*Arani appears on the screen, her features schooled to near perfect composure. When she speaks her words seem to be carefully chosen and prepared beforehand.*
CEO Alondra of Du'uma Fiisi Integrated Astrometrics, I suggest, recommend, and encourage you to hire a more secure method of transportation for those who are in your care for any future opperations.
If you would contact me, I'm certain that deaths like this could be avoided with Logistics Foreman Brennar overseeing the opperation. He has organized the safe relocation of several thousand Matar over the past few years to safe homes and possitions, myself included in that number.
*She seems to consider adding something else before reaching forward and closing the channel.*

DuĈuma Fiisi has a dedicated freighter pilot; she requested a day off.
I will keep your offer in mind next time she wishes to sleep in.

So where did you find the School for Applied Knowlege pilot call-sign Bad Bet?
Why is it than when I go to the Du'uma Fiisi Integrated Astrometrics main page and follow the link, I find the following information:
Victim: Bad Bet Corp: School of Applied Knowledge Alliance: None Ship: Charon (Freighter) Location: Kenobanala (0.3) Date: 2010-07-26 21:46:00 Total ISK Loss: 723,187,999.00 Total Damage Taken: 128,994 Involved parties: 1 Alliances Corporations Ships (1) Minmatar Republic (1) Du'uma Fiisi Integrated Astrometrics (1) Megathron (Battleship) Zuzanna Alondra Du'uma Fiisi Integrated Astrometrics Minmatar Republic Megathron (Battleship) Ogre I Damage done: 128,994 (100%)
While we generally don't post this kind of raw data here because most do it as bragging, I feel I have to at least post the data if not a link or image to show evidence that my initial accusations weren't unfounded. These people are NOT innocent. They are guilty of mass-murder:
Cargo Bay Value Slaves 28985 23.19 M Damage taken: 128,994
I've taken the liberty of furnishing proof to a few select individuals around the galaxy so don't bother changing your data. You will pay for what you did to these poor people.

You can't murder property. And as long as their minds and souls are locked in chains of faith and vile dogma from the Amarr... they are not people. They are that table you're sitting at. They're that dog you kicked when it got in your way. They're deluded and broken... and have only one remaining path to freedom. Death.
Mass murder? Maybe vandalism at best.

I can't tell whether the point was missed intentionally or through ignorance...
But it doesn't matter. Just know that our people will be freed. Your indoctrination and breaking of their very spirits will not be enough to stop us. Those who have retained what it means to be Matari will know the freedom they seek. Those who do not, will know freedom in death, along with the rest of the traitors. In the end... your so called Empire will be left to feed on itself, using it's own people only for it's vile slavery. Your twisted and mangled faith will undoubtedly provide comfort.
Yes. It's murder. You murdered them the moment you killed their spirits and minds, turning them into something less than Matari. We freed them, either by restoring their will, mind and spirit... or ending their existence to release their spirits from bondage. The Republic doesn't have the will. The Federation doesn't have the stomach for it. The State doesn't have the selflessness. That only leaves us free capsuleers. In the end... our resolve will have to be enough. Be it another seven hundred years or just seven days, our people will be free.
In the end... all will know Matari resolve.

And I don't see whether you are blind to your hypocrisy intentionally or through ignorance.
I thought one would have enough conscience to step over his pride in supporting terrorist attacks in which his fellow matari brethren are killed in an act of genocide. Do we have any proof that these slaves were... ill-behaved as ms. Alondra stated? Or were they just finished off out of boredom, impatience, or some other situation... It's just sad to see she is trying to cloud her little 'incident' with a story that has a lot of obvious holes... just admitting to one's sins would be far better, but... it's too late now, ms. Alondra.

I've worked and done business with the Angel Cartel as often as I've shot at them. It wasn't their 'conscience' that made them attractive associates. To hear an Angel pilot talking about conscience strikes me as rather humorous, I have to admit.
CEO Alondra saw what needed to be done and had the resolve to see it done. It is her growing strength that keeps her on this difficult road with us and it is for that strength that we hold her in the high esteem that we do, as a sister in the Du'uma Fiisi clan of the Thukker tribe.

So you're admitting she decisively opened fire on an unarmed transport full of slaves after claiming that the transport was taken down by a... oh well, let me just quote your CEO.
Originally by: Alondra It is with a heavy heart I say these souls did not make it. The freighter carrying them was attacked by a lone Megathron, the pilot unknown. The ships heavy drones and blaster fire pulled the hull apart.

