Stormcrows: Killers of 2034 Slaves

I am less alone in the mass killing of filthy Minmatar subhuman slaves than I was yesterday.

On 2014.08.12 at 21:55 in the Mehatoor system a small fleet belonging to the Stormcrows corporation destroyed an unarmed, harmless Bestower piloted by myself and carrying 4,034 Slaves. 2,034 Slaves perished.

When I reported this shocking event to the Summit channel, I was met with not only indifference but vigorous defense of the Stormcrows' actions. To those of you who consider me a monster I offer this quote of unknown origin: "When you stare into the abyss, the abyss stares back at you."

Mr. Nauplius, I suppose you were just taking them all out for a joy ride and then tea and scones at the Station?

What a Hobson’s choice. While it is tragic that 2,034 perished, the full story appears to be that another 2,000 survived and were recovered- not to be "splattered" or 'blooded" - but to live another day. Without timely intervention, there is little doubt that the 2,000 would have joined the ranks of the hundreds of thousands of non-combatant baseliners who have met their untimely end at your hands.

Perhaps you can avoid further tragic, but necessary choices, by ceasing your heretical and in-humane activities?

I must mirror Frau Aspenstar's stance on this matter. Clearly this valiant corporation suceeded in sabotaging your efforts of mass genocide at a steep price. Steep, but well payed, for a monster such as you, Herr Nauplius, with a body count that dwarfs the Federation's stock clone reserve for a year's worth of planetside combat, it would take a thousand Bestowers to match to the horrors you inflict to the Minmatar

I was debriefed to full extent of your misatropic malice and it saddens me that the only tragedy about this chain of events was the fact that fate wouldn't allow more lives to be saved from your clutches.

So what you're saying is that Stormcrows saved 2,000 slaves? Maybe they can get titles from the Republic too.

For the first time since I started the conversation, he looks me dead in the eye. In his gaze are steel jackhammers, quiet vengeance, a hundred thousand orbital bombs frozen in still life.

Considering you would have killed them all anyways, I have to see this as glass-half-full.

Heh. Good attempt at making it seem very grey. The world's a ****** place to be an unempowered person, eh?

The price of war. Best get drunk while paying it. Sober there's no solid chance you'dbe ablte to stomach it.

During combat, a few had to be sacrificed for the benefit of many. I know that, the Republic knows that (refer to The Elder War) and I am sure I am not alone to come up with this grim assessment. It is dirty business but the alternative is far worse.

This is par on course for those who are in the business of roving around in heavily armed vessels. We only really start staring at the abyss, as you put it, when we, like you, start *enjoying* killing slaves.

Now shut up and undock more slave-bearing Bestowers for liberation.

If you were truly so concerned Nauplius you'd stop undocking carrying innocents to be used as human shields. Coward.

Sorry but, your thinly veiled attempt to paint Stormcrows as the bad guys here fools no one.

When the world is running down, you make the best of what's still around.

This reminds me of the time one of our ships, coincidentally, also a Bestower, was engaged in Entirely Peaceful search and rescue operations near the Amarr-Caldari border, when we were set upon by unbeliever heretics of the Theology Council, who destroyed the Bestower and killed most of the passengers, before abducting the few survivors and escaping before help arrived.

Seems to me like the 'crows gave freedom to 2000 and mercy to the rest. Being subject to your idea of 'care' is not something I can imagine compares well even with death by explosive decompression or void exposure.

It also isn't news that mercenaries cause casualties.

Hire a better spin doctor, if you can afford the fee they're likely to charge to tolerate your odious presence.

I support miss Aspenstar stance on this.

You have no moral high ground to stand on Mr Nauplius, time over time, people pleaded you to revise your ways or just condemn your actions, even extremists have denounced you.

The moral high ground belongs to Stormcrows in this case. They spared 4034 slaves from a horrific end. 2000 of them are now free from your horrors and can now begin to lead a new life, with professional counceling of course, as they must be horribly scarred by what you did to them.
Remember, Stormcrow are mercenaries, they weren't obliged to save them, but they did it nontheless, an action I praise them for!

It's tragic that 2034 died, but the fate that undoubtedly awaited them at your hands makes their quick deaths in space more acceptable.

This is a preposterous grotesqueness. I congratulate the Stormcrows. Not only for saving the lives of two thousand slaves, but also for driving the heretic into deep despair. There are certain individuals who have claimed in the past that the more we talk about Nauplius’ the more he will enjoy the spotlight. The opposite is true. It is clearly observable, and I couldn’t agree more with Ms Aspenstar and Ms Rella on this matter, that the heretic’s cowardice, the signs of gloom and mirthlessness are on the rise the more public pressure is put upon him. What was already a shadow of his former self, now degrades into a caricature of a shadow and will slowly eat up the rotten remnants of his soul.

Furthermore I offer refuge to the survivors. The Duchy of Palas will happily provide means of labour in the fishing industry to the slaves and the necessary training for doing so. I will also ask our priests to give special care to the spiritual needs of the traumatised and provide them with an environment of tenderness and affection.

Only twisted lunatics like you use the death of people, you would have killed otherwise, to push your own agenda.

4000 humans are free from your demonic sadism. 2000 of them will be free to begin a new life and the remaining half will now wander among their ancestors in the lands beyond - away from any suffering you otherwise claims they would be inflicted.

Why would the Stormcrows want to send the human beings right back to the misery they came from?

I would suggest you to send them to Mrs. Ymladris' colony. It is an ideal place for them to start a new life. Away from lunatic zealots and two-faced duchess.

Depends on who has a fatter purse, and whether the Stormcrows' conscience can be bought.

This would be where I make it known that the slaves are at this time not in the care of Stormcrows.

They are in the care of myself and the medical staff aboard my Orca class vessel Venix

I am looking to repatriate the slaves to the Republic for proper care once the wounded have been treated enough for transport.

Ms Rella, would Gradient be able to help with this?

My facilities and resources are not enough to deal with 2000 slaves with various wounds both physical and otherwise. I've had to have the main cargo hold converted into temporary accommodations and medical centre for them, even enlisting marine medics from the onboard security regiment.
