He's not Sanist. Really. I promise. Now he's just a murdering lunatic. I'd even offer to help people kill his tower, but I'm not a moron.

If this thing wasn't in the Bleak Lands (I'm guessing) and a ridiculous amount of jumps away, I'd poke people about a fleet.

The Alexyvlva Paradox has managed to acquire the location of this tower. Shall we destroy it, or would someone else like the privilege?

Predicted course: he keeps refining his technique, probably in ways that will involve more deaths, growing increasingly frustrated at not having actually summoned a single verifiable demon. Eventually he decides that, being demons, his summoned minions are naturally invisible and intangible, and are out there waging no doubt horrific spiritual destruction upon the Matari.

He declares victory and moves on to something else.

Yeah. It just seems ... redundant ... to say when he's talking about bathing in blood and summoning demons, right down to the italics.

Instructions unclear. Goon sacrifice stuck in ceiling fan.

Does anyone realize what Nauplius is doing here?

So we should keep using that term, then.

No nerves were harmed.

But really... Saying Ethan, Omir, Jamyl, Max... hell even Mittani, can do anything on the level of the supernatural like Nauplius is doing is just beyond Naive.

None of them can compare.

He is still garbage. Nothing will change that.

I suggest that arguing about me, personally, is something of a distraction from the important topic at hand, demon summoning.

Ditto.

I think it's going to be a really fun day when old Naup realizes his GF is a Matari.

Popcorn, anyone?

If you mean me, then I am informing you that Nauplius is not my boyfriend. I've actually gotten back together with my ex lover and father of my daughter, Zieg.

It reeks more of a gallente camp movie then something that's actually happening.

It has been concluded that no pilot or entity that has declared hostile intent to the Empire or the forces of PIE, CVA and SFRIM will be allowed in fleet or on field. The factors that might have allowed for this have become untenable and we strongly believe any truce would be doomed to failure.

For the safety of all parties involved, I urge everyone to keep away from the tower until the operation is complete. The important thing here is to make sure the tower goes down, and as we are the ones who began the attack, we will also finish it. If you value the lives of the slaves within the tower, I ask that no one disrupt this operation.

Thank you to all who would heed this.

Actually, if you would have read the mail I sent you, you would find that those assurances have been retracted.

And the decision to exclude militia wartargets and reds was not entirely up to us. A certain third party will be involving itself, it seems, and we will be unable to predict how they might behave. This is not a matter of stubbornness, this is a matter of prudence.

We have notified all necessary parties. Again, this is for the best. Just let us do our job and next time Ushra'Khan can lead an operation and do things their way.

You have no worries to be burdened with.

Nobody said words of comfort had to be.....

Do I sense a bit of good ol' Grrrr forming...?

I don't believe we're able to dishonor agreements with a party which won't even deal with us diplomatically, so I think our business is concluded anyway. Aggrieved third parties are still encouraged to check in with the diplomatic corps.

It's not I who should fear you, Mr Nauplius.

It's you who should fear me.

I'm hearing reports that none of the captives on board the station were rescued, and that no rescue attempts were made? Is this true, or is that just rumour?

We are still on standby to accept any head or brain trauma cases, or severe psychological trauma cases, as needed.

Then perhaps you shouldn't have summoned them.

Cranial Neurology is so much more dramatic when you use metaphors, isn't it?

I'd like to offer an enormous thank-you to Aldrith Shutaq, Lady Lunarisse Aspenstar, Saede Riordan,Jade Rkard, Lord Sinjin Mokk, Director Atkio Vanamoinen, Arrendis Culombe, and the pilot who delivered the patients to us initially - I'm sorry, I don't remember your name!

Yes, I have revealed just how deep the rot goes with the so-called Amarr Loyalists. They are so wayward, so liberal. Slave-lovers. Minmatar-lovers. How far they have fallen from the Faith, from the Red God, the Blood God.

It is unlikely these slaves were taken from the Republic, so these individuals would not be known to anyone there. It would likely be better to check through Amarr Civil Service records.

With all due respect to His Holiness the former Emperor Heideran VII, proper treatment of slaves should not be credited to him. Appropriate handling of slaves is conducted according to traditions far older than him. And it must be remembered that it was the liberal policies of his subordinates that lead to our involvement with the SCC in the first place.

All I've heard of Max is him rambling about deposing the Most Sacred Empress, and lopping off her head. Please explain how he is life-affirming and peaceful.
