"If the latest news on the collapse of the TTi/M0o Alliance is to be believed at face value, as was predicted by many, then once again TTi has been exposed as both frauds and fools."
Since it wasn't an alliance I guess your out of luck? As for the NAP it allowed us to concentrate on building ........
Oh well, I guess you can find out eventually......
In the meantime I'm trying to figure out what your motivation to continually trash TTI is. I assume your either A) A fired member or B) A rejected applicant (or C a flamer?) who is just trying to "get even". Of course your last thread about Ctaesis ended badly for you as well as this one has.
Personal attacks aside perhaps you'd do us the pleasure of telling us a little about Jerico and what you do? I mean I can't understand this blinding need to criticize another company that has done nothing to you? Perhaps you could explain it to us?

Calladen Nimitz strolls into his office in a small building located on the TTI campus. Walking over to the window he gazes out at the barren landscape. Located deep within Caldari space at a hidden location the headquarters was not conventional but efficient.
Turning his back he snaps "OCEAN" outloud and walks to his chair. Sitting behind the large desk he swivels to again look out the window this time viewing a holographic image of a lush tropical coastline. The soft roar of waves in the distance filter through hidden speakers at the base of the glass giving the impression of being on a coast. The smell of tropical breezes and water roll in through specially designed eminators located around the room. Now he felt at home.
Turning back to his desk he activates his personal computer and watches as a holographic image of the days events appears in front of the desk. Scrolling through them with a small remote controller he pauses at one story.
"Jerico" he mumbles slowly.... shaking his head.
The Jerico corporation had been spreading rumors about TTI for awhile now. Mostly without fact or basis but annoying just the same. Calladen had tried to figure out the reason for the vicious attacks but to date had been stumped. He knew nothing about the Jerico CEO or his staff.
First there were the lies about an alliance with the m0o pirate corp. An NAP is all that existed. When those stories fell apart Calladen saw a new front with payoffs to m0o being claimed. In reality nothing was paid yet the Jerico claims continued. Then they leaked the story of a wayward trader who was involved in a case of "wrong place, wrong time". Jerico tried holding that up as an example of TTI corruption yet when it was revealed TTI had already apologized and paid full restitution to the trader that attack fizzled too.
Everyday new complaints appeared on his screen, accusations without fact, lies without evidence. Today was no different.
As he read the story on the holographic screen he saw the initials INO and paused. He hadn't joined TTI until after the INO incident but he recalled reading about them after being about made a TTI Executive. The confidential files told the true story of ShadowStalker and the stolen information.
He recalled reading how ShadowStalker had paid someone in TTI and purchased stolen data from the TTI confidential mainframe. He then used the information to incite conflict within the galaxy. Publically sharing what was privledged TTI information with everyone who would listen.
All as a result of INO and ShadowStalker.
TTI was enraged. War was declared on INO when they refused to issue a retraction. Eventually ShadowStalker was expelled by INO and the war ended. Still for some unknown reason INO fell by the wayside. TTI was hardly to blame yet now this Jerico guy was blaming that on TTI as well. INO had helped negotiate the peace between TTI and Endless back during the horrible Endless war. Now this.
Slamming his fist on the desk he stops and smiles suddenly. Flipping a button on the chair arm he waits for his assistant to answer.....
"Yes Mr. Nimitz"
Thinking for a moment he says "Call Zodiac. Tell him I have a job for him"
"Ah, Yes Sir" the assistant stamers. The line goes dead.
He turned of the holoscreen and leaned back in his chair. He would discover the truth behind these new attacks. Closing his eyes he let the sounds and scents take him back to the oceans of New Caldari IV. Home.

