's Egg.
Why not. Seana and Simon gone off to wherever. Gallagher burn up and ghost not even really know me, which say, was not important in the first place. Just must have maked it up in my head. All them photos, surely lies. Cody off trying to save the world for that cub, what will end me and all of mine one day anyway, not to mention it will break him heart in the end. Miss Laken gone, wif some crew. Other adopted parentses leaved also, no one to show I go by rules.
Gallagher. Put samples in ground.
Anna. Put me in ground.
All the same.
On the Al Raquis, embassy very busy. I watch fightings across the desert and want to join in, to make my what pass for blood alive, but there no challenge to end them what fight wif their moufs. Today I finish up that place, give out rest of documentations, and leave notes for new Ambassador. Maybe someone want job, maybe not. Not my problem.
Miss Reiko, make nice house for me. Mister Consort of hers, make nice lap for me. But, end of the day, there no place for me. Not really.
Krakken gots the cub. Not wanted me. Just cub. I sick of burning. Ladys not for burning. And, I not learn much, but I know how to be like lady. Real one.
Not got all I need to shut down forever, but got what I need to go find what I need.
So I go.
Goodbye.
This not a Clash song from Earth that Was. Not a question of should. It matter of is.
Walkabout. No one know for how long. Or if even return. Maybe not return at all. Maybe find me in desert, turned to stone. Maybe with Ta Seti if them finds me. After all, we do gots much in common and at least I not afraid of them. Or them tendrils wif which them caress.
I choose to no longer service and proteck the citizens of Hale's Moon. I choose to no longer service and proteck the citizens of Dragon's Egg. I choose to no longer service and proteck the citizens of the Desert.
I am Lily. L i l y. Hello. I must be going.

Dear Diary,
I made my words before the Noble Houses that camed to the meeting I called, as is my right over at the land of sand. I memorize all rules and worlds of the Forms and the Laws for Clan Morloch and Desert Borns, into which I am adopted by Khalifa and also into which me and my cubs take protection when we there, or when we not there.
This was my words to the Noble Houses from Zenobia (who illness prevent from attending), and from the Companions who make appearance *but not Miss Calina*, and the Lt. Man that come wif that girl with light hair, who name is Miss Fa, and who I like but who not allowed to say dishonour words.
I learn about them words, and what has to happen, from every book of law. I read them all. This my time to speak. It not time for discussion. It time for me to speak. Then, time for them to say yes them withdraw the dishonour...and if them not, then I do next think on list, as is according to Forms from all them books from years and centuries.
This is what I say to them at that meeting. I writed it in you diary, as testament to my obedience to the rules. This one good. Cub good. I do what right, no matter what. I tell truf.
I, LilyBell Snoodle, representing only myself, and not at this time House Morloch, present myself as required having notified local authority and heads of Great Noble Houses that I wish to speak regarding utterances made by representatives of said Great Houses. These utterances is a matter of great disrespect toward my own mate, and thus to me and all of my house. (Diary, when I say mate, them all gasp..as if it some secret. Some man even say my cub could be his. I think Miss Reiko maybe kill him but Mister stop her. Ain't no one can calm her like him. That ok. Cody hear it. Probably end him later, and if not, well, if the Myrmidon get hearing of it, them make that man life not nice. ). But anyway....I said then:
I publicly recognizes presence of Magistrate, and Miss Fa-Le and Mister Rainfall and absence of Miss Zeno from the House of Zenobia and in the presence of these, and other witnesses such as choose to hear, I present my request. Again, I wish to restate lest there be any question, this meeting is only to ask for said Noble people to hear me and, thus hearing, be allowed an opportunity to consider and then to make agreement to retract or withdraw you motions for charge of treason against the Myrmidon Pro Consul in reference to matters regarding his statements on Ta Seti on last Landsraats meeting. I believe their word is good and being of noble and wise birth, upon hearing my plea, they will realise that in heat of moment they made quick judgement leading to their disrespectful words.
