Intergalactic Summit

Over the years I have participated in many archeological expeditions whereby I came across scant findings of what I think is an ancient security or law enforcement system. This system is very powerful and dangerous and I have been looking for it for some years now.




The name of this system might have been known as the "Santa Clause" but it's spelled "claus" which may be an ancient form of spelling, as is the case with the adoption or removal of the silent "e" in wording. It's very likely that a "clause" was an interchangeable word use for a law or decree, or as an attachment to a law or decree, and this word "santa", which I find no equal in any language except Amarrian in which the word remotely implies "saint", thus lending to the possibility that this system was Amarr in origin.

But that is a diversion because the digs where evidence of this system turn up, usually in the extraneous materials of ancient terran relic sites (the stuff that does not matter usually) suggests that this system predates even the ancient Amarr empires in recorded history. Much of what I find is what's left on the floor after the scanners and salvagers have pretty much had their way with getting the items we desire for the usual purposes. A forgotten footlocker of a station technician, the so-called "glove box" of a shuttle (supposedly this was for gloves but I never saw any remnants of gloves in them) for example, and even in the form of some odd plastic figurine or card found in far corners of workspaces or offices, piled up after the drones are done with the place, and discarded. Putting all of this together, from personal correspondence of people long dead to periodicals, I have come to the conclusions that I write about now. And with the latter, these periodicals (catalogs, magazines, and such) the date structure and the content implies that this is the time of the calendar where this high powered security system is in full operation.

The power of this system is significant. It had the ability to know if people were being good or not. It also could tell if people were sleeping. How any system could monitor its charges being in a sleep state, in masses, is interesting. Could all of the subjects of this system be forced to wear some monitoring device? My viewpoint being that of a citizen of the Federation makes me somewhat biased against even being able to fathom the notion of a security or enforcement system that knows if you are a good person or not. You see in the Federation, any enforcement or enactment of such a policy would fall quickly to the question of how "good" or "bad" the people are who decide who (or what) is good or bad. The Amarr dismiss this as moral relativism, a viewpoint any logical man can understand. But we know that the power to punish or tax is a power that can destroy so we don't take it lightly in the Federation.

Based on what I have found so far, I have pieced together an operational description of this system.



I am both terrified and curious in a system that would even be concerned with crying and pouting. Certainly this system carried a behavioral code! This had to be horrible. What if you had a good reason to cry? And pouting? Children do that all of the time. Was this a system that targeted children? What horror was this?
Not that "coming to town" line. In normal discourse we say "go to town" as a means of letting go. Like to say to someone who wants to vistit every brothel in a pleasure hub we would say "he really went to town on that pleasure hub". A system that goes to town on a behavioral code enforcement? Was this a blank check for harsh enforcement?
The second passage sounds more like a threat, as if you are being watched very closely. I need not say more. The last part repeats the first part, emphasizing the threat. Yes, this system is really going to "go to town" on you if you cry or pout, and it knows if you are in a REM state.

Perhaps it attacks you when you sleep?

What's even more confusing is that other related material found in periodicals and literature that date-stampted to this time of the year implies a festive or party time of year. This is a real mind twister. How can this time of the year, when an all-knowing behavior-enforcing security or enforcement system attacks you in your sleep, be "festive" and correlated with parties and getting together with friends and family?

Or mayby I'm missing something in interpretation and people got together to defend themselves against this system or some tyrannical form of government that used it? Of this, I'm still not sure.

Therefore I'm hoping that if any remnants of this system go operational, even after all these years, those of you who happen across them will please notify me as soon as possible. If this system is merely dormant and capable of the same full operation it apparently once had, it will bode ill for everybody in New Eden and make these drifters look like SoE nuns with good habits. So help me in finding any clues so that we can avert any further horrors from this system.

Thank you all in advance.
