Ask yourself - a woman in a capsule returns from death in a world in which every single day thousands of people in capsules return from death, and yet her return is somehow different? There's faith and then there's blindness.

To be honest, Andy, I can call you Andy right? Right.

In all seriousness I am surprised corpses survive podding at all, let alone after a self destruct. Having cooked off a few eggs with capital pulses before, I was pretty surprised to see that anything other than fused metal and carbon atoms remained of the poor sod who had been sitting there.

Maybe this is less a theological issue and more a debate on shaped charges and the vast plethora of ways one's corpse can survive being forcibly ejected from a device with all the integrity of a federation political campaign?

I am grateful and devoted servant of the Empire, but I owe a greater obedience to God; and as long as I draw breath and have my faculties I shall never stop practising philosophy, which is the pursuit of truth. To those that claim to be righteous. Are you not ashamed that you give your attention to opinion, and similarly with reputation and honor, and give no attention or thought to truth and understanding?

If I have no contact whatsoever with God in my life, then I cannot see in the other anything more than the other, and I am incapable of seeing in him the good of God. But if in my life I fail completely to heed others, solely out of a desire to be “devout” and to perform my “religious duties”, then my relationship with God will also grow arid. It becomes merely “proper”, but loveless. Only my readiness to encounter the lost and to show him love makes me sensitive to God as well. Love of God and love of neighbour are thus inseparable, they form a single commandment. But both live from the love of God who has loved us first. No longer is it a question, then, of a “commandment” imposed from without and calling for the impossible, but rather of a freely-bestowed experience of love from within, a love which by its very nature must then be shared with others. Faith grows through love, is “divine” because it comes from God and unites us to God; through this unifying process it makes us a “we” who transcends our divisions and makes us one with God.

MIssplaced love is like throwing acid over a rose to nurture it: it only makes a beautiful thing become rotten.

So is you out of a job, then? I's been looking into getting an Amarrian butler, you see. One that's a bit of a looker and clever with his fantasies.

Perhaps the Ametat and Avetat have finally been recovered?

When thine heart shines with the Light, thou shalt know no hardship;

There is a place you can continue your pursuits without persecution from your peers. Prove yourself a worthy combat pilot under the banner of the Angel Cartel and you will have all the freedom you will ever need.

Praying for myself.
These thoughts I try to hide.
I have faith in me and hope this will survive.
But it's tearing me apart.
I can't hear the words by which I guide.
So I must ask again who will carry me.

I will not deny that nothing can defend
from the helplessness that's cutting deep inside,
and I cannot prevent the thought that nothings real.
Seems I've waited years for this day to end.

The strength I need to feel, the pride inside of me,
Are not there behind the face staring back at me.
The anger and the pain of knowing where I am.
I have come so far and I cannot return.

Nothing I can do that I have not done.
No words I can say. No truth left that I can see.
So must I let this end so everything falls apart.
Before I live the life as I have always done.

Tell me what to do so I do nothing wrong.
Something I can hope for. Something real that I can see.
So nothing falls apart. So that it does not end.
I cannot return. I can't start again.

Von Khan, i am sure when all is said and done, things will point to itself, and like all humans, its only human to be subject to the biochemical process called emotions !, we all stumble and fall, the question is who will stand by your side and give you a aiding hand, where ewer your paths take you, i hope you will keep creating equations of words, well wished !

I, for one, admire his honesty. Trust the path you take, through all of its turns and falls. Admire the sting in your lungs as you draw in breath after a tiring day of search. Have pride in knowing where you tread few have gone before, and no one has or ever will leave the same footprints. May your search for truth never end, von Khan.

I am also a human, straggling between the present world... and our future. I am a regulator, a coordinator, one who is meant to guide the way.

"So instructed the Queen to her champion,
‘Beware the righteous who seek truth in spirit alone;
The weak of mind are quick to judge with slightest tempt;
Thus fools go forth to spread false word,

Great misery follows those who heed what only the weak have heard.
Heed me champion, for only you shall know;
Within the blue ring of fire lies the final key of revelation.
Find this ring, my champion, and both mind and spirit shall be strong once more.’"

Your decisions were laden with blind stupidity and a disgusting disregard for your colleagues. And this is the message from your own testimony, not to mention the other allegations against you.

If you find employment again, please, think with your actual brain. Not your hindbrain.

von Khan: Proof that a promising mind can be entirely led astray by hormones.

Also apparently evidence that once the hormones have done their work the brain ceases to be promising?

What I find interesting from this “Cirque du Silas” is where others show empathy, friends turned their back. Such is life, the price for kissing a witch.

Capsuleer house Murder publicly offers Capsuleer von Khan a position within our structure. Pending an interview and mutual agreement.

While I intend no disrespect to Lord Vaari and his most generous offer, I think it is important to remind all of you that sainthood is not a requisite to being counted among the Faithful. Besides a man willing to place his reputation on line for truth certainly has heart enough to become a valued addition to any organization.

I never denied this, all it took to destroy my life was a long trip, a kiss and a slap in the face. You know what hurt me most is not Silas rejection, but that of my friends.
