116 living persons; men, women, and children, were rescued tonight from two jet cans. They were swiftly transported to our Matriculation Center #2 and the residents there began the process of welcoming them, feeding them, tending to their medical needs, calming their anxieties, and helping them to settle in. Elder Gladius has requested that we set up an additional Center soon, as the numbers are increasing, especially at Center #2. We are considering two other locations presently and may be sending representatives to those stations to prepare space. I was able to rescue all 116 in one trip. I would like to encourage Ston to train skills so he can fly larger ships. This operation went smootlhy and quickly partly due to the size cargo bay I had on the Procurer.

May shame come upon the following two pilots:

Urmass Ottig, you left 49 people to die in space. You are of the Brutor Tribe, how could you do such a thing to your own brothers. Does the Republic University condone such dastardly actions on the part of its members?

Xara Fabiene, you left 67 people to die in space. You are Achura. I have come to expect better from that designation. (Corp: Interminatus)

We have opened our third Matriculation center. At this time we have capable leaders directing the new community. Each Center will take new members on the basis of proximity to the rescue site. This way, rescues can be as efficient as possible. I have put my other goals on hold for a while so I can work with the Disciples on this. I believe in this work.

An interesting rescue occurred today. I was able to rescue 17 slaves. As has happened once before, the pilot apparently had an insurrection on his hands and Jettisoned 5 slave traders and 7 slaver hounds with the slaves. It must be a more common occurrence than meets the eye that slaver hounds are befriended by slaves. Such was the case here again. This rescue took place just before I needed to head over to Piekura for business, so I took the Slave traders on over to Korama to be kept at our detention center there.

We have completed the setup on our third Matriculation Center. Ston will serve Center #1, Edaine will serve Center #2 and I will serve Center #3. Ston will serve the smallest of the three centers per his request. All of us will come under the direction of the Elders and will serve to supply the centers with requested materials, transport residents to and from the centers per their request, and engage in continued rescue ops. Our duties will include purchasing necessary materials and hiring any outside professionals needed to adequately serve the communities.

We have placed the Planetary colony idea on hold but have not given up hope that someday we can establish it fully. For now, only very small numbers can be transported to planetary surfaces and only very secretly.

Once we have all three Centers up and under the administration of the Elders, we will try to conduct a census and report the data here.

We continue to request that Governmental authorities provide a means to change the legal status of these rescued individuals to that of citizen.

36 former slaves were rescued this morning from the cold of space. They join the community in Center #3 and begin their jhourney into freedom, such as it is. The Disciples of Ston are more frustrated with the limitations placed upon former slaves than the former slaves are. They are such thankful people. It reminds me of how I felt when I was first free. I need to reclaim that simple satisfaction again.

While I do not mean to type cast anyone, I had been told that Gallenteans value personal freedom and oppose slavery. Why then do Gallenteans tolerate the slave trader woman Elisa Boirelle? It saddens me that someone would just eject 36 people into space and leave them to die. Your place on the wall of shame is deserved.

Another rescue of 10 former slaves this afternoon. Unfortunately, I was unable to get the pilot's name. I was targeted by what is termed in the vernacular a "suicide ganker." I quickly rescued the people and warped out. I was able to get the corporation name from the aggression timer, however. These were very frightened souls who were close to death. And the dispatch withwhich we had to escape the scene didn't help their anxiety. They are being well-cared for at the center.

Gah, galnet really needs to get its act together, I lost a rather large post... so ill make a bulleted form.


Normally I don't bother resucing crew from sansha ships since they are just mindless.

Recently I have had a group of my loyal servants abducted by Sansha slavers.

Now I'm interested in the idea of processing them to recover those captured by Sansha forces, but don't have the resources myself nor the time.

I'm wondering if I where to start rescuing sansha crew would you be able to properly handle them.

End of line...

will edit later to recover losses.

I think that I am probably the one to handle this question. When we started this work, I contacted a friend in Couster who is a biotech expert and asked him about medical issues with former slaves with implants and other cerebral control devices. He said that technology exists to restore most function in most cases. I asked if he would be willing to assist the Disciples if such a need arose. The good Dr. answered, yes. We are prepared to do our very best to receive and help any Sansha crews you may rescue, Ms. Goldcore. I will contact Dr. Pimmere and have him prepare his equipment. Let us know when and where we can help. Thank you, Ms. Goldcore.

P.S. I heard about Tobias. We are all sad. But, we are also thankful for your kindness.

Sincerely,

I am very excited to report that I was able to rescue 25 former slaves this afternoon. I happened to be picking up minerals with the Iteron V that I call "Freedom Train." When the former slaves saw this, they erupted into applause. I asked how they knew I wasn't just another slave trader. One of them responded that they had heard rumors of such rescues occurring but never dreamed they would survive and be rescued themselves. Makes the eyes to water just a bit.

The wall of shame is especially distressing tonight. I asked the mostly Brutor group of survivors about the slave trader. They bristled with anger. "He is not of our tribe!" Those were their simple words.

Just a note: This Brutor had the words "yes I will" as his bio. Indeed, this man will stoop to the lowest, most cowardly acts imaginable. Shame on Urban Juror a man without honor.