It's been mentioned that at the time the release was recorded, it was not yet decided who would carry it out - we can both fly Megathrons. Nothing has been 'changed'. You, as several others, just aren't listening. And yes. She did do so after recording the message.

Well... if that's so, then wardec or shut the **** up.
That whistling sound you just heard was the point sailing way over your head. I reserve wardecs for relevant entities, who pose a legitimate threat. As disgusting as your actions are, you're just dishonest mass-murderers who have managed to, in one fell swoop, spectacularly debase every redeeming feature of Minmatar culture, picture-perfectly immitate everything you loathe about Amarrian culture and actually, most tragically of all, add to the legitimacy of the Amarrian belief that some people are such pitiable reprobates that they can't be trusted with any responsibilities whatsoever.
So I suppose in the grand scheme of things you post a threat to legitimate Minmatar culture, but it's hardly my job to police that, wardeccing you wouldn't change anything as you'd still be precisely as unintelligent and sociopathic at the end as you were at the beginning and the last time we fought, your pilots proved themselves so spectacularly incompetent that I suspect any war would be a foregone conclusion. Why waste money when it isn't going to change anything?
In the meantime, continue to do the Amarrian's work for him and make your culture look like a loose coalition of psychotic, benighted savages - eventually, either the Amarrians themselves will put you out of everyone's misery, or the same job will be done by a sane Minmatar who's tired of you giving the rest of his culture a bad name. Either way suits me down to the ground. In the meantime, respectable, intelligent, emotionally stable Minmatar corporations like Annwyn Matari, Electus Matari, Ushra'Khan, etc. will still be around to remind me that you are, in fact, one pitiable sociopath in an otherwise proud and noble culture, as does, regretably, occasionally occur among all civilized societies.

While I do not expect you to believe me; these people would not of fought even if given the chance. They were offered freedom, carefully interviewed, their histories reviewed. For months counselors, shamans, teachers and doctors worked with these people to try to help them. They wanted to go back to the empire and be slaves. They believed us their new "masters" and would not of fought for their salvation no matter what we tried.
If the killing had been done out of "boredom"; we would of been done with it months ago. I'd say about 80% of the people that refused to change were known as such within two months and I personally saw to it that many of them were given more time to turn around.

You will of course realise that you didn't only kill the slaves on that freighter - you also murdered wholesale the tens of thousands of people required to crew such a large ship.

While not a principal to this topic, I note that our name has been invoked nonetheless. People often complain about us 'taking over' GalNet threads yet it seems to be quite fine to conjure with our name regardless.
Leaving aside the whys and wherefores of this case, I think the Star Fraction's position on blowing up freighters packed with people is well-known: we abominate it. I think CAIN can confirm that but let us leave all that aside and let the disputants here continue while, hopefully, leaving us out of the matter.

I don't care if you understand my pain and grief.
Why try to cover the fact that YOU fired on and destroyed them by saying it was an "unknown battleship"? By hiding the truth you have brought dishonor to them as well as damning them for eternity...you said yourself that they were of no free will...that makes them victims, not refuse!
Why didn't you ask if there where any that would take them, shelter them, heal the wounds inflicted by the thrice cursed Amarr? There are those among our people that would have taken them.
Instead you decided that you would fill the role of a "god" and decided thier fate for them...that is not the way of all things.
I curse you...I curse you in the name of all the gods of the Matari to feel a thousand stings of a thousand scorpions, see the faces of those you have murdered and dishonored whenever you close your eyes...you will know no restpite, no peace, for all your days you will know the eternal suffering you have placed on them...

The opening post was pre-recorded - how many times must I say it? I hide nothing - it was in plain sight. The story was meant to be read.
Oh - and we hired those who would shelter them and help them heal. For seven months. But I'm bored now.
Next time you feel like harping on me for how many crew men died on the ship - which wasn't many since I ensured personally the escape pods for the crew were in good working order - look at how many people die when you do an errand for an agent. Those ships manned by non-capuslers have at least double the crew ours do.

I saw the killmail on your main page's killboard. Very sloppy work.
While your crew might have escaped it seems you killed all the slaves. Would you care to comment on that?
You might want to do a better job over covering things like that up the next time you perform a crime against humanity Ms. Alondra. I don't think many people are going to forget this.

It was never covered up... it was never meant to be. Nor is anyone meant to forget. We want the Empire's loyalists to know that there is someone who will bloody their hands for the sake of seeing some good done. We want the many, many Minmatars who long for a return to the days of the Midular regime and the many, many Federation loyalists who encourage those race traitors, to know that it doesn't matter how weak they are or how unwilling to do what they know must be done.
We'd certainly appreciate more hands to help us do our good work, but a lack of public support isn't going to stop us either. For now, we fly under the TLF's banner while we seek out more organizations in need of attention.

