February 25th
Grief strikes the beleaguered Reschard system for the second time as news arrives that a crucially needed relief convoy destined to aid the disaster victims falls to hostile forces only minutes after its departure from the safety of empire space.
VentureCorp corporation rallied to aid the distressed colonists after hearing of their plight. Sickened by the immoral actions of the Mordus Legion Command in their attempt to use the disaster as a smoke screen for smuggling munitions under the guise of humanitarian efforts, VentureCorp amassed a large amount of goods, services, and personnel and set out to provide a relief convoy to the colony. Perhaps in an act of atonement, The Servant Sisters of Eve were gracious enough to assist in the effort by supplying VentureCorp with one of their newest, most sophisticated navigation computers in order to route the convoy safely and directly to Reschard.
Astrogation System Route for Relief Convoy
The aid convoyÆs journey was cut short, however, upon entering the first lawless system en route as it was set upon by a lone battleship piloted by Rindarr of the PLAYBOY alliance. The convoy hailed all in the system as to their purpose traveling through but to no avail as the battleship let loose its drones and began to target and destroy the humanitarian industrial ships. Convoy pilots scrambled to use their minimal defensive capabilities to repel the attacker in a last ditch effort to get the goods through. The steadfast effort paid off as the tide of the battle changed and the battleship was damaged deep into structure with only the loss of a single industrial ship.
As the vile aggressor was seconds from being dispatched, the area surrounding the gate was suddenly filled with combat pilots belonging to the Band of Brothers alliance. All ships in the convoy immediately radioed for assistance from the combat pilots, identifying themselves as a neutral aid convoy en-route to provide relief to the Reschard system only to be met with cold silence as the Band of Brothers forces open fire on the PLAYBOY aggressor, ripping through the last vestiges of structure he had remaining. Aid convoy pilots were only allowed a brief moment of relief before the unimaginable happened. The assisting combat wing immediately turned their weapons upon the near-defenseless aid convoy as they unleashed a merciless barrage of destruction towards them as frantic calls for neutrality radioed from the haulers. The convoy stood its ground bravely in yet another effort to protect the desperately needed disaster supplies but were cut down to the last man; roughly half of the pilots losing their lives and waking up in clones nearby. The important cargo that once was destined to save lives lie smoldering off the HED gate, not even given a second glance by the marauders as they departed the scene.
The Reschard survivors have been denied life-saving foods, medicines, and equipment due to the bloodthirsty barbarism of one of the most hostile and unforgiving alliances in the galaxy. This cruel and callous act of intentionally destroying a neutral humanitarian aid convoy will live in infamy a glaring reminder of the hostile times we live in. No longer will supporters of the most hated alliance in the universe be able to hide behind their denial and illusions regarding this group of ruthless savages. Meanwhile, the death toll rises daily as colonists in the Reschard system remain un-aided.
The following link shows the atrocities that were committed against humanity on this day. Some scenes may be unsuitable for the younger audience and the weak of constitution.

I fear hell has no pit deep enough to accommodate those who disrespect the victims of such a catastrophe. However I would like to extend my congratulations to VentureCorp for being the first to have truly descended to rock bottom. -------

I'm saddened, obviously, for the orphans and families who will go without the massive amounts of aid we purchased for the victims of this disaster.
That questionable releif convoys may meet unfortunate ends is one thing. When deliberately un-escorted and harmless aid convoys, who broadcast thier humanitarian mission loudly and clearly, and have clearly visable cargo manifests are assaulted, it is clearly another.
We shall try again to assist those who seem to be forgotten.

I'm saddened at the failure of our humanitarian mission, and only hope that the spilt wreckage of supplies left at the gate to empire in HED-GP will serve as a reminder to all of the unremorseful terrorism which is abundant in the EVE-Universe today.
Think of the poor orphans. =( - - - - - - - - Encoded with ROT26 ù circumvention will be prosecuted! |

Mock? We honestly had cargo holds full of humanitarian aid, in un-escorted industrial ships, with our destination set for the disaster zone. We broadcast our intentions clearly, and fully intended to deliver all of the goods.
Shouldn't you be turning your judgement pen upon those who thwarted our mission, taking all of our clones in the process? Or are the morals you professed in your previous condemnation really so shallow as to change depending on who it is that is attempting the mission of goodwill?
In any event, it certainly seems that you care more about making statements against political organizations that you don't care for than you do about the true welfare of the people of Reschard.

