Intergalactic Summit

Pilots may wish to be aware of CONCORD's recent release.

The idea that DED wishes to lay the man to rest as a matter of respect and dignity is laughable at best. Do they care in the slightest about the thousands, tens or hundreds of thousands of corpses that litter New Eden? Do they routinely offer rites on behalf of the dead? Trying to cast this matter as one of 'respect for the dead' is a crass, callous, and utterly transparent effort to play on public sentiment, and little reason to render four capsuleers outlaws when they had already met the spirit of CONCORD's request.

Were Eifyr & Co. or the relatives of the late Hilen Tukoss to request Tukoss's remains, then this would be another matter entirely.

As it stands, my respect for CONCORD as an institution lessens with each day.

More after I complete some consultations.

Threatening IKAME and our members for things outside our control is most definitely out of line.

A bounty for execution? A bounty? Come on, you fat butts, I will stand next to each of these people and assist them with everything I have. What's the price tag on my head, huh?! Let's go, you, lazy-ass "law enforcers"!

If you people still have dignity and at least a bit of self-respect, you will stand by their side and protect these people.

Lord Raholan should be ashamed of himself.

As well as CONCORD for bullying all the other ones in the process.

You all disgust me.

So in other words, Revenant and Kernher, you are assisting CONCORD in holding persons unfairly implicated in the actions of ONE person hostage?

No one besides Raholan even has samples to turn over to CONCORD, by holding other people hostage, CONCORD has shown themselves to be unjust, and anyone who would similarly strike at not-at-fault persons are similarly unjust.

Were this JUST sanctions against Lucas Raholan, that would be a different matter, but they are threatening a great number of people with very harsh penalties; and rather than striking at your own members and allies, you should be showing solidarity with them.

So CONCORD are laying claim to Hilen Tukoss' remains under Article 8 Section B (2a) I assume as I thought Hilen was effectively stateless after he was kicked out by the Caldari bunch he worked for?

If that is the case why are his remains a matter of security? Yet CONCORD stand by and watch Drifters take capsuleer corpses wherever they can get their grubby little tractor beams on them. I guess it is because the investigation remains open into his death?

Trying to dress this up as respect for his remains whilst placing a bounty on scientists who are trying to understand exactly what happened and why is laughable. No capsuleer sees a corpse as anything more than biomass since that's exactly what it was built from in the first place. We destroyed our true bodies when we became capsuleers! Any clone we use now is a self mobile coptic jar to all intents and purposes.

CONCORD need to think carefully about their actions here. Antagonizing the capsuleer community is really not a good idea. It would be far better to co-operate with and benefit from the expertise being applied to this issue rather than apply punitive measures against those trying to assist them.

You can always sleep on the couch, Scherezad-suuolo. We have little use for Concord, since they meddled in sovereign State affairs and tarnish our security status for simply doing our jobs.

Given the recent release from the DED I would implore all parties involved, right or wrong to release the body to CONCORD. At this time I think it would be best to think of your employee's and crewmen, do not risk anymore lives over this when we can pursue all form of legal appeal after turning over Dr. Tukoss' remains.

Sincerely
K. Amsel

We are cooperating with CONCORD and the DED lawful requests. Capsuleers are in no position to dictate terms to the CONCORD assembly.

Whether or not they are unjust is irrelevant. The only variable that determines PIE's stance is Amarr's stance, and the Court Chamberlain has made Amarr's stance clear. Perhaps some people place value in rioting against authority, but PIE does not. Order demands compliance with lawful authority, regardless of whatever personal reservations one may have with that authority.

House Raholan stands to lose its titles and land and their lord be declared a criminal by Imperial authorities. Should SFRIM continue to stand by Lucas Raholan, they will be demonstrating support for his actions. PIE will not have our own name dragged through the mud as a result of the scandalous activities of our affiliates. They either sever their support of anti-authoritarian activities or it is very likely that we sever our support of them. This should not be surprising.

"But guilt by association!" you will say. Well, yes. One's character is indeed determined by the company they keep.
