So, which do you think Sanxing were, Miz? Kids or cripples?

Do go on.

For the first time since I started the conversation, he looks me dead in the eye. In his gaze are steel jackhammers, quiet vengeance, a hundred thousand orbital bombs frozen in still life.

Probably the kid then, cripple now. We'll see if they'll let this be a learning experience or a death knell.

Both then. Interesting.

You're the only person using the word eviction here. Does PL call it an Invasion every time they want a fight with another group?



Is this coming from the group that deployed a four (or was it five?) corporation war against a single target for the concept of a perceived threat under the rationale of "take no chances"? Or just you?

I don't care what you think, as long as it's about me.

Oh dear, it looks like someone has sprung a leak.

Careful with that. I did exactly that and now, apparently, I am a very mean man who doesn't care about baseliners. (You know, except for all the humanitarian work the Tuulinen Foundation does and has done.)


Aww, did the widdle hisec beaws scare you?

If a child or cripple comes waving their fist at me, would you think me justified if I started pounding on them? Maybe it'd be okay because I do humanitarian work? I mean, the two surely cancel each other out, somehow?

You're not going to be able to make your actions justified no matter how hard you pretend this was proportionate response.


Miz, we both know considering our shared employment past that Mercenary work needs no justification and can be a lonely existence, where your word is a precious asset and your comrades are everything. Proportionality is not ever a factor.

As MC say 'It's about the person next to you'. Or as Ushra'Khan say 'We come for our people'. (My bid for an MITG one is 'If you mess with PYRE you get burned!')

Whether it is a high sec humanitarian organisation that took a vow of non-violence or hardened pirates, you do as you are hired to or if you mess with one of our few friends, if we can hurt you for it we will. We need no further justification. Neither do you in your current profession.

This set of circumstances is exactly the same as the wreckage MC leaves in its wake after each contract, to your client it's a job well done, to your pilots it's the satisfaction of a successful operation, to observers it is a calling card and an advert, to the target and their friends it's deeply unfair and you are monsters for crushing them for something as crass as ISK or honour.

That is all the justification we need.

So it was done for honor of someone else, but not really, because you felt threatened, but also not really, again, because it really wasn't that bad and Sanxing should just look up and keep going, but not really, because you actually did it because you wanted to and don't need a reason?


EDIT -- Where's my thinking emoji?

Great. I was there for a friend. Could have been a good fight, ended up as a no-show. That's how it goes.
That aside, fly deadly and so on.

Things seem adequately explained to me, your grief will pass and you will feel better soon.

The sandbags have been filled and stacked in a pyramid in Asakai in a certain place I've found the most... suitable for them. You can inspect them at any point you'd like. I'd recommend to hurry though as the owner might not like their presence.
