Intergalactic Summit

My suspicions exactly, Seriphyn.

Something I attempted to change.... But it has become clear the FIO has other mechanations in mind.

Of course.

It makes sense that everyone should be forced to respect your traditions, but ignore that of others.

Your case was that the shooter is winning in his goal as though the blame rests on him. My point was that he shot a bunch of my people and the Gallente give us nothing but silence. We are angry at the Gallente government because of their actions, not just those of the shooter. I am not seeing your point at all.

Let me spell mine out for you again since I may have been too subtle to break through the fog of smug self admiration you Gallente always coat yourselves in.

Maniac shoots dozens of Minmatar civilians in Gallente space. We demand justice be seen for our people.

Gallente police scoop him up and nothing is heard about him ever again. No details, no name, not even why he did what he did or an offer to share information about him with our government. As a bare minimum of what has been asked, as some of it is more tricky and legal, this should not be hard to extend to us in light of the situation.

End result, we are mad at the Gallente government because of this. The shooter did not force them to silence. So let us not pretend this is the case in one neat little package.



I was not aware that the Gallente have a tradition of spiriting away a mass murderer and shrouding him in secrecy after his arrest. I must have missed this in cultural awareness lessons as a child. Are all your criminal cases held in complete secrecy away from the eyes of the cluster at large?

But please keep throwing these weightless accusations around. They are nice and shiny and distract people, as you are well aware, from the actual point I was making here. Ancestors forbid you should form an opinion on that.

No one is demanding that you respect our traditions, you buffoon. We're asking that you do what's right. We ask to be treated as trusted allies and not to be kept in the dark.

Were our roles reversed you'd ask the same.

Oh, and in case you haven't noticed, today isn't really the best of times to be starting a bunch of silly **** with us.

Case and point.

Again.

Why is your definition of right better than anyone else'? That is clearly the issue at hand here. Trusted allies do not invade sovereign space. Twice. They continue to use diplomatic channels regardless of the amount of time or stress it causes. That is how diplomacy works. "Doing what's right" is meant to be right for both sides, not one.

So, firstly I will ask how a Republic fleet invading sovereign space is "right" by both sides? I'll then ask how after not getting it's way, it is "right" for that fleet to open fire on Federation ships?

You have absolutely no idea what I would do if the roles were reversed, your statement is empty.

As for your final statement about today, I'm not going to touch it. I suppose if you feel that flaunting the fact that a Republic fleet may as well have started a war is acceptable as some form of intimidation, that's your choice.

The last time a military force menaced peace under Midular's mandate, she took radical steps to get rid of it.

The irony.

Case and point indeed.

Naglfar's suck as capital ships?

Anyway, for all we know, the shooter is a Gallente ultra-nationalist. In which case, the Roden administration is doing exactly what he wants...which would be unsurprising, as this would not be the first time that Roden Industries has been connected to a would-be assassin. I'm sure you all have read past news stories.

Stilwater corporation. An Angel Cartel subsidiary. Why should you be passing judgement on Federation politics again?
