I am less alone in the mass killing of filthy Minmatar subhuman slaves than I was yesterday.
On 2014.08.12 at 21:55 in the Mehatoor system a small fleet belonging to the Stormcrows corporation destroyed an unarmed, harmless Bestower piloted by myself and carrying 4,034 Slaves. 2,034 Slaves perished.
When I reported this shocking event to the Summit channel, I was met with not only indifference but vigorous defense of the Stormcrows' actions. To those of you who consider me a monster I offer this quote of unknown origin: "When you stare into the abyss, the abyss stares back at you." |

How predictable. Mr. Nauplius, I suppose you were just taking them all out for a joy ride and then tea and scones at the Station?
What a HobsonGÇÖs choice. While it is tragic that 2,034 perished, the full story appears to be that another 2,000 survived and were recovered- not to be "splattered" or 'blooded" - but to live another day. Without timely intervention, there is little doubt that the 2,000 would have joined the ranks of the hundreds of thousands who have met their untimely end at your hands.
Perhaps you can avoid further tragic, but necessary choices, by ceasing your heretical and in-humane activities?

I must mirror Frau Aspenstar's stance on this matter. Clearly this valiant corporation suceeded in sabotaging your efforts of mass genocide at a steep price. Steep, but well payed, for a monster such as you, Herr Nauplius, with a body count that dwarfs the Federation's stock clone reserve for a year's worth of planetside combat, it would take a thousand Bestowers to match to the horrors you inflict to the Minmatar
I was debriefed to full extent of your misatropic malice and it saddens me that the only tragedy about this chain of events was the fact that fate wouldn't allow more lives to be saved from your clutches. |

So what you're saying is that Stormcrows saved 2,000 slaves? Maybe they can get titles from the Republic too.

During combat, a few had to be sacrificed for the benefit of many. I know that, the Republic knows that (refer to The Elder War) and I am sure I am not alone to come up with this grim assessment. It is dirty business but the alternative is far worse.
This is par on course for those who are in the business of roving around in heavily armed vessels. We only really start staring at the abyss, as you put it, when we, like you, start *enjoying* killing slaves.
Now shut up and undock more slave-bearing Bestowers for liberation. |

This reminds me of the time one of our ships, coincidentally, also a Bestower, was engaged in Entirely Peaceful search and rescue operations near the Amarr-Caldari border, when we were set upon by unbeliever heretics of the Theology Council, who destroyed the Bestower and killed most of the passengers, before abducting the few survivors and escaping before help arrived. |

Seems to me like the 'crows gave freedom to 2000 and mercy to the rest. Being subject to your idea of 'care' is not something I can imagine compares well even with death by explosive decompression or void exposure.
It also isn't news that mercenaries cause casualties.

I support miss Aspenstar stance on this.
You have no moral high ground to stand on Mr Nauplius, time over time, people pleaded you to revise your ways or just condemn your actions, even extremists have denounced you.
The moral high ground belongs to Stormcrows in this case. They spared 4034 slaves from a horrific end. 2000 of them are now free from your horrors and can now begin to lead a new life, with professional counceling of course, as they must be horribly scarred by what you did to them.
Remember, Stormcrow are mercenaries, they weren't obliged to save them, but they did it nontheless, an action I praise them for!
It's tragic that 2034 died, but the fate that undoubtedly awaited them at your hands makes their quick deaths in space more acceptable.

This is a preposterous grotesqueness. I congratulate the Stormcrows. Not only for saving the lives of two thousand slaves, but also for driving the heretic into deep despair. There are certain individuals who have claimed in the past that the more we talk about NaupliusGÇÖ the more he will enjoy the spotlight. The opposite is true. It is clearly observable, and I couldnGÇÖt agree more with Ms Aspenstar and Ms Rella on this matter, that the hereticGÇÖs cowardice, the signs of gloom and mirthlessness are on the rise the more public pressure is put upon him. What was already a shadow of his former self, now degrades into a caricature of a shadow and will slowly eat up the rotten remnants of his soul.
Furthermore I offer refuge to the survivors. The Duchy of Palas will happily provide means of labour in the fishing industry to the slaves and the necessary training for doing so. I will also ask our priests to give special care to the spiritual needs of the traumatised and provide them with an environment of tenderness and affection.

