News reaches Gutter Press of an incident on Luminaire VII (Caldari Prime), where a mob of Caldari people staged an angry demonstration in one of the Gallente administered areas.
The demonstrators claimed that ethnic Caldari are being forced out of the area by unscrupulous property developers, in order for Gallente citizens to move in.
Shenanigans !
Homeland Property Management, one of the property management companies named by the demonstrators, is alleged to have bribed Caldari residents to move out, offering them substantial sums of money to relocate to Caldari-administered areas. The vacated properties are then redeveloped and leased to Gallente tenants for sums considerably above the historical market value of the area.
The demonstrators allege that this is nothing less than real estate manipulation in order to price out Caldari people from the area.
Astounding !
Gutter Press agents spoke to several of the demonstrators:
"I heard that Homeland Property Management is a subsidiary of that "Reclamation Technologies" company, owned by that Gallente raconteur fellow", said one demonstrator. "Raconteur ? More like Racketeer if you ask me ! They're trying to drive us out of our homes. This is a Caldari city !", said another demonstrator. "This kind of market manipulation is hardly new to Caldari Prime. However, it is the motivation behind it that is the problem!", said another.
A Gallente tenant in the alleged affected property had this to say:
"Oh, it's ever so nice here. The management company was so very helpful. There was a little problem with some anti-social residents, but the company cleared that right up".
A Homeland Property Management spokesperson gave Gutter Press a prepared statement, and a basket of fruit.
Fruity !
The full text of the Homeland Property Management was as follows:
Quote:Homeland Property Management LLC... is an autonomously operated subsidiary of Reclamation Technologies. Its goals are wholly focused on the property market of Luminare VII. Our mission is to provide clients with the highest quality property services available. To bring a value added and highly competent team of property management professionals to the table for all our clients regardless income or ethnicity.

The fruit was tasty.

There wasn't ONE exotic dancer interviews in this article! I am outraged at the gutter press' lack of faith in its long-time advisors and providers of sensational reports!

Well, even leaving out the question of whether all Caldari are really comfortable with being sorted out and segregated from their Gallentean neighbors, you might consider how many of those homes are ancestral dwellings.
There's Home, and then there's your own home. Being manipulated out of that after holding onto it maybe for generations isn't something that I would expect to sit well with most Caldari. |

We support the action of these Caldari citizens. The FLMPP have cells in all the Gallente zones and will carry out retaliatory action against all those we deem guilty.

Indeed and furthermore, the Caldari who moved were "bribed." That implies that they were at the very least paid fair market value for their property, or there would have been no financial incentive to move and the "bribe" would fail. This further implies that Federation corporations are transferring wealth to the Caldari population of Caldari Prime - wealth which can be used to the rebuilding of Caldari neighborhoods on that planet.
Why Gallente citizens are agreeing to pay above fair market rates for the property under redevelopment is not the State's problem. If anyone should be outraged, it is Federal citizens. To the extent that State citizens refuse to pay above market rates, they are not being discriminated against - they are being sensible.
The subject of Caldari Prime, however, reminds me that I remain irritated at the authorities for not using my Giant Metal Eating Mushrooms to eat the Leviathan wreckage. I am happy to report that Great Frozen Tekojarvi, just over the northern pole, is a sparkling glow-in-the-dark winter wonderland of crystalline waters and greatly recovered fish stocks.
I would visit, but... issues. |

Apparently the planet wasn't challenging enough so they drove a ship into a station.

Before you get all high and mighty there slaver let's recall that it was the Caldari who started down that road by secretly constructing stargates, launching militarized exploration missions and developing offworld colonies so they didn't have to share the profits with their then partners, the Gallente. Then when caught red-handed they first lied then later, squealed like guilty children about not being allowed to have their way or, "be Caldari".

Dear Proper Authorities,
Should you find your planet bombed from orbit, I would like to point out that my Giant Metal Eating Mushrooms descend from cell samples acquired on and around shattered planets in worm space. Not even an exploding star will kill them and they adore, positively adore, toxic heavy metals of a radioactive variety. They just gobble them up. Or, rather, they extrude fungal hypha... hydrolisks... which spit radiodurans water bears that secret an acidic emulsion which... how does that all work again, Caldari Graduate Assistant?
Caldari Graduate Assistant?
I suppose she is doing her hair.
Anyway, in the event Caldari Prime should be subjected to renewed orbital bombardment, please do not hesitate to contact the Hematology Advancement Program for all your detoxification needs. In addition to proven organic reclamation technologies that will make the planet both hospitable and stunningly beautiful in no time, we can offer unique gene therapies to citizens otherwise certain to die from radiation sickness and disease.
Although rarely given credit where credit is due, Sani Sabik institutions of higher learning have, though millennia of painstaking (yes, yes, and painful) research developed the most advanced medical science in the Cluster. Our rates are reasonable, and in any event would never amount to more than one third of your surviving population!
Sincerely,
me |

Quite right. And we all know the punishment for tax evasion and having terrorists on your planet is the death of your children, right?
Please. Let's not do THIS again? It's been less than a month since the last time.

