CCP Abraxas	Posted - 2008.11.26 11:24:00 - [1] Here, now, a little late, is a story about someone who may be a bad man, doing what may be good things. Beyond that, I leave you to judge him yourself. For those who aren't sure: Caldari Prime was taken by the Gallente a long time ago, and recently recaptured by the Caldari in a bloody invasion. It is not a nice place to live.

Devilish Ledoux Caldari Stimulus Rote Kapelle	Posted - 2008.11.26 12:34:00 - [2] It was never a nice place to live. That's why we're so damned tough. _
Ankhesentapemkah	Posted - 2008.11.26 12:40:00 - [3] Does not make sense that one operative would compromize the entire operation by saying he has a bomb on him when there were many other operatives that would get the job done. --- NEW MOVIE! CSM Campaign Thread

I get the feeling these "operatives" not are top of the line spies with prober mental training but simple people who feels like having lost all at are now pursuing a simple goal in life: to take vengeance and those who took all from them. It is also interesting to note that whoever is behind these "operatives" certainly not are doing it for the greater good of the Federation, and that could be intentionally. ---------------- Mr. Science & Trade Institute

CCP Abraxas	Posted - 2008.11.26 13:13:00 - [5] Originally by: Ankhesentapemkah Does not make sense that one operative would compromize the entire operation by saying he has a bomb on him when there were many other operatives that would get the job done. He's got one chance to do this before his body gives up on him, and has just been faced with a cop who's about to turn the shuttle around and take that chance from him. Desperate times...

Blood Titan	Posted - 2008.11.26 13:39:00 - [6] Interesting so far, so how exactly are these bombs activated. They wouldnt want to set it off by beating on him or anything like that there must be some sort of detonator. I want to know what happens next! lol
Cal Darinne Caldari State War Academy	Posted - 2008.11.26 13:41:00 - [7] I wonder what was the ending for the story... Does the shuttle blow up, or does the thug get to reveal their plot and bring them to their knees? Personally I hate gallente, you can imagine why, but I always had a great respect for them, because I thought they stood for something, democracy, unity... All those things we caldari are fighting for.. But this... turning themselves into bombs? That's pathetic and shows a total lack of class and finesse. All in all, I'm glad we're not on the same team... ****in` Gallente scum... ___________________ I am that I am, Caldari. ___________________

Avel Kereka Amarr Manu Dei	Posted - 2008.11.26 17:04:00 - [10] Wait, so was Nouvelle Rouvenor done by Caldari or by Gallente? ------ Originally by: CCP Mitnal And I lube you guys too.
Kalec Amagosh Caldari	Posted - 2008.11.26 17:11:00 - [11] The way the story was told ... it leads me to believe that these human bombs were not meant to destroy the dome in one shot ... that's why there's so many of them so maybe, just maybe, by stopping this second transport of "bombs" would mean that the others won't be able to blow up the dome, then again maybe one of them gets lucky. Point is that there are fewer of them and the caldari know that it's going to happen and they could probably stop it somehow ... it's still better than nothing IMO
Wulf Tarkin	Posted - 2008.11.26 19:13:00 - [12] Originally by: Cal Darinne Personally I hate gallente, you can imagine why, but I always had a great respect for them, because I thought they stood for something, democracy, unity... All those things we caldari are fighting for.. But this... turning themselves into bombs? That's pathetic and shows a total lack of class and finesse. We Gallente as a Federation do still stand for democracy, unity and the safety of the body politic, but desperate times call for desperate measures. Without jumping into the political maelstrom of today, fanatics are strapping bombs to themselves, in a perceived last-ditch effort to maintain their way of life, and for some this is the only option left to them. They believe that they have nothing to lose, that by sacrificing themselves they will create bad feeling against their 'aggressors', just like this Gallente 'rebel'. I don't agree with or condone this practice of warfare, but you have to look at both sides of the coin. Incidentally, aren't there accounts throughout the ages of men making suicidal rushes against tanks or artillery, against armoured and well armed positions, taking the view that there's nothing left and by sacrificing themselves they may ensure the survival of their fellows? Something to think about, certainly.

