Intergalactic Summit

Perhaps you're right, Priano-haani. It just goes against the grain to cast any citizen aside at times like these.

Let us not cast her aside. Let us merely keep her at a distance, 'til we know she is not the rabid hound, but the unfortunate hound whose master was vicious.

I agree, dear! Times such as these call for vodka, tomato juice, and sex.

I have this little place by a giant frozen lake on Caldari Prime. Swing by! Unwind! Battlefields remain ever in flux. Plot a new realm on the sensual, smoldering ruins of the old. It's good for the soul! We Amarr understand these things.

Hm. Interesting.

I would be very interested to see what Kim-haani has to say to all of this.

So many speaking for and against her, yet hardly a voice from her. While there will always be difference of opinions when it comes to how to deal with certain matters, let us not forget that a large part of what actually happens depends on the person themselves and what they are willing to do and/or say to defend themselves.

I do hope you are willing to open up soon, Kim-haani. There are those of us out here who, (despite believing in justice and prefers someone answers for what has happened) , are curious as to your well-being and hope for your stability overall.

And by the same token, were she in possession of half the poise and introspection of some of her kirjuunen she would be twice the Caldari she is.

None of us are perfect, but where I'm from we don't tip-toe around a person's shortcomings to spare their delicate feelings. If somebody needs an education, then give it and if they're all offended then it's their job to harden the frak up.

I appreciate that this approach can and does backfire, but I tend to take the view that a soldier of her reputed calibre should be tough enough to take it.

Diana - as it happens I'm out of pod probably until Monday, so you've got a few days just yet. I look forward to our conversation.

Why are they defending Kim? I will tell you why.

When the Gallente took all the Caldari systems, where was I-RED? In null space. When the Gallente attacked Caldari Prime, where was I-RED? Planning a fleet with the possible goal of downing the Leviathan - and don't bother lying, I have the mails. And yes, certainly an argument can be made about not dooms-daying the homeworld. It's just rather telling that the only thing that got you back into State space was the excuse to kill a Caldari Titan, on whose kill-mail more than a couple I-RED members appear, I believe.

And where was Stitcher when the Gallente took all of the State's low-sec? In Republic space, aiding the same country whose militia members were flooding into Black Rise in support of the Gallente offensive. When Caldari Prime was nearly destroyed by an unnecessary Gallente attack, Mr. Hakatain promptly had an attack of melodrama, then...went back to the Republic. But when Pyre Falcon actually crossed over the Amarrian border to hit back at the Republic forces, apparently that was beyond the pale for our good Mr. Hakatain.

When the Gallente were taking Black Rise, I can tell you where I was. I was enlisting in the State Protectorate. And that's where Tuulinen was. And Kim.

And when the first shots against Heth were fired, when the factory workers in their freighters were brutally shot down, it wasn't I-RED or Mr. Hakatain or MXD or the other moralizers here who were there defending them. It was me, and Kraid, and Tuulinen.

Here's the fact of the matter: you don't get to tell Pieter Tuulinen what it means to be Caldari, or who ought to be Caldari, because, comparatively, you don't have the faintest frakking clue. You listen to him. Because he actually has the courage of his stated convictions, and acts on them.

And you don't get to tell Diana Kim that she ought to be committing suicide. When the State needed her, she was there, even if she is racist and of completely inappropriate political views. She wasn't off vacationing in Heimatar or Syndicate when she was needed most, and she tried to do the best she could for the State, even if she was mistaken on some points.

You don't have some sort of pedestal to be standing on. The best of you haven't done much more than yelp from the sidelines, and the worst of you are god damned near collaborators with the enemies of the State.

What exactly do you want to hear, haani? I thought my positions were pretty much clear. If you want, I can repeat them to you, or you may ask more direct questions.

And no, I do not willing to open myself. I was already opened recently, but thanks to Scherezad-haani and her medical crew, I was properly closed, and I would prefer to stay this way.


I would like to thank everyone who were defending me, but it wasn't necessary. I am a big girl and I can take care about myself.


And I would like to ask you to stop fighting between each other. We all are Caldari. We shouldn't fight each other. We must stay united and fight as one, as one nation. Our enemies are not other Caldari. Our enemies are Gallenteans. As one very wise and merited man said, "they are bane of our existence". Turn your swords against them.

The Federation must be destroyed.

You too will learn to ignore Vikarion. He likes to rant about Ishukone-Raata like he knows anything of the slightest about our organization, or Ishukone.

Actually, Miss Oniseki, I would encourage you not to drink the tea. In fact, I'd call you a fool for suggesting it, and try to get you some help.

I do, as it turns out, value the lives of other Caldari, even if I think they are damn fools.
