Intergalactic Summit

Tukoss losing citizenship at this point has only symbolic meaning.

It's important to weigh Mr. Tukoss' value with the fact that he may have been compromised by the enemy. His long absence and presumed captivity by the Sleepers are indications that he may no longer be who he says (or even thinks) he is. If/when he resurfaces I would advise extreme caution in interacting with him.

That's my point, we need to get him to a safe location, then assertain what's gone on these past years.

As far as I'm aware Mr. Tukoss is a capsuleer under CONCORD, if so then he can just claim the same extralegal and extraterritorial rights any CONCORD registered capsuleer can claim when operating in the areas of CONCORD signatories which makes the revoking of his Ishukone corporate citizenship a symbolic gesture unless Mr. Tukoss decides legal rights in the Caldari State is of importance.

Although corporate citizenship can always be such an odd thing, speaking from personal experience. Kaalakiota revoked my own corporate citizenship last year under allegations of treason. I then claimed political asylum in the Federation and was granted citizenship and transferred it to a Caldari Prime district under Freedom of Immigration clauses. Then all of a sudden Kaalakiota corporate courts retract all charges, re-instate my corporate citizenship, grant my request for official retirement and I'm finally able to claim my CFU pension fund. I suppose I should be glad that such misunderstandings occurred, it at least has meant I am now afforded certain legal rights irrespective of whether I am in a Federal or Ishukone district when I am on the soil of Home.

Of course in the case of Mr. Tukoss his citizenship, I assume was, revoked on the grounds that he's potentially not the actual person registered with House of Records and listed on Ishukone files.

Something indeed is going on.

Dr. Tukoss may possibly carry information and technology that is vital to all of humanity, as i've said before.
We can't let petty corporations and corporate squabbles get in the way of our continued future.

We must remember that he has been apprehended, thus it would be appropriate to consider him compromised but revoking citizenship...

EDIT: My inability to read has failed me once more, I just noticed now that someone already mentioned that he has been captured. But, it still never hurts to remind you.

True. Except that his capsuleer status might have been quietly revoked.

If they're afraid that he's been ... well, somethinged, by the Sleepers or some other, unknown power, I can't imagine they'd want him to have access to capsuleer resources.

At a guess, they're probably not planning to kill him. That would be a waste; I agree with Dr. Borkstar that far. It would be more practical for them to be preparing the legal framework for his detention.

This has the potential to be a problem on a different order from the likes of Nauplius, so if they can do it, I suspect they'd do it now.

Just because they generally don't doesn't mean that they can't.

Nah, just shoot him and examine the corpse - Trust me, I have experience with weird brain strangeness.

You ACT as a government?

MY eyes...

Chances are that the State like many others, simply believed Tukoss to be dead, and now with some evidence to the contrary they are doing that which I'm sure they wanted to do ever since he defected. Probably the only reason it didn't happen was because it was a rather minor event given everything else that was happening in the State during that time.

Does it change anything? Not sure that it does. There is a chance he is still alive and a chance he might escape from whoever or whatever has been holding him captive. And if and when he does I'm sure we'll find out more, assuming he lives that long.

I do find it interesting that Eifyr & Co say they have heard nothing from him since his disappearance. About a year after his disappearance I reached out, in a futile bid to find out something, to the Minmatar Republic representative Abja Etbald. As expected she couldn't discuss it, although she did assure me he was well. When I pushed further she simply responded by saying that he wasn't missing and that was that.

So either they were lying, which doesn't strike me as unlikely although I don't really see why it would be necesarry to claim he was fine, or the Minmatar Republic, like many of the Empires, has been keeping secrets and know more about what is going on, what Tukoss was doing and possibly how he could have gotten captured in the first place.