Yes but like I said, there were others and it is irrelevant whenether he personally makes it or not, as long as the others do. I'd say it's not about 'them' or 'us' or 'the cause' but mostly about himself and his own need for vengeance. It's more a personal obsession than a 'heroic sacrifice'. -------- Ideas for: Mining
Jacques Benoit Gallente Ion Armaments	Posted - 2008.11.26 19:39:00 - [14] A true Gallentean Rebel would blow that shuttle up, hopefully the information that Caldari officer obtained would be lost a long with it... Maybe the others would make it! - J. Benoit Founding Director & CEO of Ion Armaments [IONA]
Miyamoto Uroki Caldari Katsu Corporation	Posted - 2008.11.26 21:20:00 - [15] Guess noone (maybe except Abraxas ^^) knows who actually was responsible for the initial Nouvelle Rouvenor incident. Could have been done by either side, just to get the war rolling. For the behaviour of the gallentean human-bomb guy, you expect him to act cold hearted and rational in that situation? He is human at last and his only left purpose in life has just been taken away from him. His reaction is totally understandable. And in case he blows up the submarine shuttle, as even our planes nowadays have flight recorders I guess it's reasonable to believe that every shuttle has a transmission being sent out before hull collapse containing the video and speech feeds of every cell onboard, as that would make sense after all. So imho if he blows up the shuttle, caldari government/forces on caldari prime will be aware of the treat.
Myxx Gallente Domini Umbrus	Posted - 2008.11.26 21:32:00 - [16] Originally by: Avel Kereka Edited by: Avel Kereka on 26/11/2008 17:17:06 Wait, so was Nouvelle Rouvenor done by Caldari or by Gallente? (Oh, and this line--"I knew someone once who thought he had all the answers. Took a while before I realized he didn't; he just stayed in control of the questions"--was quite brilliant) The Caldari At the end... Quote: The turning point came when Caldari partisans sabotaged the glass dome of the Gallente-inhabited underwater city Nouvelle Rouvenor. More than half a million perished. From then on a lengthy, bloody war between the two races was all but inevitable û the Federation retaliated at once by sending an invasion force down to Caldari Prime and began a systematic orbital bombardment of the planet. Soon, the Caldari population had been driven to the mountains and the forests; their resistance getting weaker by the day. The only question was: how would the newly formed Caldari State respond? Brilliant writing as always, abraxas. the more grey, the better it is. ---- anything I say is my personal view, nothing is that of my corporation or its alliance
Avel Kereka Amarr Manu Dei	Posted - 2008.11.26 21:52:00 - [17] Originally by: Myxx The Caldari That's what I thought but while reading the story I got the impression that while that was the "official" history, the Caldari guard was referring to the Gallente bombing Nouvelle Rouvenor. Or, he might've just been referring to cracking the dome of an underwater city, regardless of who's doing it. Still, it would've been a nice touch if it turned out that the Gallente were responsible for bombing NR in order to incite the war. ------ Originally by: CCP Mitnal And I lube you guys too.
Myxx Gallente Domini Umbrus	Posted - 2008.11.27 03:11:00 - [18] Edited by: Myxx on 27/11/2008 03:11:40 Originally by: Avel Kereka Originally by: Myxx The Caldari That's what I thought but while reading the story I got the impression that while that was the "official" history, the Caldari guard was referring to the Gallente bombing Nouvelle Rouvenor. Or, he might've just been referring to cracking the dome of an underwater city, regardless of who's doing it. Still, it would've been a nice touch if it turned out that the Gallente were responsible for bombing NR in order to incite the war. it was stated in the novel, somewhere around introducing tibus heth, that he was apart of the group that sabotaged NR and otro gariushi recognised the tatoo when he was talking to foritain. so no, it was entirely caldari that did it. unless ccp says otherwise, of course. ---- anything I say is my personal view, nothing is that of my corporation or its alliance

Heyte	Posted - 2008.11.28 21:42:00 - [23] Originally by: Jacques Benoit A true Gallentean Rebel would blow that shuttle up, hopefully the information that Caldari officer obtained would be lost a long with it... Maybe the others would make it! Except losing the shuttle would probably incite suspicion, and with a log of all that happened prior to the journey, the others might be held down longer, especially considering they required the word of the officer to end the investigation.

Except losing the shuttle would probably incite suspicion, and with a log of all that happened prior to the journey, the others might be held down longer, especially considering they required the word of the officer to end the investigation. There was no investigation. He was lying to try to get the guy to not blow up the shuttle. hence this part: "You're lying," he said. I was. "Maybe I am," I said.

