My thoughts and prayers go out to the inhabitants of the station, and I hope for a swift resolution to this situation.
On a personal note I stand ready to assist DED in peacekeeping duties or to serve in a humanitarian capacity should the need arise. As an Amarrian citizen I will not take direct action against legitimate Caldari Navy personnel or those allied with the State Protectorate. |

A peacekeeper unwilling to take action against either party in a conflict is merely a spectator.
I did not say I would not take action. I will follow DED direction in any potential conflict and I simply will not strike against certain specified allies. I will also defend myself as I deem fit.
My hope is that this can be handled without bloodshed. My intent is to minimize collateral damage if conflict is inevitable.
I hope that clarifies my stance. |

Beware the righteous who seek truth in spirit alone;
The weak of mind are quick to judge with slightest tempt;
Thus fools go forth to spread false word,
Great misery follows those who heed what only the weak have heard.

I think the fact that security forces from all eight megas are currently working together to protect Caldari citizens speaks volumes as to what kind of future the Caldari have.
To his credit, Heth gave the Caldari people hope. Sadly, he played upon the fears of the people in order to bring that hope. Now, as they work together against Heth, his own demons - demons that led to a war that rages across all the Empires - have left him with few allies.
I see nothing but hope for a future where a man like Tibus Heth will never again hold sway over the masses. Think about it, Diana. You are giving in to your own demons, and elevating this man above the collective wishes of the State. Instead of fighting for your people, you are waiting to defend a man who has proven time and again his resourcefulness.
You are not only on the wrong side of this conflict, but you are allowing your fear to dictate your actions.
I admire your dedication. It is a source of strength for you. It is what gives you courage.Your hope for your people is equally admirable.
Perhaps it is time to show faith in the State you hold so dear.
Run and you shall be crushed.
Stand and you shall fall.
Kneel and you shall be saved. |

Which test reveals more of the soul, the test that a man will take to prove his faith, or the test that finds the man who believed his faith already proven? If you know this answer, then you also know which of these challenges bear the greatest penalty for failure.
Diana Kim,
Let me put it another way.
You have spoken of meritocracy. You speak of Heth leading the charge against the Gallente. Let us look at the facts here.
Kaalakiota, under Heth's control, became insolvent. He attempted to gain control of the other mega corporations by nationalizing them. Another leader in recent history attempted something similar, and I don't think I need to tell you which Empire this leader was part of. Needless to say, he was replaced. Why should anything less happen here?
I'm sure others can point to more specific cases of Heth's incompetence and lack of leadership. The point is this; Heth is unfit to lead the State. He has lost the confidence and respect of the people. He has effectively removed himself from his role as Executor.
The tragic irony, Diana Kim, is that it is not Gallente decadence that is the greatest threat to the Caldari. It is the darkness that exists in us all, and exemplified by Heth's xenophobic and ignorant actions. It is a threat to all of us, regardless of who we are and where we come from.
Funny, isn't it, that after all of your defense, it all came down to you bringing up slavery. "At least we're not slavers," in other words, non? I think I know enough about you to know I won't waste any more words on you. Your xenophobia and ignorance is best used as an example of what we all should avoid.
In the beginning all things were as one.
God parted them and breathed life into his creation
Divided the parts and gave each its place
And unto each, bestowed purpose |

Perhaps you miss the context. There is no shame in that. However, perhaps it is best to ask the intent instead of assuming, non? |

My point is that this three-liner is extremly badly chosen when addressing any Caldari in an attempt to make him reconsider.
The context is far from irrelevant. I do not believe I enraged Miss Kim, nor was that my intent.
Pilot Anslo understands the meaning. I'm sure many others do. It was not meant as an insult, but the response did determine my future interactions with Miss Kim, as your response dictates my future actions toward you. I understand your point of view, and I respect it. However, I shall quote scripture that I feel reflects on the situation, as the situation merits. It is part of my faith to spread the word of the Scripture, and I do so in my own way.
I am an ally of the State. I am a servant of the Empire. I am a citizen of New Eden. My faith is a large part of who I am, and how I interact. If you wish me to understand your culture, to show reverence for it, all I ask is that you try to understand the same regarding mine.
For the record, I believe that slavery is the worst possible way to spread the word of the Scriptures. I feel quite strongly that any who have felt the pain and loss associated with it would agree. |

CC is a KK subsidiary.
Heth is an outlaw in all KK territories.
Outlaws have no standing as citizens of the state.
Ergo : While upon that station, Heth is not a legal citizen of the State.
Am I missing anything important here?
I like it, tongue-in-cheek as it is.
One additional consideration. The second he leaves the State things change considerably. DED jurisdiction kicks in, and a lot more resources can be put into apprehending him. Unless another signatory member of CONCORD grants asylum his best bet is to stay where he is. On the other hand: seeing as how he is currently locked down, all the Caldari have to do is wait him out. The ships he has at his disposal are a cause for concern, and if his forces are able to launch simultaneously, I'm fairly certain he could become a serious threat to both the State and the Federation at the very least.
DED presence during the initial deployment of security forces shows that both the State and CONCORD are prepared for this potential outcome. DED also has extensive experience with these types of hostage/standoff situations. Capsuleer basic training even includes a quick demonstration of how capsuleers can assist in such operations, though it is possible that neither the Caldari Navy nor DED personnel will require (or ask) for capsuleer assistance. |

Well said.
Regardless, with the number of capsuleer ships on-site, 100 ships of any size undocking at once would be an overpowering force. Caldari Navy dreadnoughts might not be able to arrive in time. Thankfully we would most likely get reports of Heth's forces making a move to leave the station long before they made their way to the docks. That should give enough time for reinforcements to arrive. |
