You should totally recruit her! I'd love to fly alongside Ava - I don't understand PIEs reluctance.

For the first time since I started the conversation, he looks me dead in the eye. In his gaze are steel jackhammers, quiet vengeance, a hundred thousand orbital bombs frozen in still life.

Hire, and then whip red for disobedience and dishonor.
That would be just awesome.

I'm not too sure you'd appreciate Amarrian festivities. Too much swilling of brandy, pats on backs, and discussion about how we are the masters of the universe.

However last I remember of a post Campaign event two of the Classiarii did end up singing rather grating renditions of the Amarrian Classics.

An empire built on false prophets that teach nothing but poison to humanity.
An empire founded on the enslavement of my people.
New eden has been blinded it is clear to see, but we will once again make them see.

Death to Amarr
Long live the tribes, long live the matari people!

Your mistake is in thinking we don't see. We do.

But what are we supposed to do? Avoid allying with the only power in Eden large enough to match the Gallente?

You choose the lesser of two evils, usually.

Is that what you feel you've done?

Between being allied with the Amarr and facing the kriffing Federation and Republic combined on our own? Yup.

Insolent child!
The Amarr Empire was founded tens of thousands of years ago, on strong traditions of faith and service. Traditions that we uphold today. Your people have done so little to note, and haven't even been capable of stabilising your own tribes into anything resembling civilized society.
Your people know nothing of what it takes to build an Empire, not to mention to have that empire stand the test of thousands of years and STILL stand firm together as one, united in His love. You should be so lucky.

We are truly blessed to have been given His grace and His love, but it is up to us to embrace it and continue spreading His word throughout New Eden, that the darkness may one day subside and all are basked in His glory.

Mister (Lord?) Ascentior,

I apologize, but I am afraid I feel compelled to correct you - The Empire is not tens of thousands of years old. It is 6882 years old.

Additionally, one could make it the subject of considerable debate as to if it still stands together "as one", as it has schismed on at least 3 separate occasions. (Takmahl, Khanid, Republic).

I am no lord. So 'Admiral Ascentior Hon. FG', Admiral, Sir, or Mister are all welcomed forms of address.

Your compulsion aside, when discussing foundations of the Empire, ignoring the prophet Gheinok would be near heretical. The Empire was one under God long before it was one under an Emperor. And while the FORM of the Empire changed much in that time, that the Empire was founded upon those principals, 15000 years ago, is unquestionable.

There can also be no debate that The Amarr Empire stands as one, united by God. That there has been trials of our unity and faith is not a basis for claims that we do not now, stand as one under the rule of our Divine Empress.
The loss of our wayward children, the annexed Matari people, is a sign that our work in reclaiming them is long from complete, nothing more.

Tuulinen-haan, this gallentean is trying to manipulate you, practically claiming that the Empire is evil, and forcing you to agree with that.
I believe way more proper answer would be to say him, that we are choosing the most honorable of three Empires to ally with, and emphasize, that there is absolutely no evil in doing so.

Honored are the dead, for their legacy guides us.

The Empire is not us, Diana, therefore it is not ideal that we be allied with them. Moreover, as their ultimate aim, they have the objective of changing us and adding our distinctiveness to their own. This is the same objective that we abhor so much in our Gallente cousins.

The State does not ask anyone to adopt our ways. We certainly do not demand it and would not compel it by force. We simply ask that, if you wish to live among us, you accept that you must do so as one of us.

In addition it is not accurate to say that we chose the most compatible partner amongst the other three empires to be our allies. The Gallente were our implacable foes - we could not choose them, even if we wished to. The Republic, on the other hand, was virtually a client state of the Federation at that time - although they have taken strides since.

Our marriage with the Empire is one of convenience. We do not share all the same values. That said, I have greatly enjoyed working with the pilots of Shalee Lianne's Imperial Outlaws alliance. There are definitely kindred spirits to be found amongst the faithful.

I trust that this better explains my meaning to both friend and foe.
