It appears not everything was caught by the Legion blockade.

I don't believe anyone mentioned boosters or narcotics so far, so I fail to see why the sudden change of topic?
Or if you don't think it's a change of topic, please clarify, since Tuulinen-haan said:

"Seizure of assets is a traditional method of funding law enforcement in the State..."

And you said yourself, in a reply to that particular topic:

"Or, to put it bluntly, if you get in our way, we'll take your stuff. "

Are you implying State is confiscating and then selling boosters to fund its law enforcement programme?
Those are some serious accusations, Mr. Vikarion.


Who cares? If the State is confiscating your boosters and then selling them itself, that strengthens the State AND avoids the pitfalls of allowing non-State actors to do so. If they aren't - and they probably aren't - it's your other stuff. I trust that the State and its leadership would only sell products to consumers it felt to be responsible and in need of said seized products.

You seem to be operating under the theory that the State, now or ever, has been an entity more concerned with morality or law than the survival and success of its population and people, in a unified culture. A corporation of Gallente heritage and decadence has no place here. It's not just about your products, it's about you.

You do what's best for you. We do what's best for us. We're stronger than you.

I, for one, will be happy to recover some of these blueprints. Of course to be sure they have not been tampered with I'll need to assemble at least one of the ships and ice lasers.

Strictly to insure ORE's reputation remains untarnished.

If I refuse to sell you a pie, for the sake of my beliefs or yours.. who really loses out here? Me. I will have lost a sale and possibly future sales, and you will just go to another pie-maker!

A generally positive development to be sure.

I congratulate the Upwell Consortium on the addition of ORE.

The promotion of industrial progress, disassociated from conventional political alignments, is a welcome development.

You'd be wrong. There's no benefit to any sensitivities to be ruffled.

A little trust goes a long way. The less you use, the further you'll go.
