Come and rest under the Veil, my child. Meditate in the silence of its comforting presence Empty your mind to hear its voice Close your eyes to see its beauty Don't believe Don't seek For all is hidden -- [Bloodveil initiation rituals]
Brothers and sisters,
We hereby inform you that Lady Revan Neferis, thrice illustrious sovereign of Bloodveil, has deliberately chosen to surrender her voice in an act of sacrifice in sympathy with another voice who has been silenced by injustice years ago.
She will therefore listen but remain silent.
For the whole duration of this ordeal, Lady Neferis designated my humble self to be her voice and represent officialy the interests of the Bloodveil corporation in this Summit.
May this act of solidarity make us remember our friends that are still lingering in their prison of silence, unable to speak freely like all of us.

The Voice
I stand in the shadow of a big bookcase: a tall Babel, where verses, novels, histories, row upon row ù The immemorial ashes of Amarrian and Sani Sabik ù all Mingled and murmured. When I was as at the academy, I heard two voices speaking. The first one said: "Be wise; The world is but a large, delicious cake, my friend! It calls for an appetite of corresponding size. And whoso heeds my counsel, his joys shall have no end." The other voice spoke softly: "Come, travel with me in dreams, Far, far beyond the range of the possible and the known!" And in that voice was the senseless music of winds and streams. Blown suddenly out of nowhere and into nowhere blown ù A phantom cry, a sound to frighten and captivate. And I replied: "I will, O lovely voice!" And from that hour was sealed for ever the glorious fate which attends me! Always, behind the faces of finite semblances, beyond the accustomed zone of time and space, I see distinctly another world ù Lady Neferis; I love extravagantly the wilderness and the sea; I find an ineffable joy in the taste of our wine; I smile at the saddest moments; I weep amid gaiety; I take facts for illusions and often as not, with my eyes Fixed confidently upon the heavens, I fall into charms. But the Voice comforts me: "Guard, fool, thy dreams! The wise Have none so beautiful as thou hast." And the Voice consoles and it's your voice.
Your act is noble and pure, my Lady. Even in silence, you shall speak to us, every time an angel whispers.
Yours, Blooder of Innocence Keerie.

So you're asking her to prove that she's STFU'd, or STFU? Shouldn't you just say "stfu or stfu"?

Anyone else find it ironic that there is a lengthy post dedicated to Revan not speaking? (haha)
(and yes, I'm aware of that by commenting I'm contributing to it, but still, rather amused)

Prince Jahandar since you are fulfilling the role of Mistress Neferis's voice, I will extend my service to you as her Hand. I have just silenced another insignificant. Even though she will remain silent, I will continue to speak out in actions to get various points across to the masses. I will make sacrifice of ten others tonight as a tribute to the Veil. My ship and her weapons are standing by for your direction

Just out of curiosity from one who would see this traitor nailed to a cross and burned at the stake...... who is this "voice" that has been silenced that led her to this decision?

The identity of the "victim" is as obvious as this inane announcement being some poor attempt at indirect marketing.
As much as I would hate to say this, CRC made a good call back then. I doubt some *****'s protest of silence would help the victim's case. ---------------

Thanks to my friend for translating this message so I can tell this. You suffer from Schizophrenia, Davlos. A disorder of thought and I would naively regard it also as a disorder of perception. Since when, you consider yourself apt to know the Bloodveil ordeals and the personal reasons of my Mistress? The only victim here is you and your stupidity. Mind your own business you poor insignificant creature.

I'm sure he'd love to, but you must admit that it's difficult to mind your own business when constantly assailed by Bloodveil members discussing their secret plans in front of you.

Since when an official announcement of diplomatic contact change is a secret plan? Is this language retarded?

They asked me Master, how can I learn the mysteries? I drew my blade and sliced their throat under the Veil for their voices were soiling the purity of the void. They all fell silent in awe and anger but then, isn't silence also the best answer to anger? Remember, my child, that there are times where silence has the loudest voice, silence is the only true friend that never betrays and so, only in the silence shall your soul find the way trhough the darkness. So is the path to the Veil. -- [The Blind Prophet 4:12, fragment quoted from the Bloodveil Initiation Rituals]
May all the Bloodveil pilots meditate on that fragment and honor our Lady by keeping their legitimate anger for the battlefield. There's no reply to the ignorant like keeping silence and so shall we do in this thread from now on.

