Intergalactic Summit

Should those involved in this merciful act be minded to further that mercy and allow these unfortunates their deserved freedom, I can offer immediate employment for up to 2,000 on the Kinnison Estates. As part of our vineyard or dairy teams, they would receive excellent wages, residential accommodation with free access to all leisure facilities (including medical care), training and development as well as access to a network of other agricultural corporations in our immediate constellation, should they wish to move on at some point.

Several of our fellow ranchers and farmers have agreed to make the same offer - it's coming up to harvest on many planets here in Solitude, but it should be noted these are all offers of long-term employment, not seasonal - so I believe this community can provide just over 34,000 places of safety. Much of the workforce is Minmatar, and many, many freed and escaped ex-slaves, so there will be lots of cultural and spiritual support.

Many may well be already experienced in this sort of work as there is little surface difference between our operations and those of best-in-class colleague producers in Khanid and Tash-Murkon. The most profitable and enlightened Holders treat their slaves with dignity and almost as kindly as we do our workforce. Save of course, that our workers are paid well, and free to leave as they will.

Well done to those destroying the tower - a stout effort.

Maybe we should make a standard time unit equal to time frame between Nauplius tower becoming operational and Nauplius tower becoming nonoperational.

I feel really better knowing that this sort of inhuman perversion and savagery is no more. And I congratulate and send my thanks to our allies and everyone who participated in this operation.

I was surprised to see the diversity of peoples showed up to the tower. And I find it amusing that not just "Doctor" Frenjo Borkstar has joined the operation, but even as infamous person as "Liar Knight" Steffanie Saissore herself.

Mr. Nauplius, you really can spark unusual sides in peoples, even in this pair of Ms. Saissore and Mr. Borkstar.

Anyway, disregarding what you have done before, I'd like to say thanks even to these two infamous individuals.

Good job.

From what you've been told.

Toil, hard word, dedication. Yes, these are important. Abuse, neglect and maltreatment aren't. We live in a modern era. In my opinion, an owner who has to resort to physical abuse to "break" their controlled personnel isn't much of a Holder, or a human. They are certainly not following the Will of God.

"As Garrulor rules the skies; as Frisceas rules the sea;
As Emperor rules Holder; as Holder rules Serf;
Yet all under Heaven serve Me;
So shall Amarr rule the worlds of the Heavens."
- The Scriptures, Book of Reclaiming 3.19 - 3.21

It is about developing an order whereby all serves one higher upwards unto God.

Some do resort to the lash. The stupid. The inexperienced. The heretical. These are the ones who abuse those under them and hide behind Scripture as if it absolves them of it. But as the Empress said, that which you give to the Empire will be given back unto you. If you give the Empire a broken and abused slave, you in turn will be equally broken. But if you shepherd your people, gently, wisely, using modern, humane techniques, then you, in turn will be guided to the path of Salvation. We all serve, we all toil and together we all achieve God's grace.

A person who is cowed by fear and hatred cannot make a true decision as to the state of their soul. One cannot make an honest dedication to God if one is under duress. Remove the things that make them hate, remove the pain, concentrate on the work...yes, this makes us all proper servants.

Yes. By individuals ranging from clergy to former slaves. Even if you forego the lash in a physical sense, enslavement and forced labor is no less a tool for forced conversion.

If you truly have faith, and truly believe your Scriptures are self-evidently holy and true, then you should need nothing else to Reclaim - merely share the holy word, and the unbelievers will have no choice but to recognize the truths you say are there.

If you cannot do that, then my earlier statement stands: you believe God cannot sway the masses, but that you can do what he cannot.

I can provide a small aid package for survivors, if needed. I would need a corp to receive the contract and a station for delivery.

"Also: Bwahahaha!"


Aaaaand, my sense of you as a person who might actually be doing awful things out of some (severely) misguided sense of actual spiritual responsibility just went out the airlock.

Maybe we can find a jump bridge for you to hide under.

Again, from what you have been told. Not what you have experienced.

Forced coercion is what it appears to be if you are an outsider. A symbiotic and mutually beneficial relationship on multiple levels is how it feels on the inside.

In many cases, the Word is enough. In others, not so much. The Path of Servitude is a path for all to serve God. And we are God's instrument in this. What lesson would we learn, what lesson would those who serve us and those we serve learn if God just simply made us all automatons?

Why not give it a try? I can make for you a short-term six month contract. Come work for me and see the benefits. Or better yet, I'll sell you some slaves. Some trained and some untrained. You spend the next six months finding humane but effective ways of training them while caring for the others. You spend six months being responsible for them. Make their spirituality important. Once the contract is over, we can talk again. I'd be willing to bet either experience would give you a new perspective on the subject.

Del.
Good luck to all.

Any gender segregation in any topic other than marriage (and thus reproduction) is a perversion worth only gallentean subhumans.

They are as human as we are, Ms. Kim, the Intaki have even taken our side.

Some of them, anyway.
I have a hatred of the Federation too, but I would not call them subhumans. Some are monsters, yes, but not all.
