Intergalactic Summit

I had a crew chief once who claimed that, but he was talking more about how hard it was to keep that hangar queen properly operational between missions.

@OP:

I am Caldari, but I fly everything. Captured pirate hulls, Empire hulls, Navy hulls, mining hulls, even a few special edition hulls. I like variety.

I'm well aware of what business dealings we've had with TSF. They gave us a free POCO once. It was empty.

Oh, and before my time in I-RED, TSF once discussed purchasing TCMCs from I-RED, but we never sold any to them.

We've never given them blue standings, shared drinks with them*, and handed over enemy POWs to them. We haven't bragging about it either. If anything, we regret any dealings we've ever had. Your decision to blue TSF happened under your Diplomatic Administration (you resigned afterwards, not before), and it was defended by you multiple times, including this time.

You "resigned your commission"? Don't make me laugh. It's a bluff. Nothing's changed, Pieter. You still fly for them, you still sleep with them, you still drink with them and defend them. Apparently, you're proud of the TSF deal, since you decided to bring it up again as a boast and threat on page one.

You tried to tell me how much you hated the idea. You tried to tell me how against the whole concept you were. You tried to tell me this because you wanted to continue visiting my partner and daughter. I was wrong to believe you, I guess, since here you are a couple months later.

You're proud of it. You like it. You're enjoying working with TSF.

Just admit it.

* Worth noting that I did allow Drake into my bar for a few months while I attempted to see if there was any value in capturing and vivisecting his body. Turns out he wasn't hiding any implants of value, so I made sure he wasn't allowed back in anymore.

Oh, so you have had dealings with Nation, then? Thanks for publicly admitting the extent of your hypocrisy - since you've admitted receiving favours from them, does it really matter that you did so while holding your nose?

I've flown with them once, perhaps twice. I have helped process some of the recovered prisoners we've received to make sure there were no implanted surprises lurking. Actually they were a pleasure to fly with - focused, professional and above all competent at what they do. I might not enjoy who they are or what they believe, but I DID enjoy flying with them, in the same way anyone would enjoy flying with a competent ally.

I also didn't enjoy defending the deal, but it was my job to do so, and I did it until I resigned those duties. I did counsel against the deal - strenuously - and my advice was ignored. Exactly as I told you. Exactly as occurred.

What any of this has to do with looking forward to the utter de-humanisation of men who beat Caldari POWs for fun, I don't know - except that once again it exposes your mania for attacking other Caldari in your holy quest to make Ishukone look good. At any cost. In any fashion. No bridge you won't burn to the ground in order to win a cheap point. No confidence you won't betray to make you or your organisation look better.

You're damaged goods, Oniseki. How you ever made it through screening without them noticing your enormous psychological flaws is beyond me.

Tuulinen, it's interesting how you compare flying with and swapping prisoners with an organization with receiving a single piece of orbital infrastructure. You're desperate to bring us down your level, it seems.

Interesting thing, that PYRE personnel stopped wearing State uniforms after being confronted about their collusion with a known enemy of humanity.

Oniseki-Charantes-haani, may I ask you to step away from this discussion for a while? Let us speak of this in private, please.

You mean a freighter sized piece of orbital infrastructure and technology who's material worth and potential for profit out strips the value of the men and women who have exchanged hands between the Foundations and the Defense Combine? That orbital infrastructure?

You're right, it's wrong to compare us giving I-RED something of great value for free with us trading with the Defense Combine small units at equal value.

And for the record in the thread I fly a mixture of Caldari and Gallente hulls. Caldari for fun, Gallente for business. With a smattering of Amarrian hulls for pleasure.

I have a special place in my heart for rail guns. Other weapon systems certainly have their charms, but rails are the ones that feel right for me.

I also put a lot of stock in a good, thick layer of shields... but sadly, the Caldari Navy run short on variety, so I end up flying a lot of Gallente hulls as well.

I know people who felt similarly over the Coelli debacle. I remember sending a message of sympathy and support.

I'll just bear it in mind the next time she's hemorrhaging about the Republics latest self-inflicted **** up. I'll look for you tomorrow, Pieter.
