Intergalactic Summit

Access denied. Oh, and, stay out of Syndicate for the safety of yourself and crew.

There is no crisis. There is only progress.

I am not here encourage the whims of pompous Federal politicians. I am here to get jobs done. We came to Syndicate to better the lives of those people down there. We have poured more money into those planets than you have ever seen on your wildest dreams. While you sat in Intaki whining about a tiny siphon on your drug lab, I was finishing up the reports on a three year campaign to provide much more than an hourly job at an undefended narcotics plant to the unfortunate.

That some lowlife thugs decided to step in my way and I got rid of them is part of the package. If you cannot accept that sometimes, the good of the collective comes before the rights of the individual, you are unfit for your capsule. Yet I doubt that you are so naive. You don't give a damn about those people. Until I made this thread, you didn't even know they existed. You never cared to look in the dark corners of the cluster. You never wanted to, afraid of what you might find. Afraid that the real world isn't what you thought it was, that shaking hands and kissing babies doesn't actually help anybody.

So keep mewling about those poor orphans, Thiesant. Keep crying about how bad they have it now that the drug dealers are gone, now that the protection rackets are gone, now that they don't have to get their drinking water from a waterhole thick with parasites. Keep telling me how horrible we are for spending blood money on building up the lives of a people left to die alone.

Keep talking.

Interesting…

Thank you for bring this to our attention.

For the sake of not muddying I-RED's thread up, I'll keep this brief and suggest that further discussion may merit a thread of its own:

Without a good deal more information on the matter Ms. Ymladris, I can't really take a stance on the alleged Black Eagle camp and the prisoners you found. With that said...

If I were a Black Eagle, that is the rationalization I would likely tender to you.

Very Caldari-minded, that group is. A notion that strikes me as rather ironic.

To bring the topic back on hand.
Congratulations on your venture, it appears to have been a resounding success.
This ill informed sniping benefits no one.

Go with grace.

An interesting read, miss Oniseki. Most interesting indeed. I applaud you and yours on being able to make this project happen in the face of adversity. I look forward to hearing how the project moves on without direct I-RED involvement.

Illustrious project.
Not really surprised to see some simpleminded outrage at the hint of what happens when reality interferes with noble plans, both because it's offering that sweet feeling of vindication and because this is the IGS and it's the reason we all come here.

Don't mind him, though, he's doing this as his job, it's probably not even his own opinion.

I-Red is to be commended for recognizing the value of structured spirituality to an Ordered, Community-Centered and Productive Society.

I join in Director Mithra's sentiments with respect to this worthy initiative.

Precisely, Tuulinen, but also keep in mind that Wayism is not a product to be exported. It is neither something I personally care to share with foreigners. It was mostly a personal decision not to risk insulting my own faith by trying to convert a bunch of outsiders to it.

Besides, Wayism is less efficient as a behavioral modifier when applied outside of existing Caldari culture. The Amarr faith has a proven track record of adjusting the behavioral patterns of entire civilizations simply by its introduction, even without force of arms. When considered as a method of population control, Amarr is easily the more practical choice.

So it turns out a little Caldari pragmatism can make even the Empire's dodderings useful. That's both scary and reassuring.