Mr Bete, forgive me for being a little sharp but I didn't get much sleep last night so my tolerance for ignorance and hypocrisy common to your people is a little low.
First, I'm not a "slaver". I don't own any. You can call my Empire slavers sure but that just shows your wilfull ignorance of my people's culture and hierarchy. There's a lot of us who don't own slaves. But please, continue being dismissive as of I don't have a personal stake in this topic because you don't understand us.
Second, the Caldari are a little more then just allies to me. I'm not of them anymore, sure, but my father was. And he died on that planet by Gallentean hands no less. Now you know it's personal.
Third, it seems to me that you're saying 'sorry' yet babbling justification after justification in mitigation. You're either sorry or your not. Which one is it? Will your people accept their self confessed mistakes whole heartedly or is the cliche of a Non-Apology the norm?

What? I have certainly never prescribed to a do as I say, not as I do, mentality as regards my own sentiments. I have made mistakes in life and had others capitalize on my personal and professional failures -- as they should. At times it was duplicitous, but I cannot fault others for having played their games well. It at least taught me the dangers of being overly sentimental.

Oh, gods, Veiki. Where should I begin....
So, you say that you can't fault others for playing their (duplicitous) games well. That's a fair sentiment, but the path you've outlined for yourself in the path is that of a weapon-- a blade to be wielded by others.
We have differences, you and I. This is something we've sort of had in common, though. I've tried to be something pretty straightforward, a simple blade of high quality and fine workmanship. You've ... been something a little more exotic. To my eye, you appear to have a really excessive number of barbs, blade breakers, disembowling hooks, blood channels, and maybe that triangular blade that makes stab-wounds really hard to close. But I would say that, being as I am. I'm prepared to accept that you are who you are, and that you do a reasonable job pursuing the person you try to be.
This, though, isn't really optional: a weapon, to be worth using as anything short of a desperate act, has to be reliable. It has to be trustworthy.
It's fine to accept others' duplicity. I, also, don't really hold it against people; there are a lot of ways for people to live. But in our present time, I think the avatar and exemplar of the attitude you express is Anyanka Funk. You'd think no one would trust her, ever, but somehow she seems to constantly find new people to play with ... and to play.
You say that you don't seek friendships or positions where duplicity would gain you any conceivable advantage. ... well, you might not have sought it, but you do have a position like that. If you can't see the possibilities, you might be a better person than you imagine you are. Or maybe you're just really unimaginative, but I don't think that's the case.
Actually, I think you're a hypocrite about this. ... and I think that's to your credit. If I thought you actually believed what you've been saying, I could never have trusted you at my wing or back. Neither could anyone else. And yet you're a trusted and reliable member of the most effective team of pilots I know.
In spite of all you've said, I think you're a trustworthy person, Veiki. As a weapon, you're flashy and unnecessarily vicious, but you're not the sort to turn on your wielder.

It's really quite simple: Sometimes people need to die, so I will go ahead and kill them with due diligence. This has been the case whether I was shoving a sharpened entrenching tool into some dissoc meatbag's face or cracking open a hull plate like a Suvali Jewel Crab with some heavy ordnance.
If I am trusted and relied upon, then it is due to the fact that when it comes to the good old fashioned ultraviolence I have always done exactly as I have said I will do. There exists a mutual self-interest, I at times need others to secure a kill, and they need to know that I'll do my job if they do theirs. That is the basis of the relationship for me -- professional equanimity. Nothing more, nothing less.
I fail to see what is flashy or unnecessarily vicious about being honest.
The very reason I can afford to be honest is because I see no current advantage in being duplicitous. Which is my entire point, there is nothing wrong with duplicity if it affords advantage for your own interests and the objectives you work towards. Even less wrong if those disadvantaged are probably just a bunch of dissocs squatting on the Homeworld.
