Intergalactic Summit

My fellow Empyreans. It is time for an accounting of actions by the DED and several organizations within the Empires. It would appear that there is a large multi-organizational conspiracy to disrupt Empyreans, and in doing so endanger all of known space.

As everyone by now must be aware, the Drifter threat is real, and imminent. What we do not know is how long this threat has been brewing, but due to recent events we can infer some fairly striking results.

Our first clue is Thera itself. SOE were found to be inhabiting once unknown space that was only exposed to us after the shattering that was likely caused by the super-luminal event now known as Caroline Star. While Santimona Sarpati has been 'questioned' in regards to SOE presence in Thera, after almost 3 months, and in spite of increased urgency from the Drifter threat, CONCORD has not made further motions, or released any additional information. Reference 1

Secondly, SOE recently produced three new ships with the assistance of various organizations including Propel Dynamics. While early successes of Propel include the warp drives we use, they have been struggling to live up to expectations in recent years. However, It is clear that the technology used in the Nestor class battleship, Stratios class cruiser, and Astero class frigate is unlike that used on previous ships. Likely SOE has been working with Propel to develop new technology. One of the tell-tale sines is the spatial disturbance inside the ring of the ships drive. This same spatial disturbance has been seen propelling the Drifter battleships.

Thirdly it is clear the DED does not have Empyreans best interest in mind. During Drifter attack on Yulai, it was noted that no CONCORD mobilized to support the Empyrean defense of the their home station. And after the Drifters were repelled, and the signal no longer disrupted, DED failed to continue to broadcast the findings of the Drifter autopsies. It has been over a week and we still have no further information from that meeting. It is almost as if DED was responsible for the disruption of the broadcast, more then the Drifters. Reference 3. I was present at the defense of Yulai and saw no response from DED and in fact witnessed CONCORD retaliated on Empyreans for violations.

Simularly, we recently were contacted by long lost Hilen Tukoss, who has demonstrated a loyalty to Empyreans in the past. In his message he warns of a Drifter threat beyond that which we have previously imagined. Reference 4. The brave members of SCOPE released this information to us in spite of threats from DED. Shortly after this broadcast we were made aware that CONCORD has 'detained both Gaunia Octeyncaere, Production Manager for The Scope and Lina Ambre, Correspondant for The Scope for questioning under Section 6 of the Interstellar Corporate Espionage Act.' Reference 5. It is clear that DED is clearly hiding information, and brings into question why they continue to refuse to elevate the threat levels of the Drifter menace in spite of their collosal destructive powers used against Empyreans.

Finally, SOE, and Propel, along with several other organizations met with CONCORDS Inner Circle to discuss for a short notice "Wormhole Summit" reference 6. While it is once believed that this was to discuss the "new sleeper behavior" reported earlier, in light of new information it is fair to propose that SOE, and Propel knew about the Circadian seekers, and the Drifter technology long ago, and that this summit was a briefing, or discussion of things that they still refuse to let us know about.

We Empyreans can no longer sit idle and allow these entities to endanger our existence, and the very lives of all those that the Drifters threaten. As we know the Amarr worlds are now under direct threat by these Drifters. This is no longer simply an Empyrean problem, this is everyone's problem.

I call upon the Empyreans to rise up and let it be know that this is unacceptable, we must be made aware of the true scope of this new threat. I also call upon the Throne worlds. I know we have had our differences in the past, but this threat is greater then our petty rivalries. Use your authority to force the DED to expose what they know, and expose the true motives of the Sisters of EVE.

The Empires grant CONCORD their authority. And also house several other organizations that seem to be involved in this. If they wish to be upfront, they should side with us and assist in the exposing of the darkness they are hiding.

Although I fight for the Federation, there are questions throughout. It is time for the Empires to prove not only their trustworthiness to Empyreans, but their loyalty to the safety of their citizens.

It is not empires that need to prove their trustworthiness to empyreans, it is the empyreans that need to prove our trustworthiness to the empires. We are not their betters.

CONCORD is not accountable to the empires any longer. CONCORD today acts almost entirely independently, without any notification to or permission from the empires. This has been made clear several times over the last decade.

.

It has become glaringly obvious that not only the Sisters of EVE, but our own law enforcement has become distant from us; we are being denied crucial information on the Vigilant Tyrannos forces - information that could prove essential to future contact with them.

In a time such as this, I cannot lend trust to any of the Empire factions; we are being deliberately kept in the dark. At this time, the only sources I would place confidence in are the faction I was born into, and the Jove Directorate.

Sad, isn't it: how it has become easier to confide in the most secretive groups in the cluster than those we live among.

I hope, for the sake of the cluster, that the Sisters of EVE and the Directive Enforcement Division come to their senses on this urgent matter before it is too late.

Now, if only we had more people like this in the world. I have been saying for WEEKS that CONCORD and the DED cannot be trusted, and were my claims unfounded? No.

They have been hiding things from us, and they've known about these Seekers and Drifters for ages. I call for an immediate vote of no confidence in the DED and the Inner Circle, and propose that emergency action be taken to sort out this mess that we call politics.

The Corporation is mother, the Corporation is father.

As Samira said, it's not the Empires that need to prove themselves to us, it is us that have singularly failed to prove ourselves to the Empires, for the most parts. We are fracted, divisive, greedy and violent. We are starships with psychopathies. We bring death as a reflex. Despite being granted lifespans that place us ahead of the richest Holders, we have all the constancy and loyalty of a biting fish in a bathtub.

The current threat is against Empyreans and the Amarr. Instead of bickering about who should prove themselves to whom, we should be standing together, questioning those who endanger us all.

Yes, let us raise the pitchforks against CONCORD. I am sure the prices of minerals and other goods won't change in any drastic way if CONCORD disappeared tomorrow.


The solution, if there is one, must include CONCORD not exclude it.


And distrusting the Empires? Start a new life in K-space then.
