Intergalactic Summit

Again, I stress, that they have all acted with integrity in our employment.

Normally I'm content to let people I don't like simply wade about in their own ignorance. But given the subject I am going to throw you a bone here.

Nation's leadership is a collection and merging of infomorphs who have unified into a more single entity. Like limbs with sentience they originally had an option to work on selfish or greedy paths. But a leg can only move so far before it requires eyes to see, hands to grasp, and so on. The mitochondria in your body is a nonsentient and primordial example of this process from countless years ago. Governments do this too. From tribes of dozens, to settlements of hundreds, to cities of thousands. States, countries, worlds, empires. Man has always sought to unite, sometimes by force sometimes by peace, because unifying a people is always preferable to division when your future is at risk. Nation is the infomorph continuation of this idea. Continuing reverence to Master Kuvakei is twofold. One part to honor the man who started it, one part to honor the current entity of Nation.

Master Kuvakei is dead.

Let me say that again. The man who founded Nation is dead. But before he died, like Capsuleers his infomorph was recorded. Unlike Capsuleers who maintain a relatively insular mind, his was connected to Nation's. And when he died, Nation granted him Rebirth. But he is not the same. Instead of the man who founded Nation, if there is anything wearing his face it is most likely more an amalgamation of the will of the True Citizens of Nation than anything else. To claim his singular will is controlling Nation is to misunderstand what we say by the word Unity.

As far as progress made in Incursions, I'll be one of the first to admit it is far from an efficient war. Instead it is a war of attrition. Nation's industrial power will not be exhausted by the losses Capsuleers inflict. So any loss Capsuleers sustain is a victory of sorts. If Nation ever slows on their ship production due to losses, then maybe I will admit the war is a loss. Till then, remember always that the empires started this war.

Ms. Polevhia, even if trusted you, personally, to a very high degree, I still wouldn't be able to trust what might or might not have been planted in your skull at some point. Without a more perfect understanding of Nation implant technology, there's no way of knowing what might be there or when it might be activate.

Hm....

We've had this conversation before, haven't we? Like, a lot. I know that riposte without even having to think about it.

... well, that's a sort of cute rhetorical maneuver. Only, it's more like knowing the steps in a dance or the appropriate counter in a fencing match.

The Caldari and Gallente are pretty predictable in their strike, parry, riposte, dodge routines as well.

I'm not so much returned as freshly reinstalled, from a flawed copy, onto an unsuspecting set of hardware.

Beep boop.

So I hear.

Respectfully, I gather it was the same with Omerta, right up until it wasn't.

Also, it's not just you personally I'm concerned for (though that would be a loss).

You lesser folk definitaley need to work on more useful things other than paranoid acts...

I would definitely second that notion.

Also, I owe you an apology Mademoiselle Jenneth...

Your words were not the only ones founded in frustration yesterday. I was quite beside myself yesterday and responded poorly not only to you but to a few others as well. I wish to apologize publicly as my offense was made publicly.

I request your pardon for my transgression as you were clearly not intending to offend and my response was poorly conceived.
