Thank you Mr. Thessalonia, Mr. Areth for the forthright information. This saves us time and expense in testing. The materials will be used strictly for vaccine research and development. Perhaps some honor and dignity can be afforded the memory of those whose bodies were used for this material.
A side note: Food production biomass for our centers comes from livestock production at our planetary facilities. Proteins and biomass production is under our control. Biomass used in livestock production for food is exclusively via planktonic colonies and all protein concentrates are via complex microorganism harvesting.

Mr. Momaki,
While many of your other views expressed in your ongoing diary on the IGS are misguided and based on cultural chauvism, I have in the past considered your activities of saving helpless individuals cast away before dying lonely deaths of asphyxiation without ever having had the opportunity to be Reclaimed and to find God to be at least worthy of merit.
That being said, you have allowed your pride and self-perceived rightousness to dictate your decision to use the abomination that is the so called "nutrient paste" donated by Khazarn Areth. As Mr. Areth so glibly admits, the paste is the result of unimaginable suffering and unspeakable and barbaric acts perpetrated by his Apostate sect upon the weak, the poor, the unwanted and the Faithful. No doubt some may even have been those who you ostensibly seek to save. The atrocities performed on those on the bleeding racks are deplored by all civilized peoples. (I care not what its apoligists might say to justify them).
One would hope that you would not ratify and compound this Sin against nature and against God by not giving the ground up and mutilated remains of the lost a respectful burial but instead using it in a narrow minded feverish effort to continue to advance the empire building mania that is so evident in your constant reminders of this expansion and that station.
Just as certain courts will exclude unlawfully obtained evidence as the "fruit of the poisonous tree" so too you are permitting your myopia allow these illicitly made goods to taint your own ostensibly humanitarian efforts.
Further, and I can't take credit for these wise words which I paraphase, the: "issue of whether to use the nutrient paste is a smokescreen from the reality of human suffering. Instead of the word "nutrient paste," I suggest that we replace it with a bar of soap. This horrible bar of soap is the remains of murdered innocents. The image sensitizes and personalizes our dilemma. Imagine the extreme feeling of discomfort, and the mortified look of horror upon discovering that one just showered with the remains of murdered innocents. The ghastly thought of the dissicated and drained remains of human beings (and perhaps even one's close relatives) being ground together together for a bar of soap precludes any consideration of its use. How could any civilized person divorce the horror from the carnage without numbing one's self to the screams of the tortured and ravaged faces of the victims of Mr. Areth and his ilk?"
I remain, the faithful servant of Empress Jamyl Sarum,

Oh come now Ms. Aspenstar, My facility produces thousands of units of nutrient paste per week before shipping to Covenant space and supplying settlements/installations within the surrounding region, I provide employment and spiritual opportunities for the sector's downtrodden and disposessed and a way for the weak to further the growth of the strong and promising.
While I do disagree with Mr. Momaki on many points I respect his stand against Amarr imperialism and their childish bullying tactics hence the donation of food supplies to his group.
If it makes you feel any better on the subject of burial, Ms. Aspenstar, unused materials are placed in landfill.

A while back, DSTON actively operated a program we called, "clone body return service." The purpose of the service was to provide dignified final disposition for clone bodies we discovered drifting in space. Owners were contacted and we offered free return of the remains or cremation. We researched disposition rites and would do our best to accomodate the wishes of the owners. After a time, this work was displaced by a more more pressing need. In times of war, natural disaster, etc, there is a great need for the services of well trained "service dogs." Search and rescue cadaver dogs are especially useful to locate remains and also the living injured. We discontinued the clone body return service and began using the bodies we found in our cadaver dog training program. Hundreds of former slaver hounds have now been trained to function as service dogs.
Some recoil at this use of clone corpses. I understand this and sympathize with the view. However, we weighed the issues and made a decision to do this. We feel that it lends a weight of dignity in the long haul to the life that once occupied the body. For centuries, men and women have donated their deceased bodies for scientific and medical use and countless lives have been saved as a result. From organ donations to cadaver research, the list is long for the use of our expired bodies.
We weep at the suffering described by Ms. Aspenstar in her post. We see the suffering of war and the needless violence perpetrated in the name of religion, ideology, nationalism, etc every day. It does not pass over us and leave us unmoved. Quite to the contrary, we are greatly moved and grieved. Right now there are 760 m3 of homogenious biomass from an untold number of human bodies by all accounts. We could provide a solemn final disposition rite and cremate the mass or we can use the mass to generate much needed vaccines. We are choosing to do the latter and believe that it dignifies those who suffered and died.
Do we have moral certainty in this decision? No. I am learning as time goes on that moral certainty is seldom achieved. Yes, this might be a wrong decision. We don't think so now. Sure, our actions are open to criticism as they should be but we will honor the lives of those who once occupied these bodies when others are given life-saving vaccines. Is there potential for a slippery slope here? Yes there is and we feel a gravity in this. This is the one and only such donation we will accept. Our planktonic biomass production will be our sole source here on out.