I too am truely saddened by this blatent disregard for our Humanitarian efforts for the orphans of Reschard, the barbarism wiht which we were greeted by 0.0 pilots in a 0.0 system is, well .... its just shocking .
Those days spent hand picking the supplies for the shops in the Kithaled station, larger shops in Jita and taking in donations from Alliances was giving me and my corpmates a great sence of helping the little orphans on Reschard to have some vestige of happiness in these most troubled of times for them.
Alas the delivery was not to be as we were guned down in a hail of incoming rounds from 0.0 Brigands and Bandit Kings that have no respect for Human life. Truely a sad day indeed.
Oh my, how could you shoot people only trying to help the less fortunate .
I look to the pilots that have stood up for previous attempts to deliver aid to Reschard to stand up now and denounce the agressors and murderers that attacked our convoy, but i fear they will only, throw their well known rhetoric around the galnet in blind support for these 0.0 Brigands and Bandit Kings as they are freinds with them. or some long winded crudd to that effect.
Shame on you

Well we all had great concerns about the route as well, but we were given a fantastic new Navigation and route planning computer program from SOE, we punched in our destination and the system punched out the route you see in the above communication from my venerable Corpmate.
However the route was sound as far as the Nav Sys planned it out for us.
Hours later and im still deeply saddened it may be days until i fully recouperate

Oh, Right, since the Sisters of Eve are known terrorists who actively move munitions in attempts to bring down pigdog alliances of the north. We could only wish.
What we see here is the true face of these enclosurist factions. Not only do they target an innocent humanitarian supply convoy, but they then go on to mock the efforts of those who risked their lives to actually make a difference in this saddening disaster in a move where they blindly sacrificed the lives of their industrial crews.
The EVE community does not need to hear any more of your sick mocking of well-intentioned and honorable humanitarian groups. Maybe those who pander to your propoganda might almost beleive you in your sincerity, but in terms of sane people, even a blind man could see through your hollow guise.
And these are the same groups of people that call *us* terrorists and murderers, those who would so mock a humanitarian initiative. I urge everyone to think again who to beleive, this mindless propogandism that is but a shallow attempt to hide their barbarism, or instead your own free logical mind, the same free mind these enclosurists might seek to supress. Fear is the mind-killer. |

Did we hope to deliver this humanitarian aid to Reschard? Indubitably. Was our humanitarian mission announced. Assuredly. Are our critics missing out on the irony? Unquestionably.
Let's recap both tragedies...
The similarities between the humanitarian convoys:
A. Both took an odd, circuitous route through lawless space when much safer routes to their destination were available. B. Both were engaged as soon as they entered a 0.0 system.
The differences between the humanitarian convoys:
A. The Mordus convoy initiated hostilities, whereas the VentureCorp convoy was aggressed without provocation. B. There is still much doubt as to what exactly the Mordus convoy was carrying, whereas there is no doubt that the VentureCorp convoy was indeed full of humanitarian aid for the orphans of Reschard. C. All the haulers in the VentureCorp convoy were summarily destroyed, and the pilots podkilled, by Jericho Fraction's allies, whilst the freighters in the Mordus convoy mysteriously exploded while in warp - their destruction only being confirmed by anecdotal sources.
Draw whatever conclusions you will from these similarities and differences, but never for a moment doubt VentureCorp's sincerity in wishing to aid the beleaguered orphans of Reschard. Of course our long-time detractors from Jericho Fraction will once more try to twist and spin the facts involved in this latest development in order to cast further aspersions on our integrity. We fully expect them to redouble their efforts, as this most recent tragedy not only shows their own double standards, but also displays quite handily the inhumanity of their own allies in mindlessly aggressing a humanitarian mission.

