A new release from FIO confirms a Black Eagle investigation into RP4 and the Kyonoke outbreaks. Full text below.

Quote:
RENYN - The Federal Intelligence office has confirmed rumors circulating in the press that the Special Department of Internal Investigations and Federal Security, also known as the "Black Eagles", is in the midst of an investigation that may link the outbreak of Kyonoke Plague in Postouvin to acts of terrorism in the Federation.

During a statement made to the interstellar press on board FIO Headquarters in Renyn, Thoun Gaterau, Lead Field Agent & Administrator for the Black Eagles, commented that "an investigation is ongoing into the origins of the Kyonoke outbreak In Postouvin, and has been launched to ascertain whether an extremist Caldari Nationalist attack is responsible for the current situation on board the RP4 hemorphite processing platform."

When questioned regarding the nature of the investigation, Gaterau elaborated his belief that "Kyonoke originates on the Caldari side of the border, and until two weeks ago it was a Caldari problem. It does not strike me that the Caldari administration would want to share this problem with the wider cluster given the pathogen's voracious nature, and the certainty of death for anyone who comes into contact with it.

"My personal belief, after exploring the evidence so far with my colleagues, is that an as of yet unknown quantity is involved, and has launched a deliberate attack against the Federation and our allies."

Gaterau deflected further questions regarding the status of those still trapped on board the RP4 mining facility, referring questions to the Senate's Office of Press.


Despite knowing that it wasn't a Caldari State act, and despite the Caldari facing the gravest of the outbreaks, they state that the attack was clearly nationalist in nature.

Nevermind that outbreaks happened in every signatory state.

Maker, but I hate nationalists.

This just in. FIO claims that nothing is their fault and everything is our fault.

I mean, I'm shocked. Shocked I tell you.

You know, I can't help but think rather a lot would be achieved if we could get FIO to share its Postouvin intel with the State Peacekeepers in return for their Myrskaa intel.

Our frigate black box in exchange for their... whatever they have?

Information shared is not information halved and I, for one, don't care if it's bloody Serpentis who cures this thing - so long as it gets cured.

With you on that one, kirjuun.

How many beers do you want to bet on that "someone" being the same "entity" that got, and used, that recording of those Federal senators?

Well, honestly, there are a lot of potential entities that would do such recording.

For instance, it could even be FIO attempting to influence the Federation's response to this crisis.

Consider: when your life, livelihood, and purpose are tied up with paranoia about potential (and often imagined) plots from a given party, you tend to assume all action is a product of that party.

If Federal intelligence services are accustomed to assuming all threats are Caldari, and a Kyonoke outbreak occurs, what option is there but that it's a Caldari plot? It's wonderfully circular logic.

Considering Black Eagles are already known for genocide and torture, terrorism is actually their specialization. There were no Caldari terrorists for about 200 years. While Federals are responsible for: Malkalen, Highlander, genocide in Black Rise, these explosive prisons, where they torture POWs.

Conclusion is pretty much obvious: they say it just to cover themselves and trying to blame others.

A couple of days ago I was almost completely convinced that responsible for outbreak was Angel Cartel, but looking at how gallente swines are squirming I am changing my mind and now think that the outbreak was initiated by Black Eagles.

Honored are the dead, for their legacy guides us.

We didn't read the same release, because I didn't read that anywhere. What they said was that they are investigating IF a Caldari affiliated terrorist group carried out the attack inside Gallente borders. And finding out WHO did it is pretty damn important, as to my knowledge who caused the outbreaks is still, as said in the release "an unknown quantity." Allow me to elaborate - it would be helpful to know if the disease was spread by a number of different disjointed groups or just one, singular group.

Of course, it is painfully obvious to me that someone or something is deliberately flamebaiting the Caldari by making such a remark that even implies that Caldari affiliated extremists could be responsible. Considering how adamantly you, Pieter and Diana have in the past claimed that the Caldari ultra-nationalist terrorists aren't representative of the Caldari as a whole, it sure seems surprisingly easy to rile you up accusing the likes of them. If this is something about the Caldari culture I can't understand then I apologize, but I really couldn't give a **** if someone accused some Minmatar affiliated extremists of terrorism.

It's not so much the accusation, but rather that it's directed to those of us that everyone here should know better about by now. At least, that's my opinion on the matter.

The FIO often deals in the probable, facts being what they are. The old game of what we believe, what we know and what we tell.

Could it be a Federal scheme, it’s possible, but unquestionably not likely, considering the scale of revolution that would herald.

Fascinating indeed, that our State friends are so obstinate in their refusal to even consider the possibility, that it was, what it appears to be.

No wonder then considering the recent past that I have grown to accept as true that the word for peace in the State is seminomas with a lie.

Ha. Ha. Ha.
Like it could cause any revolution.

The basis of the Federation rule is a democracy, and it relies on people's stupidity. They are just like dumb herd of goats follow words of their overlords, swallowing all gallente propaganda as soon as it draws themselves as "right".

You don't even have to go far for examples. Just look at the situation with Gallente prisons in Black Rise. Everyone knows they are there. Everyone can see that the cells blow up if one of them is breached. Everyone knows they torture and starve prisoners of war there.

Well, everyone except gallente, because they were brainwashed to believe that they simply can't do this thing! And what is worse, it extends even to some capsuleers! Every capsuleer has an ability to go there and check it, but noo, some especially dumb ones just keep blindly barking that there's no such thing instead of going there and witnessing it with their own eyes!

Idiocy is the basis of gallente hegemony, ladies and gentlemen.

Precisely.

The State had this pathogen under its control for twenty years. It is not unreasonable to start from the position that State actors may be responsible for trialling its use as a weapon.

And before the "Liberals" start bundling en masse back into the thread to express their mock outrage, consider that this is a nation quite capable of sentencing a city to a slow death from starvation. It's perfectly probable they infected the city to start with, for both experimental and deflective purposes.

Humanity has won its battle. Liberty now has a country.

FIO: "You know, four simultaneous Kyonoke outbreaks are unlikely to be a coincidence or the work of any of the nation states in which they occured."

Bonus points for being the first official agency to actually say so, though.
