Recently, the leader of the SFRIM corporation converted the biodome of her luxury yacht into a gardening exhibit, one showcasing gardens from throughout the Empire. It is altogether right that she should do this, for the flora and fauna of this cluster was made for man to glorify God with, and God is glorified when his Chosen create things of beauty from them. But our God is not only a God of goodness and beauty; he is also a God of wrath and cruelty, and so the garden that most glorifies God is the garden that combines unspeakable beauty and unspeakable horror; that is, horror inflicted upon those people whom God created for his Chosen to inflict horror upon; that is, horror inflicted upon slaves.
And so I have been converting the biodome of my own yacht into gardening exhibits, exhibits that synthesize the beauty of God's creation with the horror of slavery. The following exhibits are available GÇö
- Mountain Terraces of Thasinaz V: A replica of the famed terraces of Thasinaz V, where slaves toil amid monsoon conditions and average temperatures of 312.96 Kelvins, trimming the vines and picking the grapes that make produce some of the finest and sweetest Spiced Wine in the Devoid region. Climate controlled transparent enclosures allow visitors to experience the terraces in comfort; the slaves have no such accommodations. Spiced Wine tastings available for wine-loving visitors.
- Twenty Minute Gardens of Lower Debyl IV: The holders of Lower Debyl IV have one of the strangest gardening traditions in the cluster. The planet's 59.5 day orbital period already made gardening a high-maintenance endeavor due to the short seasons. Over time, however, they turned these difficulties into a sort of game, flaunting their wealth and status by creating evermore high-maintenance gardens, gardens that could only be cultivated by vast quantities of slaves toiling in the most miserable conditions. Visitors to this exhibit are given only a twenty minute window to experience it in relative privacy; on all other occasions the exhibit teems with slaves desperately trying to keep it operating GÇö visitors are invited to ponder the beauty of the garden and the temporarily invisible misery needed to maintain it.
- Man-Traps of Uadelah III: The holders of Uadelah III had a problem. Their vast plantations had a runaway slave problem, but slaver hounds performed poorly in the terrible 313.21 Kelvin heat. Fortunately, a solution presented itself in a form of a native carnivorous plant. By selective breeding of this plant, the holders produced the feared GÇ£Man-TrapGÇ¥, a slave-eating plant with which the holders fenced in their plantations. All visitors to my Man-Trap exhibit will experience (from a safe distance) a feeding. A feeding of slaves. Live slaves.
- Sani-Sabik Blood Garden: The Red Garden for a Red God. A work in progress, my enslaved Sebiestor Science Graduates have been tasked with engineering and hybridizing plant species that are colored various shades of Blood Red, grow in red colored soil, and which respond positively to fertilization with Minmatar blood.
Tours of my new yacht biodome may be given to very select, seriously interested parties. Amen. Amarr Victor.

It is not up to us to test the slaves as God will do so. It is up to us to teach them well enough to pass the tests. Some of those test might require survival, others might require sacrifice. But it will be sacrifice for a greater purpose, not sacrifice just for the sake of the sacrifice itself. |

I, for one, am amazed at the ability of Nauplius to take normal innocuous everyday activities, in this case, gardening, and turn them into something quite different.

If I find that thing in space, it's going to become a compost heap!
Actually, no, its debris will be scattered to fine atoms until they drift into the star fueling the next cycle of cosmic creation (and gardens). |

Ms. Valate, I'm trying to think of something-- anything-- really creative he's done that was his own idea. People have to be careful what they say around him, because he's shameless about stealing ideas.
Left to his own devices ...
"Oh, you like gardens, do you? Well ... let me just show you how HORRIBLE gardens can be!
"Behold! For here we have ... bad working conditions! And other bad working conditions! And man-eating plants! And blood-DRINKING plants! ... what's their color you ask? Why, RED, of course!
"BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAA!"
....
So-- I'm sorry. I can't really agree with you.
He's a hack. Which makes me feel even worse for the people he's doing this to, actually. They suffer and die, and what they're suffering and dying for ... it's not even any good. |

It will require a Raptor or a Stiletto with dual points/scrams to catch him.

I built a Temple for the summoning of demons bound to the destruction of Minmatar bloodlines. No one, except perhaps God himself through inspiration, suggested that one.

Oh, please, demon-summoning temples have been a staple of popular fiction forever. You really can't claim a shred of originality in that. |

Well, we'll see who's right, if and when Nauplius announces he's taken up philately or numismatics that somehow involves sacrificing Minmatar to the Red God.

If he is a coward doesn't that just make Naup look worse? It is sound advice either way and no Elmund isn't a coward as you say . |

From tone, I'd guess not.
Also, we'd be hearing about it in probably more detail if it had. |

Honestly, I'd better help Nauplius kill that Egivand. Maybe they are a good match for each other by their mental abilities, but still, Egivand is a formal enemy and Nauplius is a formal ally.

I know it's hard. I know there's a lot of bitterness in there. But it's not your fault. The only one who thinks you were incompetent was you. Let it go. |
