Solitude being a tad far from Muttokon, and separated by multiple logistical nightmare systems at that, the apparently inept Republic government had better start showing they are doing something beyond just sitting on a Kyonoke bomb waiting for it to go off, or people are going to start taking matters into their own hands and surgically cut off from such things, we capsuleers can't even help stop that from happening.

I have contacted Administrator Etbald with regard to this point. Given the cool reception ceded by Valklear General Elislar at the onset of the crisis, I do not anticipate much of a response. Perhaps word will circulate in a productive way, but I am doubtful. I would encourage concerned parties to contact their Tribal MPs in what manner is permitted by their Clans.

Certainly not this one either, as the Empire controls none of the current infection sites directly. There's been absolutely no word on our end about actions taken or stances to be held.

And yet it was in Imperial Space. True they do not own the station around Efu.

But to even allow Kyonoke to exist inside Imperial borders does make one asks awkward questions about maliciousness and incompetence.

Uh ... considering that it's basically undetectable until someone gets sick, Ms. Leshrac, I'm not sure it's being asked such a question that's awkward.

The mistake all of you are making is thinking that Kyonoke is a purely natural, scientific phenomena that obeys scientific laws. Thus, you are all confused when the contagion seems to violate those laws (by being a prion with DNA or by somehow penetrating filters that by all accounts should be too small for it to pass through).

Instead, think of Kyonoke like the Bright Star that destroyed the Jove. It violated scientific laws, because it was an Act of God. Kyonoke is a tool sent by God to his Chosen that we might weaponize it and complete the genocidal extermination of the Minmatar people and finally dissolve this rotting corpse of the Golden Age into the glorious new Blood Age that awaits us. All of you so-called Imperial Loyalists should stop trying to send aid and instead get your Minmatar slaves infected in order that we might spread their infection among the Minmatar people.

Even so, may the Blood Age come quickly. Amen. Amarr Victor.

For something supernatural, it seems like it's responding well to current containment methods: nanoshield, whatever that is; whatever the SoCT has done to keep it from spreading through their station. Maybe those are secretly mystical rites or something, though. The SoCT does have a theocratic history, so, I guess you'd probably say that they're keeping the unfortunate souls you sent to that station from becoming infected through wicked profane rituals.

Given your deity's preferences, I'm guessing defying Him involves drawing arcane sigils on the bulkheads with gumdrops or something.

If it appears supernatural, it means we do not understand it enough, not because it's magic.

A Minmatar warship is like a rusting Beetle with 500 horsepower Cardillac engines in the rear, armour plating bolted to chassis and a M2 Browning stuck on top.

Uh, Mr. Egivand, very respectfully, I think this statement is a little lost on both the people it looks like you might have aimed it at. For exactly opposite reasons.

I was reading Nauplius's post and getting excited to cite it as an example of what I was talking about yesterday, but then I got to the end and now am not sure quite what to think.

In most things, Mr. Nauplius is kind of an outlier.

A little context: his response to this was to thank me for revealing some secrets of Achur occultism and ask me for more. Which, I might very well produce at some point in a similar spirit.

If I do, I expect his reaction to those will be similar: he'll mine them for any little bit of occult insight he can derive.

You always have the most brilliant ideas, Ms. Jenneth. I had not considered that the SoCT might have contained Kyonoke
on its station (and thus prevented the infection of the slaves I delivered there) by means of arcane warding. I shall begin demonic magickal operations against these wards immediately.

Ms. Jenneth,

I really do enjoy seeing another Faith at work. I too would like to view a copy.

You have my word that I will not use it for any purpose aside to assuage my curiosity.

Dear Diary,

My budding career as a satirist seems to be doomed. On the upside, I might have stumbled into an accidental career as a witch and adviser on occult matters to various Sani Sabik. I wonder if I can sell one of them this tritanium mine I opened on New Caldari last month.

Note to self: remember to order more leftover soup from the occult supply store.

And now the witch tries to play her horrifying displays of eldritch brewmancy off as 'satire' to avoid facing divine justice for her heresy.

She must burn!

All these individuals jumping to arcana... Shouldn't be trifling with such so quickly as the answer.

In any case, not sure how many people were turned into newts.

Ms. Jenneth —

Please provide a translation for this latest spell; while I can feel the occult rhythm phrases like "... ... ... okay", I do need to know which Achuran spirit is being summoned by such incantations. Also, I don't know why you think I would want a tritanium mine on New Caldari. While my Mehatoor system home is rather poor in asteroid fields, it still contains enough Veldspar to produce frigates and destroyers, which are all I really need. I also don't understand your need for leftover soup; in my tradition, the liquids used in occult operations tend to be blood or holy water, and I rather think your people's use of leftover soup instead would constitute a significant downgrade of spiritual potential, unless you've somehow preserved partial knowledge of a deeply primordial rite that used such soup.

What state of mind were you in when you figured out it was a toilet? Can you try summoning that again?

Mr. Nauplius/Whatever your last name is if that isn't it, I can't pretend to know you well, but you're doing like, a bit, right? Not to say you haven't killed a lot of people or what-have-you - I've heard enough about that - But this is just a farce to dress the whole thing up. You can't say things like this and expect people to believe you're a real human being.

Come on, fess up.
