I'm not really all that great with the legal process, to be honest. As you can see by my binding NDA, I tend to get tied up in red tape pretty frequently.

And sorry for replying to the both of you at once, I thought it best to tie these threads together.

Did Mistress 'Zad seriously just tie Anslo and myself together? Galnet may just have combusted.

It's fine. Tearing through red tape can be pretty fun once you get the hang of it.

I'd rather deal with these legal acrobatics without you suuolo, sorry.

This is now beginning to read like one of the saucier books we burned in a cleansing fire (we may have tucked away a few of the rest under our bed). We worry greatly about the chocolate we would forego in repentence for glancing through such impudent pulp !

I'm pretty sure that there are already a large number of galnet fan fiction publications about that!

I'm also pretty sure that's likely the topic of those publications too!

My doubts of them involving a plucky Caldari assistant are civire.

I'm sorry brother but I just think you don't have the skills to maneuver around such complex legal proceedings, let alone a multi trial event.

As fun as this is, it is approaching my scheduled work period. So, you two have fun! I'm bound to return later, to see what knots you've tied yourselves into. Have fun, don't do anything illegal!

I'm sure Pieter will be practicing in hopes to catch up. I'll wait for you to return since we're basically on the same skill level.

Sure. I'm an ex-cop - what would I know about restraining people? No way, at all, did I take a box of things from my precinct house when I quit for capsuleer school.

See that's why you wouldn't be fit for this, as it requires a more delicate and technical approach.

For the record, this is not an example of "Gallente culture."

This is an example of an individual's fetish(es) and self expression, nothing more and nothing less.

While the Federation (and Gallente culture) may not actively discourage this form of expression (to do so would be rather antithetical to what it stands for, after all), it is, in no way, reflective of the culture at large.

From a personal viewpoint: down with this sort of thing.


It is an example of Gallente culture. At least a specific subset of Gallente culture. Body modding is a life style, a hobby, an art form and is practiced by many. It's not as prevalent as Minmatar tattoos, but it is not uncommon.
At its heart, the Federation ensures the freedom for individual expression and all that expression therein is an example of Gallente culture.
The secret to 'Gallente culture' is that there is no 'Gallente culture' just a myriad of groups living together, bound by a common desire of freedom and mutual respect.

As a further addendum, most of my work is in genetics. Some of the mods can be more subtle. If, for example someone wants wider hips, that's an easy fix. For a tail, we're going to be splicing in DNA from other mammals to encourage the right bits of growth.
