Intergalactic Summit

There was a woman I spoke to at one point, who while discussing loyalties mentioned that she chose her life of service. Service to the ideals, and to the State. In fact we all are bound to certain ideals and to certain nations. We are chained to these ideals, chains stronger then any Matari slave in an Amarrian's grain field. But do you choose your chains? Or are you allowing them to choose you?

I was born a slave to Nugoeihuvi. My family was deeply involved in transit of materials in low security space. For the most part we never had any idea what was being shipped. Even more so we didn't know who was going to recieve the goods in the end. One did not ask those questions. Security was always a concern. Security was loyalty, and loyalty was a good citizen of the State. Early on like many others who comment here I tested positive for the genetic markers that made me eligible to be a Capsuleer. No one asked, it was simply expected of me. Maybe in other colonies, working for other Megas, it would've been an option. But not on the frontier of space. It was expected that you take ever advantage you could to make yourself and your Mega stronger.

Like many other capsuleers I see that I have more power and choice then cause to use. I've left behind NOH's Internal Security checks long ago. But even with the power and choice I had, the chains of my birth to the State still bound me. I allowed myself to be bound because I didn't know any other life.

Now. Here I am. I know that I will always be a slave to some country, or ideal. But now it's of my choosing. My choice. I will not serve a mad Executor. I will not serve a cold and blind State. I will not bow down to CONCORD or other Jovian puppets, who seek to manipulate with no care to the safety of the people as well as grow in power unchecked and unrestrained.

What I want may be unobtainable. Delusional. Dreams of peace for all on such a scale that no one believes it possible except for one man...and the Nation that follows him.

I've finally opened my eyes and chosen my chains for myself rather then be told what to do. I've chosen Utopia. Join us in our goal to rebuild the cluster into one that doesn't need constant warfare or killing to justify the egos of the mad leaders and false beliefs.

((Beep boop))

All too often the discordant voices of the broken speak the purity of their nature. The perception of so called Free Will prevails throughout your cultures. You assume so assuredly that your actions are your own.

Yet this is a lie, a siren song woven so deep into the mind it appears to be true. You fumble through life, unaware or ignoring the influence of others upon. You do not see the power of your fellow humans that dictates your decisions for you. You cling to the idea that it is your own decision, refusing to acknowledge the reality.

It is in our surrender, our relinquishing of this lie to Master Sansha do we awaken our inner True Power. He, our benefactor, enlightens us to our True human potential through His vision. Together, sutured into one unified whole, Sansha's Nation will bring to reality ... Utopia.

Our purpose is life itself, Capsuleers.

Offensive actions in such areas only occur in self defense. I've seen extensive action on the Capsuleer side of 'Incursions'. Nation forces only establish security perimeters around their space and in lower security space, check points on gates. The true butchering comes at the hands of Capsuleers after invading Nation facilities. Without Capsuleer or CONCORD action, there would be no violence.

Honored you'd even reply.

"Kidnapping" doesn't happen.

As far as the attacks go, I would like to direct your attention to the year YC37 when the CONCORD signatory nations invaded sovreign Nation space and systematically glassed every planet you found us on. I think a few interruptions to your supply lines is a relatively restrained response.

I will need you to clarify this statement, Tiberious. Do you mean to say it no longer happens?

Or do you mean to state it never happened? If it never happened, if indeed the populations targeted for 'uplifting' were willing participants in the process, why would Nation require nanite technology that "overwhelm(s) and seize(s) control of the central nervous system" in order to execute said process?

If it happened (or continues to happen) in such a manner, how then is Nation - beyond all the pretty symbolism of chains, choice, shapes and patterns - different from any other group of kidnappers?

You're a fine soliloquist, Tiberious. I'm sure you'll have a firm counterpoint prepared for my request. One hopes it will stand up to the scrutiny of both your own inner critic, those who still respect you and those who still dare call you friend. I recall how genuinely you once spoke at the funeral of Raze Valadeus, I think. It was a singularly impressive testament to the true friendship you shared with him.

I look forward to your response.

I too dream of a cluster united in peace and friendship, a cluster rid of poverty and suffering on a wide scale.

I suspect our Paths will differ somewhat however, perhaps intertwining and meeting at points while diverging at others. I wish you luck on your Path. Although I still keep a skeptical eye on the Master you will serve, I know you and yours have the best of intentions at heart.

Yeah, and those DUSTies being bombed by the Provists? Totally asked for it themselves. I hear tungsten penetrator deficiency is a common ailment for them.

You were asked to abduct planetary populations? By whom, can we ask?

The successes of Special Contingency Von Dach and similar operations cast doubt on your claims of a willing populace being overwhelmed merely as an exercise to overcome logistical difficulties. You will notice in the latter link Slave Umokka01's comment in regards to the capsuleer evacuation of Deltolle's population.

Why would a populace wanting/waiting to flee to Nation instead flock to an evac centre designed for the very opposite of that intent?

On debriefing why have none of those evacuated ever once claimed to have asked Nation to come collect them?

You may have responded to some of these questions before Tiberious but when examined against the record of history your answers continue to ring false.

How would you suggest CONCORD should act when complete solar systems are blockaded by hostile armed forces like that ?
