Intergalactic Summit

So, after all of the claims that WHG's audit was "business as usual, nothing to see here" is that still the line?

I think you can safely assume that the audit turned out to be more than business as usual - but that does not mean that Wiyrkomi was required to inform either you or us of that fact until they had the information they needed to make whatever choice they were weighing up.

Miss Vea, I'm sure everyone is moved by your generosity and your concern, as well as the fact that you are putting your money where your mouth is, but if you have heard reports of planetary bombardments then you've heard more than I've heard. At present the only reports I've heard have been an unannounced fleet mobilisation.

It seems that the Caldari State's political situation is/was far more fragile then anyone could have anticipated, if this is a full scale revolt as it looks like at this point in time then you have to question how long Heth has left on his throne. What madness has driven him to bombard his own people that he promised to protect..those now are very clearly empty promises, even to an ardent Heth Loyalist.

And for this to coincide with the emergence of these new type of troops is disturbing.

I will be paying close attention to this

It would appear the tensions within the State are reaching fever pitch. These could prove to be interesting times.

Perhaps this is some sort of "training" procedure being employed by the State, as preparation for either defensive responses to invasion OR an offensive strike. If anything it is a reminder of the State's Military Prowess

Miss Rinai, there is no real difference.

Wiyrkomi acted to terminate the employment of the rioters - which I'm sure you'd agree is within their rights. No further information regarding the fate of the ex-employees has been released and I'm sure, once again, you understand that if Wiyrkomi Home Office washed their hands of them and also closed down Wiyrkomi Honor Guard, the former members of that organisation have absolutely no authority that they could use to get Kaalakiota to offer them access or information regarding the rioters.

As an enfranchised Citizen of the State, you can remain assured that I follow my own heart, where compatible with my Duty and obligations to my employer. Am I surprised and concerned by the mobilisation? Yes, I am - but I understand that the State releases information according to the schedule of the operations it is involved in and not before.

Again, there have been no confirmed reports of shooting, of orbital bombardment, of any sort of mass-scale insurrection or rioting. There have been no confirmed reports of the mobilisation of any of the Corporate Security forces - which I can assure you WOULD be happening if they felt that their independence was being trampled. There hasn't been a single confirmed report of a fleet action or a planetary blockade.

Is it worrying? Of course! I also understand that the Amarrian, Minmatar and Gallentean blocs feel the need to match the State's mobilisation with one of their own but, again, no incursion into foreign space has been reported. Now is not a time for finger wagging or blame games. Now is a time to watch and wait.

C'mon... Clearly yesterday was the day to stock up on ammo, before the prices went up...

Not if you're selling. Life is good.

It's a Gallente invention, I think. I've seen a lot of amazing things in my journeys, like hundreds of supercarriers and titans slogging it out, majestic plasma planets, sleeper strictures in wormholes, but none compare to a fine Gallente pleasure hub stocked with lithe, nubile, svelte Gallente girls.

Killing a bunch of random pubbies in highsec? Say it ain't so! Goonswarm would never do such a-oh wait.
So what. If ruining the lives of demigods is what it takes to turn the State away from bombarding Caldari citizens, very well. If GSF goes down this path, we don't even have to kill every ship, just freighters-which are incredibly light on crew. The markets will move elsewhere and that will be that.