I not wish to see for example, appointment of judge of rites by the magistrate, and ensuing closed negotiation, I say again, my desire for justice, and truth and safety of all who live in our lands. We bound together by the sand, and we need each other. (ok, diary, I say this, and it true, but in next moment, I do wish to see it. I not able to lie. But...yes, then no, then yes, then no....Which is true knowing? I not want anyone harm. At same time, I wish to give them second smile as they sit...But I continued with my words as is the Form:)
Four Pillars makes the Nobles of which I acknowledge you all is. I give you all this, and especially to Magistrate for prompt address of my plea. You all base dealings on Honour, Hospitality,Right Conduct and Kin Loyalty. On opposite side, defilement of these same - honour, hospitality, right conduct, and loyalty to kin - is not taked lightly.
My address to you based on content of meeting and these pillars of right conduct. I apolgise for outburst in last meeting but...to hear these words of dishounour against my kin, that is to say, KrakkenAres the ProConsul...it disgrace all of you to speak such things. Did you not experince him warnings? Yet call them threats. I cannot allow this. If allowed, it go against the very pillars of which you Nobie Houses claim to value.
Do not treat the proconsul as if him some umma..wild man making crazy words or calling for destruction when in reality him WARNING you.
Again I state, as teller of only true fings, I come bearing no pre design plan to engage in any hostile act to anyone for having opinion. (ok, diary, I know this prepared to make a meeting of blades, but that not same as planning to...) I state freely have asked others , as is my right by law, what them think of this call for charges. (Diary this part so important cause if I already declare some vendetta, I not allowed to ask for third party, but this just to ask them to withdraw. Okay, more I tell them to withdraw. But ask sound nicer......) Before anyone accuse of asking for third party help, I humbly remind you that to ask in such situation, where there no formal declaration of any hostility, the name of which I shall not utter, is not illegal, or wrong by any guide. I not taking any action. Please make note of this.
To be sure one aware of rights that could result in dance which result in... in entire Houses being...gone if this foolish course of action by disrespectful noble people be pursued. Be assured, . I not want houses gone. I not want to make war upon my friends or former crewmates, or even those I not know but who just...lives and helps here.
(Oh diary that so much true. So much true. I wish it not like this. At same time I helpless to not react when I hear the words. If I see them in paper, it not like this. but I HEAR them...dishonour. )
Know I also that the ruling parties benefit from such event should it come. I not naive and blind as some suppose.
But be known to all here, I will neither offer or accept black flag (parley) once started, and barring all but judicial ban, i am prepare to see this matter thru to its just end.
(Then it come to the time, Diary. The time that decide. I say before Time is Near. )
Before you say no, or make light of this matter, or make bad words regarding this one and her purpose, intent, and desire, I ask you consider if you prepared for the cost. Are you prepared ....your heirs deserve more from you than to give up assets which is a possibliity if Magistrate s appointed judge so decree. Oh yes, . This something I consider alot before coming forward. That assume there any heirs left for you House. For my house, there K2 and AuroraBlue, which is black and white. I consider if only them left, it same as end because light and dark not exist in same space. I asking you to hear and then withdrraw.
Withdraw. now. Yes or No. You make disgrace on my House, and there no discussion. Simple yes, or now.
Diary..them refuse! Try to make discussion. Repeat slander. And so I got no choice...according to ways prescribed by years, I give to Lady Reiko the following:
I hereby request Kanly be invoked by the Noble Lady Reiko, and request her to notify the Landsraat, all Courts and Head of Houses of all who voted for this charge of treason, specifically:
I request a Judge be appointed by Council and appropriate authorities and negotiations begin immediately, as is my right as Clan Morloch. Known as Judge of Rite.
I claim my seat and right to closed hearing, in that no one other than Judge and immediate family may observe proceedings.
I state, in advance, that I revoke all further negotiation involving discussion of the dishounour of the ProConsul, and I herby state intention to invoke negotiation of blood duel, to the unconscious or death with the following persons (those who do not agree)
As is my right, I refuse to accept duel from any champion from said Noble House, and challenge directly the aforementioned to meet me with blade drawn.
