To begin with, it was sad to see how quickly the Amarr turned on Samira when she went out and did what none of them seemed willing to do, save a million souls or more from horrifying slaughter. Then when the Khanid bastard struck at her family, he was shown that he was not beyond reach. That he and his clones were vulnerable, and that some targets are out of bounds. Capsuleer families for one. Again, she did what none else had the courage, strength or determination needed to do, and was condemned for it. Demonized, for striking at what Amarr should consider a blatant enemy but instead embrace to their chest.
Now⌠now itâs rather heartening. It wasnât a mere panicked âshun her!â. It remains. This woman, staunch and stalwart in her belief in a better Empire, an Empire that strives towards the ideals of the Rite rather than lip service and corruption, shames them so that they must still demonize and deride her. In sheer terror of being compared to this lone Minmatar woman, more Amarr than any of them, they desperately try to diminish and lessen her.
⌠damn Samira. Youâre the scariest thing theyâve faced yet, this side of the docking ring.
And yet, that means killing and dying for his cause, rather than taking the fight to him. It is very binary in the end, with creatures like him. With or against.
While true that it is only through faith and duty that we can defend against such nefarious attempts of division attempts from the burgeoning heresies within; I think this stands as an example that duty alone may break oneâs spirit and lead them to become a tool for the very same heresy which they reel against.
At the same time, faith alone will not stamp out these heretics. Even if the results are not as immediate as one might hope, we must continue to fight back these internal heresies even amidst the external pressures.
I am quite aware of how it works, Lord Raholan, thank you. But assisting the Khanids was contemptible nonetheless. Especially from independent capsuleers who were under no obligation to lift a finger in their defense.
And I will not take any insulting of my honor from you, lipserver. I will accept such from PIE, but not you.
Thereâs a notable difference between a group defending or rejecting the allies it has chosen for itself, and a group respecting the choices of those theyâve sworn loyalty to, however they may personally feel about it.
However much it may pain you, sometimes you must not act.
Indeed, and that applies as much to those âloyalistâ capsuleers as to anyone else. They were never required to act. They were never required to even be there. Had they simply said âthe Kingdom has said they will deal with this, we will let them deal with thisâ, that would have fulfilled their obligations.
To go over and above that is to endorse that which they choose to actively support. Especially when making statements of open support.
I do not understand how you expect them not to respond to an armed incursion by UshraâKhan and hangers on. If PIE were to deploy citadels, import battleship fleets, and attempt to land a freighter full of troops on a planet in Heimatar, would you expect EM to simply say âThe Republic will deal with itâ and not show up?
I would certainly like to see logs of any pilots from PIE openly supporting Chakaid? I do not recall seeing this.
Iâm quite sure we have been actively responding to any UâK attack on Amarr that we can for a lot longer than anyone here has known about Chakaid and saying that following the same policy against UâK that we have since before I was a PIE Admiral is trying to support Chakaid is just being absurd.
So an attack on Chakaid and his legions of mass murdering psychopaths slaughtering countless dirtside is to you an attack on Amarr? Well then, so you do embrace him. Thatâs all you needed to say, dearie.