Gannor Aton S-R Corp	Posted - 2008.12.09 16:04:00 - [31] Very well written. A question though, he said within a matter of days it would consume all organic matter within that victim. So if these "bombs" were strung out within the matter of a longer period of time say a week or month did they just sit there and die because there wasn't enough of them? Or were they waiting for "critical mass" in the form of the perfect number in order to cause the most effective amount of damage? Were these also some form of nanite tech? Would explain the organic consumption and the ability to detonate on almost an AI level rather than a time release. Again, very good story. As being an Amarr i just enjoy seeing the vids of ya'll fighting each other (gallente and caldari). Makes for a relaxing evening in a Sisters of Eve station lounge. nullGannor Aton nullAgressor for INTG-IRON Alliance nullFarmer of Space Cows
BiggestT Caldari Resurrection Skunk-Works	Posted - 2008.12.14 06:45:00 - [32] A good read. I like the way these chronicles often elude to an ending, but never state them. This method avoids absolutes, so the reader makes up their own mind. The expected ending is that the next line to follow at the end wld be "Ka-Boom!" lol. However I'd like to think that the officer leaped at him to try and sedate the prisoner: so that he can leave him to die with no way of activating his internal bomb.. EVE history t2 precisions
Lusulpher Raddick Explorations BlackWater.	Posted - 2008.12.15 01:09:00 - [33] Hmm does this Chron elude to playable undersea transportation events in the Planetside gameplay? Sorta just struck me that these artworks are concepts pieces for future patches too and undersea travel would be ***IN'!! Live and Let Die...All of it...**null
Guinness Renko	Posted - 2008.12.15 09:38:00 - [34] I don't read the short stories often, and never comment, but this was good. Especially good. Thanks for the read.
Manos Soban	Posted - 2008.12.20 10:32:00 - [35] Have you ever thought "underwater cities" being the answer for Netherlands when sea rising happens. The dome may be the architecture of our future...
The Ghoster	Posted - 2008.12.20 19:18:00 - [36] Brilliant writing! also "Some words change everything. 'Sniper' is one. I'm told 'love' is another. 'Incoming' is pretty big these days..." sometimes 'incoming' means pregnant
MrNeefe Amarr	Posted - 2008.12.25 05:24:00 - [37] wait, the rebels are trying to make the caldari look bad, but who is going to care? the federation is already fighting the caldari, the minmitar have their hands full with the amarr, and the amarr are caldari's allies so they won't really care.
Mirabi Tiane	Posted - 2008.12.25 17:10:00 - [38] Edited by: Mirabi Tiane on 25/12/2008 17:13:29 Good story. :) Originally by: Jarriadod "Some words change everything. 'Sniper' is one.

Jalxan Caldari Seventh Millenium	Posted - 2008.12.28 12:26:00 - [39] Fantastic story. :) I really wish I found out if whether the bomb was stopped or not. Hopefully so. When it comes to the whole situation on Caldari Prime, the Gallenteans deserve it. They attempted to force the Caldari to join the Federation, then they blockaded and took over Caldari Prime. Then, once the Caldari take it back, they make it sound like they are the victims. I used to have respect for the Gallente. Not anymore. I wish to join my brothers in orbit above Caldari Prime, and destroy those who dare tread against our rightful blockade!* Now I'm not sure who I dislike more; The Amarr or the Gallente. * - I'm speaking character wise, not real life person to real life person.
Izkhanilov Epsilon Manufacturing	Posted - 2009.01.15 07:52:00 - [40] Dangit! I hate cliffhangers. This story is utterly amazing, I love how it delves into the Gallentean psyche, and the Caldari one as well. It has everything a good cronicle would need...except a sequel.
Jordalx	Posted - 2009.01.17 04:14:00 - [41] I always thought the Caldari (us) were responsible for all this garbage. Now my thoughts are confirmed that we fight for freedon from these "democratic" opressors.
Elsa Heartly Caldari	Posted - 2009.01.20 16:48:00 - [42] Interesting story. I think if the Rebels suceed weÆll hear about it, every Caldari knows the name ôNouvelle Rouvenorö (almost as well as Tovil-Toba) so if it happens again weÆll know. What I wanted to know was the state of things inside the dome. Are they all at each others throats, are they all dead or in true Gallente style have they set up a democratic society? (Somehow I doubt that itÆs the latter)
CaldariAdam	Posted - 2009.02.12 08:44:00 - [43] Those Gallente think they are sneaky don't they. It sounded like they were going to blow up while having a nice chat.
