Intergalactic Summit

I could say something about those of you who squat in wormholes except that I'm FAR too wise to toss around general insults for fear that they might land on someone I didn't anticipate and wouldn't be willing to insult.

I was really expecting this thread to be about Diana Kim.

I leave disappointed.

I don't think someone whose contributions to the State consist solely of self-effacing, mewling commentary like a spineless dog has any place to question either patriotism or honour. The Protectorate is a laughingstock because aside from a few exceptions it consists mostly of worthless profiteers or those who cannot live up to the standards of combat proficiency with aggression, boldness and audacity because they're risk averse mediocrities lacking in both talent and ability.

Perhaps your life is meaningless and unworthy, fit only to be a laughingstock, but at least don't judge those who do in fact pull their weight by the standards of your own life and contributions that appear to me at least, as worthless as the contents of your thoughts.

Posturing and name calling in front of not only neutral parties, but also our enemy, helps no one. Especially not the reputation of those of us who are busy on the front line. Those of us who have neither the time nor the inclination to clog intergalactic coms with pointless accusations and defamation of character.

Far be it from a lowly intelligence officer to dictate to either of you how you should spend your time, but perhaps both of your efforts would be better spent on serving the interests of the people of the State instead of bickering shamelessly where everyone can see it.

I think the fact you think Veikitamo needs your defending shows how little you know of her or her mindset.

I can give you a few pointers, Pieter.

Despite your "wisdom" I fear it's maybe a bit too late for that.

"Squat" in wormholes? Only time I ever squat is when I'm taking a ****, Tuulinen. I live in a wormhole system and I'm a former Caldari Militia combat pilot too. My home system is one we fought and bled to take and hold ever since, not to mention investing significant amounts of money while doing so. Today we maintain complete control of said system alongside a coalition of almost half-dozen allied corporations. Sure, it may not be listed as 'our' system on the datamaps, but that is due simply to technological restrictions with territorial claim devices outside of known space. Nothing more. Nothing less. If it was a simple matter of forming an alliance and anchoring a module then you can be assured it would have been done years ago.

This does not make us squatters, but if you believe it still does then I invite you and all your friends to come and try evicting us sometime and we'll see just how that works out for you.

Now that's just one system sir, it's not counting our second system, one in which we've lived for three long, blood-stained, hard-working years. In fact I was killing, dying and fighting off actual squatters in deep space while you were still attending basic training, learning how to iron your uniform and polish your boots.

Now don't get me wrong sir, I have no idea who this Naraish Adam person is personally, and I certainly know of you as a respectable and competent combat pilot, but please try to save the generalizations for the Gallente. There are many current and former State military pilots who call deep space home.

Aye, I'm one of them. And the Syndicate still holds territory there. A little enclave of Caldari power, clustered away in the dark heart of space. Home away from home.

I think Graelyn summed this terrible individual up a while ago. But do prattle on, jaiiji, we're so very glad that you keep the standards in this cesspool that is the STPRO itself up.

Too many wh ore from the teat of the State, Too few patriots remain.

It matters not. Profiteers will come and go. Loosely governed corporations seeking to expand their influence by enticing further employees and associates to their ranks before their eventual and futile delve into the uncharted and dangerous regions are of little interest either.

The State will always be here, As my dear friend remarked, the Syndicate will always be here and so gentlemen, so will I.

Side note; to the honorable gentlemen, I find the very suggestion that Diana Kim is a traitor offensive. I would ask that you deter your slanderous filth to one more deserving.