A PUBLIC THANK YOU

Sometimes things just work very quickly for good ends. We live in a universe where death happens in a blink and where destruction happens in a flash. Tonight, a good thing happened very quickly. I was working in Jita on our clone body return project when I received a mail from a pilot. He said that he had rescued some slaves and wanted them to have the opportunity to be part of our matriculation program. I happened to know that Manwe was close to his location, so I sent him a message to head on over. I just receive confirmation from Manwe that 30 former slaves are no en-route to one of our Matriculation Centers. He said that the transfer went very quickly and that the pilot was courteous and professional.

The Disciples of Ston would like to publicly thank pilot Mosfieri. You are a friend of freedom and a friend of mercy, Mosfieri. The former slaves who received your help will not soon forget your name.

The Disciples of Ston bid you peace

Rescued 10 former slaves this afternoon. They were cold. When we returned to the center, blankets were given along a hot meal and clean, warm clothing.

Imagine if you will a Minmatar flying through Amarr space with slaves and getting to the Caldari border. Now, instead of backtracking and finding a station to drop them off in, he dumps them in space to die; his own brothers and sisters. What cowardice! What utter lack of moral fibre! Deep shame be upon pilot Wulfbane, a man without honor.

You know what would make for an entertaining drinking game?

Every time someone uses the word "Slave" on this here Galnet, someone should go to Amarr, buy 10 slaves, put them in a container, and then destroy said container, then take a large swig of your personal favorite alcoholic beverage.

If there is a God, and lets be honest, I have some serious doubts on that score, maybe then he might shut up the endless gurning around here of slave this and slave that and rebel this and slaver that.

You're capsuleers. The elite immortals on the verse. Try to remember that. Squabbling over the planet-bound ants doesn't become us.

Tonight a total of 213 brave souls were rescued from the cowardice of so-called "elite immortals" whose moral idiocy and greed exceed all bounds. I found myself hindered by my own lack of experienced and succumbed to what both Manwe and Ston have described as adrenaline limitations. I was in my Procurer when I came upon the first container with 203 souls aboard. I had room for only 200. After bringing them to the center, I wanted speed, so I took my shuttle. That was stupid, because I had room for only two passengers and there were three to pick up. The one who I had to leave until last was the eldest among the group and his name is Feanor. I later found out that he is the brother of Gladius, who is currently administrating all our Matriculation operations. Tomorrow they will reunite.

The second container was discovered on the last trip to pick up Feanor. I was in the shuttle and didn't have room again. In my anxiety, I accidentally closed out the data window with the pilot's name, but got the Corp from the aggression timer. The corp is only a two member corp, but the CEO isn't the pilot who jettisoned the people.

I am just glad, no one was lost in my string of errors. All 213 brave souls made it to the center. As for the "Elite Immortal Cowards" who left these brave human souls to die, enjoy your arrogance and self-importance, because that is all your character consists of.

I don't know if you already take advantage of this, but even a shuttle is able to create fresh containers. so if you come across a container with more than you can fit in it, you can simply take a few and then produce a new container. This way you can be certain how long they will last and don't need to worry if the last one will survive.

I wish you luck in your endeavors.

I also pray you don't take this hideous act as a standard slaving practice. Its illegal and amoral in almost every way. Those who do this deserve their spot on your wall of shame.

Thank you Ms. Goldcore. I remember that trick, but sometimes forget it in the stress of the moment.

33 former slaves were rescued this morning and safely brought to the center. Gladius and Feanor the Elders had a marvelous reunion and are now teaming up on administrating the centers as the number of matriculants grows.

A good day, but a strange day. I rescued a total of 72 former slaves today in two separate operations. They are settling in in our Matriculation program and enjoying their first hours of freedom. We also rescued some other very interesting passengers who are being interviewed before being released. When I have information, I will tell the whole story. For now, I'll just say that we also rescued 20 Caldari Light Marines, 10 Janitors, and 8 more slaver hounds. We are trying to determine why the pilot just dumped them into space and left them to die. Only the former slaves are illegal to transport through free space; why would a pilot want to let Marines or Janitors die in space. It makes no sense. We are hoping that a few interviews will clear up the issue. The First rescue was of 59 souls and the second beside the interesting "cargo" was 13 brave souls.

Manwe will be serving the Center that Gladius is primarily responsible for and I will be serving the center that Feanor will be taking over management of. This is the arrangement for the time being anyway.

Upon completion of several interviews including those with former slaves, Light Marines, and Janitors, we have come to a disturbing preliminary conclusion regarding last night unusual rescue op. Apparently, the pilot ejected all his passengers to "make room" for loot that he wanted at the border.

Inhuman.

Another 40 former slaves were rescued by good pilot Mosfieri and transferred to the care of the Disciples today. Thank you Mosfieri. We also rescued 24 former slaves and captured 3 slave traders that had the misfortune of being jettisoned by the same greedy pilot. The 24 were welcomed by Gladius and the crew and the slave traders were taken to temporarydetention until they can be transfered to Korama to our more permanent detention facility.

We now have the means to begin transporting former slaves into State, Federation, and Republic space via covert means. We will not begin immediately as I need to test equipment and figure out what to expect and get comfortable using it. We will start with one transport and them move on from there. It is likely that our first transports will involve reuniting former slaves with families that live on stations in Republic space.

If only the State, Republic, and Federation would provide a means to change the legal status of these people from slave to free person, then every one could move about safely. But the governments have their heads up their poop shoots.
