Intergalactic Summit

The fastest way to Jovian trade is Jovian mirth. They are prone to chemical imbalances. It is something in their gene composite that has evolved through their life spans. Being that they might be the indigenous sentience using your technology to secure their bastions would be most appreciated. Using thier technology to see their space safe for would further their delicate senses for survival.

Interesting fact: When I was fighting in the Trials, our location was kept classified, for obvious reasons. The deadpsace pocket combined with the electronic security that spoofed the pod's firmware caused my navigation computer to think I was in Jove space.

Not just you I agree

That's what I could expect from scoundrels like Makoto Priano or guristas, but not from you, Mr. Tuulinen.

IMHO this is the reason why capsuleers must be prohibited from entering Jove space, and it shall be solved by CONCORD, or at least the State, since we were their most trustworthy allies. Amarr Empire is honorable as well and could be trusted with this task, but, unfortunately, they have mutual animosity and an armed conflict might be sparkled from simple misunderstanding.

Gallenteans? They should be definitely kept out from this, or they would come stomping poor surviving Jovians, coercing them into democracy and filth like that.

Minmatars?... Well, their ships will far apart even half way there, so they aren't an option in any case.

Your inherent bias is so evident then I don't even need to point it out

People tried the diplomatic approach with the Drifters.

They pretty clearly are either uninterested in or incapable of any form of communication at this point, short of exchanging weapons fire.

And we do know from autopsies that they actually are incapable of verbal communication. Doesn't exclude other methods but given they haven't responded to any attempts thus far... I think the time for talking may have long passed.

Tyrathlion Interstellar obviously supports this initiative, both as its own entity, and as a member of ARC.

I'm gratified to see so many people interested in coming to an agreement of some kind, and I sincerely appreciate the various offers of support on the subject. For many reasons, this is clearly somewhat of a delicate subject, and I'm happy that there is at least a broad consensus for an agreement, even if the details need to be worked out.

I fully understand and appreciate the reticence some have voiced, as well as their concerns. The decision to take part in a Jovian exploration team is not one I make lightly, and I have little doubt that the broader New Eden gaining full access to Jovian tech would roil an already chaotic cluster. However, i would much rather the technology fall into all hands than fall into solely the wrong ones. Sansha Kuvakei has shown us the dangers of allowing a limited few to get their hands on advanced technology. Also, I should be clear that I am not advocating for an overt attempt to breach Jovian space, but if the opportunity presents itself, I think we should be ready to respond.

I appreciate ARC's offer to lead the discussions on this issue, especially since I may not be the most logical leader for this sort of discussion. I merely wanted to get the ball rolling. Thank you all again for the support, and I look forward to seeing what kind of agreement we can reach.

Mr. Biko, with respect, the Society's statement has not in any way or shape been followed up on by the Society. We even had a brief moratorium on operations to provide the Society additional time to clarify that statement.

Unfortunately, it seems that the statement must be read as an off-the-cuff remark, which is not a focus of the Society.

As much as a peaceful resolution to the Drifter conflict would be ideal, there is a significant burden in blood and threat that the Drifters would need to provide adequate recompense for before peace is practicable at this time.

The Society must surely know this.

I think we'll be keeping our discussions, agreements, and planning firmly planted in the grounds of observable reality, and not popular fiction, thanks.

Fiction within fiction, inceptionesque.
