Until very recently I was a slave. Ironic isnÆt it that I was not freed by my own efforts or by those of my vocal kin, but by the order of Empress Jamyl I. As you would expect I came to the Republic to see the shinning paradise created by my long freed cousins. I told myself while being treated like sick cattle in the immigration processing facilities that it would be better once I was home. The camp I found myself in wasnÆt too bad. I had seen worse. Being an adherent I found others that kept the Faith. The Salvation Crusade gave us hope. The glares, slaps, and spit I could handle, from the less tolerant of my kin. Then Jarek was martyred for no other reason than his Faith. A free man made a free choice, and was murdered for it. I live in the Federation now, at least here freedom is more than a slogan.

Good luck out there. Jarek was one of many. A fellow like yourself has good reason to be wary, even in the Fed.

Perhaps if you were "freed" by our Empress you should look into your heart and come live, work, and help, the Empire who saved you. Obviously you were meant for more...

Life in the Republic is not easy. If you respect life beyond your own, then perhaps you will see the necessity to fight the hate you yourself encountered in the Republic. The Federation is a decent place for freed slaves...but I hope you treasure your freedom for what it really represents.

Jamyl didn't come into power until after the Elders attacked and gave her the opportunity...are you so sure it wasn't due to the actions of your 'kin'? ------------------------------------------------

>Graelyn I thank you for your warning, and I shall heed it as your reputation precedes you.
>Darth A30NZ I thank you most humbly for your kind comment. I will keep the Faith and consider your words.
>No Ms. Michio the Empress did not issue an order just FOR ME. If you would spend more time on current events and less time fixing your hair you might embarrass yourself less often. ~Refers Ms. Micho to the news.~ ôIn the months following Empress JamylÆs emancipation announcement, millions of released slaves have made their way to the welcoming arms of the Minmatar Republic. Millions more still remain within the Amarr Empire.ö
>Eran Mintor I cannot argue with your comment. You are correct perhaps I should have stayed and kept the Faith.

First: I would like to thank you for giving credit where credit is due. Empress Jamyl IÆs emancipation freed more Minmatar than all the efforts of terrorists and revolutionaries combined have managed to do. It is nice to see one of your race who can reason outside of blind hate.
Secondly: I have heard it said that nearly a third of the population of the Federation is of Minmatar ancestry. It is my personal opinion that if the Empire is to thrive we must make a place for freed Matar. Third: I am glad you had the sense to understand that the ôFaithö as you call it is larger than the Amarr. We are servants of God; you are a servant of God. As to leavening the Republic, their attempts at democracy failed. Apparently one is free in the Republic as long as they think, act, and believe, correctly. Ironic isnÆt it. Your home Mr. Jan is in the Empire, come home.

Good luck in your Travels Mr Jan.
Keep the God and Faith strong in your heart. While others have returning to the Empire, I say, come home when you are ready. Remember what Jarek did for the Enlightened amoung the Matar. Remember that, and I have faith that you will survive any harm that lesser men will attempt to do to you.

Mr. Adaal I thank you for your viewpoints and your advice. I think you are correct in that if given the chance the "freed Minmatar" could be of service to the Empire and all of its people.
Mr. Ry I thank you for your advice. I must be honest in saying that I have been joyfully surprised by the kind encouragement and welcoming consideration from those who were my former masters.

. What you must understand is that "if" you were freed by our Empress then her will is Gods and as such you are as free a man as your former masters. The only thing left for you to do is embrace God and perhaps find a way to help people such as your self.

I'm sorry for the doubting you I really am but I have no way to verify anything you say, I know very well about how our Empress freed many of of your kind and am only trying to say what I think should be done in such a situation.

Mr. Darth A30NZ Please donÆt be sorry I took no offence as none was given and understood what you meant. I was simply trying to clarify that my freedom was a gift given, not earned or deserved. I intend to take your advice to, ôembrace God and perhaps find a way to help people such as yourself.ö Again I thank you for your transmittal and kindness.

Wellà I would like to thank you all for your kind advice. I have considered everything that was said with careful consideration. I have prayed for guidance and received it in an unexpected way.
In gratitude for my emancipation I cannot in good faith take up arms against the Empire. But I am a Matar and I cannot abandon my people to sin and Godlessness. It would also be dishonorable of me not to serve the Federation, with all my will, where I now live, and of which I am now apart.
So..
I have decided to continue my support of the Salvation Crusade but not the Democracitst movement within the Republic. In this way I can encourage my kin to embrace the message that Brother Abel Jarek brought to the Republic. That we are all children of God, and thus disserving of salvation, and forgiveness.
In doing this, it is my fervent hope that through his message, peace will come. That my kin no matter where they live will embrace the one true Faith, in freedom and prosperity.
Again I humbly thank you all for your advice, understanding, and forbearance with my indecision.
I bid you all... peace.