Mr. Areth, notwithstanding the self-serving veneer you place upon your operations, it is now abundantly clear that in order to supply your bleeding racks you are operating a Death Camp, or concentration camp, preying on the homeless, the weak, and the Faithful. Such activities are sanctioned by none of the Empires and is deplored by all civilized persons in this Cluster.
Mr. Momaki, I am heartened to hear that you and your organization will, from this point forward, cease your association with Mr. Areth and his ilk, cease to accept donations of "nutrient paste", and recognize the potential for a "slippery slope". In that light, and since it would perhaps be then be churlish of me to continue to voice my concerns about the disposition of the initial donation, this will be my last communication to you on this topic. I, therefore, wish you well with your future rescues. (Although I remain steadfast in my disagreement with other aspects of your philosophies). If any of your matriculants should wish to rejoin the Faithful, please do not hesitate to contact me.
With Blessings, and in the name of the Empress Lady Jamyl Sarum, I remain:

For the State... Our rescue work continues but I have an ongoing anxiety in my mind for the nation. There is so much that is just not known about what is at the core of all the happenings. Perhaps now is the time for leaders of all the sovereignties to consider new approaches other than war for achieving good for their citizens. May the best of those in the military on all sides let their diplomatic side hold sway. Now is the time to commit to seeking until we find the common ground that we need to end war and benefit all our cultures.
If there were one sentence that should be eliminated from our languages it would be that ever over used excuse for war, "We've tried everything else." Cool heads are needed from the State, the Federation, the Empire, and the Republic to say, "how can we bring peace out of this chaos?"
Six people, rescued, safe, sound and settling in at the center.

Patient, efficient, and deliberate... These are fine descriptors of the actions of my crew today in the rescue of 129 people and 2 hounds from 3 death cans. Fortunately, these cans were positioned in such a way that we get within range of all three and in immediate gate activation range all the same time. There was no twitchiness on the part of the crew; no missed steps. Things do not always go this way, but is is a pleasure when they do. Two previous rescues are also reported.
Have you ever watched children playing in a sandbox? Have you ever watched them fight over toys? As adults we tend to over-esteem ourselves into thinking that all our disputes are justified and noble. "Our rights have been violated, so now I must kill the violators." When will we see that we are still small in the scope of the cosmos? When will we see that one planet is only a grain of salt in an ocean? May no one be insulted by what I am about to say as it is but a metaphor repeated time an again. Caldari Prime is a but a toy in the sandbox. I commend those in the Federation who are seeing this. As a Citizen I ask those in authority in the State to find those in the Federation who are interested in peace and work with them. Maybe now is the time to find new leadership; people who are not consumed by hatred and bloodlust but driven by a desire for peace.

I'm not so naive to hold my breath over this, but just the talk of peace spurred on by one of the threads on this forum does lift the spirits a bit. Deep seated bitterness and anger must die if peace is to live. Let us hunger for peace more than we hunger for war. Let brotherhood displace vengeance. I hope the talk of peace and ideas for peace continues. Imagine if all the ingenuity, energy and intelligence devoted to war were given over to the quest for peace. Imagine...

How hard it is to let go of all we are afraid to lose. Why don't we let go of our wars? Part of the answer has to do with what we fear to lose. The great touchstones of cultural vocabulary often come into focus at these times. We must keep fighting lest we lose our honor. We must keep fighting lest we lose our freedom. Sometimes these statements are true but more often they are euphemisms for, "We must keep fighting lest we lose the argument." It is the better man, woman, nation, and culture that is big enough to say, "what was the argument in the first place?"
We are happy to have rescued 78 people thus far today.

We hope that the meeting of the Tribal Council will lead to greater efforts toward peace. While seeing to the needs of the Republic we hope that peace is a priority. We wish for the very best for the Minmatar people. I hope that what might arise out of this new birth is not so much a sense of "fear the tribes," as "respect the tribes."
The Disciples of Ston hold that a priority of the Council should be to do all in their power to prepare the Republic for a return among slaves scattered in the Cluster of all who long to be repatriated. We stand ready to assist in this endeavor in any peaceful way we can.
We were able to rescue ten yesterday.

