Intergalactic Summit

Where'd you hear that?

Ex-PYRE.

Still nothing on that whole, y'know. "I don't know who I-RED is, even though I joined them in a war to 'stick out for our mates' and all that" thing? No comments on the hypocritical nonsense? No comment on the influx of skilled pilots? No comments on the Anshar folk joining in? Nothing? Even the ones who aren't Blood Raiders?

If I had a thinking emoji, I'd use it.

One, name your sources.

Two, have I ever asked who I-RED are? I know who I-RED are, and you'll find that they joined us. I would know, I was the brain behind that operation and led every fleet we operated. Even the joint ones.

Three, I don't think you're best placed to judge the philosophies of my comrades and followers.

How it works with you people is that the second anyone is named, or a name is otherwise discovered, or any sort of light comes to any of that thing, the cogs go to work to ad hominem it out of existence. Consistently. This has happened in every thread I've watched you people chat in.

Second, semantics. Yes, I know you're familiar with I-RED. The satire therein is critiquing you wantonly declaring war on people that, not even a few months ago, you were adamantly "in support of". Yeah, I-RED were a part of your war, but it wasn't yours to fight, and also, it's odd to consider that no matter how any times I ask anyone in I-RED about your 'help,' they change the subject. And fast. Weird.

Third, okay. I mean, that's your judgment call to make, but you literally don't even know me, or my ideals, or my ideas, or pretty much my anything. That's fine, though. Legit. Like, opinions are opinions.

Thank you for the answer, Miss Celeste. I would like it to be stated again, as it has been passed over many times. AKAGI is a corporation that are under our employee and are not a part of our children corporations. Their recruitment process is different. Their fleets they run and have taken part of themselves are different. They make their own choices in that regard.

As far as I'm aware, members of I-RED's children corporations were not present at the engagement you speak of. We do not, in any way, shape, or form, support pirates, Sansha supporters, Sani Sabik, etc. There is zero tolerance for these kinds of people.

We will not fight by your side. We will not agree to any working together. If anyone did that was a part of I-RED's children corporations, then it would become an internal matter to be handled by myself with utmost seriousness.

If you would like to fight against those that oppose the Sabik faith, then by all means. That is your choice. I simply wanted to clear the air regarding I-RED's affiliations.

Edited: to correct "parent" to "children". I have yet to have had my coffee.

The fact that anyone would refer to PYRE and Ex-PYRE pilots as "You People" tells me we did something very right, I have never been more proud of having been a director of PYRE as I am now.

Idiots still beating the corpse of this issue? Lovely.

Most people would call that a pattern.

That's fine. Sort of. Apathy is the cluster's least satisfying killer, though. Of time and patience and a lot of other things, too. I'm tired of being apathetic and throwing pointless snarky comments about like I used to, so I'm trying to take a more proactive, shrill shouting kind of voice thing. Y'know, making my own Corp so I can shoot and be shot.

Enjoy your drinks. You never came in for a suit fitting. Still interested?

So, Syenna, this is what you do with 3 months of sleeper pay outs and a leave of absence for 'religious reasons'? I haven't had the opportunity to talk to your (former?) CEO but rest assured it'll be a topic to break the monotony on a long day.

To Valentia DLM, I am glad you feel pride, because I know we feel a void where you were. You'll always be PYRE, that name no longer graces our licenses but has become something larger, something that binds us. My personal respect for you is of the highest order. If you need us, just get in touch.

Pieter, I am glad to see you're well, and in such an esteemed organisation as ARC. I wish you luck with your coming combat operations, both in this paltry war with Nauplius and your vital work against the Drifters. We should compare notes, I have been wanting an opportunity to meet your new boss for a while, so why not kill two birds with one stone? Do let me know when would be suitable for you.

Finally, back to Syenna, I would appreciate you keeping me updated with the dossiers of your new coterie? Coven? Cabal? No disrespect, your peculiar theology is lost on me, but combat prowess is not. Another band of survivors is always welcome, either on contract or a more permanent basis. I'll be watching your operations with interest.
