Intergalactic Summit

Just one question; will the executions be broadcast?

If this is a matter, as Ms Hanaya submits, of local laws being broken then I would like to ask my esteemed Amarrian friend what should be done to the Amarrians in Matar space who run slave plantations under contracts awarded by the Joint Harvesting Corporation in systems such as Bakrik?

Amarrian being those who have given themselves to the "One True God and have been reclaimed" as stated in the Book of Reclaiming, and yes the question was to you madam.

For being in possession of blasphemous material. Material that directly insults the current holder of the Throne they receive three months of restricted diet and physical punishment. After which another holder considers whether they show proper understandanging to the error of their ways. This holder may upon finding them sufficiently apologetic to transfer them over to Kaalakiota.

If I misunderstood the terms of their punishment I hope I will be corrected.

After such extreme considerations to our allies the Caldari on the sentencing and an exceedingly liberal amounts of mercy by this holder, you truly think suggesting no punishment and transferrance to their own corporation would have been more just?

You would do better to thank Lady Hanaya for exceeding leniency and apparent trust in Kaalakiota's local leaders to see that this does not happen again.

Unfortunately, I can only offer speculation. I don't have the Council's timetable on dealing with Holders that overstep their bounds. As the offense was committed in Minmatar space, perhaps the Matari should be more diligent in protecting their borders?

I hope you are referring to Hanaya?

The amount of assumptions you are jumping in your question smells of thinly veiled propaganda.

Firstly we do not have access to the agreements with the Republic by which Joint harvesting awards those contracts. So I cannot say whether those plantations benefit from a differing status to other plantations.

1. If those plantations do by agreement with the Republic benefit from, for excample, being applied Amarrian instead of the Republic law even your laws are not being broken.

2. If those plantations are being run against written agreements with the Republic, then that is a contractual breach and on such we tend to share our Caldari allies dislike of. No matter the culprit.

3. If those plantations do not violate written agreements, but by some quirk still violate your laws I am certain there will be plenty enough of murderous tribals to enforce some part of those laws.

On 1. If by contract no laws are broken, then I would expect any society of some order to respect the fact. With Tribes I expect the need for security against bloodcrazed racists and oathbreakers.

On 2. If there is a contractual breach I would be interested to see proof so that holders of such low moral character can feel the displeasure of such failings at home as well.

On 3. I will show the Republic law as much respect and accordance as the Tribes have. And as much as you show to Amarrian law in our sovereignity. None. (Barring differing contractual obligations.)

Quirks or not, Mr Crow, you're skimping details. Thus, for your very own pleasure, I offer the verbose book-before-bedtime addendum of Three.

Behold the J.H. convoy trudging to and fro all lined up for attention. Do you see it in your mind's eye? Right. So you'd likely think that these things would offer some nice scintillating explosions, but they don't so you'd be wrong. A bit of a let-down as they disintegrate and pirhouette slowly away from the scene in gold-hued bits and pieces of detritis. Fortunately for we murderous tribals, as you put it, why, we know full well that these slaves of yours are valuable commodities and are thus well protected inside their re-enforced cargo modules from the rigours of reclamation tribal style, such as we do it (and we do it very well indeed, thank you).

Emm, this now reminds me of a thing. One time we had a Concord 'watcher' close to the left and slightly above, a Republic Fleet copper to the right of us, almost parallel-ly. It was very neatly nuanced and synchronised metaphor of the status quo of Barkrik as a place, wayward as it is. I thought it interesting at the time. Maybe you do as well.

But back to the carnage. Sometimes we encourage the stronger of the released to beat their former guards absolutely bloody senseless before they are expelled with their religious paraphernalia and all that fictional guff straight out of the air-locks, as is only de rigeur for such occasions. One of my own Animataruu crew-men is a little over-zealous with all of this, Mr. Crow; I have had to half-heartedly reprimand him on more than eight ... nine occasions this year alone. But he is unrepentant so I ruffle his hair, promise him another raise and he forgives me. Love, sweet love, my paramour.

And before I forget. Why is JH transporting the occasional slave of Caldari ethnic origins? I'm no anthropologist, but ... well perhaps you can explain it all to Mr. Khross and his fellows.

Verifably. We've been at this business for a long time now and like to put all the pieces of the filthy jigsaw together, if we can. Our friends who handle the repatriation of those caught in the cross-fire would have more information for you but since the Caldari and Minmatar militias aren't seeing eye to eye, don't expect free info about this that or the other.

Brief details: Two Caldari of ethnic origin discovered. Two men, mid-thirties or so, were taken to safety on my own ship, where, as civilians, they were given aid as best as we could manage and then moved on away from a location. Health poor, malnourishment obvious, traumatised, you bet they were. The usual lamentable effects of Sarum's mob. 'God', clearly, didn't love them very much.

This was approximately six months back.

There we go. Concise and clear enough.
