Intergalactic Summit

Your grasp on Hoje's words is failing, and it is clearly showing that you are a petty opportunist sir.

You are no alumnus, you are a fraud.

Reactionaries, vigilantes, and paranoids?

I know the Kingdom can do better than this.

Not from the Khanid specifically. We are better.

But reactionaries, vigilantes and paranoids? Yep.

People want to know why and there are a lot of arrows pointing towards the SoCT. Things like this happen and witch hunts are a usual consequence.

What arrows? Drifter activity has been mainly focused on Amarr space, and more specifically on the Empress' own activities and interests, since long before the incident with Mentor Raish.

As I've said before, they are acting like they smell something rotten in Amarr; their other activities in the cluster seem innocuous in comparison and appear to just be trying to discern the extent of contamination. The Society is not blind to this and likely simply sought to discover for themselves the source of the Drifter interest in Jamyl. There's zero actual evidence for collusion.

As Alumni to the Society, we are just that: graduated students.

We are not privy to any more information than the rest of the cluster, no matter how much we may wish to learn more. Our only option is to look for ourselves and devote our minds to uncovering these secrets on our own.

At this point, unless the Empress is recovering "miraculously" as she did from her trials, there are no further opportunities to scan her as Mentor Raish had done. Without covertly stealing her body for research or attempting to hack the Society's databases (you know you tried when you were a student and recall how that went) then the only avenue left is to ask the source, politely, if they are willing to share that information.

As for Lyn Farel's curious attacks on my person, she is obviously distraught over the death of her Empress and is not considering the accuracy of her words at all. Some people may disagree with Hoje's perspective despite their training with the Society. When I was last there, it was not frowned upon to pursue threads of truth even if they are not in agreement with the conclusions of Hoje. But perhaps that has changed since I left.

Let us only hope the search never ends, that the Absolute Truth stays hidden forever. For if the search ends, we end.
Then we become nothing more than dust, specks of sand on the shore of universal lie.
And maybe, just maybe, this has already happened.

Has your search already ended? I still pursue. Why do you try to dissuade me? Do you fear that your Empress may not be all that is said of her and thus hope she remains one of those mysteries? There is more to her, I am sure of it, but apart from circumstantial evidence, I cannot expressly claim more than there is. Have your Amarrian traditions overridden your most basic curiosity?

Uh... look...

I am not used to call down people like that and while I may have... disagreement and a bit of a shock reading you... I do not see it worth continuing that mudslinging.

I apologize for having brought up the subject sir.

I still feel ashamed reading my own words.

I wish you the best of luck in your endeavors.

I am not entirely sure when an opportunity to scan the Empress would otherwise come up apart from a scheduled public event. Given her reclusive nature, it seemed the only opportunity to do so. Whether or not that information was used by the drifters is debatable. You need factual evidence to support such a claim than coincidence.

Why did it take so long for Empress to deal with the "threat" of being scanned?
Once the information was obtained, what gain was there in destroying Mentor Raish? The information was likely transmitted in anticipation of destruction. If the information was not transmitted prior to the destruction, then it would be impossible for the Drifters to have used it against Empress Jamyl. Even if the information was transmitted, there is no evidence to link the latter Drifter attack to the actions of Mentor Raish.

The Society may be as curious about the Empress as myself - especially given the intense interest of the Drifters and their concentration in Amarr space.

Given Amarrian politics and the number of influential Amarrians who were educated by the Society, it is unlikely that the Society would ever be evicted from Amarr space.
