Who knows...What we do know is that whatever happened is beyond suspicious...
Also...He activated a Entosis link on a Titan...didn't someone report that it was impossible to activate the link on any ship?

He was ordered several times to disengage and leave. Several. Times.

This is likewise a concern. Elder Mentor Raish had simply been scanning. While scans are usually frowned upon, he had already desisted, and was moving away at highest speed.
What's more, he was no closer than any other ship in the area, and there were dozens if not hundreds of ships in the area.

So in short, it was more important for her Imperial Witchiness to prevent him from getting away with the scan data (which he obtained in accordance with the Yulai Convention) than at least pretending to comply with international laws and accords. This isn't suspicious at all and we should all stop asking questions, surely.
At least her claim that we will never dare set foot there again was quite simply disproven as we came, spoke and then delivered token gifts to the graveyard. With honor and a crooked smile as Aldrith was quick to fire upon us.
I hope the symbolism doesn't require further explanation. |

Please provide me the CONCORD law that allows one to use what appears to be an Entosis link on a Sovereign CONCORD Signatory's Leader's vessel.
Simpy, saying somethign was legal doesn't make it so. If CONCORD come back, and say it violated some treaty then I'll continue to retort that it was Amarr Space, and they were ordered to stop several times.

And which section of it allows for the use of entosis links on our Empress' vessel? What existential threat was she?

I'd say you'd have to ask Raish that question, Onzo. I'm not a legal scholar.
However, I suspect Raish was knowledgeable. What's more, I can verify that he's dedicated to obeying the dictates of the Convention. When IKAME was under threat of DED reprisal, he was the first one I contacted to seek sanctuary for our personnel. He stated both alarm and opposition, but that "we are also bound by interstellar law, and cannot be party to any activity deemed to be illegal or a risk to interstellar security."
Were it a Matari pilot with a grudge operating the link, I'd not contest the issue at all. However, Elder Mentor Raish was by no means a firebrand or a terrorist, but a scholar gathering data on something that concerned him.
I had been intending to offer her imperial majesty a gift of Drifter Hive Elements as a token of good will. Now, I'm glad the gift wasn't given, as the actions of today are questionable.

He was warned several times.
He was asked to state his intentions, for which he did not give adequate response.
For all we know, it was a security breach, or the Mentor may have had devious plans with the information acquired from his scans.
The Empress is in far greater knowledge of the affairs of the Empire than any of us. Let none presume.
Ignoring several warnings, and refusing to state intentions, his scans could have compromised sensitive military data or sensitive Imperial information pertinent to the security of Amarr. Furthermore using entosis links, which are known for their mind-controlled based technology reverse engineered from Drifters.
It was a threat. Plain and simple.

It's not just the scanning, it was an Entosis link was used on a vessel. I've never seen that take place before.
To think what they're capable of against structures, and for it to be used against the Empress' own vessel..

Disclaimer: this message does not represent corporate policy in any way and is my own statement.
Capsuleer ships. In close vicinity to the empress. They eagerly destroyed the fleeing science vessel as soon as they understood that there will be no repercussions from CONCORD.
Jamyl Sarum has violated the international law of CONCORD, the same law that the Amarr Empire has sworn to uphold. She issued an order that violated the ninth codicil to the Yulai Convention, which authorizes investigation of potential existential threats.
She was warned that the SOCT vessel was operating under this law by Elder Mentor Matshi Raish.
Matshi Raish wrote: Empress Jamyl, I say in public that our presence and actions here are lawful under the terms of the ninth codicil to the Yulai Convention. ninth codicil to the Yulai Convention authorizes investigation of potential existential threats.
This is an outrage. This is unacceptable. You know who places themselves above everyone else? Above the laws? Criminals. Murderers. Scum that terrorizes the population of our cluster.
Sometimes laws must be neglected for the protection of others, for the cliche of "greater good". Was this such a case? Then who was right in this particular case? I call for a public investigation of this diplomatic incedent. This must not be hushed under the carpet.
That said, I offer a reward for the return of the corpse of Elder Mentor Raish. The bounty is a full set of elements retrieved from Drifter Hives: Barbican, Conflux, Redoubt, Sentinel, Vidette.
Best regards, Jaret Victorian.

