Intergalactic Summit

No, but she was straight forward and polite in turning down my request even after I pestered her multiple times. She seems less...fanatical...in person. Though it still doesn't excuse the way she acts on the IGS.

Wow! Looks like when you take Heth's inept, treasonous leadership out of the equation, the rest of the Caldari State just can't wait to get involved in repairing the results of incompetence!

Who would have thought?

Side-stepping the issue of Heth, as that's a topic for another place;

Let's explore the nuance of the deal. The Scope correctly identifies the potential benefit and pitfall of CFU buying stake in Kaalakiota Okusaika. What's curious is what this implies. If CFU were wary of KK's prospects, they'd likely have preferred a refinancing, to prevent devaluation of the asset. Similarly, if Oiritsuu were confident of KK's prospects, she'd have preferred a loan as there would be a yield on the increased valuation of KK stock compared to the liability of the loan. What this likely demonstrates is that CFU is both bullish on the possibility of the refinance, and also that KK remains on uncertain ground. We can safely assume that Oiritsuu's plan to generate revenue looks promising, but that her promise to stake her own assets on it was done mostly to demonstrate dedication, and that KK ultimately required additional funding from CFU due to the scale of the plans being undertaken.

Whatever else happens, I look forward to seeing KK enact its various plans.
