At the moment your power seems to be inspiring millions to the goal of greater ridicule.

To answer your question, I've heard that the Center For Advanced Studies is pretty feared. Apparently they've been churning out some real wackjobs lately.

Listen, this is going to sound utterly insane, but was one of them a robed and hooded man with the face of a cat who called himself M'aiq?

This is clearly a 'front'...

From my research and growing network of informants I have come to know the monstrosity that is Goonswarm.

Day before yesterday I was invited aboard a star liner where a certain corporation had several kiosks representing all of their various divisions, and I must say a generous selection of coffee, biscuits, and pastries.

After I had gorged myself I began shooting off my mouth about how the kind of work they offered is not a worthy challenge for a promising newcomer of superior heritage. However, if they were into extortion, pirating, theft, and the trade of exotic dancers then I might be more inclined to work with them. The conversation ended shortly thereafter - officially.

As I walked through the docking bay to board my ship and leave I was approached by one of their members who declared that he was working under an alias, and that they did indeed have both an extortion ring, and a high-sec strong-arm division. And he told me to come and find the office nearby - under the name of a mining corporation that avidly recruited new miners....MINERS!!

When I arrived, I was introduced to an unsavory looking lot of slightly older, slightly soft-in-body, men with malicious grins and twinkles in their eyes.

I immediately addressed the gorilla in the room - and pointed out that they obviously recruit miners into their front company with the purpose of extortion, and that since I seemed to be an intelligent and charming conversationalist, that they could use someone with my skills to get 'new recruits'.

They assured me that although they do drain the new miner's account of ISK - they try to leave the victim with a 'warm feeling', and teach them various things to help them be better business people in a cut-throat universe.
"I see, so you **** them gently..." I said. They confirmed this and that they often get repeat customers. And then I was told, that they learned these tricks from members of Goonswarm - unofficially, although they were not directly affiliated with Gooneswarm.

I am not going to say who this corporation is - mainly because they may have their uses later on and I wish to keep an open channel, but I will say that simply buttering up people so that they can be conned in this manner yields no glory, honor, or respect, only ISK, which is why they are fat old men.

So it would seem that Goonswarm spreads their methods across all of new eden with long reaching insectile fingers. From my historical studies of Band of Brothers (Goonswarm's predecessor), they had a slightly different outlook - a beat down the door method of domination. Whereas Goonswarm has no shame in more subtle, insidious methods of gaining domination, such as the implants uncovered by one freedom fighter known as Boadiccea Iceni.

Thus I have quickly learned who the most powerful is, at least on the surface.

However, there exists an extremely honorable and POWERFUL band of pirates, feared by many, and yet who's motley captains (who are half-drunk most of the time on Edenian Star Rum) inspire me to no end - this organization's name starts with a 'T' . Need I say more?

Some of the boosters the OP's on:

I can haz?

I've got a still in my quarters that makes booze strong enough to melt the hull from a Titan. Same effect as a booster, without the annoying side-effects and addictions.

EVE-mail me and I'll send you a bottle.

The lad may be a bit... touched, shall we say... but, he hit the nail right on the head in his assessment of the Goonies. I guess that old saying about a stopped clock being right twice a day hold true here.

Be in touch.
