A brief log by Zaphrine Voxius

ZAPHRINE

---------------------------------------

CHAPTER I


---------------------------------------


Greetings.

As I have brought your attention to this little log of mine, I suppose you are wondering who I am and why you should take your time to read about what I have to say.
Well foremost, I'm an infantry soldier, Captain, well I was before I decided to move on from the battlefield after six or seven years of constant service to the Caldari military before making my way into the capsuleer program which led onto finally starting Voxius Munitions Inc. which aims to supply soldiers and pilots alike with the best possible gear for ridding the galaxy of evil and the like, heh.

Pushing my work aside for now I can let you know a little more about the personal side of me.
I am Zaphrine Voxius, I am 26 years old and I am a Civire. I was brought up within a family that comprised of two younger sisters, Ciara and Rebekah and an older brother, Zeer. Not forgetting my highly militaristic parents. Where my mother was a religious zealot to the point that people believed she was Amarrian and my father who made witty military quotes every chance he got in an attempt to teach his children a lesson about life.

Like my father, most people have a favorite saying... A quote or message that sticks to them and ultimately displays the type of person they are from within. Such messages can be about a large variety of things.

Love, wealth, power, family, crisis, science, I could go on.

But in my case, these examples are irrelevant.

Allow me to recite my own little passage.

“The rifle itself has no moral stature, since it has no will of its own. Naturally, it may be used by evil men for evil purposes, but there are more good men than evil, and while the latter cannot be persuaded to the path of righteousness by propaganda, they can certainly be corrected by good men with rifles.”

Now, being a weapon manufacturer and firearm retailer I suppose having a favourable quotation such as that paints a rather strong image about the type of individual I am. You may believe that violence in general is wrong, unjust, and cruel but without it there is chaos, yet we strive for peace.

We often think of peace as the absence of war, that if powerful nations would reduce their weapon arsenals, we could have peace. But if we look deeply into the weapons, we see our own minds- our own prejudices, fears and ignorance. Even if we transport all the bombs to a distant inhospitable wormhole, the roots of war and the roots of bombs are still there, in our hearts and minds, and sooner or later we will make new bombs. To work for peace is to uproot war from ourselves and from the hearts of men and women. To prepare for war, to give millions of men and women the opportunity to practice killing day and night in their hearts, is to plant millions of seeds of violence, anger, frustration, and fear that will be passed on for generations to come.

At the blue dawn of man, many words of inspiration.
At the end, there will be words of revelation.

This is a little taster.

Please let me know if I should continue with my writings and make more chapters, thank you!
Further feedback is also welcomed!

Up with this sort of thing.

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.