I request formal accounting of all House assets to aid in provision of formal distribution of assests of who not survive the duels, and to ensure that Higher Authorities receive fair portions.
I ask the mercy of the court in not invoking a Judge Ban, however if this is decision of Judge, I state in advance I will of course adhere to said Ban in the custom of my Clan.
Then my adopted Pa address them all...and suddenly, it like light in the room.
And then....Miss Joan, her spoke:
Regarding rule of Law and Clan custom on Ban:
As Judge of the Rite, I decree that a particular act of kanly is detrimental to the Imperium as a whole, and so I place Ban both the involved Houses. Until such time as the Ban is lifted, the House whose members act against the other can be declared guilty of treason, stripped of all its holdings, and outlawed.
And just like that...it over.
For now.
I made my words before the Noble Houses that camed to the meeting I called, as is my right over at the land of sand.

dear diary,
midsummer eve'ning
fireflies and light all around
your gift of a glance
red leaves around me
traveling so near and far
drowning in water
winters cold breathing
daffodils languish in soil
some will survive it
green hard shelled softness
truly spring or stay dormant
violets fall like raindrops
red yellow white green
colours that taste as candy
smile, and think of me.
these are words. these are my words. my name is lily.
i remember everything
i am awake.
many things are near. time is one of them.

The message light blinked on her screen. Word had quickly spread of her safe
return to Colchester, she still had not ventured back to Londinium. Potential
clients and well-wishers filled her inbox. But one message took her breath
away. It was still too painful. More than a decade since her expulsion by her
father and [...]
I got me a new job from BlueSun. Now, I also work for Open Borders program that
look to expand trade and culture on our moon. There some rules and fings, to
memorize, but I
do that immediately, because ..well, just look at that and I know it. Also, there a stamp gots to be read for someone to take part , and that stamp, it gots information in it that I can see fast if I use a little glass to read it. And also, there signs ALL OVER the mines that them is not to be got in AND Mister Simons house also gots a sign AND there fences up.
Exciting. Also, I had my first session with a Companion but that a Secret. I learning how to be nice so maybe someone take me to a movie. I almost bite that man, I hear myself hiss, and so I run off. But, him say I gots pretty dress and now I know how a real girl make tea.
Finally, I feel so sorry for Miss Kitty. Her sneak around and put up a house in swamp, and now IT also got a sign her can't go in. Danger. Them say it in water, but just in that part. I hope it not from what I had the traders put in the water, to hide, for me.
You know. Osmium.

BlueSun put on a special show, and they let me be in it. It called cirquebezerk and today is our last show. In fact, the show end today, I got to be at the theatre place in just three hours!! Last night, it was wonderful. Krakken came but him not talk to me. Him bring a date. Not even got deevorce yet and bringed a date. Little Miss Medusa camed again, all dress up purty and smellin' very very sweet. Mister Reese - him in the show - was sick so only got to come help keep eye on fings, but everyone else - Miss Cheri Collazo, Miss Seana Kawanishi, Miss Miya Wingtips, and that gorram Cody Winterwolf - all there and all do them parts perfeck.
The show just for family and friends of BlueSun - ones what had special access to them musics could even hear music. I got to jump high, spin and blow up Cody a lot of times. The blowing up not actually hurt a single person. Then some Reavers come and I get to kill them. Then Cody go off and shackle the Operative while Miss Miya who him call Inara dance all snakey like. Then it done and we get to all run and skip. Oh, and also, there some time when them two, Miya and Cody, get up on HIGH swings, also they do some fast dancing. He look at her in the dance like him look at my cub in every day. He gots no shirt on. Actually very fine looking boy, that Cody.
It was so many mans there, it selled out. Reservations was lot of folk before, but last night, well, we had to start late cause so many folk lined up. Standing rooms only and not much of that. Them guys from the Anonymous that look like Guy Fawkes did good security, and gotted them in as fast as then could, but it still take a long time with so many people.