What is it you feel to be your birthright? What is your entitlement? Those we rescue are a constant lesson for me as a capsuleer. We as a class seem to derive this strange notion of what ought to be afforded to us simply because of our status and wealth. This entitlement seems to generate a level of narcisim evident in most all of us.
There is an attractive security in the faces of those who are content merely with the possession of their lives and the potential to make something of them the next day.

Multiple death can rescues mean that the temp center in State territory continues to see use. The staff there remains alert and busy.
There is a vicious circle of prejudice, oppression leading to prejudice and oppression. Somewhere along the way, one must break that cycle and risk trust. DSTON commends the newly convened Tribal counsel for their willingess to lay aside bitterness and to make every attempt to unite the tribes, including those once thought to be traitors. If there is to be an effective and united front to provide peace, freedom, and security for all the Minmatar people, it must be done in a way that mends the hurts of old.
DSTON would like to see an sincere effort to eliminate slavery in the Mandate and to make Mandate space and legal sanctuary for all slaves seeking citizenship within the Republic. Let Mandate space become a place where slaves may receive legal status as freed slaves and be allowed to pass without fear into the Republic.

It should be noted that according to regulations that already are. Once a Holder releases a slave they're considered citizens, and citizens can go pretty much wherever they want.
While I suppose some more stubborn holders may employ politically neutral bounty hunters to bring back escaped slaves, no licensed slaver is allowed to operate outside of Empire or Mandate space. This is in accordance with CONCORD treaties, which all four of the great nations have signed - though one in particular seems to forget that whenever they feel like it.
And considering that we're getting rather sick of all the constant raids & attacks, and that our navy is even moreso tired of putting up with their constant crap, I'd say that the Mandate is probably the worst place right now to be trying to ferry slaves out of. The border patrol is pretty jumpy & cranky to say the least, legal papers or not.

Sometimes pilots reveal a great deal of inner pain just through a few words in their self-written bios that are made public information. It is often expressed in a sort of seasoned advice that they have learned from their own experiences or so it would seem. I think mostly it is a desperate striking of the air with words of bitterness and pain. Sometimes it is cloaked in humor but the desolation still leaks through the words. What probably they wish they could say is simply, "I've been hurt in life and I haven't quite worked it out." Life does tend to make it a challenge to stay completely healthy.
The Disciples of Ston hope that all who read this may be blessed with freinds that show them grace rather than judgment. I fear that so many have very little gace to see them through cruelty that life can deal.

There are remnants of the normal human experience that I choose to continue as a capsuleer even though I would not have to. Some physical "inconveniences" can be engineered out of our clones. That is why so many capsuleers are either exceptionally odd looking or unbelieveably good looking. In other words; how to be unbelievably ripped or have perfect figure? Become a capsuleer.
Shaving. I keep that. Even though I would not have to shave to keep my facial hair sculpted the way I like it, I choose to do so. Many years ago, I discovered an inexpensive aftershave that goes on with a bright citrusy scent but then fades in about ten minutes. Perfect. The shaving ritual is like a fresh start each time it is done.
Why do I mention it here? From time to time I note that the adult men we rescue take special pleasure in good shave after a long space journey and abandonment in a death can. Odd though it may seem, it is a point of connection between me and some of those we rescue.
If we could all find even a small shard of shared humaniuty glimmering in the smoke and haze of our conflicts, maybe it could reflect enough light to shine the way to peace. Let it be so.

Actually... his group is mostly a humanitarian rescue operation, picking up abandoned cargo pods with people still trapped inside. The passengers aren't always slaves and even if they were if it's outside our borders we can't say anything about it. I've used his service to dump off various people that I've rescued from anti-pirate missions over the last year, because we aren't a humanitarian rescue operation (I just hate to see life wasted for no reason).
Besides, if they were just left to die then that would certainly deny them any chance of Salvation. So long as they remember that the person who pulled them out of the rapidly cooling life-pod was a member of the Faith then hopefully that will leave a strong enough impression on them to maybe take up the Faith themselves.

"It is not legal for me to cross this border with you on board. I am going to jettison you in a container with a limited supply of heat and air. I will make it legal for you to be rescued by relinquishing ownership of the can. Hopefully someone will rescue you before your life support expires. In case you are not rescued, you can take these (pills) and die quickly." These were the words spoken to 24 people as they were given pills to end their lives and prepared to be jettisoned into a death can. True to his word, the pilot abandoned the can. We came upon it in the DSS Mayflower while on patrol. There were also two other yellow death cans recorded below. The Blue can was rescued first followed by the other two in short succession. We made for our temp center across in State territory. No pills had to be taken.

