I have been watching, monitoring and assessing information as it has been coming in. From my corporations own small encounters with Sansha to our recent encounter with the tower in Isikemi I have see much conjecture, wild ideas and indeed rather far fetched reasoning.
We know that the Sansha are not what the majority of us would call normal. The greater majority seems to be against their ideology and indeed methodology. We see their kidnapping of people as an affront to us, to our way of life. They claim they are freeing those trapped by our way of thinking, but we donÆt see it as being freed. Indeed many see it as enslavement, a loss of ones will to the greater collective that is the Nation.
We have seen examples of this in their cybernetic monstrosities that pilot their ships and indeed one has to wonder how a group who claims to be freeing people so that they are free of all problems can claim that by turning said freed people into cybernetic slaves to pilot their ships is ôfreedomö. I am sure that NationÆs representatives will claim it is for the greater good, or that those that are ôenhancedö like that are volunteers, selflessly sacrificing themselves to bring the Nation to its rightful place. Anyone who would willingly sacrifice their very humanity to that extreme, in my opinion, doesnÆt need to flying a ship, they need to be in a bed, on medication and being heavily monitored. I am sure one could argue the same for many of our own pilots, but at least we still show the trappings of humanity, living with our passions, our emotions, something Nation doesnÆt seem to want. Instead, to quote Mr. Runehouse, they want to ôstripö from us that which makes each of us different.
I give you a speech I heard from a Nation indoctrination video we scavenged from one of their transports carrying ôfreed peopleö to whatever gruesome fate was awaiting them. Of the two hundred we got off the ships, only eight managed to re-integrate into modern society. The others just sit catatonic on their beds awaiting instructions. We donÆt know what was done to them, but our best med tech are administering to them at this time.
I congratulate you.
At last peace reigns in out time
At last war is but word whose meaning fades from our understanding.
At last we are at home.
Those of the Nation.
There is a disease in the heart of man.
Its symptom is hate. Its symptom is anger. Its symptom is rage. Its symptom is war.
The disease is human emotion.
But those of Nation.
I congratulate you.
For there is a cure for this disease.
At the cost of the dizzying highs of human emotion, we have suppressed its abysmal lows. You as a society have embraced this cure.
Now we are at peace with ourselves, and humankind is one.
War is gone.
Hate, a memory.
We are our own conscience now, and it is this conscience that guides us to free others so that they too can embrace the cure.
You have won.
Against all odds, and your own natures, you have survived.
This vid was playing on a continual loop in all compartments that the people onboard the ship. These compartments where the people were strapped into chairs, staring blank faced at the vid screen, monitors attached to their temples and zombie like technicians wandering around.
We were unable to find out whatever this cure was, but technicians managed to destroy a healthy amount of equipment and drugs before we got onboard after disabling the engines.
Sansha is not us. We the majority it seems reject its ideology. We do not want it, nor do the vast majority of the settled worlds of the empire and the territories outside them. What right does Nation have to kidnap, steal and mentally traumatize our fellow people? I say none. The majority says none. Its time the majority stood shoulder to shoulder and removed Nation. We did it once, we merely need to do it again.
