That you don't want to know the answer to. That's what my mother told me, at least. She's right enough. I came to space with bright eyes and an eagerness to fight for Truth, Justice, and the Gallentean Way. Maybe, just maybe, along the way I would learn something about where I was from. I was a naif.
There is no beauty in the stars. There are no heroes. As to the answers: I don't want to know.
To be a capsuleer is to compromise your integrity. I see that now. It's a compromise I am not willing to make. Thank the gods my eyes were open in time.
I will worry about the rest of you.

Truth, Justice and Gallentean Way. Ma'am, you can choose only one of these.

So if I choose justice, is there no truth?

She's mad but she's magic, there's no lie in her fire.

The truth is the path of acceptance, and the justice is the path of retribution. They might cross, but they don't walk together, sometimes you will have to choose.

What being a capsuleer has taught me more than anything is that we are the only ones who should be responsible for using the strength we have. So called 'normal' people simply have no idea what being one of us is truly like and subjugating ourselves to those who can never understand us is utter folly.

There's an ancient philosophical quote I've become quite fond of lately, Im told its from before the Eve gate opened.

Pretty horrible person?...

Is that because I defend our peoples from occupants and genocide, because I save captured peoples from torturers and fight to protect our lands from foreign invaders?

I guess it all lists as a 'horrible' in a gallentean book. And it looks like you have made your choice already, following a gallentean way.

But those, who walk that way act against both truth and justice.

And this is why we fight you.
And this is why you are destined to lose.
In the name of Justice.
And in the name of Truth.

I think I can see where you're coming from. This capsuleer gig can be pretty disillusioning, especially if you've been exposed to that Truth and Justice jazz. The way that they market some of these capsuleer programs is highly misleading (though effective!).

All that stuff is a crock anyway, as far as I'm concerned. I mean, I can probably count on one hand the times that I've actually seen people acting on these principles, in or out of the capsule? People lie, cheat, steal, and try to get away with whatever they can on a regular basis from what I've seen.

But how important is all that really? Despite the corruption, people fall in love, share jokes, make friends, raise kids, go on vacations and such. Don't let it bend you out of shape too much. Find out what's/who's important out there and leave the rest behind I say.

It doesn't really matter if you are capsuleer or not for such question. Though being a capsuleer is incredibly important for one purpose: delivering damage to your enemies.

I myself walk paths of Duty and Honor. But even them sometimes go apart, and I am not interested in telling you what and how I act in such cases, since you won't understand it anyway with your tiny gallentean brain and will use it only to troll me. That's very sensitive and personal topic, not for your ears.

As for Truth and Justice, even without walking their roads, I use them often as I walk the path of Duty against our enemies - gallentes, who disregard Truth in their propaganda, and I deliver them justice as part of my Duty.
