This information and situation is being given to you in confidence, because like myself, I know you are prone to "follow the rules" *cough - inconspicuous whistle --

Listen, I have good people, good crews that work for me on board and planet side. Yes, many are slaves, however, that is by title only. These PEOPLE, work hard, industrious and loyal. A great many have their own families to care for, children to educate for the future and so on. You get the point.

Under my care and protection I can only provide so much without sending up a red flag to the Holders. Even if I dare give them what they deserve in ISK, which we all know really isn't a lot, someone's little crony would turn me in for funding an uprising in return for scraps of their masters plate.

Here's the short of the long of it. I need to get my hands on a stack of cold hard currency. A continuous supply that can't be traced.

Thanks,

Dom

P.S. Are there other like minds in the Empire, besides us few here?

Monsieur Pneuma,

Surely you understand the Empire has eyes on these forums as well, non?

I would be happy to provide you with a continuous supply of untraceable currency. My fee is 100 million ISK.

Defect to the Republic, you can pay your crews whatever you see fit. No more worrying about if the empire is going to accuse you of treason for it.

I think the republic doesn't look too kindly on staffing your crew with slaves...... might... you know... wanna let them go first. But be sure to let everyone know you harbor slaves! I'm sure you'll get a warm welcome after all...

In other words, just get someone to escort your people out. Also, might want to consider investing in dirt-side and station-side security.

There are far more legal and appropriate ways of providing what your charges need that will last longer than individual paychecks they cannot use in the immediate future. At some point, perhaps, but there is a journey to get there.

Feel free to contact me if you are interested.

as for misters egivand and toov here... i cannot lie; good advice on both counts.

and should such a move come to pass, well, you'll obviously trust only those you know. but do keep the experienced professionals in mind, would you?

i bring that which you fear the most

freedom

no matter what the price

The deal sounds shady and smells with criminality.

"Slaves by title only?"... Well, in the State it is a title, that is outlawed. And if you claim it is just a title, what next?
Call for freedom or something (e)qually disgusting?..

If they don't like it, what are the holders supposed to do about you paying slaves? You are an independent capsuleer, they can't do anything about what happens on your ship aside from destroying it.

criminality! smells minty! perhaps slight overtones of eucalyptus...

oh and nevermind kim. the idea of freed slaves "disgusts" her mostly because of the possible increase in free-market competition.

being a good corp wage-slave herself, im /sure/ its nothing personal...

Slavery, including being slaver or SLAVE in the State is prohibited.
Tribal, your attempt at blaming me in being a slave and thus outlaw criminal in the State is a groundless and stupid lie. If you can't bring proofs to your empty words, better keep your mouth shut.

In my experience criminality smells like unlaundered clothes, drug residue, human waste, drying blood and firearm propellent.

Anyway, there's simply no comparison between a slave and a corporate employee. Every corp employee retains, at the very least, the right to walk out on the job if conditions are unbearable.

Subject to terms and conditions.

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.

I think I understand now.

These primitive tribals SO dislike work, then they see any hard working personnel they believe it is slaves, and peoples can't work like that unless coerced, that people must just burn their lives idly, jumping around fires with shamans waving sticks at them.

These peoples will be just useless to the State, and I feel now so happy and content, that we are fighting against them on the side of the Empire.

If you are going to invest in station-side security you'd do well to buy yourself a company's worth of Genolution clone stocks..... anything less than a cloned soldier would be poor security indeed.

We beat the Caldari people into space by several thousand years.

We overthrew the most powerful military empire in the world with rocks and sticks to reclaim our home after 700 years of occupation.

We then frontally assaulted the Mandate to reclaim the lost tribe - and succeeded.

How's retaking CP going for you folks?
