I've met your dad, Andy. I call shenanigans on the idea that he ever took you to a theme park.


Are you kidding? He took me to theme parks all the time. In fact, this one time, he took me to this place called "the summit of Mount Khargutya" and we went on this ride called "stare out at Calluya for a really long time and then get told 'when you grow up, you and your brothers in the Sabha will hold all of this in a fist of iron. This is your duty, and your destiny.'"

It was the best ride ever.

See, my dad took me to a Splinterz battle when I was seven and held me up on his shoulders the whole time and I ate a thirty centimetre hot dog and I was sick afterwards but I met Kuro Suvaaki and he let me keep a piece of the medium flank guard he'd been flying for that match and I fell asleep in the shuttle on the way back to Korama and wouldn't stop talking about it for days.

Way better than a mountain and a speech.

(by talking about it, I mean "running around the creche with my arms out pretending to be a battle drone".)

How nice for you.

In this particular case, Andreus is stating as politely as he can that he finds your remarks insensitive considering the nature of his relationship with his own father.

Considering that the only time I've interacted with Andreus's father is when he came into the summit looking for someone to kill Andreus, I can understand where he is coming from.

Wow, it's pretty funny how you call Verin out for being insensitive about my family life and then tell everyone on the IGS that my father is trying to murder me.

You're right, it was insensitive.

Sorry, Andy.

That was public knowledge.

If it helps any, I would be willing to stop him?

Wow. That's a reassuring revelation about the state of my life, isn't it? The Sansha loyalist is less of a bastard than at least one member of my immediate family.

You know what, let's go back to talking about Okagaiken and the Caldari militia and how apparently terrible the Federation's attitude towards the entire affair is. That was vaguely less awful than this current conversation.

Good this is, we have progress.

This statement is more likely than you may realize.

Well, at least I've now gone from being slightly conflicted about my lack of family to being slightly grateful.

For the first time since I started the conversation, he looks me dead in the eye. In his gaze are steel jackhammers, quiet vengeance, a hundred thousand orbital bombs frozen in still life.

See, we were always told that our creche-mates were our family.

It didn't work quite so well on me seeing as I actually had biological parents who visited me and took me places every time they had shore leave, but losing touch with some of the people I grew up with is one of the few things I regret about becoming a capsuleer.

We were always told that the whole Company was our family. We got told a lot of things in Creche.

To be honest I was close with only a few of my sibkin and most of those relationships got scuppered when I was picked for Capsuleer training.

I know how you all feel....almost all of my friends and family back planetside I've lost contact with for various reasons or another, of course there are the few that I will occasionally visit whom I still maintain lose connections with, many of whom I would not have become a capsuleer without and now they are reaping he benefits of their investments

As for my family, I refuse to deal with them whilst they blindly sit on a planet calling for the murder of all Minmater for their 'heinous blasphemy'

An interesting statement which you no doubt have unequivocal proof of. Or was it just intended to bait the bear?

CONCORD favors the Federation? I'm not fond of the Feddies and I do question exactly how the nation with the least manly males in the entire cluster managed to succeed like this, but this is the first time I've seen claims of CONCORD favoring them.

How exactly do they favor them?
