If ever there was something I agree with the Amarr on, the Blood Raiders are that thing.

Hopefully they one day will all face justice. Or they'll all die, which, come to think of it, is precisely the justice they deserve.

The fact that the appointed Kador guard was not present at the site is what should be the main topic. It is well known a large number of House Kador's vassal Holders are closet Sabik. Maybe it's about time something should be done about that.

Is it well known?

I would think the larger issue (though this is only my perspective) is that the security was lacking in part due to the decree of the Empress.

Normally a contingent of three-hundred members of the Kador Family Guard protect it, but they had been reassigned to duty in the Kador home worlds following the outbreak of revelry amongst the Family's vassals over recent weeks. A smaller detachment of the Imperial Guard, hired by the Kador Family at the recommendation of Empress Jamyl I, had been assigned to temporarily protect the site, but was apparently unable to hold off the attackers.

Quite well known. I don't mean to sound condescending, but having to deal with such all the way from Zinoo to Mod and living two stellar jumps from the border of Kador holdings, I'd think I'm a bit more familiar with the situation than a Federal Navy Academy... well, whatever your position there is.

In any case, let's get back to the topic. If you re-read the news article again carefully, you'll notice that the security was enforced due to the Empress' decree, while Kador guard was busy sorting out the 'revelry' of... oh look, what a surprise. House Kador's vassal Holders.

These Holy Relics are now in more deserving hands, where they can be properly respected and revered by the faithful.

This is a good thing.

Despite indications that this revelry is religious in nature, 'an outbreak of revelry' continues to sound like civil unrest. That it is having this strong an impact on security -- with natural opportunism by cultists -- is also worrisome.

Hm.

You have my utmost appreciation for your warning, Lord Pitoojee. May you walk forever in wisdom.

I was expressly referring to this decree in which the Empress demanded the removal of Caldari mercenary security forces that, according to the report itself, were doing quite an effective job of maintaining security at the time.

Ms. Kernher; duly noted. I suppose I just remain mystified by this revelry. I may have come to the -- demonstrably false -- view that Amarrian religion was austere in nature, with revelry considered a sinful indulgence. I'm familiar with the concept of intercalary days as a sort of jubilee, but...

Well, I suppose it'll remain opaque to me.

And to think I went shopping with you that time.

Boo.

Msr. Chu-Li, you should be advised that you are speaking to a person pretending to be a Holder whilst openly keeping friends with Sansha, Blood Raiders and other pirate groups, under the pretense of serving the Amarr Navy in its corrupt militia. During this he regularly accused me of various things and lies, trying to smear my good name and reputation for the sake of some personal grudge he holds against me I suppose, and furiously denying the considerable bulk of evidence regarding his own criminal background.

In other words, take what he says with a grain of salt. Or several. Or a freighter's worth.

I do feel bad for the Amarr though. Unlike organized and somewhat less creepy religions, cults don't last too long either losing their popularity overtime or committing mass suicide so their souls can be saved by a Jovian Mothership.

We were doing our holy work a few thousand years before your federation was even a whisper.

We will be doing our work after you are dead and forgotten.

So much needless fighting and chaos over but a few statues, garments, and other rather useless items that only have as much meaning as you give it.

Khaden;

how about you let Federation allies speak for themselves? An Amarrian trying to speak for the Matari needs to seriously shut up about "respecting cultural points and intricacies of others".

Learn to count.

I also referenced the part where you accuse them of not understanding the cultural points and intricacies of others. An Amarrian trying to admonish allies of the Minmatar for treating us badly is a prime example of not understanding those and acting in a condescending, pseudo-understanding way that the Federation is often accused of.

even their own allies

Actually, he was just pointing out the hypocrisy in the Gallente in general:



Which means they do it with everyone, as they have done here with us the Amarr. It is a hypocrisy to preach respect, freedom of expression, tolerance, etc. and then proceed to act in the opposite manner on every occasion.

If I were to take your words as a general representation of the whole Amarrian Empire - a nation of trillions - I would be doing those aforementioned trillions a great disservice.

Fortunately for me, I know of a great deal of Imperialist Amarr and many others who are no longer citizens of your Empire, that frankly paint a far better and more respectable picture for me, so I don't have to take your words here at anything but face value and as representing anyone but your own generalizing self.

For a people that constantly espouse freedom, liberty and cultural understanding; an alarming number of Gallente express complete disregard for the cultural points and intricacies of others, even their own allies.

If only you could do the same for the one who started this childish bickering we would be better off.

More on the topic at hand, I don't expect your organization to inform *me* specifically about this, so I won't ask, but I will state that I hope you are doing something about this, if it is possible. It is not in my interest to let the Blood Raiders get away with anything, but I am tied up with other matters, and this specific case is none of my affair.

Go kill Raiders.

Aside from the obvious caveats, I suppose I could even look forward to this Gallantean cult of freedom finishing itself off in a mass suicide. The blessed reduction of idiocy of this manner just might reduce the bitterness of having to share a common cause of jubilation with some heretics, palatable.

Ah thank you. Almost forgot the constant cliche of a cult existing since the dawn of time and lasting eternally.

Anyway as always you remain a source of humor. Oh Fred! What a rascal. I wonder what silly things he'll say next!

You guys should consider unionizing. This whole 'work until the end of time' deal is pretty awful, and I bet if you all came together you could get God to see reason.

After all, who is he going to get to murder random people if you all quit? That requires incredible long term planning, and training new staff up from scratch can be a major project setback. Project Killmurder could be delayed for centuries!

And blood, why not drink another bodily fluid? There are so many others and you chose blood?

You are an ignorant peon and shall remain so.