Edited by: BranBresil on 30/01/2007 16:01:46 One can only hope that not only with this change be permanent, but that Jahandar will prove more articulate than the late spokeswoman. Though I grant you that unless the fundamental ideology espoused by these fringe few changes in and of itself, they'll be hard pressed to make a good case for it.
No matter how good the demagogue, flawed precepts lead to flawed arguments which lead to a flawed worldview. If the Bloodveil intend to be taken seriously, it will require more than a new mouthpiece I'm afraid.

Prince Jahandar, I understand the message and will silence my voice as the teachings reads.
But before I do, my last words will be: Omerta Syndicate, a bunch of clowns. For what you show here, get out of your BoB wings and assume your big jealous bitter mouths with guns. Even new pilots by now can see the joke of the Universe stamped in your faces. Good luck trying to impress.

Edited by: BranBresil on 30/01/2007 18:58:08 Well Keerie, I'm afraid I can't let your uncalled for slur go unchallenged. Even if you follow through on your statement and refuse to contribute to this discussion further, (if indeed one can consider your ramblings a contribution) I feel I should at least try to steer you in the direction of the facts. Given that your records show you to have only recently joined the pod pilot community, not to mention the "Sani Sabak," I will graciously give you the benefit of the doubt as pertaining to the motive of your slander.
What I mean is, I will assume that you neglected to research my past discussions with Revan on the matter. And for the record, they were my personal contributions, and in no way reflect upon Omerta as a whole. Given your apparent lack of knowledge I find it at the very least irresponsible of you to brand my entire corporation as a "bunch of clowns."
Given your apparent weak grasp on coined phrases, I can only assume that by your call for us to "get out of your BoB wings" you mean to imply that we seek refuge UNDER and not IN BoB's wing? If that was not your meaning, please clarify. If it was, then I'm sure you know that our presence in BoB space is quite recent, and can hardly be qualified as some attempt to seek any sort of protection we would be incapable of providing for ourselves.
More importantly though, what in the world does our relation to BoB have to do with this discussion?
As to your derisive and equally malformed invitation to "assume your big jealous bitter mouths with guns" I know you cannot possibly believe to be the equal of some of the more adept fighters numbered among my corp-mates. Your experience is insignificant and your skill rudimentary, though not necessarily through any fault of your own other than your newness to the pod-pilot arena.
All in all, you would do well to read my replies to the Blood Veil's first sermon to get some background on my quarrel with your group's ideology before dismissing my statements out of hand.
Personal attacks achieve nothing when not couched in cold hard fact and logic, they serve only to make you sound shrill and unreasonable, hardly the image you should wish to portray if you seek to gain a modicum of respectability.

Keerie... be careful what you say around insignificants, it's a miracle they can read these transmissions much less understand what is being said. They are not worth the time to spark an argument and I do not wish to see you get dragged down to their level. the Veil is quite capabable of handling issues on its own. Use your time to further your studies so that when the time is right you will show the insignificants the way, rather than try to explain it to their meger intellects. You are new but progressing at an impressive rate. The time will be sooner than you think if you maintain the current trend

I suppose I must be one of these "insignificants" since as of yet, all 0utllaw has done is blow more smoke up the Sani Sabik's collective ass. Really, trying to divert attention from the merit (or lack thereof) of one's worldview by dismissing all naysayers as unimportant, thus implying that one need not formulate a coherent response to their criticism is such a transparent tactic as to be the last refuge of the truly deluded.
I find it telling that they seem incapable of letting their arguments stand on their own merits to be scrutinized by others. Apparently unless one already agrees with the Sani Sabik one's opinion is irrelevant.

I'll make it simple. Anyone not of our ways is insignificant. Especially those who hide in the shadow of power beyond their own meger capabilities.

Correct! I will not waste anymore of my precious time reading these usless questions and remarks.
