Intergalactic Summit

Does anyone NEED one? I want a few. It's sometimes nice to get out of the black and red and hang the jackboots up, you know?

I'd appreciate a few reccomendations. It's better than getting fleeced on the boulevard.

Well, obviously you'll want stations you can actually dock at in systems where the local law enforcement won't shoot you on sight, so you might want to try DeVallan and Serrice on the Agoze V - FedMart Retail Center station (they aren't a FedMart-owned operation, by the way, they just own a shopfront on a FedMart station, if shopping at FedMart offends you). They make an incredible variety of clothing for discerning individuals of both genders - I personally have a bespoke cold-weather longcoat made by the titular DeVallan himself (Serrice is more a trousers and dresses sort of fellow). Prices are steep in baseliner currency but if you're paying in ISK you'll barely notice. They don't just do formal attire, either - heck, they'll do customised hooded sweatshirts if you feel like going casual once in a while.

Just so you know, they can do fitting via laser body scan but they prefer to have you in the shop for measurements - call them old fashioned if you want, but I think it gives their work a personal touch.

So, where then, does your Amarr allies fall? Are you still superior, or do you stand as equals? And how do they feel in return, given that their holy cause, so to speak, is to 'Reclaim' New Eden's wayward peoples, which would erstwhile include your own?

Andreus has you covered on the tailoring front.

Now if its a good barber, and old school barber, that you look for, i'd recommend Keva's Saloon on Intaki V, its a little out of the way in the city, but he does excellent work and gives you the full nine yards, as well.

Right around the corner from him is another place that makes a curry so hot that you can use it for reactor fuel (the really hot stuff is at your option, make sure your clone is up to date just in case it is too spicy, trust me.) They also do kabobs, and make a mean Chai tea. Its listed on the planetary directory of businesses and locations.

I don't mind the personal touch - if the result warrants it. Sounds like this DeVallan chap doesn't disappoint.

Think I'll go spend some isk down there.

Count me in sometime, kirjuun!

Poor gallentean kid. Go learn biology.


Poor gallentean kid. Freedom and liberty are destructive forces, that stagnate worlds, rot souls and turn humans into animals. Freedom and liberty are opposite to order. And opposite of order is chaos.
Go learn logic.


Poor gallentean kid. Go wipe foam from your mouth.


Poor gallentean kid. Many have tried. Do you want to try it yourself? It would be, satisfying, since I will push you where you belong. Go face me and learn humility.


Poor gallentean kid. I don't know everything in this world and I admit it. I seek knowledge.
And you... just talk around things you can't understand and throw words you can't define yourself.
Go learn a language.

Wait, hold on, Verin.

"Stitcher."

Did you get that nickname because your squadmates in Ishukone Watch found out about your vocational profiling?

Both. I was squad medic, like Pieter says, and I, uh... earned the nickname by performing an old-fashioned needle-and-thread suture one time rather than waste a phial of expensive nanosuture paste. And, yes, I made the mistake of mentioning my vocational profiling while I did it.

I believe the exact exchange was:
"You sure you know what you're doing, Hakatain?"
"Yeah, my VP number one result was tailoring. Quit wriggling."

Then I filled it in on the "callsign" part of my Pilot's License form without knowing that you're by default seen by your callsign.

AHEM?

There's more of us than you'd think. Like, and entire nation of us? Check your map sometime.

Ammatar: Matari by birth, Amarrian by the Grace of God.

And that's not even counting the number of Matari living in the Empire who have come to embrace the Faith. I bet if you really did a census you'd find that over half the Matari in New Eden count themselves amongst the Faithful.




Ok first, Stiitcher, you're a well known advocate of Stitcher Supremacy so don't even go there. It's a good thing you don't believe in religion, otherwise you'd have founded a new one by now and proclaimed yourself God made flesh.

Second, if you want to see this galaxy's biggest bunch of bigots the Republic is right over there. In Shakor's eyes there's only kinds of people in New Eden: The Minmatar, and the people beneath them. And it is totally race based. All about this tribe and that tribe and how "pure" your bloodline is because your family has been marrying their own cousins for the last fifty generations. They actually take pride in that kind of crap.

See here is the difference that you're deliberately ignoring: If a Matari, or anyone for that matter, embraces the Faith then in the eyes of God they're Amarrians. Doesn't matter where they or their parents came from. You know what you call an Intaki who becomes a priest in the Empire? An Amarrian. A Gallente who marries into a Amarrian noble family? Also Amarrian. They Caldari? Heck, they could put their hand on a copy of the Scripture, recite a short speech and have their new citizenship papers before the day is out.

And then there's those other guys ... you know, the racists?

You know what you call someone not of the tribes who swears fealty to the Republic? I'll tell you: A cold body ... stripped naked, clubbed in the back of the head and left behind a sand dune somewhere. It's only a matter of time because that person will forever be an outsider, will forever not be of "pure tribal blood" and therefor in the eyes of Shakor's goons nothing more than an animal to be slaughtered for laughs. And they will laugh when they do it, too.

Don't believe me? Go talk to the grieving families of those Federation dreadnoughts that they so casually nuked out of existence because they had the audacity to make them wait a few more days before beheading someone. People said "This is how they treat their allies?" and I laughed. What allies? Sorry, Gallente, but you're not of the proper bloodlines, and that makes you just as subhuman as the rest of us, didn't you know? Seriously, guys, they took a swing at CONCORD itself and then you act surprised when they go all back-stabby on you next? That's pretty dang naive if you ask me.

And if the shoe was on the other foot? Would the Republic enslave the Amarrians if they had the chance? Of course not! They'd just kill us and eat the raw flesh off our bones at drunken orgy afterward. Yeah, real noble guys over there. But lucky for you, that's not going to happen. And do you know why that's lucky for you?

Because after us they'd come after you. All of you. The State, the Federation, even the nullsec kingdoms. One by one they would "purify" all of New Eden of all the "lesser races" ... if such power was actually within their grasp even for a moment. And the only thing that's stopping them from doing exactly that?

Take a guess.
