Being properly dressed, buttoned, polished, and cleaned has a well-known effect on morale. People feel good when they are more presentable. Further, wearing the same uniform as your peers promotes unity and group spirit.
I myself wear uniforms while on duty, as do my crews. I admit that I like it! Lai Dai Research uses a white business suit style uniform, well suited to work both in the lab and in the boardroom. I've adopted a variant of the Caldari Navy uniform for my own ship crews, and myself while serving in capacity as Captain. Enforcement is handled by my staff sergeants, though, so it doesn't usually involve me.
There's no reason to be dull about it though. I schedule casual days in the lab, and while that's inappropriate on board a ship (their uniforms double as protection devices) there are monthly award ceremonies for medals, so that they can show off their accomplishments. We have a dinner afterwards, and it really is quite a lot of fun. I'm happy to say that my crew morale is very high, and is consistently so.
Thank you for bringing up this topic, OP! I obsess about both cleanliness and fashion pretty badly, so it's a matter close to my heart. |

Perhaps you've also forgotten that the Empire has not requested the assistance of the State in any formal capacity and while technology is shared with the Kingdom and certainly benefits innovation, the majority of the Amarr fleet has been upgraded by our own engineers and technicians.
We at Lai Dai Research Biomedical and Cybernetics would like to take this opportunity to thank our Amarrian friends for the aforementioned loan of liquid funds to the Caldari State. The loan was provided on good terms, and we trust that the profits made by both parties as a result were well appreciated. We hope for future business endeavours with you, as we do with all interested parties. Thank you. |

Out of curiousity, by what merit does your division have the right to express gratitude towards a slave trading theocratic empire for something that occurred centuries before even your parent corporation existed? How strange that a patriot corporation like Lai Dai would authorize such a sycophantic statement in the first place, much less through one of it's divisions.
Father Amith has made clear the history of the exchange between the Caldari State and Amarr Empire, so I won't go into that. I will only say that it is important to be up-front about ones debts and to treat your business partners with honour. Regardless of any opinions I may hold regarding slavery, they have treated us well and stayed true to their word. This is better than can be said of many, and this point should be honoured. I hope that my humble words previous were enough to do so. |

The pursuit of truth leads you to strange places, and it is important to show respect and gratitude to those who help you along the path. Father Amith is one such virtuous man who possesses a piece of truth, I feel, though my investigations are not yet complete. So, yes, I do kneel to him, as I do to all my friends and allies. My own accomplishments are meager and worth little by comparison, so there's no sense in hiding my humility.
Heiian, Pilot Naari. Kill your pride. We are nothing but the hand of our kin. |

Every day, I find it harder and harder to suggest a diplomatic peace accord between our peoples. Congratulations on your contribution. |

Good fortune to your efforts in delivering goods to refugees and those in need; may you find healthy profit at the task. If any are seeking employment within the State, I am willing to extend employment opportunities at my marina and filtration facility. All positions include medical and dental, living arrangements, daily needs, and an above-industry-standard discretionary budget. Positions are of course limited, but there is already a community of Brutor here and I am happy to welcome additions to the family. Resumes can be forwarded to my DED-licence address.
As to your being neutral - I'm afraid that I don't buy it, sir. You are clearly not at all neutral towards the Amarr Empire, nor to the Gallente. Your posts here make this obvious. If you truly believe yourself to be neutral, I suggest that you more deeply analyse what neutrality means.
Regarldess, welcome to the infomorph community. Best of luck. |

I suppose that depends on your definition. According to the definition I work with, an infomorph is any decision network (sentient, biological, digital, or otherwise) able to
- survive design-change modification to its decision network without a disjunctive event, and
- demonstrate some form of substrate-independence.
In our labs, the first property is normally called the network's second-order resilience, while the second property is called its transitivity. Capsuleers are infomorphs with moderate second-order resilience and low transitivity. |

Oh! Invasive brain surgery. And convenience. But also, invasive brain surgery. It's nicer for them to go in through the top than underneath. |
