Intergalactic Summit

For a couple weeks now, Theology Council was much present in the Fua Constellation.

This morning, at around 0830 eve standard time, a Thanatos Class carrier appeared in the orbit of Akila V.



The capsuleer flying the craft was identified as Boma Airaken, a known Equilbrium of Mankind associate. It was soon obvious that the trap Theology Council was springing on them turned against themselves.



But...



At least they did one thing right.

A Stillwater taskforce was mobilised and managed to intercept and tackle the Thanatos Class Carrier flown by Boma Airaken, but in his dying breath so to say. he decided to steer he carrier towards the orbit of the planet.

The carrier was shot down before it could enter the atmosphere.
However, the wreck itself was too close to the surface of Akila V and we couldn't do much from preventing it to crash down to the surface of the planet.

3 million people died in the disaster, much more wounded and homeless. The people of Akila V are in a lot of griefon this day.

Boma Airaken is currently imprisoned under Stillwater Corporation's authority on the Akila VI - Moon 13 - Aliastra station, and under our jurisdiction.

The artifacts and hints that Airaken has 'dropped' whatever it seemed to hint about Kyonoke ad Kitzless is currently under Stillwater Corporation's jurisdiction as well, in terms of safekeeping. The subject is currently under investigation

If any Theology Council officials would like to have a peek at it, you can always find me down at the Ivory Tower.

Thank you for the impartial report, I assume you have evidence that the pilot intentionally steered his vessel into the planet? Are you sure the vessel wasn't simply "out of control" after your onslaught?

Not that I care for the Amarrian casualties, it would be nice to hear both sides of the encounter.

Boma Airaken; willing to give an AAR on the event?

As for ISK to "help", I'm sure there are many of your supporters that will contribute to your "glorious" victory.

Nice to see you pick up on a little over sight, kinda reassures me that the real cause of the 3 million deaths were at your hands not those of the carrier pilot.

Only the truth on the event would be nice. I suppose its a case of "history is written by the victors".

There's little to discuss.

The EoM Carrier was shot down and dropped down on the surface of Akila V, killing 3 million civilians.

If Ushra'khan wants to make a celebration because some amarrians were killed, I won't stop them;. They're making us all a favour after all.

Celebration? I see no celebration; just simple questions asking you to validate and attribute the true cause for the loss of life, which you have nicely skipped over.

You posted your AAR in a public channel and don't expect any response? Guess you were the one "celebrating" in the first instance.

I suspect the other Seekers will... take issue with you holding one of their own captive.

That would not be wise for you and yours, Caine.

The walls of your little tower are not so high.

Ah, yes I suppose the proper action would have been to just cloak up like U'K and let the Thanatos leave. But then you would have damned them for that action as well I imagine.

Ah, Yes, I can see your response now, "You knew a Pirate aligned Carrier was orbiting a planet and didn't attack it? Cowards." And then, of course, insert a rant about how U'K would have killed it on sight.

The fact remains that if the wreck crashed to the surface, it was already in low enough orbit that it was headed in that direction with or without encouragement.

I wasn't aware that the EoM was such a scary entity that a capsuleer would need to hide from it SIlas? Would you expect Stillwater to hand over their prisoner out of fear? Why that'd almost be as silly as being scared of, say, the Blood Raiders.

Uhm, yes, chest beating. Totally what I was throwing down there.

At this juncture I have two options.

1. (a favorite of my alliance) Be completely condescending.
2. Try to clarify nicely to see if you can understand my point a bit better.

I'll choose 2, and then if I need to respond again I'll bias towards 1.

First, chest beating would indicate that I have skin the in game(bias) either way. Err that is, on either the side of U'K, Stillwater, OR EoM. I don't.

I was simply trying to find an alternative action that Stillwater could have done to avoid the 'gruesome' cost of the kill. There seems to be two choices, obviously, not engage, or engage. They chose to engage. You might not admit it now, but you would be just as adverse to their choice had they chose not to engage.

Now as for re-reading the AAR, perhaps you could do with a refresher?


Now correct me if I'm wrong, but as the people on site, I think Stillwater pilots would have been in a unique position to make the determination that the Carrier was headed for the planet.

As proof, I point out that since I have shot down more than one capital ship around a planet, and I am sure you have too. Those caps have not drifted into the atmosphere... therefore, the Carrier was indeed headed for the planet, and was quite close before being destroyed to have the wreck pulled down to the surface.

Oh, so do tell, U'K doesn't engage known pirates on sight now? obviously I am speaking sarcastically as I am sure that U'K still operates either NBSI or NRDS.

So since that makes all of my points... you know... factual. I look forward to your next inexplicable and silly counter post.

Sometimes I wonder why people bother putting content in an OP.

It would just be more straight-to-the-point for this place to say, "This is a post. Please start an argument below. Thanks!"
