Mysterious Cult Unveils Statement of Intent

By Megan Luz
Al Raqis Raconteur
Al RAQIS - This esteemed publication today received a letter of intent from the mysterious cult, the Jadist Congregation, operating on the desert world of Araxes. The group, who has so far been reticent to talk to the public, also issued an identical statement to the higher governmental office of the planet, the Laandsrat, at their gathering yesterday. The group's aims are lofty however they provided little detail upon how they would achieve their aims with some members of government deriding the group as "unorganised" and "childish."

The organisation came into existence following the death of prominent upcoming politician, Jade Moonkill, who campaigned against a controversial cure proposed by the Araxes government. Investigations into the assassination have so far proved slow causing many to speculate that the lack of a conviction has caused a groundswell of suspicion towards the Great Houses and associated bodies that rule the planet. Unsubstantiated reports have also claimed that Moonkill, a 34 Tau native and carrier of a rare genetic disease, may also have been involved in an 'organ legging' operation involving the transfer of illegally sourced organs and that her death may have been caused as a result of an agreement turned sour. Friends of the late Ms. Moonkill have were reluctant to comment.

The statement reads as follows :

The Solemn Words of the Jadist Congregation

We deliver this message to the Laandsrat in the hope that the Time of Strife can be avoided. Too much blood has been spilt on this world and others like it. A time of great darkness approaches but that destiny can be avoided and time of divinity can come upon us all.

We ask the following:

1. That the murderer of the Messiah Jade Moonkill will be delivered to the Jadist Congregation. Their fate will be decided by the Council of Ghosts.

2. That the Laandsrat will immediately dissolve and hand over power to the Beit Dawla as the Messiah demanded.

3. That the Laandsrat will be replaced by the Church of Jade and we shall administer teachings of love and prayer to the people so that they may live in happiness. Democracy through faith! All who believe in the Messiah Jade Moonkill will live by her teachings. Only then will peace and tranquility spread throughout the galaxy.

These are the words of the Jadist Congregation through the Messiah's Emissaries.

Do not choose a path that will spill the blood of the people. Choose the path of love and forgiveness.

Praise Jade and may she bless you all.

A Chance to Own DeepDesert

Vooper Werribee

AL RAQIS - The Deep Desert region is available to rent. You will get Estate Management access to the whole region for 32000 Lindens a month.

In fact you can terraform and reparcel and set the place up however you want. A smugglers base? a seitch? a native village? A chance to set up an uber base for your own faction?

It is a Homestead region with a prim allownace of 3750 prims.

It currently has the SSFS renting 1000 prims on it for 11000 Lindens so if you keep them as tenants then it only costs 21000 L

But hurry - this once in a (Second) Lifetime offer won't be around for long. The next payment to Linden Lab is due for the region on 26 May and if no-one takes it over I'll be cancelling the region before that date.

Contact Vooper Werribee if you are interested.

Possible new threat in Mu Draconis

The last image from the Nostroomo
before the signal was lost.

CNS staff in Arraxes interecepted a transmission from a ship on the outskirts of the Mu Draconis system that seemed to report an attack of some sort.

The text of the message is as follows:

"This is the Frigate Nostroomo. We are being boarded by entities unknown. We spotted a huge armada.. and are trying to get within range to communicate coordinates. We have been chased by 'Dusant' group of scout ships. 

OH. Oh we are being fired upon... [laser fired heard in background]. Sending image of aliens intruders. Please anyone out there, hel- [static burst as transmission ends.]"

The alien seen in the last image sent before the signal was lost could not be identified. Those who can identify the species is encouraged to contact the CNS or Arraxen authorities.

House Barca coup plot revealed

A spokesperson for House Barca over the weekend confirmed rumours that a coup plot has been uncovered within the House.  "The conspirators are currently being held in a safe place", said the House representative, although he would neither confirm nor deny that any prisoners are being held in one of House Barca's rumoured offworld training establishments, only saying that they are being "re-educated and will be able to usefully serve society in the future."
