Intergalactic Summit

What I am offering, is a chance. For them to live outside of combat, and for them to escape the troubles that come with it if they so choose. I don't expect a capsuleer to understand but death and "going through the meat grinder" means nothing to our sort. It's a constant part of life for us, and something that I myself hardly care about anymore as death, for us, has been rendered even more meaningless than it is to the capsuleer. Rest assured, if anyone wants to leave this life it isn't because they can no longer endure the pain of dying time and time again. Were that the case, none of the men and women that make up our signatories wouldn't even be here to begin with.

The real toll, and what many may well be willing to escape, is seeing the impact that our skirmishes have on the local population and the constant persecution that we face by empire entities. Moreover what I suggest is merely a natural, sensible response to the Villore Assembly's call to apply warclone technology to vital roles in society. Having immortal veterans who already have access to this technology fill these roles is just good sense, and while you may claim that this is just me "putting them through the meat grinder" that fails to highlight how critically important many of these jobs are. Firefighters, miners, nuclear technicians, all of these jobs are critically important but ought to provide those few brave specialists that specialize in these fields a backup failsafe should the worst come to pass.

I think offering voluntary employment to those who choose to seek it is a far, far cry from running them "through the meat grinder."


That is not what I am offering, as I have explained repeatedly. I, nor anyone in the Accords, is out to seek land or territory in any of this. Our primary concern is with reconstruction efforts, connecting with cut off mercenary clans, and upholding a temporary cease-fire.

This is radically, radically different the picture you paint of driving Molden Heath into perpetual war. In fact, to this date my units have faced only minor opposition among actual clone soldiers thanks to our extensive list of high-profile signatories previously a part of the mercenary community. Indeed, to date is seems like there has been far more pushback from the capsuleer community on this project than I have ever gotten from the actual mercenaries.



Ah. I see what this is now.

So my plan, which I have explained at length now the goals and methods and how they are not at all set on conquest... Must surely be destined for failure. So it would be best if I were to just abandon them outright in favor of selling out my organization to your alliance? I should just abandon this dream I have (and I suppose the citadel too) to be your employee and have my army of veteran soldiers at your beck and call?

Ah, how fortunate that such a kind benefactor such as you is willing to deliver me from the foolish notion that I, a simple clone soldier, can think on my own or build anything of my own seperate from the will of a capsuleer! If you hadn't come along, well, who knows what I could have gotten up to! I'm sure you'll take care of us, feed us, provide us support so long as we pay you for the cost and all the while we can be your favorite little pet.

Simply? Get bent. I'm not going to sell out just yet.

As a Cardinal of the Sixth Empire, and friend to all free folk of New Eden, I approve this message from the Bosena Accords. I will bring this to His Holiness Max Singularity's attention, and see if we may arrange a personal blessing on your endeavours. As I believe you have the best interests of baselines, Empyreans, and immortals at heart, you fly with the Sixth in heart, if not name.

I have always had a deep respect for the Sixth Empire. I must say, it is immensely humbling to know that we have your support in this endeavour and I will strive to ensure that our actions do justice to the all the implications that come with your blessing.

From the bottom of my heart, rikaato.

You're support is deeply appreciated ma'am, especially given recent developments. I apologise for the late response, as I've been making frequent trips back-and-forth planetside and to the Warclone Refuge. The Citadel itself is coming along well and slowly filling with refugees and immortal soldiers alike. The real problem right now as the local population planetside.

Supplies have been incredibly scarce, and many of the locals are suffering for it. Morally, I feel like we have the responcibility to help them to the best of our ability. Pragmatically, it is in our best interest to do so as tensions have started to rise now that many of the more wealthy and powerful soldiers in the region are starting to rally to our citadel while the poorest and most disenfranchised are forced to suffer below. It's sending the wrong message, even if they don't realise that we're barely able to keep the Citadel stocked ourselves.

Currently, there are two ways we can help this situation. Either by disrupting the pirates that make it difficult to move supplies into and out of Bosena, or by moving greater supplies into the region to support the locals. Milk, blankets, water bottles, every little bit helps.
