Intergalactic Summit

Fellow pilots,

Scouting for an upcoming operation in one of the five Drifter occupied shattered systems, I was receiving a distinctive signal. A task force of Sisters of Eve ships is waiting seemingly dormant (no active engines) at planet I. The task force includes 18 Stratios, 26 Asteros, and 10 Nestor class vessels. Thus, the latest report about SoE activities seems to be correct. Besides the vessels present, there are no further hints at their possible mission objectives.

Sincerely,

Resolving: No apparent installations. Planet surface is devastated as usual for so called shattered planets.

Or can they be boarded?

Also asking for a friend.

Pilots;

An ARC group penetrated the Conflux Hive at approximately 2100hrs. Our investigation did not turn up any unusual activity in the Hive itself, though of course Drifter Hives are replete with mysteries all the same.

We await word from CONCORD or the Sisters on what they are seeking.

As it stands, it appears the Sisters are holding position well away from the Hive or any other Sleeper or Drifter constructs.

As I write this, I am preparing a thundering sermon against the wicked, vile Sisters of EVE. But I require tactical information to complete this sermon. Are these SoE fleets targetable? Destructible? What do they leave behind in wreckage and salvage? What are their defensive capabilities? What are the suggested strategies for destroying their fleets?

Do not worry, O Chosen and Righteous Non-Chosen; there is no sin against God in reconnaissance in force against the wicked and vile Sisters of EVE. I shall make clear to all how they stand under the wrath of a holy and righteous God. Amen. Amarr Victor.

Ms. Haritimado,

You have stated your support for a petition for CONCORD and the DED to release their information on the Drifters. And I quote:

I strongly urge the DED to react mindfully in favor of the petition above.

Now you would deny someone who is willing to fight these monsters the knowledge you have. I would suggest that you're being a tad hypocritical.

Although I deplore everything you stand for Nauplius, and I hope you meet God soon on a permanent basis, to answer your questions:

The fleets are targetable. They are, as of two days ago, indestructible. To answer my previous question (for a friend), they cannot be boarded via a Capsule. They do not appear to have engaged anyone as yet, so there is no debris or salvage. Their defensive capabilities should be in-line with their ship types, but without engagement, I cannot say for sure. Strategically, I do not advise engaging them at present. As much as the SOE are complicit in withholding information along with CONCORD, it would be wiser to observe them carefully, report their actions publicly and wait and see if they engage the Drifters, how, and what the results of said engagement might be. That they have not engaged the Drifters and that the Drifters have not engaged them leads to a degree of (paranoid) speculation. I will say that as a corporation that describes itself as "a humanitarian aid organization," they historically, have done a very, very poor job.

So go hunt Drifters Nauplius. They are a much greater, heretical and military threat to God and Empire than a tired band of Tribals who say they come for their people, but still haven't leaned how to use a Nav Computer. You'll probably die in the attempt, and I'm ok with that. But at least your death will do some degree of good.

It is unfortunate that these new Sisters of EVE fleets are indestructible, because

God has lost his patience with the Sisters of EVE Anti-Vitoc Agenda. God fumes with anger when the Sisters of EVE criminalize Vitoc in their space. God fumes with anger when he Sisters of EVE buy up all the Vitoc from SCC markets. God fumes with anger when the Sisters of EVE launch massive fleets into wormhole space in order to seek out new cures for Vitoc.

And so God has given the Sister of EVE over to destruction. We are to be as demons to them, as if the Sisters of EVE were already in the bowels of Hell; no punishment, no torture is too great to inflict upon them, for God has given the Sisters of EVE over to destruction. The Blood of the Sisters of EVE grants holiness to the Chosen, and truly, God will reward those who destroy the Sisters of EVE with heaps of crowns in Paradise.

Even so, may the Blood Age come quickly. Amen. Amarr Victor.

No...NO...No Nauplius. Bad Nauplius. Go fight Drifters. DRIFTERS.

And seriously, VITOC is for amateur slavers. Who cares?

"Don't be a dip! Chip before you whip!"

*sigh* Why I even bother...I swear I'm going to get "I am not the Idiot Whisperer" tattooed on the inside of my eyelids.

GO. KILL. DRIFTERS.

Oh for f*ck's sake...

Ms. Priano,

While I respect your work and the efforts that you've made to help stem the tide of Drifter aggression, please do not forget that we are at war. And I'm not talking about just Khanid or Amarr. I mean we, as a species are at war. Your counterpart was asked for intel regarding the actions of the SoE in relation to the Drifter threat and refused to provide it. Why? Because the person asking is a Bloodraider? I have news for you, the Drifters don't care about God or heretics. They don't care about lines on a star chart or laws or culture. So if I have the opportunity to aim a creature like Nauplius at them, I'm going to do so, because the situation we're in is just that serious. Five, almost six years ago, I watched as Sansha Kuvakei kidnapped millions of innocents across the galaxy and CONCORD and the SoE for all their talk of being peacemakers and defenders did nothing. Now, when faced with an even bigger threat, a near-alien presence that has the theoretical capability to end us, I see history repeating itself. CONCORD and the SoE are withholding information that could prove vital to ending the Drifter threat now, before it blossoms into something we have no chance of beating. If we start doing the same, if we sit by paralyzed by inaction as many of or governments do, if we put our faith in corruption that is CONCORD and the SoE, we may lose everything. And all we are, all our history, all the things that we've accomplished over the millennia will have been for naught. One does not worry about maintaining the moral high ground when one is beset upon by beasts. These...things must be destroyed, and by any means necessary.

My dear Mr. Kinnison,

If my words appear overly passionate, it is because I believe in the righteousness of this cause and the danger we all face.

And again, do not fool yourself into thinking this this is only an Amarr issue. If the Drifters could hotdrop the Amarr Head of State, there is no government or person in this Galaxy who is truly safe.

Providing intel to "known criminals" under certain circumstances is of course to be avoided. In this case however? As I said, we are all at war, even if certain people are fighting it from the safety of an armchair. The proof is in the death of the Amarr Empress.

The Drifters don't care about our concepts of "good" and "evil." Those are our societal definitions, not theirs. So if "good" people and "evil" people are willing to take up arms against the Drifters, they should be afforded every opportunity to do so. I have been a man of the Law for most of my life. I have been a criminal too. And in the final analysis, it really doesn't matter. This war isn't about who is right, it's about who is left.
