[CIT42] Caltech Institute of Technology

BY ORDER OF THE HIGH VICEREINE AND THE GRAND COMMISSARIAL OFFICE OF OUTBACK KRABHOUSE

Let it be known to all drifters, derelicts, and unwashed interlopers who stumble through the ripples of J-Space: You have entered the Sovereign Farm-Steads of Exit Strategy. By the grace of the Great Bob and the sharpness of our harvesting blades, the following laws are now in effect:

I. THE DIVINE RIGHT OF HARVEST
This system is not "unoccupied." It is a managed Scientific Sleeper Research Facility and Agricultural Estate. All Blue Loot, Fullerite Gas, and Sleeper technology are the exclusive property of the Unchained Alliance. Taking so much as a single unit of C72 is considered high treason and a violation of the Vicereine’s peace.

II. THE PEASANT’S PROTOCOL
Should you be found in a cloaked vessel within 100km of our "Compost Heaps" (Customs Offices), you will be treated as a common weed. We do not negotiate with weeds; we apply Planetary-Scale Herbicides (Torpedoes).

III. THE PERMANENT EXIT
Trespassers will be provided with an immediate and complimentary Exit-Strategy.

Note: This strategy usually involves the rapid disassembly of your hull and a high-velocity pod-delivery to the nearest medical station.

IV. THE COMMISSAR’S WARNING
The Grand Commissar of Crop Rotation reminds you that "Silence is Golden." If you speak in Local, you have already volunteered for the next "Experimental Hull Stress Test."

"We don't just live here; we cultivate the void. If you aren't here to pull weeds or pay tithes, you are simply fertilizer in a fancy hull."

FOR THE GLORY OF THE FARM. FOR THE SUCCESS OF THE EXIT STRATEGY.

Signed, The Arch-Exarch of the Emergency Hatch Her Radiance, The Vicereine of the Blue Loot
