Ponce

"Hmpffff... Falushe? He's is nothing more than a ponce.... an obscene fat who dreams of little girls that worship him. Did you know he's impotent?"

The Endavour

Personal entry:

It was disclosed today by IPCC officials that the recently hijacked ship was "The Endeavour" of Stelios Travel & Transportation, a company offering budget trips between the Rigel and the Vega system.

"The Endeavour" was a ship of the "Pharao" class, produced by Rimmond Gold Shipyards on Olliphane. This class was discontinued a decade ago when Rimmond Gold Shipyards was suffering from incapable management.

It has been officially confirmed that the hijack was performed by Woodrow Ink and his gang of thugs and that none of the crew survived. As to the fate of the 750 passengers on board of "The Endeavour" nothing has been revealed either, although for their wellbeing should be feared.

Phoenix?

With the five Demon Prices presumed dead has Oikumene, and Beyond for that matter as well, become a safer place? A just question....

For some time now we've witnessed a power vacuum, which is now - slowly - being replaced by a power struggle as new brigands crawl to the surface of our civilization.

One of the recurring names is Woodrow Ink III who, as rumor goes, started out as insignificant freelance henchman, occasionally doing legwork for Howard Allan Treesong. It now appears that Mr. Ink created a vast network of very illegal operations: piracy, slavery, kidnapping, contraband... anything goes and in well planned and structured operations, we might say.

Official sources from IPCC reluctantly confirmed that Ink's operations caused "some harm and damage". "He has appeared on our radar and we're quite vigilant..." an IPCC spokesman said today. Obviously IPCC vigilance is not enough as a long range star boat was attacked and plundered last week. The boat was towed to an unknown location, all 750 passengers were taken hostage; crew members were killed on spot. Their bodies floating in space as a sad epitaph of the attack. It was later confirmed that the operation was directed by Woodrow Ink himself.

"... that ugly bunch of weaseling and spying worms! They'll be as dead as rotten, stinkin' Dukoo's from Potton's Pond, I tell yah!!!"

Pirate, slaver, mercenary and general bastard

... having one of his intense and loud monologues on IPCC agents at Smade's Tavern, just before Smade knocked him out with a bludgeon for repeated disturbance of the tavern.