TTI HEADQUARTERS - CALDARI SPACE:
Strolling from his small exploration building toward the TTI HQ building Calladen Nimitz was deep in thought. The reports from his sources were full of conflicting information regarding the Jerico Fraction.
High above the sky he saw several dark shadows in the sky. Frames of shipyards in orbit around the TTI homeworld constructing Apocolypse and Scorpion battleships. Every now and then a flash of light would appear as another cruiser arrived to dock at the station high in orbit.
Pausing before entering he turns and scans the barren landscape once more. Not much grew here, a desolate and unfriendly planet that was more a prison then a home. He turned and walked inside the tower and approached the checkpoint.
"ah... good morrrnnnning sirrrrr" stammered the young guard at the sudden appearance of the TTI Executive. Unlike most Execs Calladen often wandered about the compound, he ate in the general messhall and used the public entrances. The trappings of rank and privledge were not readily apparent. Even his office in the small exploration building on the campus was unusual. The rest of the TTI Executives lived high in the tower near the top floors. An empty office was there with his name on the door. A door he had never opened.
"Hello Jauque" he said to the stunned guard as he walked by and entered an elevator. Pulling out a keycard he entered a code and the elevator began to descend rapidly. After what seemed an eternity the doors opened and he exited into a strange room filled with old pictures and ancient items in glass cases. He spent many hours a week in this room of Caldari relics. Gathered by TTI explorers throughout the galaxy the collection was the largest in existence ..... yet unknown to all but a few.
He stood in the room a moment then smiled...... "Hello old friend". "Hello" a deep raspy voice replied. Out from the shadows stepped a cloaked figure. The black hood pulled across his face casting his features into shadow. Tall by Caldari standards the man moved with confidence and grace.
Nimitz outstretched a hand firmly grasped the hand of Zodiac. "Good to see you again my friend". "And I you" Zodiac replied as he lowered the hood from around his features.
Nimitz had long ago grown used to the features of his friend. Growing up on New Caldari they had been best friends until Zodiacs father took a position on a Gallante luxury cruiser. The boy had followed his father and worked as a cabin assistant. Then the attack came.
A Gallante pirate ship stopped the liner and demanded payment. The Captain refused and the ship was fired upon. Almost destroyed, hundreds dead, it limped back to Sing.
The young boy Calladen knew returned home an orphan to New Caldari IV. His face badly scared on one side from a plasma conduit which ruptured in the pirate attack. To a stranger it was a hideous sight but Calladen only saw his friend.
"Jerico is an interesting company. They have many interests yet I've had difficulty pinning down exactly what they do". "What do you mean?" asked Calladen.
"Well, its like theyre everywhere and nowhere. I've put out the usual rewards for information but so far no luck...... well almost no luck".
Calladen raised an eyebrow in curiosity. He had grown used to his friend holding back information until the last moment. A smile crept onto his face "almost?" he grinned.
"Yes, this may interest you"...... Zodiac handed a datapad to Calladen who scanned the results. "Is this correct?" he asked in awe.
"Yes it is - perhaps you should contact him for a meeting".
"I guess I could send an ambassador..... its hard to believe a meeting would be possible though after all thats been said" Nimitz commented.
"I know... but its all right there" Zodiac nodded at the pad in Calladens hand.
"So be it" Nimitz stated simply and reached out to shake his friends hand. "Thank you".
"Good luck my friend" Zodiac replied as he lifted the cloak over his head again and moved back to the shadows.
Calladen stood alone in the room.
SOMEWHERE DEEP IN GALLANTE SPACE:
The massive Apocolypse battleship TTS Agamemnon moved through yet another Gallante system surrounded by several heavy cruisers in escort.
"Any sign of a ship..... anything?" a little man asked. "Nothing yet ambassador" said the battleships captain.
Just then a small frigate appeared on scanners. "Identify" snapped Captain Horatio Buckley as the frigate moved in closer not even picking up the battlefleet on scanners.
"Ship identified as Jerico Fraction Frigate" a young lieutenant barked. "Intercept!". The massive battleship was slow to respond but several cruisers quickly approached the frigate.

(continued)
Aboard the frigate young Akmazar Amal, an Amarr and new Jerico ensign, was completing his first assignment for the Jerico Fraction. Assigned to deliver a package of antibiotics to some sick researchers he was returning home when he noticed something unusual on his scanners. "What is that" he asked outloud to no one but himself.
Looking ahead he saw three small specks through the viewport..... they were getting bigger.
"Ah computer, ah what is that?" he stammered as three now large black shadows moved toward the ship. "IDENTIY CONFIRMED - Caldari moa class cruisers" the computer displayed on the screen below the viewport.
Panic hit the young Jerico ensign as he tried to bring the ship to warp. It was to late.
"Webifiers active sir... she's not going anywhere" said the Agamemnons tactical officer. "Very good... move us in" said Buckley as the battleship moved into view.
Amal sat stunned as the three cruisers slowly orbited his stricken frigate. A strange white glow was present outside the viewport. His engines were nearly useless. Then a shadow cast over the ship. Looking out the viewport he squinted to see past the sun in the distance...... then the sun went out.
"Oh my God" he muttered as he realized it was a ship. A battleship.
The Agamemnon moved into within 20K of the frigate. "Open a channel" said the captain. A speaker beeped and the bridge grew quiet. "Jerico frigate, this is the TTI battleship Agamamenon. Do you read me".
Aboard the frigate the young ensign didn't know what to do. He couldnt escape and he knew from reading the news that TTI wasn't pleased with Jerico or its public attacks.
"Ah, yes I'm here" he replied.
"This is Captain Buckley. We have a message for Mr. Constantine. We'd like you to deliver it".
Thinking about the situation he knew Jade Constantine would never see him but he knew the TTI ships could destroy him with ease. He had to at least try to cooperate.
"Ah, OK I'll do it, anything just don't kill me" he said quickly.
"Very well - give him this" he heard Buckley say over the speaker in the frigate. Suddenly his ships computer reactivated. A file appeared in pad format titled "Jade".
"Just give him that file. Its a message from Calladen Nimitz at TTI". said the voice over the speaker.
"Ah ok, can I go now?". He looked at his computer screen and the file loaded in. It was unreadable to the young ensign. Glancing up he then realized he was alone again.
The ships were gone.
Racing toward the Jerico headquaters young Amal knew he had to tell someone what happend. Once he was within com range he related his story.
"Frigate Amal proceed to dock 13 and await further instructions". Amal complied and proceeded to the dock. The frigate landed gently as the dock doors opened and several armed guards entered quickly and surrounded the ship.
Looking out the viewport he saw a man approach the ship. Escorted by two men the cloaked man stopped as the ships ramp lowered. Amal cautiously crept down the ramp and stopped a few feet from the cloaked man.
Slowly the man lowered his cloak. It was him...........
(Your up Jade)

As I recall "Tis Me" I used Shadows name only in response to the posts by other people regarding TTI's so called destruction of INO. This was done so in the context of a "history lesson" roleplaying post in response to the posts by the Jerico Faction represenative.
I never knew the man so I could care less.
