Unless I'm mistaken, this thread can't continue, until all arguments cncerning the Ando thread are finished, since it is based after the Ando thread, and at least one of the ships involved in the trade was at Ando.

Well, either A):
The arguements are resolved, and the thread finishes as it did, in which the Python survives.....

B): The thread was cancelled, so the Python still survives.

Or...
C:The thread continues, but from my first post.
D:The thread continues from the current point, taking in a couple changes to your latest post.

Favours for favours
Fond, but not in love
Charities counting orders

C: Won't happen.

D: Not likely to happen. My withdrawal was legal, and none of my ships were disabled enough to have a "Failed hyperspace jump"
