Intergalactic Summit

That completely answers the question, in fact. In my travels, I of course meet many who were not enslaved and only know of the practice by their parents, for good and ill, most often ill for the reason you have enumerated. As a bishop of, essentially, believers in Matari space who do not maintain a residence in Amarr space, I tend to deal with just those sorts of people. Mostly, I do deal with people who have no intention of going back for very long, since transport isn't essentially very difficult to arrange for immigrants.

However, it does help since so many of the people I come into contact have a fundamental dilemma. There are quite a few believers in the Word who have significant and understandable anger towards their former masters who, despite their demonstrable faith, were kept as slaves. Therefore, they are trying to come to terms with their faith even though they have no intention of returning to Amarrian space. There is a great deal of counseling that happens for those people, some of whom have shifted towards shamanism within their adopted communities. Most that I deal with, obviously, have a deep faith in God and wonder whether being ejected into Matari space is a punishment. Given that they are not always being met with essential services, it is easy to imagine.

It is important to galvanize the local community in that respect. The ministry in Matari space generally focuses on these new freedmen who have their faith to their name and little else. We do try to bring people together so that they do not suffer the unkind viscissitudes of fate and can support each other. This means having some kind of understanding with other local communities who do not practice the faith.

Therefore, I very much appreciate your particular appraisals of their situations and your experience in resettling them in the Republic safely. If you have any need of my expertise in the subject as well, please do not hesitate to ask. It is in no one's interest, the Amarrian Empire's or the Minmatar Republic's, to have a group of impoverished former laborers who resent both. It would behoove both of us to help to facilitate their transition and engage them with a community who can get them on their feet and provide them with local support.

Let me know if I can help. Being a mere Bishop in a "diocese" of such colossal size and scope means that our resources are stretched thin and the community itself is largely self-supported. However, we might have some overlap, and I can always see if I can squeeze some money out of the diocese's budget for humanitarian purposes. I have other methods at my disposal which are probably not viable options for your followers, but the arms of God should stretch outward in welcome. People of my faith have no excuse but to strive towards true humility and charity. If there is anything we can do to make your lives more comfortable, I will do my best.

Might I suggest two rounds to the back of the head?

If the pain is truly beyond help, beyond treatment. If the only option is to head to the frontier and inflict your misery onto others. Where is the use in a life such as that. Cancel your contracts.

That savagery has no place in the State. What happens outside it is a matter for others to decide.

Personally I don't think I could justify the oxygen I breathe if my life was devoted to simple wish fulfilment.

The State Protectorate is Heth's orphan - nobody cares how well liked you are by them. Certainly it isn't the arbiter of your relations with the State proper! But yes, there's always a cup of tea for someone who serves our purposes - just please don't mistake an appreciation for utility for appreciation for the whole package.

Go ahead. Step out of line. Then you'll see what I mean.

It might help the discussion if you defined 'savage' and 'acts of savagery.'

Are you just saying that you shot at Protectorate designated targets but you really liked it? If so, I'm not sure how the State would know that you were being savage. I mean, I don't think they have you fill out a questionnaire after each engagement to discern your state of mind.

Alternatively, maybe you skinned a Gallente, rubbed yourself with their blood, and then ran through a State/Mega owned station wearing only your 100% authentic FDU hoodie. I assume they'd respond to that.

And that is why my kind and Caldari society will never mesh well.

Incorrect.

Currently, it is the main fighting force of the State. Unfortunately, Caldari Navy stays away from the war, and to my great disappointment, responsibility, planning and execution of war campaigns lay exclusively in capsuleer hands.

I hope, however, that soon either CEP, or reinstated as Executor of the State Heth-haan will properly mobilize Caldari Navy and together we will push gallentean swines back into stone age.

But until it happens, it is only us, who are actively fighting gallentean menace.

Out of interest, just what IS 'your kind'?

I was assuming you meant Matari, but since I know that Matari people are no more savage and pointlessly violent than anyone else, when put in the right surroundings, I'm thinking this question of which group you self-identify as may lead to the source of our mutual misunderstandings.

You are quite the romantic, ma'am! But I think you confuse genetic and memetic distribution. You're as human as anyone, just a carrier of a particularly invective memeplex. It's fortunately not a particularly virulent one. I do hope that you are able to shed it soon, and safely. Autotoxicity is very common with that sort of structure. Best of luck.
