Rescues continue at a somewhat slower pace recently. DSTON development has suggested that we may need to devote less time to patrols and more time to M-Center Administration. Recent reports of ethnic and social unrest in Capsuleer established communities has heightened our awareness of the need to more fastidious oversight. I anticipate adjusted guidelines for administrative time expectations at the next Development meeting.

Unintentional objectifications and generalizations: These are mental judgments I am trying to tame. Mental habits can be so subtlety tenacious and many times I'm unaware that I am doing it until I hear myself verbalize them. Yikes, did I really think that? Although some level of generalization is need to effectively function within an organization even as a level of healthy compartmentalization is needed to function within a role, when the day's tasks are completed it is good to take a more self-critical look at such things. Maybe that can be done over a cup of coffee at the local caf+¬.

Productive and dare I say "happy" life cannot proceed when the soul is dominated by hate, vengeful thoughts and obsession with getting even. These darks aspirations must die and be replaced with the light of a higher evolved sense of survival. We must begin to establish violence as an aberration and the vestige of a lower state. We know that humanity is far from this, but to press for it is the beginning of all things worth achieving. For those who have never thought of peace as a possibility, start thinking in that direction.
50 people here are happy to be alive and looking at new possibilities in life.

What is the feeling of betrayal? I've been trying to get my head around that emotion for a while as it is often used to describe how deathcan victims feel. Its not as if there was any trust between the capsuleer pilot and his or passengers. Yet, those in the deathcan feel betrayed. In fact, they feel so even more than from a cruel slave master. Something about the discarding of their lives as if nothing more that a crumpled up candy wrapper tossed in to the bin. This seems to be at the root of the feeling of betrayal. It is a powerful and tenacious emotion. Our counselors spend much time helping deathcan victims cope with it and move beyond it.

I have a counterpart to this. Most of the time, when I have a slave rescued from a jetcan stripped from the waist up and strapped to the Altar of God and the Knife of God raised over him, the slave squirms and panics and squeals in horror. But every now and again, I see different emotions: serenity, peace, even satisfaction. I think I can explain why. Until this moment, these filthy Minmatar subhumans have never understood any higher purpose in their lives, and some of them chase after false gods like "freedom" and feel defeated (or betrayed as the Disciple of Molok says upthread) when they fail to attain it. But strapped to the altar, in that moment they learn their true purpose: to glorify God in their destruction. I have happy performed this service for these few slaves who learn the meaning of their existence in the moments I plunge the Knife of God through their chests.

I had almost forgotten that I promised to tell a bit more of the story. Some time back, Ms. Aspenstar was able to visit the very facility where this particular event took place. Ston Momaki was conducting a tour I believe at the time. I only briefly interacted with you and the other pilot involved. You would be very familiar with the station and the infrastructure of the station so perhaps you can understand the happening I am about to describe. It has brought about some changes in security, training and more administrative duties assigned to us as capsuleer managers of the M-Centers.
Our first test was what to do with a rescued person who eschews our offers of help after the rescue. If we are serious about encouraging independence and autonomy, do we force those we rescue into a fixed process if they are clearly opposed to it? This particular man thanked us for the rescue but requested no further help once on board the station. We protested of course and explained the common sense of what we do in the M-Center, etc. Nevertheless, he said, "I will take my leave of you unless you intend to force me otherwise." We had never had this occur before an with such articulation. I quickly assigned an associate manager to shadow him, convinced that he was not perhaps in his right mind. However, the deathcan rescuee promptly disappeared and we could not find him. We contacted station security and explained what was happening asking for due care to be given. At the end of six hours, no one had seen any trace of the individual.
Long story short...This former slave had been a personal assistant to a station manager in a similar station infrastructure in Amarrian space. He knew the the place inside and out and was able not only to avoid detection but also to observe our coming, going, and fretting all the while. At the end of better part of a day, he resurfaced at our reception office of his own accord. Basically, he wanted to check us out without our control before he had anything to do with any so-called Matriculation Program, no matter how benevolent our claims. In the end he was comfortable with our motive but highly critical of our security. We received a gentle but rather pointed lecture on the need to better govern our facilities considering the growing size and scope of our programs.
We asked if he would interested in joining our management team and to be paid for it. He agreed though did not quite understand the motivation of pay.