Only twisted lunatics like you use the death of people, you would have killed otherwise, to push your own agenda.
4000 humans are free from your demonic sadism. 2000 of them will be free to begin a new life and the remaining half will now wander among their ancestors in the lands beyond - away from any suffering you otherwise claims they would be inflicted.

Why would the Stormcrows want to send the human beings right back to the misery they came from?
I would suggest you to send them to Mrs. Ymladris' colony. It is an ideal place for them to start a new life. Away from lunatic zealots and two-faced duchess.

Depends on who has a fatter purse, and whether the Stormcrows' conscience can be bought. |

This would be where I make it known that the slaves are at this time not in the care of Stormcrows.
They are in the care of myself and the medical staff aboard my Orca class vessel Venix
I am looking to repatriate the slaves to the Republic for proper care once the wounded have been treated enough for transport.
Ms Rella, would Gradient be able to help with this?

"Repatriate" implies that they are sent back to their home, rather than a completely new nation. While some of the slaves in the butcher's possession might be former Republic nationals, most were probably born and raised in the Empire.
Still, the Republic is a better place for them than in his hands. Keep in mind, however, that the slave butcher uses vitoc on all of his slaves. I don't know how things are today, but I recall Republic healthcare services having issue meeting vitoc demand after Her Imperial Majesty's Emancipation Decree.
Curse those degenerates who in their greed would put slaves up on public markets where vile commoners like the slave butcher can purchase them. They deserved a home under a proper Holder.
I would also lament the deaths of the 2000 that didn't survive. There is nothing merciful about their deaths, and it is disappointing to hear people rationalize it like that. It might be necessary, but it is a tragedy; those 2000 were not saved or given a mercy. |

Why exactly was it necessary for them to die?

The key word was 'might'. And the issue being that, short of getting the slave butcher to voluntarily release them from his custody, there is no other way to retrieve the slaves from his vessels without destroying them.
And 2000 saved is still better than 0.

On the subject of moving the survivors, OTSI could certainly provide transportation to a Republic facility capable of handling such an influx. Running a Marmite blockade isn't exactly too taxing and the Penumbra has yet to be caught by anyone. We'll even waive the usual transportation fees in the name of humanitarian support.

Such a finely tuned moral calculus we have here on the IGS. Plug the following into your equations and see what happens:
- While it was my intent to eventually kill all 4,034 Slaves on this Industrial, their deaths were not imminent and some of the Slaves would have lived months, even years had the Stormcrows not murdered them. That lifespan, however short or valueless some of you may consider it to be, was taken from these Slaves and they did not have any choice in the matter.
- Some of the Slaves would have survived despite my intent to kill them eventually. People such as Ayallah and Ava Starfire have taken Slaves from me in the past and they took them from my armed combat ships, not unarmed Bestowers. Furthermore, there is always the possibility that I will take a temporary retirement from piloting GÇö as I have done several times in the past, most recently for a two and one half year period GÇö and leave my slaves either to languish peacefully in a hanger or be sold back on the SCC markets into "normal" Amarrian slavery.
- My slave pool is not finite but instead I replenish it from the SCC markets as Slaves are lost in combat, sacrificed, decimated, or worked to death. I prefer to keep a working stock of around 20,000 Slaves (I purchase and prepare Slaves intended for the rare mass-sacrifices separately, as these receive no crew or planetary colony training). Therefore, the ledger here is not, "2,034 killed, 2,000 saved", but:
2,034 Nauplius-slaves killed
2,000 Nauplius-slaves get "freedom"
About 4,000 Slaves move from "regular" Amarrian slavery to Nauplius-slavery
Put that way, it doesn't look so good now, does it?
Finally, let me make the following adjustment to the Nauplius-shooting moral calculus going forward:
- Henceforth, the cargo holds of all my combat ships will be stuffed with extra slaves who serve no purpose but to bloody the hands of all who would shoot at me.
- Henceforth, whenever I am podded for any reason, I shall kill 1,000 of my Slaves. This rule is retroactive to my last podding, so let all who would attend Lady Odelya d'Hanguest's Nauplius corpse viewing party mediate upon the 1,000 Slaves who at this very moment are being prepared for their deaths with maximum psychological torture.
Amen. Amarr Victor. |
