Ok, who's got the betting pool for how long he's imprisoned? I want 3 weeks.

Something is very fishy in all this affair. Very very wrong.

I know you'll be most cautious when dealing with the traitor Caine, but make sure the other options suggested here are denied. Specially, the possibility of having another person inside his brain, instead of himself. Or that he may have forked into several copies of himself before handing this one to justice.

Very well guarded. An assault on his location or attempted escape would be incredibly difficult.

We are aware of the plethora of ways a capsuleer can escape, we have searched for every possibility and are confident that we have minimized the risk. I think I would be lying to myself if I thought we could hold him for the full sentence however. We do expect to have him for a long time.

A malfeasant "Holder" being held to account by a Republic Court of Law.

Imperial loyalists concurring with the guilt and surrendering said "Holder."

Interesting times.

I find this whole business farcical. The fact is that the Angel Cartel and the MO of the Alexlyva Paradox should have never crossed paths.

The heart of the matter is that Saede as an individual has had involvements with the Angels. But at best she may have been considered an associate, not a loyalist. Even then, a loyalist is not an Angel, so your name-calling is misplaced.

You will find that historically Corporate interests in the Cartel have been low among it's Capsuleer bloc. I myself take a stance of ambivalence to the Cartel; I find them to be useful as antagonists to the Republic, but I personally maintain poor standings with the Angels and I can't picture how they place into the vision of the Paradox, or how they could have ever been useful for more than a short-term, mutually beneficial business relationship.

To this end, whilst Saede and her baseliner teams serving directly beneath her have had dealings with the Cartel;

- No corporate assets (to my knowledge) have been used to support the Cartel's operations since Saede's announcement.

- Thusly, the majority of the corporation's (past and present) pilots have had no hand in supporting the Angels.

I will criticize my CEO at this time, though. My original premise states that the Cartel had no place in the MO of the Corporation. I stand by this firmly. Associating the Corporation with the Angels in my eyes was obviously only going to serve to compromise the perception it's actual nature - a gathering of scientists and thinkers who strive for peace.

Pragmatism has it's place. I don't believe that it's a fallacy to seek peace through violence. However, the callousness and disregard that Saede has demonstrated in the past isn't excusable. This said, she is trying to repent and you should allow respect for that fact. Whether you can find that in you or not, I do not mind.

However, I do mind if you hold her this against the Corporation, which has seen huge reformations and changes in membership since Saede's Angel involvement. This is the kind of willful ignorance and a lack of compassion such as that which causes many of my brothers to take up arms and kill their fellow man simply because he wears the mantle of Amarr.

We are more than the past actions of only some of those who have worn our name. But a child could grasp that. I hope for your sake that you are able to.

My apologies for the long-winded off topic post. I hope that this settles the issue.

I agree that the way this all went down is rather irregular. But it is not Republic Law that is being enforced here. A representative of the Republic has openly stated that they have nothing to do with this "court". The proceedings and resulting verdict seem to be in the hands a never heard of Shandian Iu clan and represented by capsuleers fresh out of the Republic University. It would have made more sense to me to consider the words of the caseworker at the Republic Justice Department and take the case before the Directive Enforcement Department.

That way we would have had a verdict with more credibility than this farce.

In short: Steer clear from Curse, or we're gonna have to light some candles up around here.

I find it so funny most of you judge others solely on your own beliefs and are intolerant to the point of not taking other's points of view or own beliefs.

Made me giggle. It's rare I giggle.

My stance on the Cartel hasn't changed, so I find it funny I'm being accused of backpedaling. Obviously reading isn't one of your strong suits so I'll spell it out for you; the Cartel is a temporary convenience. They're also dying out. Their time will come, but until then I hope that they can at least wound the fledgling Republic. This is, and has been my opinion of the Angels since my days living in Molden Heath.

The Angels were never anything more to me than puppets. I just enjoy watching how the Dominations make them dance.

If this upsets you by all means, tear me limb from limb, ravage me, decorate yourself with my carcass. You'll change nothing.

If they had found out, indeed.

You're really hot when you're making death threats.