Mr. Eran. Needless to say Ms. Ilin and I have a à history. ~refers Mr. Eran Mintor to a transmission titled ôA Sermon for the Unfreeö.~ She has styled me a plague rat before.
I assure you Ms. Ilin I know the path chosen is controversial. I hope you will understand that it is out of a sincere wish to help my kin, to foster faith and peace, by spreading the word of God. I chose The Faith of my own free will, without evasion or secrete motivation. What Ms. Ilian, about me or my faith offends you so? What is so frightens you about the truth?

You offend me because you are a turncoat. You chose their faith even with it being the reason for your slavery.
Your faith offends me because were my own people not so strong and not so proud we would be slaves just as you were.
Show me that your faith is the one true faith. Show me that The Ones behind The Stars are not real and that our ancestor's do not watch us from behind the stars as well. Show me how your god can love us and allow for the subjugation of our brothers.
Show me this and I will become the most devout disciple of your god.

~Wares an amused smile as the terminal comes to life~
Greetings Ms. Ilian. You are fast becoming my favorite Pagan.
ôYou offend me because you are a turncoat. You chose their faith even with it being the reason for your slavery.ö
Whom am I betraying? I was born in the Empire, and freed by the Amarr. I did not at first chose my faith. It was required. But as I came to understand I saw the beauty of its universal truth. My faith or the Faith isnÆt the reason for my former servitude. Quite the opposite. While my body was still the property of another my soul was Godsà I was free before I was freed.
ôYour faith offends me because were my own people not so strong and not so proud we would be slaves just as you were.ö
I believe someone warned you about the sin of pride beforeà From what I understand of your people there strength is based on raw power, not art, reason or faith. You serve masters who serve themselves. How many wage slaves exist in the State? Free them Ms. Ilin. They are closer to home.
ôShow me that your faith is the one true faith.ö
I cannot. I can tell you the truth. Show you the works of the spirit. But it is up to you to believe. Judge me by my works.
ôShow me that The Ones behind The Stars are not real and that our ancestor's do not watch us from behind the stars as well.ö
I will not comment on another faith. But I find it interesting that you can believe in spirits. That is a hopeful sign. ôShow me how your god can love us and allow for the subjugation of our brothers.ö
God allows us to subjugate ourselves to his will. The choice is ours. If one man enslaves another it is not Gods sin. God is sinless, eternal, and just. He give us the freedom to choose good or evil.
ôShow me this and I will become the most devout disciple of your god.ö
This gives me the greatest hope of all. For is shows that you still seek. That your heart isnÆt so hardened that can hear no plea. Seek God Ms. Ilin, he is closer than you think.
Well. This à Plague Rat needs some sleep. I have much work to do.

Perhaps some were supposed to be slaves and those who are not were not. Believe me when I say this, If God's will was for "your" people to serve him they would and chances are there are some who do... Don't question God, it's kinda silly don't you think?

The god you speak of doesn't exist, only in the minds of your people and their priests. Your god is only an excuse to do horrible things to others and justify your own selfishness.

~leans into the terminal apparently having trouble seeing the text~
Dear Ms. Callibri.
It grieves me to hear about the misfortunes of your kin, and I thank you for your tolerant explanation, in the light of my ignorance. There have been many misdeeds done in the name of God. The sins of man are manifest. God remains just. I donÆt think we will ever agree on matters of faith, but I wish you and yours peace, prosperity, and health.
~leans in as if to terminate the connection as his face turns grim~
I hope you will forgive me if form time to time I mention you in my prayers. Your statements regarding the reprehensible acts of Du'uma Fiisi are appreciated by those who follow Abels path.

Since nobody else has said this in so few words: congratulations on your freedom and welcome to the Federation. Feel free to contact me personally if you want for anything while establishing your new life.
I think that, for now, this is a good place for you. You can even have a permanent place in Gallentian society as long as you don't develop the paternalistic tendencies that lead some religionaries to 'do whatever it takes' to save people who don't want saving...but I don't believe you are going down that path. You seem much more level-headed. :)
Both the Amarrians and the Matari who have posted in this thread thus far have the best intentions in persuading you to embrace one way of life over another. You have been serving others for your entire life, though. My advice: take a bit of time off and serve yourself for a while. Discover some new things before letting someone else tell you that you are wasting every minute not spent in a convent or a Thrasher. Let's fill the stars with love! |

Mr. Kenshin. Thank you for your welcome. I am grateful for the opportunity the kind and tolerant people of the Federation have given me. The Federation is truly a special place. It grieves me that I must leave it. The actions of Zuzanna Alondra and those who serve her have reminded me of my obligations.
~refers Mr. Kenshin to another transmission~. I see the shame of my fear. I have left my employer in the Federation, sold my few belongings. I will return to the Republic and uphold the teachings of Bro. Abel Jarek.
a.Faith. b.Forgiveness. c.Justice.
We will spread the teachings of the Faith to all who will hear it. We will provide what humble support we can to the Believers with the Republic.

Weaklings and race traitors, then. Because with a third of our living kin remaining trapped within the Empire and its institution of slavery, we're not finished buying that freedom yet.
