Rescue Report:

116.02.11 01:09 (name withheld) (blue) 50 rescued

This death can was abandoned (blue). These rescues are less tense in that we do not have to escape quickly. I am back on board the Assist until the new ship undergoes some more fitting. DSTON Development has instructed us to consolidate our Center management around regional clusters. Manwe will administrate the centers in the Zoohen to Diaderi patrol area. Ston will manage the Centers around the Niarja/Kaap corridor and Khanid Kingdom. I will be managing the Republic and Mandate centers. We will be doing jurisdiction transfers as time allows until the consolidation is complete. Part of this restructuring is to simplify answering inquiries regarding accountability for our operations.

People change. Maybe he committed something he considers a grave sin, and is trying to work himself back into his God's favor via taking slaves. Or maybe he's just gone crazy in a sadistic sort of way from being in space to long. We may never know.

Glory to me. Amen. Claudia Victor.

It's all idle speculation on my part, I make no attempts to truly understand why Nauppie is the way he is. Besides, it would make the cluster that much duller if he wasn't himself.

Key Points:

• I sell slaves not to Empyreans but to those most qualified to adjudicate edge cases of ownership and manumission — the Amarr Civil Service, which maintains standing buy orders for slaves throughout Amarr space.
• Attempted execution of slaves by jettisoning them into space is not a legal instrument of manumission. That would require papers, lawyers, witnesses, and so forth. The slaves thus retain the status of slaves.
• Were it not for the existence of the Disciples of Ston, I would not interfere with those who choose to execute slaves by jettisoning them into space. Such slaves would go and meet God and face the Judgement, where they would have their fair chance. Since the Disciples of Ston do exist, however, I am obligated to intervene — for all slaves ripped from the bosom of holy Amarr and taught the blasphemies of liberal religion and freedom will be denied entry into Paradise and will glorify God in their destruction.
• The "Amarr Bloc" when it existed as such always considered CONCORD rules and such orthogonal to Amarrianness. A pilot, therefore, could have poor security status or this or that "flag" without being considered a criminal in the eyes of other Amarr loyalist pilots.

This rescue was made while returning from business in the Mandate and Republic together with Dr. Nalthkh. I was there to complete transfer documents handing administrative duties over to him for all our Centers in the Republic and the Mandate. Dr. Nalthkh is our most gifted administrator, so he will have charge of our largest centers that reside in this areas. The exception is Egbinger. We have a very small center there that is independent and wants to be left that way. They are an interesting group consisting of a small band of former slaves, castaway militants, one scientist and a former corporate VIP. They are happy the way they are and have asked to be left alone. Alone, they will be left.

Woe to her who sets bounties upon holy and righteous servants of God! For on the Day of Days, the Day of Wrath, such bounties must be repaid with interest! And a just God will charge an usurious interest rate indeed!

• Perhaps you misunderstand the mechanics of jetcan re-enslavement. Substantially all recovered slaves are found on the Amarr side of border systems like Jark. The above listed 120 Slaves were found in Niarja (they were chained, collared, stuffed full of Vitoc, and were or will be sold back into slavery at Akhragan V, Amarr Civil Service). I am, therefore, not "guilty" of "trafficking" slaves through the space the non-Amarr subhumans believe to be their own (the Empress in her wisdom has indulged the latter belief, for now), as I am taking slaves from the Amarr side of a border to a slave market deeper in Amarr space.
• Partly in response to concerns over "theft" I have been contacting the Empyreans who jettison slaves into space, letting them know of the danger the jetcan execution method poses to the souls of the jettisoned slaves (who might be recovered by DSTON). None have ever objected to the re-enslavement of the slaves I recovered. Keep in mind that we Empyreans are licensed Privateers; we are not breaking Amarrian law by removing cargo from a jetcan that does not belong to us; we only become suspects in the eyes of CONCORD by so doing.
• The Disciples of Ston/Molok are different in kind from previous rescue organizations like the Space Nuns. DSTON is explicitly anti-slavery and "frees" the people it "rescues" from slavery. They have, for example, brought an unholy artifact, the Khumaak, to one of their centers so the Minmatar subhumans there could reverence it. That is not something that I recall the Space Nuns ever doing, and so unlike others, the Disciples of Ston fasttrack their victims straight to Damnation and must be opposed.

Rescue Report:

116.02.12 16:06 Chioru Pazvante 38 rescued, Ston Momaki > 116.02.12 16:05 Shalimar Dante 58 people
116.02.12 16:24 Confiscation: 13.3 million including 18 tech two battle drones, 5300 rounds of Medium factional and tech 2 projectile rounds.

I was on my way back to Kaaputenen from Mandate space just in my pod and passing through Niarja, I noted 3 cans, two being deathcans and one containing weapons and ammo. Ston was in pod so I contacted him, boarded the DSS Plowshare in Kaap and we headed to the scene. Teaming up on these kinds of situations is a good way to go. I am reporting both the deathcan rescues as indicated. While Ston tended to the new arrivals back in Kaap, I headed back out with the Plowshare and we accomplished our first major arms confiscation as also reported above. These weapons will never again be used. Never again will lives be taken with these instruments nor destruction caused by their use.

There is a considerable amount of Re-Enslavement News:

• As I have reported earlier, I send letters to pilots who jettison slaves into space warning them of the danger to their slaves' souls as long as the Disciples of Ston/Molok prowl the spacelanes. One pilot took it upon himself to publish one of these letters in a prominent forum for Empyreans. The word is getting out — execute your slaves if you must, but for the sake of their souls, shoot the slaves after jettisoning them.
• The Disciples of Ston/Molok are monitoring my activity closely. The 40 person re-enslavement listed above was actually part of a 50 person jetcan; however, Calyce Io only had room in her Magnate for 40 — she scooped them while a Stonite agent observed from a distance; he later took the rest. Therefore, in anticipation of future partial re-enslavements; I am instituting Re-Enslavement Triage. Nubile females will receive top re-enslavement priority, in anticipation of their use as breeder slaves. Sebiestor engineers and Brutor of even larger than normal build get next priority. If necessary, children and the elderly will be left behind for the Disciples of Ston/Molok, and they will glorify God in their destruction.
• It is well that the Disciples of Ston/Molok are trying to re institute coverage of Jark. That 10 person re-enslavement listed above came from there; those 10 were chained, collared, stuffed full of Vitoc, and will be sold back into slavery.
• There is evidence that Empyreans who oppose me may be placing buy orders for slaves in my usual selling location in order to intercept my attempted re-enslavements. I do not believe they have been successful yet; however, I shall remain vigilant.

Amen. Amarr Victor.

Unsurprising.
