Shortly after watching Special Accounts Manager Brinalle’s statement regarding the destruction of the Citadel site in PF-346, The OSS Spokeswoman Summer VonSturm briefed a group of Press in a closed section of the Intaki Bank Station.
“First and foremost, The OSS would like to make it clear that we regret the loss of life during the incident, I would like to point out that OSS rescue crews were instrumental in ensuring survivors made it safely to medical care, and also prevented Serpentis Ships from looting the site.”

“The OSS strongly denies any involvment with the alleged hacking of the site by The Serpentis Corporation, whilst this type of allegation has been directed towards us before, by another Capsuleer group following the destruction of their Erebus Class Titan, no proof has ever been presented. We remain confident that any competent investigation will exonerate us in this regard.”

“Following the announcement that a site was to be erected within our Area Of Operations, representatives made every effort to contact The Upwell Consortium to discuss the security of the site, as this region is heavily populated by Pirate groups, both Capsuleer and others. We are well aware that The Intaki Syndicate are unable to effectively police the Region, and whilst ISP Security Commander Elteroumie may “say what goes and what don’t go” he should be aware that this only applies to the Stations in the areas, as he and his forces have all but abandoned the space to us to police, which I assure you all we do on a daily basis, destroying countless Pirate ships, as well as hostile Capsuleers that would otherwise pose a threat to law abiding citizens.”

“On approaching the site, our forces made every effort possible to liase with the site foremen, but were ignored. As The Upwell Consortium have failed to purchase any Building Permits with us, and failed to respond to any contact, we were left with no choice but to halt the building process, and evacuate as many of the staff as we could feasibly save.”

“The OSS expresses disappointment at Upwell’s hasty words, and would like to speak with them directly, so as to work out this impass. Building Permits for this region are available, and we are happy to negotiate prices for the permit, and ongoing protection of the site from The Serpentis Corporation. Continued failure to file the correct permits will result in building work being prevented.”
“Should the Department of Friendship and Mutual Assistance require any assistance in their investigation, our doors are always open, you can contact myself, or OSS Diplomat Spring Heeledjack”

“Our thoughts are with the families of those who lost their lives yesterday, we hope that this situation can be resolved amicably. Thankyou, there will be no questions taken”

Always advisable to have the correct permits. The Upwell Consortium group are not short of cash , these new stations will be very profitable for those involved in them. Wonder if a deal with the OSS for a building permit will be agreed and how much such a permit would cost, guess it will depend on the size of the Citadel.

6b ISK for a Medium Citadel, 70b ISK for a Large Citadel and 700b ISK for an X-Large Citadel. Blueprint prices these things arent cheap.

What could possibly go wrong?

Common thugs demanding security payment like a bunch of petty gangsters.

Professional business meeting or a message usually puts the most important subject first.
In this report we see on the first place a... concern for lives they have destroyed?..

Does it mean that the main points of interest for offenders were actually personnel rather than the structure itself?

I'm expecting Muriya Mordu to write a letter that carries that exact word, addressed to the OSS as a response to the 'Building Permit' rule.

I'm looking forward to seeing OSS locked out of every station in Syndicate and Outer Ring, and all their assets dead-zoned. Should be an entertaining evening.

I have nothing against OSS. Just :popcorn:

Capsuleers with excessive amounts of ego, and a severe detachment from reality never cease to amuse me.

Last time I checked on the map, the OSS didn't own a single part of the region. That honor falls to the Intaki Syndicate, whose name is on the region itself.

... Huh.

Seems to me like it's not Upwell who are lacking the appropriate "building permits"...
