Intergalactic Summit

Agreed with many of the above.

While I can commend your enterprising nature, the sums here represent a pleasant windfall for an individual pilot, not the mountains of loot required to significantly harm a corporation's operation.

You know who else has goats ?

Leopold Caine.

Transparent as a pane of glass. Stillwater is behind this.

For Sure.

The real crime is that the rigs were chipped out of my former Navy boats.

The humanity...

I do?
I've heard some wild rumours regarding my living-and-breathing property, but I assure you; the pleasure gardens aboard the Ivory Tower don't have petting zoos.




Sadly no. Whilst it's good to see some proper darwinism at work, I have to say Stillwater Corporation is not in any way related or associated with this heist.

To whomever performed the heist, kudos. Well played sir, golfclap and all that. It's a pity your neocom issues didn't provide with a better loot turn-out, but... it's the thought that matters, after all.

Pardon, pilots. I seem to not be entirely awake yet. I, uh.

*The image flickers into view. A young man smiling brightly, followed by a camera drone walking through a sparsely decorated room.*

Good morning New Eden, and a heartfelt welcome from the Alexylva Paradox Corporate tower.

So... we have been had. Indeed the above mentioned statements from the fresh Amarrian pilot are true to a point.

Our security logs show the removal of several ships, modules, skill books and blueprints from the unsecured corporate hangers. We, as a corporation greatly value transparency, and we inspire a great amount of trust in our members. So while security teams are currently still investigating these logs I can share with you that the damage done in amount of ISK is currently at 2 Billion ISK.

The damage done, as shown by the stills and manifest lists of the hangars shows most of the damage is suffered in the ship department with an estimated 1.5 Billion ISK. The modules as they are average out around 500 Million ISK.

No TCMCs were present within the corporate assets, and thus any claims to have taken any were falsified, designed to make us look bad ideologically.

No narcotics were taken from members personal supplies, the corporation does not possess bulk narcotics.

All personnel are accounted for, everyone is fine and safe, which is the most important thing. Assets can and will be replaced. Our people, our most valued and irreplaceable assets, are all fine and safe.

As it stands all members of Alexylva Paradox who were impacted by this heist will be reimbursed by the corporation. The many need not suffer the wickedness of a few.

*A gentle shrug of the young man's shoulders, and a shake of the head follows.*

So what have we learned?
It will come to no surprise to most of the cluster that we are a new organization, we share a certain ideology that some do not agree with. And that is quite alright. We are all entitled to our opinions.

We will soon celebrate our first anniversary as a corporation. And less than a year ago when all was raised from the ashes the voice of negativity boomed. "You will never live out in a wormhole" "You will not last a month out in space" Like the veritable drill sergeant the cluster rained down hammer blows the paradox.

So we have been shown to be cautious, and for that we are grateful. We have now first hand experienced the fact the very basics of capsuleer training, that we have to be careful whom we trust.

I can not of course share with you changes in internal procedures that will warrant that in the future this won't happen again. I am sure that you, as all member of a corporation and all capsuleers understand that.

Any experience from which we learn makes us stronger. So in fact I think we have to thank you for this, Ichkow San for a lesson learned.

Fly safe people of New Eden, fly free.

*The young man bows politely to the camera, which then switches off*

I believe the standardized capsuleer retort should be 'we didn't want that [insert asset name here] anyway'.
So you've got some extra style points there, at least.

A crude and unpleasant action, regardless of the fact that none were hurt, if I may say so bluntly. Without any grace or high thought.

While theft is unambiguously uncivilized, such events are newsworthy and deserving of an odd sort of half-admiration when they demonstrate great cunning, considerable patience, calcuated deception, or merely have an impressive figure at the end of the day. This, however, has none of those. It is akin to a mugger striking a woman for the money in her pockets, and then publically bragging of his accomplishment.

Pilot Ikiryo has it exactly correct. A small group of bumbling buffoons steals a couple of faction battleships and some modules and then crow about the fact as if they'd broken into the Garoun Investment Bank and gotten away with trillions of isk.

Petty corporate thieves are the lowest form of honorless scum, in my opinion. Real professional thieves at least use some thought and a bit of flair to pull off their (considerably) more profitable heists. What the OP has done is the equivalent of a fast smash and grab job and hardly anything worthy of a breaking news report.

Enjoy your new tags as corp thieves, I guess. I hope the small amount of goods you stole was worth ruining your reputation and never being allowed into another corporation. AlexyIva will hardly feel the loss.

Oh, and if you're really so proud of your accomplishment, then post it in the correct place. Of course, you'd get laughed at by the real big time crooks over there.

That's probably why they posted here.

Of course, expecting there wouldn't be laughter here is naïve at best.
