Intergalactic Summit

You are never content with the simple answer.

Just because we are born into it does not make it slavery, Holders are born to their stations.

And in the Empire, many slaves are born into their slavery. This somehow makes them... not slaves, apparently.

I already got to the point dear, but I fear while your Kameiras training might have taught you much it failed to inculcate adequate reading comprehension. What you appear to see as a barbed remarks are nothing of the sort for I spare them only for opponents I would consider of intelligence or importance - and in which I consider you having failed both criteria. No barbs but rather what I would say was rather blatant derision. Deserved I would say if only when having read the following:



Because discussion based solely on assumption and not what is said is worthy only of flippant disregard.

Now that said, my curiosity as to the correlations with former Kameiras and their appearing in the Republic has already been satiated by another party with knowledge on the matter. I suppose it really was as simple as it being either those rejected from the program or those with so little Faith in the Empire, so your value has expired.

As for an interest in disenfranchising or harming your reputation in some way, I really wouldn't have much interest since you appear to be more than competent in that regard already.

I knew you were going for option three.
And Veik, you know that slaves cannot read.

But I am glad whoever gave you your (wrong) answer gave you an answer. As weak a premise as that is for you coming here with the intent to start a fight, at least you have that to take back to Black Rise or wherever you live and be content.



You are doing that thing where you jump in others conversations and declare how right you are about something.

Lets call it even so I can drink in peace.

Nonsense. Many are quite literate.

If it was a private conversation, you'd be having it in a private comms channel. The IGS' status as a public discussion forum means that it's not "others' conversation" it's merely a conversation in which I have not yet ventured an opinion.

In any case, it's not about my being right, it's about your being intellectually dishonest. I see bullsh**, I call bullshi**. Harden the frak up.

I have to admit that has always been my assumption. But If you believe otherwise I'm happy to read what you feel their status is.

What I do understand them to be is fanatically loyal to the armed forces of the Empire. So I am a little surprised to know of at least three who are now capsuleers. And who don't fly in service of the Amarr.

I'm sure all of you have your reasons. It just does mean you'll be rather rare specimens.

Makes me wonder how many ex Vaklear capsuleers are out there.

I agree that all Kameiras are slaves: the factors that make them slaves involve more than simply having been born to it.

The definition of "Slave" is not "Inherited a job."

To be fair, it's not necessarily the case that we're batched for a specific vocational endgoal. Many tubechildren are created from the material of two pre-chosen donors and then merely tweaked to remove any undesirable traits.

I... You know, it's tough to explain. The State is, in many respects, as animistic as the Matari Shamans and here we are, probably the least 'natural' human beings apart from the Jove and the True Slaves in the Cluster. Now, I've never been spat at and called an abomination in the State, but I'm sure that me and mine must make some people a little uncomfortable.

The humour is just a way of coping with being different, I guess. It'll all change, for the worst I believe, as the Tubechild program moves out of serial batch production and becomes the province of the incredibly wealthy to engineer the perfect child successors.
