Intergalactic Summit

Do not fret my pet, this doesn't change anything between us.

PYRE's suite caters most to my particular skillset. They offer to me the most opportunities to refine my abilities and their ROE aligns with my own as a combat pilot, with a focus in operations against the Republic and the Federation. Their camaraderie is appreciated and their attitudes commendable.

It is true that the most strength comes from the faithful who surround themselves with one another, but following the same vein it is also taught that weathering many hardships brings us closer to the Lord, and so I hope that this handicap will grow my abilities in the long-term.

Thus, whilst I return to the Lord, and certain is it that I would enjoy the company of an Amarr corporation, I feel that my service with PYRE will accelerate the progress of myself as a fighter and thus better enable me to exact His will.

Our Director, Veikitamo Gesakaarin, promotes a philosophy of self-improvement and service to the whole that I admire greatly. And really, the reasons Capsuleers have for working with one corporation or another are rather numerous. If you take an even cursory glance at the membership audits of any large alliance you will find Capsuleers of all religious, ethnic and ideological and backgrounds.

Does this sate your curiosity?

Pyre Falcon as an organization is in many respects modeled after the traditions of a Raata mercenary unit and as such I make few demands or expectations as regards individual backgrounds of race, ethnicity, religion, creed, or past associations. All that matters is a willingness to walk the path of an unsheathed blade where the ties that bind are defined solely in the acts of the shared spilling of blood and in so doing do we forge the bonds of comrades, of brothers, of sisters. The respect and tolerance I extend Agent Halete in the pursuit of her own personal faith is not granted out of privilege but because she has earned it with blood. I may not share her faith but I still consider her a comrade-in-arms and but one example of how those who share a similar martial spirit can move past their differences in pursuit of common goals.

There is something in particular that confuses me about you, Halete.

You have often, and repeatedly, expressed a desire for us, as a people, to return to the way we were in the time of the Minmatar Empire, when we knew peace and had no interest in nor need for war. This is something many of us would love to see, though the current climate in the cluster makes it a near impossibility, even if every single Matari in existence completely desired and tried to embrace this.


What confuses me, though, is you desire for us to return to a time before we ever encountered the Amarr, yet are also desiring to enforce Amarrian faith upon our people, which is exactly what ended the peace of the Minmatar Empire, and turned our people onto this path of war and conflict.

...I confess I'm no paticular expert on the Amarrian faith - Quite the opposite, in fact - But isn't there some sort of warning against "knocking twice"?

Pardon, but isn't it really more of an... Absolute command, rather then something everyone is expected to break, but be offered forgiveness for? Let me search the Galnet and find it...



The phrase "greatest penalty", "one time only" and the use of the word "woe" sort of suggest forgiveness is out of the question for such an act; It is simply an unrepentable folly which condemns one indefinately, a sin to be avoided at all costs.

I don't mean to play myself off as some sort of insight on the topic, nor question anyones faith, mind - Excuse me if I come across as such. I am merely a little confused and stating what appears apparant.

Ahh - Excuse me, then. No, I understood that well enough; However, I was under the impression based on a conversation (I believe in the Summit?) some time ago that you had followed the Amarrian faith in the past and then forsook it after being liberated from slavery. My quandry arose from such an understanding.

But if you've never followed the it at all, I was obviously somehow mistaken. Pardon.

You may be referring to Ayallah, girl. No, I never followed the faith whilst I was enslaved. I was a stubborn, brat child. I dismissed a good deal of the education I was given out of hand, even academics, due to my prejudice.

There is.

But God, in his great mercy, has granted those of us who left His light a second chance to return. Every race other than the Amarr have already cast aside their first chance when they turned from God. The Reclaiming is a second chance, graciously offered out of God's love for us. We are punished for our transgressions, but it does not mean we are forever denied His love if we seek it.

There's nothing like the self-righteous bullshit of the mouthy angst ridden Minmatar, is there?

Ah well, don't despair all of you who've tried having a civil conversation with Anabella. Considering how often she jump at the chance to jump down anyone's throat, she'll be on to the next thread frothing at the mouth shortly.

See what I did there?
