Intergalactic Summit

Since slaves are legal for transport in our space, you don't have to jettison them at checkpoints. They're usually jettisoned when being smuggled through other spaces, which is what they're principally talking about with "death-canning" (I think that's what they call it).

I'm assuming they're more focused on the educational side here. Again, Holders have no reason to jettison their slaves here in our space and, once they're outside our space, they're not considered slaves anymore.

Lady Lushshrek, with all due respect, the Ministry of Internal order has already made clear what the law is concerning non-holder capsuleers in Amarrian space, that is commonfolk capsuleers:

Such are not allowed to own slaves or release them without the MIO or a Holder being involved. they can be sold or bought on the SCC or transported as cargo, but that sinuously inplies nothing more.

A fascinating day and a half it has been. The 70 representatives went on a tour of our Kaap facility, our Yulai facility and our Ation facility before returning to Vashkah. When we arrived back in Vashkah, I had an opportunity to talk with them about what my original contact had claimed. They confirmed as much. They also indicated that they would like to also a facility in Republic space. Their original benefactor told me that he once asked about interest in finding homes for them in the Republic. Apparently there was great hesitation because of the war and their training as dedicated frontline troops for the Empire. My contact also sadi that Kameiras are being used as transport ship security guards in Republic space where Amarrian corporate interests are active. Cooperating Republic corporations have been named as medical facilities for similar pre-duty examinations and treatments. This warrants further investigation as well.

In the mean time, I have gained access to 9 of the 13 distribution agents here in the Further Foodstuffs packaging plant in Vashkah. While I have not yet been able to confirm the issue regarding Kameiras, I have seen directly the exploitation of the homeless and have managed to intervene on behalf of 80 people. Short of killing them, the station sought to secretively dump them in another station. They will find much better accommodations, care, education and opportunity in our Ation Center.

I would just like to pause and say that even as a pacifist, I have grown to deeply admire and respect the Kameiras. What a remarkable people! It is an injustice that they should be exploited for money by the unscrupulous.

Things are much different in the Empire than the Mandate, Ms. Luftschreck. Emancipation in the Empire is a formal legal process that only a Holder can preform on their slaves.

For example, suppose I have a slave that I wish to be transported to place A. I'm not going to do it myself, so I find capsuleer B to do the transport. Capsuleer B takes the slave and loads it in their ship along with many other trade good. Capsuleer B then gets killed by Goons in Niraja. Goons loot the wreck and head to Jita. The Goons know the legality of the items they carry, so they jettison the slave and head to Jita. Then DSTON picks up the can and takes the slave to a facility in the Empire.
That slave is still legally mine. Period. Full stop. What happened in the mean time since it left my personal custody and then has no bearing on the legal status of the slave.
If the slave goes to a location outside the Empire, they are sill a slave, in that if they returned to the Empire, they would be returned to my custody.

1: No
2: Yes
3: Would never happen
Kameiras would never live amongst the subhumans in the Tribal Republic. Ever.

I have a question regarding this operation. More frequently lately, my assignments in State space result in the destruction of illegal operations run by slavers of various allegiances, which usually results in slaves being left behind. The perpetrators aren't an issue, as they're remanded to State authorities for punishment (death by firing squad), but the best I've been able to do is fly the slaves to the nearest station, and house them, since transport, regardless of intent, is illegal. Would your group be able to transport them safely out of State space under contract? It's either that or I'll have to start hiring staff for a miniature education and acclimation program on site... A few, i can just make comfortable while beauracratic wheels slowly turn in negotiations with paranoid Republic representatives, but the numbers I'm starting to see are a bit worrisome, and I refuse to leave even my worst enemy, much less innocent victims, to die in the void when it's well within my ability to prevent it.

It wouldn't be a drain at all just to employ and educate them, but cultural and ethical considerations aside, I'd like to allow them the choice to have freedom on their terms, rather than "the best" a State capsuleer can arrange without other options made available.

In your debt, Scherezad-haani. Rikaato.

Vitoxin is a punishment for poor behavior, Mr. Nauplius. What sin have those slaves committed that they deserve to be "stuffed full" of it? They did not choose to be in those cans. They are victims. They have already had to endure near-death at the hands of capricious and uncaring capsuleers, they do not need additional suffering in the form of being subjected to a lifelong chemical dependency. And are you aware that vitoc-addicted slaves sell for less on the market, as vitoc supplements are a regular drain on a Holder's budget and demonstrates to prospective buyers that the slave is poorly behaved?

They should be rescued from those cans and returned to the Empire, but they should not be punished with vitoxin when they have committed no crime.

I usually stay out of discussions like this, but isn't it true that many Ni-Kunni spent less than a generation in slavery when their race was brought into the Empire? How can a slave 'stuffed full of Vitoc' possibly make the choice to come to God?

If we never ask questions, we never risk being uncomfortable with what we are asked to do. This seems to be the way most approach agent missions. I short while back I mentioned that I could count on one hand the number of agent interactions I have had. I am now out of fingers and toes so to speak. The conversations I have had in the last few days have opened up my eyes to facts I wish I had known years ago. My original contact explained things to me that I tough incredulous until I saw for myself. He explained how a pilot can build a relationship with multiple agents and achieve sufficient standing that minimal standing loss would be incurred when missions are accepted and subsequently terminated. In this way, he has been able to assist multiple groups of terrified, manipulated and exploited groups of people. Most capsuleers never bother to find out about the passengers they are contracted to transport. But if you do, you are left with a moral choice: please your agent or help the helpless.

A side note to Ms. Rabbit: No need to be so hostile. I never said the Kameiras were interest in settling in the Republic. They merely wanted to travel with me and see our facilities in the Mandate and Republic. They will decide the location should they wish to establish a new community.

Now, in the space of a couple days, I and my crew and our on-board guests have been able to help 80 more homeless people and 420 Kameiras from being exploited by corporate interests that have no respect for them or for their beliefs. This time I have personally documented the agents, intended destinations and the involvement of Amarrian, Republic and Gallente corporate interests. Money make strange bedfellows and cares little of established traditions and values. Argue though you may, no Kameiras would willingly allow themselves the indignities of medical exams by enemy factions, nor the destruction of their sacred wounds, nor the trivialization of their duties through guard duty on freighters, etc.

This experience has opened up a whole new horizon of work for DSTON. I am going to recommend to Development that each of us pilots rotate into this type of work on a regular basis. Hundreds and thousands can be rescued and helped this way.

Report:
(Ghoohe Habari Vashkah 240 Elite Slaves)
(Aboum Bhizheba Eredan ISS 20 Slaves)
(80 homeless Gaswa Idaf Lisudeh MIO)
(Bottim Higania, Stirht 210 Kameiras from IA to IA Alf)
(Jihrahan Niyarrakaka Strirht IA to Brundakur Chemal Tech (Gallente) 210 Kameiras)

One final note: We have uncovered a very useful loophole. In some but not all cases, the people we rescue from agent abuse are not yet customs tagged and can be freely transported without contraband detection. This is a great advantage and will give us greater flexibility and freedom to move these groups wherever they may want to go.
