Thank you, Avlynka.

Once again, the Minmatar die as pawns in some greater game of brinksmanship. Times like this I curse the freedom given to me as a capsuleer, the ability to choose to act or not. I miss the simplicity of knowing right from wrong, family from foe, tribe from stranger.

These are the days of suspicion and hidden agendas. In the midst of this, we immortals cut a bloody swath through our destinies. Spirits help those who blunder into our path.

I am afraid you lost that luxury my dear when you decided to punish, for a perceived slight, those who in your time of need offered forth milk, meat and shelter. Zeal and pride are old friends, and costly.

MIdular was a capable leader. She was denied her destiny by the popular will of her own own kin. Think what rest the honors delivered up in Colelie on her day of death give her bright soul.

I am myself an unprincipled and profane man, often unworthy in act and deed, but at least I am honest with myself.

Your greatest friends can make the worst enemies. Especially when they try to cover up their wrongs right under your nose.

There is no way to tell what Federal politicians will conjure when they start loosing face, but most off the time it involves grasping onto those strains of power entusted to them by the electorate and use it regardless of those that gave it to them. Democrazies, pun intended, have a tendency to create their own enemies out of their friends when power is misused by its leaders. Classic tale you have been part of lately and mostly those who participate unwillingly in such a story are those who have to suffer the most.

I'm not telling you to listen to Executors, Kings, Emperors or whoever either, however, don't get me wrong. In dire times it is best to listen to oneself instead. Perhaps that is what the Minmatar should do right now. Where do you stand? What is the purpose? How can you further your causes? What are those causes and are they mine our my peoples? Are those not our enemies our allies? What is the death of one woman really worth? A lot of questions could be asked and contemplated upon. It is mostly seen through meditation and moments of solitude that the answers get less obscured.

I wish you a lot of wisdom in finding answers and making your decisions, in regard of this drama, wherever they may take you.
