Do we have NAP?

Observers report seeing a diplomatic message pass between Francis Ham and Trajan.

Emissaries of Francis Ham carry this message to all:

Nboma and me are doing some business now. This may or may not bear the significance of taking sides of one or another party in a conflict that may or may not exist. Do you want fries with that?
