Intergalactic Summit

Dry red wine, intrigue and paranoia.

Refreshing.

Part of your conclusion is correct but it is not the main conclusion.
My acceptance of Ta Pang as a disciple was undisciplined. Had I checked his employment records rather than naively accepting his well played but false sincerity, this would not have happened.

But, the Disciples are not undisciplined and not a sham. We have disciplined ourselves to follow the way of non-violence consistently and without wavering. That takes discipline that few are willing to undergo. We have forsaken the bind pursuit of wealth to daily focus on the well-being of those left to die. That takes discipline. We have shown up on a daily basis to patrol for those abandoned. This we do day after day after day. This takes commitment and discipline. In spite of this set back, we will continue to be disciplined in our work in spite of criticism and mocking from the likes of such as you.

So Rodjer, you can pass the PIE to someone else.

The main conclusion is that we were betrayed by one of our own that should never have been one of our own. For this, I and I alone am to blame.

As far as I am concerned, this is an internal matter to the Disciples of Ston. Whatever the past is of their members, I can assure you that neither nor any of my employees or slaves were involved in any criminal activiy in Madirmilire be it hoax, or actual. Whatever former connections I may have to your traitor, I can vouch that those ties are long ago severed and forgotten.

Clean up your own mess Manwe.

Norrin, we did fight them. We could not compete with their tactics, so we used our own.

Criticising my "battles" when you refuse to even accept a risk of ever fighting one yourself is also, unbecoming.

Sar'tek? Sar'tek? Hmm, where have I heard that name before? Oh yes, now I remember, you and your Corp mate Cern Nuos were one of the first two people to provide Ta Pang with convenient and significant rescues to establish his credibility with DSTON. But of course you aren't involved at all are you? You guys need to cover your tracks better than you are currently doing. You have left a paper trail that quite easy to follow. So, yes Sar'tek who along with your corp mate Cern Nuos, conveniently arrange to have Ta Pang perform a rescue in the same day. Of course, he didn't seem to remember who you were. Funny, isn't it that all of you seem to have such terrible memories of your associations with each other.


Ta Pang Reported
I will attempt to re-send this message.....communications have been hit or miss lately and I have no idea why, I will attempt to fix the links to public profiles later. The past 24 hours have seen a pair of rescues, totaling 325 former slaves and 122 other passsengers. I am appaled at the blatant disregard of the pilots who jettisoned these poor souls into space.

Pilot: Sar'Tek], 308 lives
Race: Caldari
Corp: Lai Dai Infinity Systems


Pilot: Cern Nuos, 139 lives
Race: Caldari
Corp: Minertour North Industries Inc.

Update:
The majority of the former slaves have opted to attend our newest matriculation center. A small handfull of them have indicated that they wish to return to their 'master'. The mixed passengers turned out to include several slavers and their personal entourage of exotic dancers. The dancers have been given their freedom and the slavers have been detained for further questioning.

Edit: O Yes, just an interesting note, Sar'tek never posts on the IGS, ever, basically, until now, just in time to defend his friends. You shouldn't have put your name out there, Sar'tek where it is exposed to public record where all can see your associations and actions and complicity.
2nd edit: name links added so you can see corporate connections and history.

And here I was thinking that choosing not to turn everything into a reason to fight was a sign of maturity and civility. My mistake.

I fully respect your change in tone from "they wouldn't fight us, so we won" to "we couldn't beat them, so we retreated and then claimed moral victory when they didn't pursue." This clarifies your position immensely.

As for what I'm willing to fight for, that threshold is rarely crossed. I simply can't be expected to challenge everyone to a fight because they offend my delicate sensibilities. While you may choose to continue to imply anyone unwilling to throw down the gauntlet for little to no reason is cowardly, I'll continue going about my business very secure in the knowledge that reckless and wanton violence does not equate to valor.

Good day.

I think you need to skim your capsule fluid for impurities, of course I gave Ta Pang slaves. HE ASKED ME FOR THEM. But I suppose this is just part of some grand plot to do.....what exactly? Steal them back? Please detail what exaclty you're trying to accuse me of being a party to.

As for defending Ta Pang or Ranshad, I hardly think so. Just because I choose not to post to IGS doesn't mean I don't keep abreast of ongoing events. Or is everyone who posts to IGS for the first time part of this conspiracy?

Does CONCORD have a rubber room for our good friend here? My recommendation Mr Todako, take a vacation. You are clearly wound too tight and are seeing things where only shadows exist.

Honestly, this is why I never weigh in, too many loonies escaped form the farm.

First of all, I would like to offer my condolences to families of those lost in such a tragic accident. I suppose we live in a world where death is a lurking on every corner, as a constant reminder to live our life to the fullest.

I believe this also somewhat changes the terms of our business agreement, mr. Todako, so... you know where and how to contact me. Maybe in about a week, when the whole thing settles down a bit, hm? In any case, I hope you'll recover from this soon.

What business agreement was that? I'm sure you are anxious to say.

It does indeed add to the proof. It proves that Ta Pang did not make those rescues but was instead gathering slaves from former associates such as yourself and as you say "a whole list of former corpmates." These he reported as rescues, not as gifts from former corpmates. Indeed, you don't seem to care about how you have implicated your former corpmate. You have helped us prove that Ta Pang has been lying to us all along. I thank you for your help in this investigation, Mr. Sar'tek
