Intergalactic Summit

Bias warning, I consider him a friend. But I gotta say, Mr. Medullier's transmission is a pretty classic example of "it's not the scandal, it's the response." In a pleasant subversion of the trope, he's probably turned a confidence-shaker into what I hope will be a new, level-headed and self-assured direction for Paradox going forward.

I suspect this was not the original plan for the heisters.

Not long ago, Alexylva Paradox was giving us Baby's First War Declaration. Now one of their members is giving us Baby's First Heist.

I can assure everyone that the gardens do not have goats.

First: It's good to see that ALXVP is handling their first experience with a corp thief with grace.

Second: This isn't news at all. Pretty much every corporation who inhabits Anoikis will wind up with valuables hanging out in the breeze sooner or later. KAIRS (before the merger, of course) had to deal with at least two corp thefts, and that was merely during my tenure; they had thefts before then, too.

In the words of HRDKX's Abis Cann in his writeup of their infiltration/takedown of MERYS (Insidious Design): "We realize, however, that there but for the grace of Bob go we...We've suffered a corp theft on average once every three months, and sometimes a few in rapid succession."

Hopefully this also serves as a reminder to CONCORD's firmware monkeys that the corporation roles system can go off and marry a Fedo any day now. While the last round of improvements provided a small relief in the form of personal hangar arrays, it does not go nearly far enough to address the intrinsic security issues with starbase life.

What, debauchery in deep space? Never.

ALXVP seem like a reasonable bunch of pilots from the little I know of them, sorry to hear of these dramas. Is why I've always been invite only. Deep space paranoia plays a positive role sometimes!

Thankfully it sounds like the culprits jumped the gun and took little of real value. 1.5b stings but it's not critical. I lost as much warping into a bubbled tower last week, but we won't go there...


We should do lunch when I'm in Empire sometime.


Well represented!

We should also do... lunch, again. My entrance opens daily, I'll have my people send you the coordinates, ahh.

Anyway... *goes back to her random perusal of threads*
