Cloak of Mystery still surrounds Admiral Blake's departure from PIE Inc. !

Admiral Rodj Blake recently stepped down as chief executive of renowned Amarrian capsuleer corporation PIE Inc. in favour of Admiral Mitara Newelle, with Adm. Blake taking up a new role in an allied corporation.

Surprising !

Admiral Blake is notoriously difficult to interview, with requests for comments on previous issues being met with statements such as: “I am always happy to discuss matters with reputable news organisations, and if one of them asks me about this matter I will be sure to answer them.”

Humorous !

Documents shown to members of Gutter Press revealed the existence of a long term plot within PIE Inc. to subvert the position of Admiral Blake, in favour of parties unknown.

Amazing !

Other informants approached Gutter Press staff with statements such as: "It's all about the contents of Hangar X", claiming that on an unnamed station somewhere in the Empire, there is a PIE Inc. owned hangar with all manner of scandalous and amazing artifacts, including claims of a "Gold plated Rifter, with an inscription on it saying 'To my dear friend Rodj, from Maleatu", which if true, means that Sanmatar Shakor himself gave Admiral Blake a golden Rifter!

Incredible !

Gutter Press continues to investigate the stories that get people talking.

As usual, Muck Raker has got things completely wrong. Is it any wonder that people are reluctant to talk to her?

There is no cloak of mystery surrounding my departure. I stepped down simply because it was the right time to do so.

There was no plot to remove me. If anything, people plotted to keep me in PIE!

There is no gold-plated Rifter. I have golden ships, but they are all of superior Amarrian design. I certainly have no ships given to me by that scum-sucker Shakor, although I do have a Pax Amarria signed by the late Emperor Heideran VII.

As a good friend of Admiral Blake, i found this article rather amusing read.

In either case, it certainly makes for good gossip material on our next Fua Holder meeting gala.
Oh, did I say that out loud?

I have always been pleased to see the dignity and grace with which you weather the storms of the IGS, Admiral.

Indeed, the class and dignity with which many in the Amarrian capsuleering community act continues to inspire me. It is very easy to see why the State allied with the Empire. Enjoy your new employment, Admiral.

I wouldn't be surprised if PIE are all Minmatar sellouts.

Why do you feel the need to impugn the work of this hard-hitting and incisive journalist, pilot? I for one read every single one of Muck Raker's articles!

Gutter Press is one of the few worthwhile sources of news I have left.

I'm surprised she hasn't yet drawn any conclusions from Admiral Newelle's dashing husband's return to PIE a month after her rise to the CEO position. That couldn't possibly be related, could it?

Come on Archon, you can respond better than that.
You've been given a challenge, respond to it appropriately... oh I do hate these moments where I have to kick my former pupils into sense.

Much too much effort. I am, after all, a freeloading nepotist.

Serious responses belong in serious message systems.

You mean this isnt a "serious message system"?

Well. ****.

It's probably serious by your standards.
