Originally by: Rek Jaiga How do you believe peace can be provided for me? Or better still, for the entire cluster?
You could find something rewarding to do, rather than attempt to change people's minds over your own. Failing that, someone. Work and love will, I feel, do far more to heal your soul than any kind of direct neuromanipulation. As for the second part of your question, that's for the cluster to worry about, no?

I would overwhelmingly agree with this. It's not so much the neuromanipulation I believe in as the effects of it (notably cluster-wide peace, assuming Nation is correct. That's an entirely different subject which I've already spoken on).

I try to care for more than just myself, my family, or even my race. I tend to concern myself with all people.
I've been told such a way of thinking leads to high blood pressure and substance abuse, among other things.

It has come to our attention that members of the incursion fleet group known as 'Ditanian Fleet' have, in recent weeks, begun to refuse to assault the nation revenant during nation assaults upon constellations until the CONCORD status update notifies them that the nation force is mobilising prior to retreat.
To the best of our knowledge, nation forces only mobilise when their task in the constellation has been completed. Therefore it is apparent that those within Ditanian Fleet who support this agreement, or were involved in it's creation, are aiding nation.
While we are under no illusion that all members of this group are involved, as we were witness to more than one altercation due to this, it seems that the vast majority were at the very least, choosing to ignore the fact that their self appointed leaders have chosen to allow nation to succeed.
As for the reason:
ISK. These pilots choose to allow nation to complete their tasks, and mobilise in preparation to move on to another constellation due to the fact that under the current system, CONCORD reward them more, for allowing such events to unfold. as they clear more sites within the affected systems before the revenant is destroyed.
While we understand that the system CONCORD has implemented is automated, we also understand that it's intended use was to galvanise capsuleers into an effective force to battle nation, in this respect, it has failed.
Current primary fleets fighting incursions within empire space are using the system as little more than an ISK pool, yes, these fleets fight nation but they do so in a purposefully inefficient manner, and gain larger rewards for this, than if they fought them efficiently. This seems to be a flaw in the design of the system.
Captain Rivel, Shassandra, Ammzi, Drykor, Torash, Shareeth, Kithran.
These are just a few of the names we have seen referenced, or seen directly attempting to stop a fleet forming to end the threat of Nation within the Ajah constellation.

I commented on this some time ago in another forum, after observing the behavior in Araz (and getting very tired of that rusty tint).
On the one hand, the approach is actually quite efficient, if one's goal is to maximize bounty per minute. On the other, Nation has become little more than a co-conspirator in this effort to destabilize New Eden's economy: tremble in fear of the new dystopia, as it earns you security status improvements and wealth!
Granted, knowing how good the deal is makes it very difficult to work up much enthusiasm for other activities, and sapping motivation could be considered a valid weapon in war. I do find my affection for... that group... rising. No, really, "End" has more punch than "Equilibrium," while acronyms exude so little charm!

I personally would like to say these Ditanian fleet pilots give me no end of grief. The longer these Sansha's Nation monsters are allowed to prowl the systems, the more people they will kidnap and thus the more innocents are lost to the horrors of becoming Kuvakei's mindless slaves. If we can't do the job, the Capsuleers from CONCORD should. At least they will actually protect the people, whereas those who want to protect those Constellations cannot do so due to the greed of other Capsuleers, and the disinterest others have shown in human life.
I don't say this in the name of the Synenose Accord, but I say this as a brother to a victim of these invasions. If Capsuleers will not protect New Eden, then CONCORD's Capsuleers should.

Edited by: Unit XS365BT on 26/05/2011 02:13:52 As of this time, Unit Commune is preparing to expedite anti-Revenant fleet operations, Known followers of the anti-nation movement are requested to contact this unit at their earliest covenience to allow us to aquire necessary data for fleet formation.
Data requested :
Pilot Name. Armour or shield specialist. (state preference if both) Logistics cruiser capable & type. (state preference if both) Times & Days of standard availability.
It is our hope to form at least one fleet for the express purpose of locating and destroying Revenant class supercarriers during active high security incursions.
Should high security operations prove successful, we may expand the fleet's AOO to include nearby low security constellations.
Unit XS365BT. Designated communicator. Unit Commune.

Our faith lay in our duty, the sincerity of our intentions, our strong conviction that humanity must be protected and that Nation must fall.
Our perspective of faith may not coincide with any particular dogma of set of strictures belonging to a particular sect or religion, but it is faith none the less.
Please define faith in its significance to you own person pilot that we may offer a more understandable anwer to your querry if needed.
Does this answer your querry sufficiently pilot?

What I meant was, when comparing Nation and Unit at face value, they seem similar, or at least, of the same 'polarity'. Both groups stress unity and the hive mind, while Nation seeks the destruction of modern society (a Nationesque end) while Unit seeks the destruction of Nation (an Empyrean end: as this goal is shared by the 4 [5?] empires). Is this accurate? I know where I will be when my time comes. What remains to be determined is when I get there. |

Negative pilot. While we are in constant communication with our sister units, this is expedited by a remarkably simillar technology to that which your NEOCOM systems are built upon. We also do not seek to enforce unity upon the cluster, Diversity and struggle are the two greatest catalysts for change and advancement amongst the people of this cluster, this is not something that we feel should be interfered with.
Also, we do not directly seek the utter destruction of Nation, though this seems to be the most efficient manner to ensure it will not threaten the safety of the cluster at large at any point in the future. We seek to enforce Unit Directives, while adhering to CONCORD Directive Omega-One-Five.

Given the limited information presented at this time, we would asses the situation of each, then aid the one most likely to fall first. this would grant us a higer chance of reaching the second prior to their fall.

You have given the best possible answer, at least in my mind. I see that even in the darkest of situations you do what's best; I am satisfied. I was mostly interested in seeing your thought-process on so abstract a dilemma.

We shall, for ease of understanding, limit this response in scope. To clarify, our statements refer implicitly to humanity.
Creation and birth are, by definition, very separate events.
Consider a human birth. creation of said human usually occurs close to 9 months prior to this.
In the case of a capsuleer, you are first created, a biological imperative within the species, then born. After this initial birth, a capsuleer likely spends 18-30 years, or more, growing, learning and training to become a capsuleer.
It is at this point, that the capsuleer is 'created' once more, as a new body, containing the required implants for capsule interface is cloned for you, and you, as an entity, truly leave your old life behind, along with the body you spent your formative years within.

The question was to determine whether they have more human or robotic qualities. Humans are born, AI are created.

More pertinant questions for unit might be, do you feel? Do you experience regret? Do you have fondness, or even hate, for that matter, for others? I believe emotions keep us honest, or try to, with regards to our humanity. And, no, I don't think I am as human as I once was..
