[[ Camera drone shows smoldering ruins of a colony, opened up like petals from inside and eviscerated metal buildings, burnt bodies scattered on covered with rubble and snow road. Caldari personnel are pulling away survivors in orange uniforms with tired faces, bearing evidences of beating and abusive treatment. ]]

There was a thriving Caldari mining colony before they have arrived and turned it into their prison. And we came to save prisoners. But what would you think have caused all this damage? There wasn't orbital bombardment. Wasn't even shelling of the installation. It was blown up from inside. Besides new prison blocks that they have erected, there were still parts of old mining infrastructure, that was struggling to make profit. There was personnel... was, before they decided to blow them up, killing unarmed men, women and children.

Not all charges went off and some captives from the prison blocks were saved, but not from the old colony. We didn't even know they were holding Caldari colonists as hostages... and there were no survivors among them.

If you think that gallenteans will treat us fairly you are lying to yourselves.
If you think you can negotiate with them, you will just let them backstab you.
We have learned who they are, and we know what they are doing.
And we must FIGHT BACK.

This has happened because we allowed them to take the system back then.
This has happened because we didn't clear them our after we have liberated system from their occupation.
This has happened because we didn't send enough ships here, or enough soldiers.

They were our people, and they were YOUR people, people whom we swore to protect. Whom we swore to give our lives for, and now they are dead... and we aren't. So tell me, where was YOU, when gallente were occupying our systems? Where was YOU, when they were killing our colonists?...

You could have saved a million of lives. Or maybe a thousand, a hundred. Or just one life, but that could be so precious to you and would mean more than the all the worlds and suns together.

And all you had to do..
is to
STAND UP
AND FIGHT!

It is the worst kind of desperation to fabricate stories in order to validate your own prejudices.

Lemme paraphrase that/anything Diana Kim posts real quick:

Something something Gas the Gallente Race War Now Something Something.

You should leave the propaganda to Nugoeihuvi. Their production values are way better.

Sad indeed.

To watch a once proud, if wrongheaded zealot, reduced to fabricating shallow lies.

Mademoiselle Kim I enjoyed our brief conversations, you are better than this.

Shallow lie is a claim that gallenteans don't blow up their prisons when they are attacked.

And what is really sad, every capsuleer who can operate their ship can see it for themselves. Why are you even trying, gallentean?!

Explosives based on a Nova warhead would've left a bit more of a mess. For a clean, nice cut with less collateral damage you're looking at Scourge type, mostly kinetic.

That said, with the blueprints readily available for warheads, one could build any type for something like that. Though, have to admit, a bit more incineration would've made this footage actually a tad more convincing.

I'm wondering why they bothered with explosives when all they would need to do is load the prisoners onto a transport and dump them in deep space somewhere. No mess, no fuss, no evidence. Make me wonder about the truth of this story to say the least.

This also begs the question that if the prisoners were simply going to be executed in such a manner why take them prisoner at all? I think I smell rose fertilizer wafting through the air-con...

Diana Kim says/does something stupid.
Usual suspects arrive in swift fashion to mock, taunt and/or express outrage.
Nothing changes.

It might be time to change your method of approach or, indeed, to stop approaching at all.

Ms Kim,

I suggest if you truly do have such evidence of crimes that you deliver this to the appropriate authorities. I'm pretty sure they would take a very dim view of the summary execution of prisoners. If this were found to be the case I would happily fly alongside you to hunt the perpetrators down and deliver them to the authorities for trial and punishment.

Providing such 'evidence' here is quite frankly pointless and a waste of comms bandwidth.
