No.

After what happened to Baza? Yeah no.

 Baza, the Farfallen Rim world occupied by Rychart, or Baza, the Moklumnue trading post in my ST4X game?
 Either way, probably for the best. I have a corporation, so i basically am the government, at least before 200 AE.

Baza: Occupied by Rychart: Bombed to hell and back by Cadar.

"Corporations don't have to lobby the government anymore. They've become the government."
"So... does that mean governments lobby corporations now?"

[Tomas of Moklumnue]

Oh, you bet.
Corporate Dominion! My favorite Stellaris civic!

"So I've got this great theory about human history."

"Oh shit,,, not sure I want to hear this"

"Come on. Don't worry, it's easy to grasp. It's about that one origin myth, you know, that guy named Adam or something that was a gardener."

Deep sigh and moan.

"So this Adam was created by some mysterious being called God right? God figures one day that Adam must be pretty lonely being the only one around. So he whacks Adam over the head to knock'em out. Cuts him open and takes out a few spare ribs he wasn't using. Chooses the best one and makes a clone of Adam. But he goes one step further and not only is it a clone but it's his gender opposite. A girl. I mean this God dude got some serious med skills man."

"Your point."

"Think about it. This Adam dude get it on with his clone. He's the first guy in history to literally go f$%k himself!"

[Tomas of Moklumnue]

The first couple in history of Mankind.
Take that as a warning, fellow spacers. I personally don't care what chromosomes you have, this applies to all: love is a drug. Literally, it basically releases into your brain the same rush Spice does. It hits hard, pal, and then slowly fades, leaving you stranded with an partner you'll grow to despise, 3 annoying kids and 20k in debt. The only thing worse than the chains of gravity are the chains of marriage.

[Tomas of Moklumnue]

Alright, guys, we've been having a lot of fun, but now it's time to say something serious. Zé Pedro, who's basically my country's version of Kurt Cobain, just passed away recently.
So, i'd like to raise a Spice glass in his honor. Shalun bless, rudder man.

[slayernz]

Who's Kurt Cobain

And really, marriage isn't that bad. In fact, as a spacer, I don't get to see my wife for decades at a time. It's really good that we live for a few hundred years, or we'd be in a bit of strife. At least I'm an officer though - if I were one of the red-shirts, my life expectancy would be in the months not centuries.

And on the fourth day of Christmas, my true love sent to me,
Four Templar squad mates
Three Syndacates
Two Trese Brothers
And a Star Ship in a quadrant.

(Sorry - started this a bit late)

[slayernz]

Oh and obviously kidding about who Kurt Cobain is ... he was clearly a trainer for youth deep sea salvage.

[Tomas of Moklumnue]

Very funny.
You kidding me, if i had a wife, we'd both be spacers, going all around the Quadrant, trading stuff, meeting new people, getting some Spice.
But yeah, i dom't want to act like i can foresee the future or nothing, but i don't see myself settling down. I mean, there's this smuggler gal i mentioned earlier who "pilots my shuttle" every now and then, but i'm afraid my heart belongs to the Stars.

[Tomas of Moklumnue]

Shit.
Should have said freighter. Meh, what's done is done.
So what have you guys been up to in Da Quadrant? Me, i just got myself a new ship. Thulun longbow. Worst ship design i've ever seen, but boy, it's got some cargo and guns.

[Zer0Winds]

"Guys, how are we allowed in here?"

"What do you mean?"

"Well, after escorting that Arbiter chick, we're kinda on the deep end of negative relations with De Valtos."

"I'm getting serious Deja Vu from this conversation."

"What, you mean I've asked this before?"

"Of course you have... Nothing you say is new."

"Hey... At least my questions make sense!"

"...We're talking about a Spice Hall... That allows talking digisheep clones, a talking cat with a large hatred of Steel Song, two Steel Song Bounty Hunters, an Independent named after a Moklumnue, who's slightly obsessed with the syndicates, a rabbit with a chainsaw, and I think there were some Templars in here before. You're REALLY going on about making sense?"

"Uh, how much spice are you on?"

"What do you mean?"

"... ... ... WE'RE one of those Steel Song!"

"Yeah, exactly my point."

[Tomas of Moklumnue]

Who told you i'm slightly obsessed with the Syndicates.
I hang out around their space because they want me dead less often, that's all.

[slayernz]

I don't have a large hatred of Steel Song. It's iddy biddy little hatred. I just wear it on my shoulder like all good cats do.

You ever see a cat hiding its emotion? It's angry - it swipes at you. It's feeling neglected. It swipes at you. It's feeling frustrated. It swipes at you. It's feeling jealous. It swipes at you. It's feeling an overwhelming urge to destroy all remnants of a corrupt and inbred clan who's lineage includes at least five generations of Ratkin, two Hund-offspring, and goes by the name Steel Song. It swipes at you, presses multiple red buttons, and watches a volley of HK Torps take out the nearest dozen Steel Song ships.

Oh ... It's feeling happy. It playfully swipes at you.

[Tomas of Moklumnue]

Some people think cats rule the world. Its false, though.
Everyone knows, or should know, that the world is run by internet edgelords with fetishes for asian women, and all policies put in place by Trump and the Kremlin are actually just a distraction carefully guided by their Shadow Counsil within the corporate holdings of major technology and clothing products, to hide the chinese/mongolian sex slave smuggling networks.

But intead of focusing on such complex politics, let us intead adress the elephant in the room.
Why do we always come to this specific Spice Hall?