Bored...you were bored of them...<laughs mockingly>.
I dont care how many of your crew died on that ship, Im harping on you about the former slaves you keep convenitently forgetting that you had in that ship as well...regardless of thier state of mind.
Did you honestly think it would be easy or fun to de-program liberated slaves that have known nothing but Amarrian indoctrination? It pains me deeply that you consider the rescuing of our brothers and sisters such an inconvenience to you, such an imposition on your "enjoyment" that you grew "bored" with saving them. You spent a whole seven months trying to undo a lifetime of damage done by thier Amarrian masters...I'm truly impressed, very impressed.

I am bored of arguing with people in the summit because it's pointless.
I am quickly remembering why I stopped talking and replying to posts by people I recognized, it wasn't worth my time. Time I could be spending hunting slavers and their pets.

Your tactical awareness leaves something to be desired.
At any rate, a good deal more than half of the men and women whose freedom we purchased with the lives of Amarrian prisoners (who were themselves purchased as slaves through the Angel Cartel) were quite ready and willing to see the light after spending their entire lives in darkness. A Minmatar heart dreams of freedom regardless of its state of bondage. The hearts of those who failed to pass through our program's first and second stages were Ammatar. At best. Their Minmatar souls, however, are now freed. For as concerned as you make yourself out to be regarding their fate, I should think this would please you as much as it pleases me.

That is not for you to decide...they did not know the way because they have never known it, never felt it, never revelled in the thrill of the hunt and the kill...thier blood could not be awakened by therapy and counselling. They needed the viceral connection to who the really were, to unlearn what the Amarr have taught them and now that chance is lost forever...such a waste.

<Veron Daerth listens to the recordings of the previous postings on the IGS forum>
A sad fate for those that never raised a hand to you, Pilot Alondra. Perhaps I am an evil man, perhaps I am wrong in my belief and Faith. Perhaps those who reside under my protection and guidance are lost to what you seem to believe is the "right way". Who am I to say.
More to the point, I would ask you, Pilot Alondra, who are you to say? Hmm? Are you God? Perhaps "a" God? Are you a final arbiter of judgement over these souls? If so, how are you qualified to be so? Did they ask you for your judgement? Did they ask for you to give them pain and terror and that final burst of hopeless anguish that they must have felt as the hull of the ship, their only lifeline in the cold dark places between the stars, came apart around them? <Veron's face tightens with rage> Did they?
You purport to be the hero of this farcical play. I and my kind are the villians of this piece, yet you have stooped to an act the vast majority of Holders would hesitate to undertake, if for no other reason than that slaves DO cost money, and they do have a worth.
It has been said here and in other places that for a Holder to even ask the questions I have asked you makes us hypocrites. I KNOW that the treatment and care of many slaves is sub-par, and that many are exploited and used for purely profitable enterprises, and that some Holders DO abuse their slaves, and I fight this where and how I can. Many of us do.
Many Holders take great pains to see to the care and concerns of their slaves. Would you beat a dog and expect it to not bite you? Would you abuse a tool and expect it not to break? NO, and it makes NO SENSE to abuse a slave that makes something that you yourself may entrust your life to tomorrow. It makes NO SENSE to beat and randomly terrorize the slaves that you may pass in the garden tonight, a slave with a heavy shovel, and him at your back. Something I learned long ago, you cant watch them all, Pilots, and a shovel or wrench or hoe, applied to your back when your walking around in the garden, or poison in your wine as you sit alone on the veranda watching the sunset, or a rock-viper in your bedcovers in your bed-chamber will kill you as fast and far more permanently than any silly weapon brought to bear at the hands of any of the various terrorist organizations that ply the space lanes. Not to mention that its a lot more anonymous. How many dozens of slaves go through my chambers a day? Have access to my wine? Pass me in the halls and in the gardens? You cant watch them all.
No, it makes far more sense to treat them as you would any man or woman that was under your care. Each of you commands ships, some with crews of many thousands. Do you abuse them? I know some of you do, but really, what does that say about you?

When I began this post, I was very angry, Pilot Alondra, but now, I am not sure. I am sad for you, and I pity the souls of those whose lives depended on you, trusted you, and whom you betrayed. I am reminded of an old saying. "Beware and battle not with monsters, lest ye become a monster, and if you gaze into the abyss, the abyss gazes also into you." Perhaps, Pilot Alondra, just perhaps, you have gazed too long into the Abyss, for surely it has gazed deeply into you.
