Intergalactic Summit

Yes, we're always in it for ourselves! Of course, somebody's bound to take the moral high ground as they ***** that they don't want to buy our product. It's simple: if the purchase of our product is in your best interest, do it. If it's not, don't.

The mental gymnastics some people perform to find a way to condemn honest moitte is spectacular and, frankly, exhausting to consider. Spend your time and energy forwarding your own business and get your nose out of ours.

I do not know what is funnier, her pretending that it is honest and up front business not initially branded as a humanitarian investment, you continuing to cling to the idea that the people of Syndicate actually are going to benefit, or you jumping to attacking the Republic to convince others we are wrong about a bad investment.

You want people to pay for I-RED to move back to Syndicate. The line it will benefit the people of Syndicate because you will hire them for your citadels and ship crews is at best tone-deaf and certainly one of the dumbest lines ever to come out of a Caldari corporation's already typically lazy public relations. The fact you are selling it as humanitarian effort and as an investment speaks to what kind of investors you are looking for.

Stupid ones who don't ask questions. Good luck.

Okay, it is clear to me at this point that trying to reason with you with any ounce of civil, reasonable logic will be deflected, misconstrued, and spun around back at I-RED into some sort of attack or attempt at harassment. Feel free to keep up your senseless rabbling in this thread. If you decide to say something actually relevant I would be more than happy to have a civil discussion with you. Fair profits to you, and thank you for the good luck.

Oh, and just so you know, a business can both be beneficial to the company offering the business and the consumers utilizing the business's services. This is basic economics.

Dear Mr. Bouchate,

Thank you for the release of the official policy regarding operation Grey Steel. A very necessary and appreciated step. I will contact you about a purchase after consultation with my CEO.

Sincerely yours,

Haria Haritimado
Itsukame-Zainou Hyperspatial Inquiries Ltd.

If you really think about it, you can spin around just about anything anyone has ever done in the history of history to be self-serving. That food you eat and water you drink to help you stay alive? Ancestor's choke, how self-serving of you!


Finally a valid piece of criticism. Thank you for this, and allow me to explain.

Why do they need our help? Well, you answered that for us - they don't. There is a difference, however, in needing versus wanting the benefits we can offer them. Some residents of Syndicate may want a piece of the cake, while others may not. We will gladly serve those who do, and will simply coexist in this big cluster with those who do not. It is that simple.

The Syndicate has no interest in bowing down to the Caldari? Well, I didn't know Sarpati required all his underlings to bow down to him for employing them, but here in I-RED we do not require our employees to submit to either I-RED or the Caldari State. They simply work for us for a wage, and they are free to keep their loyalties wherever they may wish (with certain exceptions, of course).

On the contrary, we are not directly competing with Syndicate stations for business. If you look at any starmap, you will notice that the systems we erected citadels in are in non-station systems. There is no local competition, unless you move a jump or two over.


As stated in my last point, the systems in which these citadels are constructed do not have direct local competition from Syndicate stations. Thus, there is no established player to compete with in the individual systems. Also bear in mind that construction is still ongoing within each citadel, and more services may be offered over time.

I agree that even still, the services we can offer via Astrahus-class citadels are limited. This is unfortunate, but we do not expect it to pose a problem, as we will also be collecting fees from the non-capsuleer residents who live aboard them and make use of them.

Safety is a concern, yes. However, in addition to the citadel's own defenses, we expect to be able to keep them relatively safe alongside our allies in the area. You do bring up a good point about asset recovery in the event that one does get destroyed...hmm, perhaps this is a service I-RED will agree to cover in the future; discussion amongst the I-RED board of directors is required.


Maybe a passerby just wants a place to dock up for the night? Or maybe a safe haven to temporarily escape gatecamps? There are plenty of reasons if you think hard enough.

If you say so.

I can assure you with complete confidence that I-RED in no way, shape, or form needed any financial assistance to move back to Syndicate. We more than have enough ISK to move on our own.

Also you don't think we deliver a quality product? I'm moderately offended!


Thank you for the welcome back. See you soon, friend.

An insightful, accurate, and concise assessment if ever there was one.

Ms. Vero, I have no moral equivocations about it at all.

In this hunt I know exactly which dog to back.

So this is what it is like to watch from the otherside. A word of advice to Executor Hinkelmann and Mr. Bouchate, ignore the riff-raff, you only answer to your investors afterall.

I commend the board for their ability to stay true to the business ethics and fair trade practices of past. Good luck.

To our investors, we appreciate your support in this initiative. The Ishukone-Raata Directorship has put together a detailed analysis of Operation Grey Steel, that will be released to you by mid-month of June.

It has also been decided by the directorship, that with our new path of industrialization and better business practices our financial division will be supplying the public with quarterly financial reports, in a effort to create transparency and forge better ties with our business partners. You can expect more information in regards to this in a future release.

We are honored to have you aboard our investor team, Miss Sinulf.

Additionally, I am pleased to announce that our tech teams have finished construction of a virtual reality space to host information, communication, and interaction for those interested in learning more about the Syndicate Stability Initiative II™ or those already participating.

Fluid router server name for this space is: SSI2

Thank you to those who have expressed interest and well-wishes to the initiative and its projects. We here at I-RED look forward to a brighter future for the people of Syndicate.
