Intergalactic Summit

Again, with all due respect neither of you are Amarr, and not of the Faith. We generally respect your opinions, but in the matter of the Amarr Empress, we don't think Gallentean and State interest parties should have the first and absolute say in what is invasive and isn't.

It is troubling to see no reverence or mutual respect for our beliefs. We would never personally insist on doing the same to you or your head of state in a similar situation. It is undiplomatic and disrespectful to insist on inspecting the Empress's remains. That your motives are benevolent is not the point. You are not her family. You are not a representative of the theocratic government of Amarr.

We are surprised there is no ethical tenet for privacy within the bounds of your scientific operation. Do you not consider privacy to be a part of your ethical obligations? Does your "due diligence" require you to roll roughshod over any concerns of privacy and personal sanctity?

Goldfinch, with all due respect in return, I am Ni Kunni and have followed the faith throughout my journeys through Caldari and Gallente space. I want to see the Empress's remains treated with respect as much as you do. If we can successfully find the capsuleer who retrieved her body, I would be happy to directly contact the Sarum family to secure their cooperation. I believe that they, like us, will want her identity verified.

A simple scan of her body and a non-invasive retrieval of her capsuleer implant telemetry data could be vital in countering the Drifter threat, which I believe everyone here, and especially those living in the Empire, will agree is in the Cluster's best interest, but I am willing to concede that point if necessary.

Whoever has it's corpse should dispose of it immediately, in the most brutal way possible. Preferably by giving it to the Circadian Sleepers to have fun experimenting on the evil *****.

To be frank, I'll admit to thinking Goldfinch's demand that we do not so much as verify the identity of the corpse is extreme and unreasonable.

However, to Ashterothi and Phyridian both, I advise this: you must dispense with any notion of scientific inquiry in this case. Our objective must be recovery of her remains, verification that the remains are the Empress's, and then return of those remains to the Empire for interment.

The likelihood that her remains will teach us anything new about the Drifter threat is so low as to be nonexistent, and the insult to the faithful would be considerable.

Frankly, it's not worth doing anything more than verifying that, indeed, the Empress's remains have been recovered.

Wasn't the SoCT scanning the ship for data? We should be after the wreck of the titan.......... Did anyone think to pop an Entosis link on the thing?

In respect for those Amarr who are worried, I have sent the following message to Chamberlain Haromi:

With all due respect, Falls, you're overstating the situation. Some amount of disagreement in acceptable methods should be expected. The desire of the associated parties is not, however, a source of disagreement.

What's more-- net? Tightening? Are you honestly trying to threaten a group seeking to return the Empress's remains to the Empire?

Please excuse the question sir, but I was wondering why insisting on doing that yourselves... and not letting the proper interested do it themselves... ?

Is it a question of trust ?

Lyn, I simply believe that capsuleers are in a better position to negotiate with other capsuleers, as we're quite certain the Empress's remains are currently in empyrean hands. I know many of them might be hesitant to work directly with the Empire or CONCORD, given what happened with Dr. Tukoss.

So we'd like to be a neutral third party in returning the Empress to the Empire. I'm personally also hoping to secure permission for these scans, honestly, because the Drifter threat scares me.

Just so that everyone is aware, the pot is above 10 billion as it is, but I will add yours to the list of commitments.