Gang violence is something we witness at least once per week in our patrol areas. It is a sort of violent behavior that reveals the worst part of human character. Pilots seeks to kill but not in brave defense of values, country or ideal. They merely gang up on others, provoke or trick others and strike solely for the "fun" of destruction. It has always been and continues to be something we abhor.

What would delight me is to see an evolution of humanity toward mercy. We have the technology to care for the whole of humanity. What holds us back is the vestige of greed and hatred. Now and then, I am struck with the original grief of seeing the suffering souls we rescue as a symbol of our "slowness" to develop into the higher beings I know we can be; not the souls themselves as slow, but the greedy and hateful ones that perpetrated their suffering. It is also the vestiges of our broken governmental, religious, and social structures that continue to perpetrate violence, bigotry, and oppression of those without power or resources to protect themselves that need to change. I sometimes fear, that even though I may live for many long years as a capsuleer, I might yet miss any appreciable growth in our collective being.
Please forgive me for my pessimism today. Perhaps I need to evolve a more optimistic outlook.

The scene was the evening meal and the conversation was about the agridome and the community established there. Part of the conversation was a question how it all came to be. To the inquisitive new Matriculant I answered that it was the pilot who rescued you Captain Gaufres who first planted the seed of this humanitarian work in the minds of a couple social researchers and idealistic philosophers, Manwe Todako and myself. I see with happy nostalgia that Gaufres continues to help those stranded in deathcans as he always has. We salute you.

I see that rumours of your demise are greatly exaggerated. You should track down your little friend, Ms Funk, and let her know you're safe.

Some improvements that come with age are noticeable to the eye or at least to the perception over the span of time. Other changes take much more time. The aging of a fine wine or cheese all involve a process over time that improves the end product. Subtle at times is the difference of aging that brings a flavorful richness vs an aging that merely eneds in rot and decay. Some processes are even more interesting. A finely crafted guitar with a spruce sound-board improves in sound over time through rigorous playing as the very resin in the wood changes the acoustic character of the wood to generate a richer sound. In this case human intervention teams up with time to help bring about something better. All these metaphors remind me of the need for patient goodness in our time in hope that in another time yet to be, all that we touch may be better.

A very... Amarr point of view. It is good to see that you have a respect for the wisdom and venerability that can potentially come of age, whether it is fine wine, cheese... or people... if they are given the opportunity to age well. |

Among the refugees that have joined us recently were several groups of Elite Slaves. As I nor the Aurora management have any expertise in handling the trauma that comes from being enslaved, I felt the best way to help these poor souls was to transfer them to Tahrmal Nalthkh, member of the Disciples of Ston.
As these elite slaves had no typicall amarr slave marks, they must have been enslaved by one of the various pirate factions. I have confidence in the Disciples of Ston that they'll help these people overcome this traumatic experience.

She doesn't know where I am but I won't be tracking down a death wish, Mr Pieter.

I make one brief comment just to indicate that these particular former slaves join others like them previously rescued. They join an already established and well-integrated group of former pirate faction slaves.

What's worse? Having to start over with absolutely nothing or "starting over" with a greatly reduced quantity of whatever one possessed prior in goods and income? Its not really a trick question. It is one that finds its answer in observation. One may be tempted to answer absolutely or with generalities depending on one's own values. We see people starting over every day and most do remarkably well. We also see people coping with losses that transcend the material. Many former slaves find themselves experiencing profound cultural and spiritual losses even in the midst of new spiritual and cultural horizons. Loss is in the eye of the experiencer.
At the risk of sounding clich+¬, I might say that starting over well depends on one's ability to let go of the past and my right to what is "owed me" because of past achievements, education, title, position, etc. Starting over well may hinge more on my ability to value the present work as good even if it is totally different. "The pay is crap..." but, is it good work? Is it valuable? Is it a service to others? Your past experience, education, training, etc., was not a waste even if it cannot be applied conventionally to the present situation. Apply it unconventionally. No, a street sweeper doesn't need a doctorate but someone with a doctorate can be a street sweeper. Apply this however the situation demands but remember that life will humble us from time to time. Will we meet that humbling set of circumstances with a pout, anger, resentment? or will we meet it with the freshness of new learning and new serving?

Hardly a cliche and refreshing you hear you say it. Amarr children are taught from birth that to diligently perform and pursue the duties that one is suited to in service of the overall good is its own reward, regardless of whether you are the lowest or the highest on the social ladder, i.e. a street sweeper or a graduate doctorate. In other words, there is self-worth and dignity from a job well done. Embracing that can bring inner peace. |
