Intergalactic Summit

Funny how this was a topic on the IGS Chat last night.

I find Elder Mentor Matshi Raish's comments to be... interesting

After all he is asking the Empires that have been afflicted to come together with the brightest minds to solve the issue something to my knowledge that has never happened

If this is a real Inquest, would not CONCORD be the authority to oversee such an unprecedented issue? Also are we looking at a criminal or medical situation?

There are many questions with this latest development.

Not sure this is news. Evidently Gallente civilians are concerned about the loss of rights of the civilians inside the Myrskaa quarantine zone.

Needless to say, quarantine shouldn't be breached because someone light years away is concerned about a single person. A quarantine breach could kill millions or billions.

I'll admit, Elmund, there are times when I sort of feel bad for those of you in the FDU.

Because, get this, those people have a say in your government.

This is most troubling. It's understandable they'd be concerned over the rights of their people, just as most everyone elsewhere is concerned about those being held in quarantine across New Eden. But we all must look at the bigger picture here. As Priano-haani said, a quarantine breach would only make things worse.

I pray deeply that this does not escalate. If these protests turn violent and action has to be taken against them, it will only further fuel the fires that are beginning to be fed when it comes to "Us versus Them". Not only this, but if the nano-dome is breached, then may God have mercy on the entire planet.

We all must try to look at this rationally. Fighting against each other will help no one but whomever set this all up. They are likely watching this all with a smile on their face.

There may be a way to safely study the Kyonoke agent inside the quarantine zone, and to begin cleanup measures.

I am unsure about whether infected persons can be treated by this method though.

As much as I hate to say it, the stopping of supplies may mean that those within the city are believed to be lost. It would be inefficient to deliver supplies when the people are either dead or on their deathbed. I don't mean to say that without heart. But it's the only reason I can think that they'd stop.

I wouldn't be surprised if there were soon.

While I can understand the concerns of my fellow citizens, my only response would be "What about the rights of the expatriate Gallenteans who have NOT been infected yet?".

Does something need to be done? Yes. Are the powers that be doing it? Probably, although we cannot currently see it (at least, not in any detail beyond the press releases). Should a bunch of protesters get involved? Only if they wish to get themselves and bunch of other innocents killed to assuage their need for action.

I feel bad for those who have lost, or are at least in the process of very probably losing their loved ones. But that doesn't make it right for them to endanger those who have avoided this catastrophe. It's harsh, but unless the SoCT can come up with something, it's what we have to live with, whether we like it or not.

So while the protesters are rightfully complaining about rights, the situation is this - the rights of the people dead or dying in that contamination zone end at the point of the rights of those who have not yet been infected to, y'know, not be infected. Just like the right of someone swinging their arms around ends at the point where another persons right not to get hit in the nose begins.

We should not be opening the borders of those zones. Instead, research and possible testing and deployment of cures within those zones is what is needed, if possible. These are the politics and rights of what is necessary to do the most good for the most people, both infected and non-infected.

It is difficult situation, that is unfolding on Myrskaa. State are handling it with the due care and attention it requires, for those that remain inside the city and the families outside awaiting news, they are doing everything they can.

I've heard those rumors Mizhara ,i cannot confirm or deny if they are true. If supplies are being stopped, im sure there will be an official statement about it.