In order for there to be peace, individuals within society need to be peaceable. Peace will characterize our cultures when we approve of peaceful behavior, attitudes and disapprove of hostility. Examine, for example, the public bio of the pilot on the Wall of Shame below. That is an example of the attitude and approach that fosters continued hostility and generates friction and retaliation. "Let's see who can stick the middle finger up higher." "Let's see who can curse the loudest." It is a sad commentary on our nature that we feel it necessary to exact vengeance for the slightest of perceived wrongs.

Equipment problems have kept our patrol time down. The Mayflower is having issues with her powerplant ((read: power supply going kaput)). Hopefully new parts will arrive before too long. The thought of death cans vaporizing in space with occupants aboard is distressing. We did manage to make it out today and were able to rescue 15 people.
I see in the time I have been occupied elsewhere that change continues to pace itself as it were in a sprint. It is hard to keep up.

When does loyalty become something else? When does it become willful blindness? When does it become an unwillingness to risk for the right? When does loyalty become a false comfort for those who know the implications of facing a change of mind? It is never easy to reverse a decision made years ago and followed for decades. When we come to the place where we say, "I can no longer be that," loss is inevitable. Capsuleers with a real sense of loyalty are perhaps most resistant to a change of mind. This is partly because many capsuleers too easily change their minds and change their loyalties. Pilots are one thing today and the opposite tomorrow. However, there are times when the primacy of more basic values requires us to change individual loyalties.
In particular, if the leaders of our Sovereigties persist in hatred, bitterness and in an unqualified opposition to peace, they are not worthy of the loyalty they take for granted.

While I agree with your general assessment of Executor Heth, and that he is sadly living up to that title in a very bad & literal way, it been the policy of the Caldari State to not interfere with the policies or governments of other nations. As tragic as their current recent events have been, there are still technically an internal problem and out of respect to the Caldari State's own beliefs I feel it is only proper to not intervene or even become involved in any way with the matter.
Unless, of course, they were to formally ask for our assistance, but such a request would be coming from Mr.Heth himself, being that he is the head of their State at the moment, which in turn would be creating a distressing moral conundrum in itself. So perhaps it is for the best that he has not done so.

Reported below is what started out as a three can rescue. In fact, we were able to situate ourselves within rescue range of all all three cans and within gate activation range. Just prior to transporting the survivors, one of the cans bliped off our screans. It was either looted or it expired. The two remaining cans' occupants were rescued. The three pilots are listed without specific reference to the particular contents due to the need to act quickly and escape.
Another kudos for my crew. An interesting thing happened on the way back from State space. We came across a yellow can and decided to investigate. Sometimes slaves smugglers will make it into the State side and then get caught and dump their passengers. This can contained 6 healthy hounds. Should we rescue them? Do I risk the crew to rescue hounds? The crew said yes without hesitation. I consented only under these circumstances: that we could be out of decloak proximity range of any ship of object. It happened that we were and were able to rescue the hounds.
Slaver hounds have become a good metaphor for positive change. Our Service Dog Training program has been able to train former slaver hounds to be cadaver dogs, rescue dogs, seeing eye dogs, seizure alert dogs, hospital comfort dogs, etc.
POINT: I see time and time again that we hide behind our cultures and use them as an excuse not to confront the darker sides of our nature. We protest, "You just don't understand my culture." What we really are saying is, "I want to justify the wrong things I do with the culture argument." Cultural values evolve over time, so the cultural argument against change is a soft argument. A culture can become better.

Thank you, Mr. Ishikawa. We will keep you as a contact in case the need should arise. With ongoing tensions across the cluster, it is good to have those who are interested in the well-being of the less fortunate among us.
We are back to limited rescue runs. Equipment issues continue to be a problem. The power unit of our primary vessel is prone to fits and starts. It is actually rather new and should still be covered by the manufacturer for the defect causing the problem. The process of benefiting from that coverage is a bit of a pain, though. No one ever seems to be "home" when we try to contact the manufacturer. Hmm? Its almost like they really don't mean it when they say, "one year warranty."
Mr. Ishikawa's note reminds me to report that our planetary production rate is stable and both food and water are at surplus. Our next production priority will be in the area of medical supplies for our ongoing Matriculation Medical Center needs.
