Intergalactic Summit

I have to say, this saddens me greatly. While i respect the decision made and the reasons behind it, I don't believe it was the right one.

We've now shown that coercion and manipulation through the threatening of innocents is a tolerable means of dealing with situations.

CONCORD needs a drastic revision of policy. I hope the Empires take the P.P.C documents seriously and that they will pave the way for positive change.

You can't blame the man. Concord's threat was a serious embuggerance and irritation, but the Empire threatened to strip his title and holdings. Can you imagine what would have happened to his House under those circumstances?

He was thinking of his people, not his pride, and that's never something for which a person should be castigated.

As I said, I respect the decision made and the reasons behind it, although I was not actually aware they had threatened to strip his title and holdings.

I find it most alarming that CONCORD would go to these measures, and even more so that the Amarr support this by threatening such things, especially after releasing the shield tech. Rather hypocritical don't you think?

CONCORD more concerned over burying a piece of brain (so we're told) than an Empire breaking treaties and releasing powerful technology. What a time we live in.

We'll have to see if CONCORD does the honorable thing and reverses their heavy handed tactics and threats of negative security status and so forth.

Personally I don't trust them a lick.

It is disgusting that CONCORD would act in this way. Taking the remains of such a brilliant scientist from those who would be the only ones likely to handle the remains with respect and offer the man the dignity he deserves.

I agree with others, hopefully CONCORD is transparent about their intentions, but let's face it pilots. CONCORD has never been transparent, and will never be transparent about their intentions. Resorting to bullying and Threats.

I only wish such an ugly situation could have been avoided.

The next time someone gets their hands on something that CONCORD wants, I am sure that GSF would be willing to take it for safe keeping. (I am not a diplo, though.)

Lord Raholan I am glad that you and yours will remain safe and not becomes fugitives, but I have to also side with Mynxee and Ms. Sahriah. While I would like to believe that CONCORD has our best interests at heart I cannot help but wonder.

I do hope you know, as Mynxee stated, it was hotly debated within our divisions, and while we strive to maintain the highest level of neutrality, we will always be available as scouts, researchers, etc for you and yours just as much as we are for CONCORD.

When CONCORD demanded Sleeper components with no risk, fools gave, despite a third-party option that would have held them to account. CONCORD benefited and yet kept us in the dark.

We still have not been told why the Sleeper component drive was truly required for the Tech 3 Destroyers, or what connection it had to Thera. We still have not been told of what CONCORD knew of the Sisters involvement and their doings while hiding there. We have not been told in any way why the Society of Conscious Thought was invited to the Inner Circle discussions, yet Eifyr & Co. was not, nor were the facts ever released.

And what have we gained? Drifters. Maybe that's a good trade.

When they offered bounties of unheard levels on four capsuleers - something that was not done even for Tibus Heth himself, a true menace to the stability of New Eden - you caved, and Korachi gloats while you give away your independence and the sovereignty of the individual empires. And do you think we will truly get the full story of what they were looking for so urgently? I think we all know that answer.

You had offers of safe harbor, financial support, and the moral high ground. But I guess the threat of title revocation and a bumpy ride to a CONCORD-free clone vat was too unpalatable. A price too high for freedom. Another small step on the path to your "Empress" being simply too weak to do anything but bend the knee herself to the "greater good".

Too many in this discussion embrace the slow death of 1000 cuts. You are immortal, you are empowered, yet you cower before an organization that has outlived its usefulness, its sponsorship, and its charter. The light of Caroline's Star has heralded a new age, and it is time to embrace it.

I am a Lord of Anoikis, as are all in Bob's grace. The Mittani could crush one of the old Empires with barely a pause if he chose to do so. The future is not beneath the cloak of blindness CONCORD throws over you.

Yet you chose to be a beholden Holder. Or whatever CONCORD might title you now that you are properly subservient.

Next time, nobody is going to know about it.

The Ishukone-Raata Enforcement Directive would like to commend Lord Lucas Raholan on his choice to submit to the lawful demands of CONCORD.

I wish to personally convey my thanks for taking the logical course of action on a matter that would have brought harm to relations between several like-minded organizations and degraded the merits of other individuals. Rikaato.