As I lay awake last night staring out into the stars I held a breath for all those that this aid convoy could have helped. I wept knowing that many could have lived had the Venturecorp aid arrived safely to its destination.
It could have helped not people....but mothers, fathers, children and worst of all babies....Reschands future!
Only one word formed in my mind and I share it here.....why!
The criminals who openly fire on aid missions who state their purpose clearly upon entering a system are only adding to the deaths on Reschand and I hope all of you who consider these men associates will consider strongly whether your association with them is built on trust or fear.
No doubt every corporation reading this and feeling the pain of Reschard will post details of the aid they sent, if only to bring light to what is now showing its ugly face as a truely dark time. I look forward to hearing of your relief missions and can only pray for their success.
You look upon this with disgust. But I ask one question of you all... What have you done to help those dying on Reschand whilst you line your own pockets?
... ...
As I thought...Disgusting!

Mockery, disrespect.. I hear slanderous accusations from the same group who proclaims to have the loudest voice for the good of all, yet I see no actions.
When we set out in our convoy there was one, and only one ultimate goal in mind. A long time and much isk was spent in building up the supplies we intended to safely deliver to Reschard V. We took the initiative and made an effort to aid others. An effort that our detractors have neither come close to matching or will even recognize as truth as such recognition would shed light on their double standard.
They sit back in their stations, safe from real world pressures and responsibilities, mighty pens in hand while planning their next essay on cultural enlightenment while many others risk their lives and spill their blood in acts designed to make a difference in this universe of ours. Meanwhile the Reschard V colonists remain in peril.
I ask them now what have you done, besides pontificating upon your self-aggrandized delusions and double standards, to aid the Reschard V disaster victims? What have your allies done? All I have seen from these groups that were not even involved in assisting is a torrent of discredit directed at those who have. From one side of their mouth they condemn others for alleged acts of barbarism while the other side lauds an organization who openly displays an antithesis to what they espouse. Is this, in fact, not a double standard simply based on the fact that they currently aren't even in a situation where they would be in conflict, and hence they can do no wrong by them? The basis of most of their arguments is nothing but a twisting of logic in an attempt to question facts simply because those points they dispute are difficult to prove true while at the same time argue using the same logic they just attempted to discredit. This is the basest form of fallacious manipulation that aids and serves none other than themselves.
How can they be enlightened if they are truly this blind?
At the end of the day it matters not as words alone carry little weight without action. VentureCorp will once again attempt to bring what aid we can to the Reschard V disaster victims. Not through penmanship, but by direct action.
For those who only read the bottom line, contribute constructively or be silent.

Dude, you've accused the SOE corporation of being arms smugglers after their convoy got attacked by your buddies NBSI happy policies. Then you took a load of indies round sixty jumps into the claimed territories of people you have been demonising for the last 15months. You did that to mock a humanitarian disaster.
Venturecorp credibility = zero/nada/zilch
At the moment you sound like less like a corporation and more like cult of flat galaxy fanatics on an interbus tour with no sharp edges. For a joke to be amusing its got to be funny ... suiciding the unfortunate crews of your industrial ships to poke fun at the humanitarian disaster is as Joshua rightly pointed out, something of a new low in the history of 0.0 moronics.

Originally by: Desius You obviously missed the point. Our intentions and actions were made clear in a very public manner without the slightest subterfuge. This is a press release informing the public of the atrocities committed against our humanitarian efforts.
So if JF made our intentions clear to bring a "humanitarian" convoy though Deklein your friends in IRON/G/RAZOR would allow our ships to pass? No, I thought not, hence your comedic stunt remains just that. An insult to the issue at hand and stark proof of your distance from any civilised political dialogue.
Quote: If you wish to come here and try to tell us our motivations not humanitarian based simply on your speculation with no evidence to the contrary it won't be received any better than a random dog barking up a tree.
Lucky all the evidence exists in the ridiculous route portrayed in your opening post then isn't it?
Quote: Regardles of your personal opinion on the motivation behind our aid convoy - what have you done or tried to do by action?
ummm, shoot at your corporation and everything you stand for during the last six months? Hows that for an action. You imperialists need to be opposed, we oppose you. What else needs saying.
Quote: What is your contribution? All I've seen in response are words aimed to discredit.
And what exactly is wrong with seeking to discredit a bunch of brigands complicit in the destruction of a humanitarian escort fleet who then go on to compound their crimes by making a mockery of the humanitarian disaster by moving their own industrials into the gate camps of the people they've been demonising for the last 15 months?
Still, people will make up their own minds I imagine.

