[TS-F] Lost, but Not Forgotten - III

Quote:
Does it matter who rescues you, truly? Do you want to wait for heroes that may never come, or take the opportunity to get out of this hanger? I won't be here to listen to your indecision, at any rate. -Excerpt from Overwatch Personnel Notes, circa FDC.HRO-1


The True Slave Foundations' Division Capsuleer will be conducting humanitarian operations of a public nature for a short duration. The purpose of this operation is the recovery and/or rescue of human beings currently trapped in the confines of the SCC Market and Contracts system, and public outreach attempts to Capsuleers. Every day, people are casually picked up by Capsuleers and forgotten by them in their hangers. Some are shoved onto the SCC Markets when it is 'legal' to do so, the rest are either abandoned in the Contracts system or left rotting within Capsuleer hangers. The net result is the same regardless; these people are left to die.

Division Capsuleer continues to press on for answers to this travesty. We have made strides in identifying effective recovery techniques and extrication methods that enable us to go where few others dare to reach. Yet, it is still not enough. The root of the problem remains unaddressed, even as more and more personnel pass through our medical processing. It is for this reason we have made this public outreach attempt, to both educate and to offer a possibility.

Perhaps they are beneath your notice, or you simply do not care - perhaps even something entirely different. Regardless, the True Slave Foundations is prepared to accept the release of these people into our care. We are willing to endure the logistical necessity of transporting and dispensing the appropriate attention needed to stabilize these imprisoned lives'. For you, it is but a few moments of your time to accomplish a great deed of good.


Acquisition Details


From the SCC Markets, we are reaching out for :
Freed Slaves
Freedom Fighters
Exotic Dancers
Refugees
Homeless
Tourists
Janitors
Science Graduates
Marines

From the Contracts System, we are reaching out for :
Any type of Human Livestock

How to transfer them into our care :
Contract directly to either [ Ghost Hunter ] or [ True Slave Foundations ].
-or-
Send a mail describing the quantity, type, and location of the personnel for a direct trade. A meeting will be arranged for the transfer. Please note Null security trades may be rejected, due to the danger posed to safe personnel extraction.

If you wish to negotiate a price for the people, please indicate so. While donations are desired in particular, financial compensation can be arranged - particularly for significant shipments. For security purposes, we are restraining from posting our baseline purchasing rates. Contracts with a massive ISK price attached to them that exceeds our acceptable threshold will be renegotiated, or rejected as appropriate. This is a protection measure against scam efforts.

Slaves, as officially quantified by the Amarrian SCC Markets, are not covered in this humanitarian operation due to the fact a separate initiative is responsible for handling them. However, while they are not part of our focus, we remain interested in peaceful hand overs of them.

Perhaps his vaunted master is running low on biomass.

personally i hope this is the case, and people are clever enough to keep it that way.

There are so many reasons I can pick, but none of which I think would satisfy you. Something simple, then.

Human life is precious. Too often we are weighed down by suffering to realize the intrinsic bond we all share.

it was misleading.

Before any bright individual considers indulging this novel offer from capsuleers of TS-F, I would like to advise them to ponder the wisdom of turning over human lives to followers of a man who actively engages in brainwashing, kidnap, unethical experimentation, identity theft, murder, and is currently waging war on those who don't worship him.

Just in case anyone y'know, managed to forget...

You are the very model of compassionate cybernetic ossification. I wouldn't be inclined to describe the process of acquisition as "picked up" or "casual," though - and some of us are quite pleased with our hangar microcosms!

It's been said that a society that requires currency is an impoverished society. We aim to build a post-scarcity society.

It seems that Sansha’s puppets have found a legal way to abduct people and turn them into slaves.

There were roughly forty six thousand slaves available in a single Hilaban station alone, for the in some sense appallingly low price of around 800 isk a bottom. I'm a bit surprised this hasn't come up before. On an impulse purchase, I took a thousand strapping Sebiestor lads, myself - though my own projects are far more fleshy than the machinations of those daleks.

Now all I need are a few tons of baby oil and a couple of gold microweave togas....

This Amarrian for one sure has an interesting take in the religious education and enlightenment of her slaves.

We are quite happy if people begin to get these people out of the market system themselves, whether or not they choose to pass them over to us afterwards.

The plight of the human trapped within the market system is a horrific one. They are given just enough to survive, but not enough to prosper. Why would they? Capsuleers rarely check the condition of the people they purchase, and many don't do anything other than let them collect dust in a hanger bay.

What we do is simply get these people out of this hell. If we inspire other people to act in a similar manner, we consider that a success.

I wonder what your idea of 'humanitarian' actually is. Either you confuse your initial actions as being the key aspect of humanitarianism or you hope others will.

Anything with a Sansha mark on it should not be trusted to be in the best interests of humanity.

And while life is precious, this 'bond' you wish to deliver to people is meaningless when actually forced.

The contours of grace and sin slither juxtaposed. If you follow the twisting sinew of one, so it is with the other.

Donations? Financial compensation?

Why not just steal them like you stole your alliance?

You were financially compensated for the assets that could be quantified appropriately. Unfortunately, some materials do not have a reliable marketing rate, and were not covered due to instability in their pricing structures.

Is it truly forced if that bond has always existed? Humans are connected to one another through basic and complex ways, some discernible, others outside of perspective. Even your modern science can find some of these connections in their esoteric experiments, but they do not understand what it means - or how to bring it into our lives.

This is a worthwhile cause, but risky. I urge everyone to allow those under their care to come to their own decisions, and I likewise urge TS-F to publicly disclose their intentions, and to make the process as transparent as possible.

Speaking as a modern scientist endeavouring in esoteric experiments (though currently on a small break), we have a good framework of understanding of these interactions, and can in fact use that knowledge to great effect. Not as effective as Sancha technology, nor nearly as direct, but it's not magic. I'd be happy to discuss it with you in another venue, if you'd like.
