The Ametat and the Avetat will never provide protection to the likes of you, but only destruction.

You sully their Name by your very inclusion of these sacred objects in your foul rituals.


My "foul" rituals reenact the sacrifice of Molok the Deceiver upon the Altar of God. Amash-Akura, he who had Molok the Deceiver sacrificed upon the Altar of God, was also he who wore the Ametat and Avetat. In all likelihood, Amash-Akura wore the Ametat and Avetat the very moment Molok the Deceiver was sacrificed upon the Altar of God. Perhaps he bludgeoned Molok to death with the Ametat himself.

And so the Ametat and Avetat, the symbols of your corporation, Lunarisse Aspenstar, are also symbols of human sacrifice, the ancient and glorious rite that a wayward and liberal Empire has lost and which I make my life's work to Reclaim. Everywhere you take your corporation name, you proclaim human sacrifice to a wayward and liberal world. Amen. Amarr Victor.

"P.S.: Bwahahahaha!"


Actually, this bit suggests the way confirmation bias works in Nauplius' worldview. He takes the association in the Amarrian faith of two symbols with someone he believes engaged in human sacrifice, and, based on that, declares those symbols sacrificial, themselves.

Even taking Nauplius at his word, he's taking mere possibility as all the proof he needs. "X could be true. X being true would support my worldview. Therefore, X must be true!"

It wouldn't be surprising if he learned that he's "Chosen beyond Chosen" in a similar way.

Actually, it wouldn't be surprising if he learned almost everything he believes that way.

I sincerely hope that you, and others recognize the great divide between what Nauplius is, and what the Sani are. He is nothing but a radical, and vocal Blood Raider who taints himself with impurities.

On that note, I would be happy to lend my assistance to any wishing to actually strike at his assets.

Respectfully, Ms. Bloodstone, I do get that Nauplius stands alone.

Well, mostly alone. It looks like Ms. Funk has attached herself to his jacket and taken on its hue and pattern, which seems to be her habit.

Maybe she'll rob him?

Shh, don't give it away.

Summoning demons? Really Mister Nauplius? I didn't know you were a Warlock! That kinda explains a lot actually, now that I think about it... It is the logical step up from blood rituals afterall.

I'm more of a Necromancer myself! Cybermancer? Mechromancer? It's somemancy with deadspace drones and stuff.

Anyways, stop being mean. Stop! Please?

I think it's going to be a really fun day when old Naup realizes his GF is a Matari.

I have already begun studying the art of necromancy, but this art is even more occulted than that of demonology. I would appreciate any teachings you have on the matter. Surely, with so many slaves and so much spiritual power at my disposal, I have the potential to be an elite necromancer.

No no no, I can't do this, I give up, I yield!

I can't report on this & keep a straight face. Writing the prologue to this already had me grasping at straws to keep it somewhat coherent. Let alone keeping it 'informative'.

I can't write about (pretend) demon summoning & an army of capsuleers being dispatched to deal with it, I just can't. It reeks more of a gallente camp movie then something that's actually happening. If I would go on, I'm pretty sure my audience would think I've gone off into the deep end since my return... Demon Summoning! By the winds! If you think it can't get more strange, someone pops up & proves you wrong!

So I field this one to the Gutter Press to publish about this, at least they got the right level of camp to deal with this.

Oh joy, and necromancy in the future, if it wasn't for all those poor slaves facing a horrible fate because of your delusions, it would be funny....

So, I wish those who want to remove this Tower success & may they rescue the victims held by this madman. If possible, I would enjoy assisting in this operation.

There is about as much spiritual power and potential in you at the moment Nauplius, as there is in my right arm.

Clearly, drinking the blood of Vherokior did not grant you even a droplet of a Shaman's wisdom as you claimed. How disappointing, also how predictable.

You should try the more traditional approach of thinking about things over extended periods of time. Consumption of herbal extracts advised. You may just discover what you need to summon an eldritch entity, or raise dead. Make history as the first to discover it.

If you undertake this challenge (and maybe even ask nicely), I can, perhaps, guide you to those that will help.

To be fair, that's still going to be better than Caldari Vice Nights.

Maybe you should option it? I know some people, we can work on a script...

Call it... 'Bloodspace: The Summoning', maybe go for a full franchise...

I don't think any of these are real.

Well, I think so at any rate. I do talk to my Breacher and my machines.

Now, before you say anything else, they always reply in the form of sudden signal spikes and subtle peaks in sensor readings that read exactly like morse codes...

My Breacher's beating the snot out of me in Murky Conscience 2 PVP. No idea where she got the idea to make a build which can fast-dodge despite the use of Titanflesh. I can't get into the pod and then connect to her systems without getting a signal that amounts to 'Git Gud, Casul'.

Hey, our movies actually try for a plot! This just has a repetitive script.....

It's like one of those reruns of old early morning cartoons we used to get back in Skarkon.

The one where the evil True Amarr villain comes up with a plot to enslave the Minmatar race and four Minmatar teenagers, a Brutor, a Sebiestor, a Krusual and a Vherokhior will use their unique talents and come up with an ingenious way to defeat him.

This is a weekly thing.

Yes, it's biased. And yes, it's a very old rerun, from decades before the Elder War.

I loved that show as a kid.... When I got older, I realized that none of solutions were practial. Still didn't stop me from trying to replicate the one where they strapped an 100mn afterburner to a civilian ground vehicle.