Dex, Vamai was relaying Raish's communications. Let me clip those together.
"We are investigating potential existential threats under the terms of the ninth codicil to the Yulai Convention. Our activities are lawful and essential. I repeat the ninth codicil to the Yulai Convention authorizes investigation of potential existential threats."
"Empress Jamyl, I say in public that our presence and actions here are lawful under the terms of the ninth codicil to the Yulai Convention."
Dex, Onzo, I am not Amarr. I am Caldari. The State has been a dedicated ally of the Empire for decades. However, we are not Imperial subjects. To that end, waving off concern about the Empress Jamyl's actions with statements about how a Society elder mentor looked scary and was doing scary scanning that could mean he was a boogeyman belittles our intelligence and dismisses our concerns.
If the Empire is subject to CONCORD's laws, which it clearly is, then the Imperial fleet fired on a ship that had every right to be where it was.

To be honest, if the Head of state tells you to stop, you damn well stop if you're in her space.
Nobody should be allowed to ride roughshod over the sovereignty of a people, certainly not because of something as vague as an opinion on what is and is not an 'existential threat to the cluster'. The SOCT ship was free to use it's regular scanners - it chose to use it's weird ass Entosis link instead.
And it was warned.

An unauthorised ship activating a cyberwarfare device on the ship carrying a head of state.
Hardly surprising that the Navy didn't like that.
And everyone's losing their minds.
But it was ~harmless~ is the cry.
And how do you know that it was harmless ?
Prove it was not an attempt to disable the Empress's vessel, such that it could be attacked.

Tuulinen-haan, Valate, you're both forgetting one thing. The ship was downed after it was done. It scanned, it scanned some more, and it was headed away from the ship.

To be completely honest you don't see a word combination "existential threat" plus a codicil of some probably long forgotten law waved by scientists at a head of a state.

How about they prove they didn't have some Entosis Link receiver onboard? I don't know. Recent tests show that Entosis Link does not even activate on other ships. Only Drifters can do that to others and as far as I remember they do not leave their shps intact when they explode.

The refrain from the Empire so far has been 'clear and present danger,' but he ceases to be a danger the moment he's leaving. All of these cries of 'threat to the Empress' hold no value if he's already headed away. What's more, it doesn't sound as if Raish was looking for state secrets, or secret ways to undermine the Empress. Maker help me, he's Society. They're academics, not assassins.
Frankly, all this does is make me wonder what he's looking for.
And to be honest, Tuulinen, I'm going to side with the person who seeks knowledge in most cases.

A thousand years ago, the Imperial Guard shot and killed a thief who had stolen one of the then Empress Consort's undergarments.
He was heading away from the palace, and was thus no threat to the Empress.
Makes you wonder what he was looking for, doesn't it ?

The following is our legal opinion.
- Matshi Raish had an Entosis Link equipped on his ship, as per the Kill Report. His ship was also armed to the teeth with offensive modules.
- Activating an Entosis Link incurs a Weapons Flag
- Anything that incurs a Weapons Flag is also subject to CONCORD retaliation
- Matshi Raish is a Capsuleer. He is expected to observe the aggression rules in Hisec as set forth by Yulai Convention articles which also empower CONCORD
- Matshi Raish quotes a ninth codicil to the Yulai Convention. However, we are not aware of any Yulai Convention article that allows a non-CONCORD entity to take an action incurring a Weapons Flag against another non-Criminal flagged entity in High Security Space.
- Special security precautions are to be expected when a dignitary like the Empress traverses weapons free space. Activating an offensive module (the Entosis Link) would justify an reflexive security response.
- CONCORD did not retaliate against weapons free offensive action against Matshi Raish's ship, which indicates to us that no Yulai Convention laws were broken by the Empress or any allied ships.
Conclusion: Matshi Raish may have been correctly interpreting ninth codicil to the Yulai Convention when considering his intent, but his execution of that intent using an offensive module and incurring a Weapons Flag would be against Yulai Convention rules.

An assassin cannot have any reasonable expectation of detention and trial in a volatile situation where his would-be target is not secured by their protection detail, and he has already discharged a weapon.

Alright. We have an elder mentor of an organization that runs educational institutions conducting scans in what is essentially a public place, in a Gnosis, on an Avatar. What you're calling an offensive module does no damage, and has no effect on capsuleer ships. I know this, having tested these things extensively.
Explain to me how this makes him an assassin who discharged his weapon, a credible threat despite the established fact that CONCORD clearly didn't care. Explain it like I'm five, because your logic is frankly baffling to me now.

What kind of idiot would think approaching any military ship unannounced, never mind the empress, during a public speech is a good idea? Who cares what she's hiding I just find how trusting the imperial navy was as suspect. Is that not a little strange or am I the only one who finds their weak security odd?
