Intergalactic Summit

The adoption papers have already been processed by the Bleeders of the Blood Raider Covenant. So by Covenant law, yes, you are our daughter.

To clarify, I was speaking in general terms, not specifically making an assumption about you and your motives. There are many individuals that are happy to throw money at a situation because they are unwilling to admit the problem is not worth their time. It makes them feel better about it.




The question lacks the context of how we are acquiring these slaves, but it does state that they are already slaves. I would have not taken anything from them that they had not already lost, I would simply be offering them a way out by becoming productive members of society, a much better solution than throwing a lot of money at them and encouraging them to do absolutely nothing productive for the rest of their lives.

In fact the question does not even specify the condition of the stock, its health or education. My stock would be trained, educated and given a proper basis for continuing life. You would be potentially releasing uneducated masses with a lot of money into society, and you don't see a problem with that? Please don't try to take the moral high ground when you don't properly think through the situation.

We cultivate weakness in the name of doing 'good' and ultimately harm ourselves because of it. Why tolerate those that refuse to use life as it is given to them? That refuse to strive to be the best human they can be? I'm not saying slaughter them all, I'm not Naup, I am simply saying that those who refuse, or lack the will to contribute have no place in this society.




Learning when and where to delegate resources is a very useful trait. Without going too in depth, as you clearly have limited time, I will simply say that I assign tasks to those in my employ and usually only make the top level decisions. It does not take too much effort to tell someone to go and formulate a plan to deal with the problem and report back. Of course you could say that it does indeed leave room for corruption, or that I am simply throwing money at the situation myself, but I consider the processing and education of the stock to ensure they become productive members of society once freed to be extremely far removed from making them rich and releasing them instantly. I also find it important enough that I am willing to put aside at least a small amount of time to ensure the process is done correctly, or barring that, that the stock are transferred to somebody I trust that does have the time.

I realize that you are Minmatar and that the subject of slaves may be a sensitive one, but try not to take my opinion as a judgement on your time or abilities, I was simply disagreeing with your thought process.

I can only go off the things you write. If you fail to, or cannot be bothered to explain your thoughts in more detail then I can only come to my own assumptions based on your words.

The question was, what would you do if you were handed 40,000 slaves and so far the only responses you have managed to convey is 'Give them a lot of money and tell them to have fun.' with a complete disregard for the effects that would have on them. Surely you are not suggesting that no education is better? Or perhaps you have concocted your own ideas for what the quality of the education I would provide for them would be.

You claim to care about their rights and freedom and then show a complete lack of concern for what happens to them afterwards.



Pretend for a moment that you own a zoo. You have an animal raised completely in captivity, where food and water are provided, where shelter is provided, where enrichment is provided. You then release this animal into the wild, into an environment it is unfamiliar with, tell it to learn to hunt, learn to socialize, learn to survive. You know what happens to those animals? Most of them die. That's why we don't do that.

Slaves often come from a world far different to ours. They have little experience in the way the outside world works and it is our responsibility to ensure they have a good chance of surviving before releasing them to it. It is the same reason we keep a watch on the mentally unstable or suicidal. Because as much as you think they deserve freedom, granting it to them is dangerous for not only themselves, but others.

Alas I feel this discussion will get us nowhere, so while I appreciate your moral idealism, I still believe that your approach is simply not a practical one. Sometimes logic must override emotion, however distasteful it appears.

Ooh! Ooh! I know this one, I know this one!

If I was given forty thousand slaves, I'd do the exact same thing I did last time Mister Nauplius gave me a bunch of slaves! I would make their lives better with the power of science! Those who volunteer would be subject to my super harmless experiments, and everyone else would be shaped into cybernetically enhanced valuable members of society with the help of my corporate partners!

Then everyone would put bounties on my head because I am clearly evil, specialy when I'm doing good! I like bounties.

The routine is troublesome and all too common, Mlle Haritimado.

Housing, counseling, education, social integration. Eventually employment and sponsorship for citizen status, should it be desired.

I may not support all the beliefs of the Sisters, but working with them has at least given me the means to provide these things for peoples less fortunate.

That or its pretty obvious what he would do and isn't chiming in on what is essentially his job....

I told these demagogues just that and I was accused of not opperating within State law, Commander. By a Goon no less. Furthermore, they took exception in my call to dispose the slaves and prevent their potential enlistment in the Gallentean forces in my inability to turn them in to a responsible Empire organization.

Of course Commander. Their execution would only come as last resort. I'd take full responsibility if internal affairs were to determine my actions as unlawful and against State interests. Just as I would do anything in my power to avoid partake in illegal human trafficing within our borders.

This is a very gray area of due process, Commander. Thank you for your input, I'll take it to heart.

You don't sound like someone that should be working for Lady Aspenstar, Miss Runekin.

You should do that all the time! Even when you're playing make belief! That's what good people do.

Getting freebies from the Quafe factory? That is just deplorable!
