* The camera image opens to a night feed; a palatial balcony overlooking a steep cliff with waves crashing against the cliff face. Actual wood-burning torches light the balcony and cast sharp shadows. Silas appears before the camera, resplendent in an all-white dress. *
Greetings to the faithful Sabik! To our millions of brothers and sisters across the cluster. To those who dedicate themselves to personal fulfillment, power, and all that goes with it. Greetings to our brothers and sisters who follow us in secret; always close, always ready to act... truly our hidden blades that cut deepest against our enemies when the time is right.
I speak to you today to remind you that things have never looked better for those who follow the True Faith.
The Empires have never been weaker; Dragged into and endless war of attrition, trading blood and treasure in a useless cycle, wasting their potential over arbitrary lines on maps.
The False Empress sits alone on her throne of corpses, anemic and weak. How the "faithful" must weep themselves to sleep each night. Their crusade shattered and blunted like so many waves against rock. Their pride lost, their faith in tatters.
Their pain gives us strength. Their loss of faith renews ours. Their despair is our hope.
We chosen few who love you from on high embrace you with open arms and bless you with service to our cause...we will bring you into the light and show you the way. As Sabik you must always stay vigilant, you must always stay prepared.
Our time is coming.
With these good tidings however comes a directive; Those of you who follow Omir Sarikusa have been led astray. His failures are monument. His weakness is undeniable. His low-born ***** of a mother mocks our faith, and mocks your dedication. He will be purged and his sect made whole again.
I declare any of Omir's faithful the enemy of my sect. I will kill any Blood Raider I meet, and give no mercy to his followers. Renounce your allegiance and serve me. I will be merciful to those who see reason... for a time.
Capsuleer followers of Omir are especially warned.
Let it be known, let it be written.

News to me.
Not that I'm going to complain about you believing so while waging war on our enemies.

What does his mother have to do with the fact that he ascended the ranks of the faith and is now the leader of the largest Sani Sabik sect in the cluster? |

Wait, the sun rises? I thought planets in any given solar system simply orbited around the sun and spun upon their own axis so that the sun would be visible only to certain areas of it at a time and give the impression of the sun rising to those on the surface of the planet. I'll have to re-evaluate everything I thought I knew about solar systems.
Also, I am no brother of yours by any stretch of the word.

The Heirs are always at each others' throats, Miss Vitalia.
The other two conditions are somewhat suspect, even should H.R.M. Sarum I be found heretical by the Theology Council for whatever reason, tearing limb-from-limb is not exactly common practice here in the Empire.
I will await the day you've said is coming though, it certainly would be a herald to some interesting future events. I won't hold my breath though.

This was primarily aimed at a much wider baseliner population; the various Sabik flocks do need encouragement and proper guidance from time to time.
Our faith is more than a thousand years old so we aren't actually 'new on the scene' as you suggest.
We are a mirror of crystal clarity to the Amarr; one which reflects their true selves upon them should they have the strength to acknowledge it.

Translation: Since we have all embraced the Sabik faith, so too must all Amarrians have done so. We will prove it to them (and ourselves) that we're all the same in the end. It's simply not possible for them to be different from us!

I imagine that it's quite discouraging to be looked down upon and reviled by the cluster at large.

As I understand it Nation currently still enjoys amicable standings with the Blood Raider Covenant; this was confirmed between Neferis and Kuvakai himself two years prior [Kuvakei Statement]
As I imagine they consider this an internal Sabik matter I don't expect them to be involved. |

The only people who aren't looked down by anyone is someone who lives in seclusion. All groups form their own hierarchies. I have most certainly been looked down upon by others.
Though it's good to know you don't look down upon me.

I'm certainly no expert on the Amarrian faith, but all I am able to see here is one sect of a heretical cult proclaiming that another sect of heretical cultists are in fact the actual heretics. I'm not entirely sure what the actual appeal of this Sani Sabik is if all it promotes is a delusional sense of self-entitlement and privilege while practicing maudlin displays of drinking blood and expecting others to bow before the grandeur of clothes they do not wear. Of course, it's often those who are too delusional to see just how naked they are in public - indeed those without a modicum of dignity and self respect no doubt feel little shame at their public displays of undress - that feel the need to cover themselves in facades of false power. Those with true power often feel little need to impress it in public with empty rhetoric, I've found.
I'm certain the MIO is no doubt both amused and enthused at the prospect of potential Sani Sabik sectarian conflict however. |

You must be confusing me with someone else, young one. If you doubt my power you are cordially invited to Kingdom lowsec with your little friends any time you like. Please consult the medical staff at your home station as it will be a short trip home.
As for the nudity, well, there is a time and place for all things, of course *smile*

Ms. Vitalia,
If the extent of your power is acts of unsanctioned capsuleer violence in low-security corridors I certainly feel no need to travel the distance to witness acts that occur much across the cluster. After all, why travel to catch small fish in a small pond when there are far larger trout to snare closer to home?
Your bravura is commendable though. |

Based upon your public combat record the sorts of targets you consider 'larger trout' leave something to be desired. But good luck with what I imagine will be a promising and exciting career *smile*
Now if you'll excuse me I've a matter to attend to....

[Camera Image]
* The camera feed opens to a darkened room in an undisclosed location. A single spotlight shines down upon a solitary man. The man is bound, blindfolded, naked.... and in great distress. He whimpers softly to himself.
Two pairs of footsteps can be heard approaching, and a door opens off-camera. *
(Off Camera) Vitalia: "This is he?"
(Off Camera) Unknown True Amarr: "Yes, milady. We took him as our prize when you struck their deadspace observation post. He is the head Apostle of that particular facility."
Vitalia: "Was. Child of Omir, do you know who I am?"
Prisoner: "You are...n....nothing! Your life won't be worth sp..."
*The blow is quick and brutal, a savage fist directly in the man's face from the unidentified True Amarr. The prisoner collapses to the floor and begins to cough-blood. The True-Amarr male gives him a kick to the ribs for good measure, as the prisoner cries in pain*
Unidentified Male: "That tone will not be tolerated, heretic. Milady asked you a question."
Prisoner: *cough* "Yes... yes I know who you are."
Vitalia: "Excellent. Now, are you going to tell me what I need to know?
Prisoner: "I ....*cough* ... I don't have those sorts of locations. That sort of information is not given to Clergy of my stature. We..."
Vitalia: "Oh, child, how I wish I could believe you. I really do."
*snaps fingers*
*The unidentified Amarr male produces a blade, and begins to approach the prisoner, who starts trying to scurry away unsuccessfully.
Silas reaches out and grabs the floating camera drone, pointing the camera directly at her face in an extreme-closeup. *
"Your followers are legion, yes, but I have all the time in the world. Are you listening, Omir? Your Red God is not going to save you. Your Red God will do nothing as I slaughter your disciples, spill their blood unsaved into the voids of space, and wipe all of their names from your precious book forever. Are you listening, Omir?"
*The feed fades to black as the screams begin off-camera*

At one time, I pitied you for the depravity and immorality you had sunk to.
I pity you no longer.
You disgust me with your flagrant displays of depravity and inhumanity. What a wretched creature you are to willingly delve into such depths of atrocity and then flaunt them publicly to call out a single man who, as far as I can tell, is not so different from yourself.
War is a messy and ugly thing but the zealous pursuit of self-gratification and power is the epitome of hideousness.

There are men and monsters in this world who are not the least bit moved by the idea of a helpless man beaten, tortured and his throat slit. They find such things routine, everyday, boring even.
If you think such a display would frighten or even register to a man like Omir, I think you are Walking into dark places you are ill-prepared to tread. |
