Intergalactic Summit

Despite antics of previous "orator" Skyweir Kinnison and his attempt at disrupting the conversation with trolling, I would still like to give you answer.


Yes, that's what I have meant. And I believe you, Mr. Onzo, shall be more worried about it, since the incident happened in your space.

Here we are talking not about "terrorism" of Templis Dragonaurs, who did nothing against the State or Empire, and whose terror act happened 200 years ago, but about an event happened in our lifetime, and against the ally of Caldari State.
It is all on the surface, Mr. Onzo. And we really shall not forget such things.

Tuulinen-haan doesn't need me to defend him. However, Kim-haani, you have crossed a line.

How exactly is the state supposed to run Kim? In your eyes every caldari should be taking up the fight against the federation right? If everyone's doing that how are you to feed yourselves or actually have an economy to pay for your warring? Or are they simply not doing their civic duty to your people by allowing others like yourself the ability to focus on fighting?

Either way congrats Pieter, your doing something for the cluster as a whole, including your own, as opposed to others circling a beacon in space as a mercenary and touting their superiority for being good at doing so.

I know they are the enemies of both Caldari State and Amarr Empire, ma'am. But at the same time - look at the map. You can see how many systems are occupied by Gallente Federation and Minmatar Republic.

Compared to that Drifter's presence is insignificant.



I don't mind him fighting the enemy, be it drifters or something else, Mr. Onzo, what I do mind is:
1) Deserting when we lack numbers and need every pilot here.
2) Siding with well known terrorists and enemies of Amarr Empire and Caldari State.

Oh, that's a valid concern actually. I should point out that I am in Morwen's employ solely as an anti-Drifter agent and that I will not be acting as part of the alliance that her Corporation is part of.

I am not tied into Rote fleet communications at any level. I will not be flying in their fleets. I will not, in fact, be interacting with them in much of any way.

To be fair, if you're not crying woe is me about the Drifters, you get pretty much the same reaction from an even greater majority these days.

At least that majority has a point.

Yes. I'm a fully qualified Logisitics pilot now, although not terribly experienced!

I said they have a point, no more than that.

Do I think the Drifters pose such an imminent danger that I need to down tools and grab my gun? No. In fact I think the best place for me in the face of that potential threat is exactly where I am. You never know what we might find as we poke around out here in W-space, and in any case my presence helps safeguard the security and prosperity of millions of people.

I've worked in teams all my life, and a big part of that is knowing what your strengths are and when to apply them, and knowing what your teammates' strengths are and when to get out of the way and let them apply theirs.

Right now? I know that the two entities I care about the most in K-space - the State and the Republic - are still in a sufficiently strong position that my contribution would be strategically negligible.

Origin on the other hand would suffer quite badly from my absence in a crisis. I'm not going to abandon it unless I have a truly pressing reason to do so.

Certainly more fair, Verin, and I do congratulate Pieter on finding a tad more... constructive path in New Eden. You'll hear no complaints from me on that front.