Still seats today. Our last time to do, I wish didn't have to do it. Last night was so fun and today, it be over, and them tear it down. Maybe BlueSun let me be in their what them say troupe. I wish I got to play pretty real girl, not bird wif big hyena nose and mop for hair. Miss Miya got to wear such purty stuff. Even Cody got a shiny mask.
I sad that Mister Luke and Miss Tabitha not able to make it. Miss Imrhien too. I maked a special display for her, of her zen garden, and I not even pee in it ONE time. Maybe them stuck out in the black, sure hope them is ok. Maybe them come today. OH speaking of stuck in black, guess who is back...Mister Simon. I seen him ship and him last night, landed, wif two Alliance ships. AND, then him get on horse and go all over the place, and also into the mines where you ain't supposed to go. I wonder what Miss Seana will think when she see that him is back.
And I wonder what him will think of Little Miss. I guess her be like a daughter, only well, him not married to Miss Seana. I wonder what them two Alliance ships is that bringed him. One of them still on the ground, actually. Escorts him call them. Him ALSO go up to the towers. Speaking of towers, Miss x0x0 not come see me either. In fact, nobody like me. I abomination. Disgraced. All because my skin is different, or because I am stupid. Shaft would come but them not let him in cause him different too. Him like, a big dog.
Got several new traders come thru. Say them gots rum but rum is like, guns. Bartender. That what I call my new friend. The Bartender. Oh, what I saying about that show from BlueSun, it so fun. Miss Ardra sended one of her drone to report. It like the show. I got to sing.
Them gived away some very special prizes. I wonder what happen to any that is lefted over? I wonder if we that is in the show gets any. I wonder if anyone find the spice I hided in one of the boxes of glasses? Them sooooo nice, look fragile. I got to sample some of the drink, I like the Oriental Orange, that gots pictures of the Operative on it. Them put my picture on the one name Grape Jester - it taste like my favorite flavour, too. Grape Kool-Aid.
At the end of the dancing, this man came on the News and then everybody make a lot of noise. They call it clapping. It sound loud.
Especially when this man say you cannot stop that signal.

my waves,” he said, with a chagrined look on his face. He was
right. Calina had been ignoring his messages for a couple of weeks.
Other, more pressing matters had taken over. It had been a busy season.

Trade has resumed to normalish levels since the pox plague crisis has passed. In order to expand trade further, the Consolidated Associated Traders of Zenobia (C.A.T.Z.) is jobbing out to independent traders. DaveDorm Gaffer, Seren Undercroft, Svetlana Pleiades, Stacy Leakey, Cody Winterwolf and Ziggy London have stepped up so far. We have been working with Dave, Svet, Tillery and Albert on setup for some time.
Araxes to Dragon's Egg Moon to Washtown to Colchester to Zenobia to Paquin and back seems to be a popular route. We are trying to get trade missions going to Botany Bay, Necronom IV, Deshima Station and Talmont. I am going to have to ask around about Strega, Blackburne Smuggler's Den and Moonshel. We have a current limited consignment from some trade with Cargo Express and am negotiating with Umbrella Corporation for a consignment to expand medical trade
I was checking the settings on the embassy guesthouse autoshuttle when I saw Seren Undercroft who rents one of the landing pads nearby. I waved her up and showed her some of the inventory we have available for consignment.
I originally thought Seren Undercroft was from 34 Tauri, then I thought she was from Deshima Station, then I found (when I asked her) that she was from some place called the seven sun. We discussed where that was, but I don't remember. I really need to keep better notes.
I showed Seren some of the very fine products from the Dharma Initiative and the Alferd Packer Meat Packing Company of Packard, Albion. Zenobia produces some very fine livestock, clover fed beef and fodder crop hogs, etc, but most of what I have in inventory was spacer and prison provisioning.
Tripe, Haggis, Headcheese, MRMs, Chum, Fish Heads. Synthetic Protein Artificially Manufactured (S.P.A.M., crueltly free meat substitute), not to be confused with the 13 varieties of real meat Spam (Shoulder Pork And Meat), Smeat (Spreadable Meat, convenient and fun) and Soylent Green. Ultimate Beef is their biggest export, only a lifetime of force feeding and the best growth-hormones and steroids can make.