Jade, I'm quite sure if you contacted IRON/G/Razor with enough advance warning of your intentions it would be allowed - and in fact probably escorted as well. Have you tried?
As to your reply to the question of what you have done as far as actions over words, the context of that question was in regard to the Reschard relief efforts.
Quote: And what exactly is wrong with seeking to discredit a bunch of brigands complicit in the destruction of a humanitarian escort fleet...
Nothing is wrong with it. By all means, start discrediting. You could start here. Some starters for you: The convoy was not in "BoB space" and they had no knowledge of our actual planned route other than the destination and intention we made public when they jumped in.

All we hear from you is hot empty air full of rhetoric. Hot air is fine when however that empty rhetoric costs lives it is nothing short of tyranny.
You see I have had to listen to you spouting on endlessly about how wonderful the so called æinalienable rightÆ to self determination is. About how you respect anyoneÆs right to set boundaries and then you take a haulier and drive it right through those boundaries and try to blame people for defending boundaries that you said you respect. All you have done is expose yourself for the tyrant you really are. The sad thing is it has cost lives needlessly.
As for Jericho Fraction our ideology is not just empty words that we looked up in a dictionary. We practice free space with anyone who wishes to respect the same. It is not simply empty rhetoric we share time and help anyone who asks for it and we have an open and friendly approach to all we meet until they fire on us. We practice what we preach on a daily basis.
All you have done here is run a great big hauler right through the middle of your own Nationalist doctrine. All you have done here is expose yourself as the vile snake you really are.

Not true in the slightest. You see, while we are immensely saddened and shocked that our aid convoy was so callously destroyed, we very much do accept that those ruling the regions we enetered have a right to do with us what is appropriate for thier laws and customs.
I can hate the action, but also defend to my dying day the right to make the action.
PS I may have been so taken by your arguements, that briefly, just briefly I decided that I not only wanted to make a difference personally for the people of Reschard, but also wanted to do so in a manner I was sure you wouldn't object to, so that you might come to accept us in your brothers in arms. Since JF seemed to so side so strongly against those who interrupted the SOE convoy, we decided to use thier model (with major improvements) in order to please you. We so wanted, during that brief time of conversion, to make you see that we were trying to understand and help. Though saddened by the result of the convoy, we were lifted in spirit knowing that when we reported our effort on the forums, you would take our side, and maybe even take us under your wing and teach us.
Your character has flipped though. And you condemn us for being on the opposite side of what you had condemned us for to begin with. Our sadness was unbearable, and our brief conversion was broken. If anything, we now are more focused on our original belief system than ever.

so we finally reach the truth that is Venturecorpse. Half truths, and the machinations of manipulation. You were never really interested in securing humanitarian aid all you wanted to do was to try to entangle JF. Now that this has not worked and since we have exposed the inconsistency in your actions you come back with a half thought out reply all the while still defending the Pigdog.
Every time you post you expose more of the farce of VenturecorpseÆs æhumanitarianismÆ. So go ahead, be my guest and respond again.

Edited by: Morrganna on 26/02/2006 18:50:32 yes this is a sad day indeed for all the orphans of reschard, for this vile and inhumane band of brothers to destroy a relief convoy. what is this universe coming to when people feel threatened by food and bandages being sent through their space.
i would hope that the government of reschard would open up the adaption of these orphans to capsuleer pilots in hopes that they might can lead a somwhat normal life.
venturecorp this was a great deed you were doing i only hope you can keep up the good work.

I'm sorry, 34 entire days my senior doesn't earn you a wink passing in local much less the automatic respect you seem to require.
I figured the "right by the gun" method of diplomacy that you're constantly extolling as one of the 'bad' things about the north would eventually take hold after words failed. I'm sorry, I generally don't pilot battleships much anymore. Too many more useful ships to pilot these days.