Seren was expecting to be heading to Dragon's Egg Moon, so I didn't expect her to take any Blue Sun products. But who can refuse the fruity oaty goodness of fruity oaty bars? I try to explain to people the practical aspects of hibernation and cryogenic labor transport, Gruntsicles. But for some reason, no one seems excited about the opportunity.
Shortly thereafter, Seren got elected to the Beit Dawla Council in Al Raqis. I see her every week now. Willard Deerhunter and Dave Gaffer were also elected, I am used to seeing them often. Willard works at the Clan Misrim trading post in the Deep Desert and Dave Gaffer runs Vulture Shipping. I see them both regularly. I didn't have much dealings with Arnold Gustav before his election to the Beit Dawla, he and Sisko were the only military types who won seats in the election. Captain Sisko Aries of the STC (Starfleet Torchwood Command) has not yet taken the oath of office and his term is a third over. Trade types dominate the current council.
Meanwhile, back in Zenobia, Svetlana Pleides arrives with a phosphorus that she got in trade in Caliban. She is anxious to get to Dragon's Egg and then to Paquin, a circuitous route. Svet travels with her first mate and her children in their very comfortably appointed ship.
Svet is still trying to figure out what to trade for to get the maximum return for her trade.
I took Svet up to the C.A.T.Z. Longbow Frigate that we keep moored for orbital loading and unloading. I showed her the new reconditioned mule for moving cargo and some of the lifesupport cargo among other things.
I ran across Ziggy London recently. I don't know where he has been all these months, hopefully not prison. He bought me this great new clipboard.
Bug hunting in Araxes has been brisk, I have almost 100 tons of the critter carcasses boxed up for export. I consigned out 15 boxes to Ziggy.
That and some Mudder's Milk, regular and chocolate flavored. Protein and vitamins and 15% alcohol. Mm-mm gross. Big mover along with Fruity Oaty Bars, people can't say no.
We have four master bug hunters so far in Araxes. Those are folks who have collected all 20 meat beetles, both landlobsters and 12 steak spiders. Saygar, Ito, Stacy and Ferris. Ferris is a kid and did it with just a slingshot. But shouldn't he be in school?
We traded them each 8 literpaks of the highly coveted Literpaks with specially processed micro-cluster Dihydrogen oxide specially manufactured with some somnoluminesence process to make it more effective for the desert. Or so the literature says although the legal disclaimers says that they cannot claim that.
I try to clue traders in that there is good radionuclide ores in Dragon's Egg Moon. I direct them to Natirra for medical supplies and Miya Wingtips for colony supplies and then to Cody to trade for the ore mined in the colony.
Luckily, they are nice enough to crate them with protective shielding.
Sources of Thorium, Uranium and Duranium (depleted uranium). Very few fission reactors in this day and age. But Fission Fired Fusion Reactors are simpler than a lot of fancy engines. Fission salt rockets are used in deep space missions. The simplest engines ever, even a plumber can fix them.
The UAP has had a modest military presence in Araxes for years, a very low profile. A barracks, a few missions, some meetings, some negotiations. But recently they made an installation, the Watchtower overlooking the Al Raqis Highport.
They had threats in the area, the Guild Navigator who was involved in theft of Zenobian antiquities, the criminal Commander Faith and his father, the AR_Pharma debacle, the negotiations for the release of Zeno and Calina.
A lot of indies come to Araxes. Lori Schulman is from Araxes but grew up in 34 Tau, joined the independents in the last part of the war. She has a small village in the area. A known hangout for smugglers.
It is difficult to maneuver a full sized Firefly into the village, but with some luck and determination I was able to get it done. I spoke with the Sheika of Azaadi for a while. I think she views me as Alliance and did not want to talk about trade, saying none was done in the area.
Of course, earlier I found the village stash. No worries.
Zeno went to Azaadi along with some friends. She had hired someone for Kaden Security but they have frequent scheduling conflicts.
