Drifters: Stop irradiating monks. Do this instead

Fiction Portal Intergalactic Summit

O Drifters! How the wrath of the Amarr God does wax so very, very large against you. Being a type of Jove, you share in the collective guilt of the Jovian people for your many crimes against Amarr from the treachery of Vak’Atioth onward. This, however, was not enough sin and guilt for you. Now, you heap up wrath for yourself in God’s great storehouse of wrath by irradiating Amarrian monks — a crime that isn’t even benefiting you very much since capsuleers are destroying your torture machines and snatching your test data.

There is a better way. God in his sovereign wisdom has created a people even more hated — even more given over to destruction — than you, Jovians. A people upon whom you may test radiation without heaping up even more wrath for yourself. I speak, of course, of slaves. But not just any kind of slaves. MINMATAR SLAVES. Due to their collective guilt for rebellion against God and Empire, you may irradiate Minmatar without incurring further sin.

Deep in the Raa system, I have deployed mobile depots filled with Minmatar slaves. Irradiate them as you please. Soon, however, you will need more test subjects, and therefore I propose to you a deal. Imprisoned within LUMEN infirmary is a brain injury patient, @Yun-Hee_Tight-lips_Yubari, for whom I care very much. With your advanced Jovian technology, you can break her out of her hospital room, cure her of her brain injuries, and then return her to me. Do this, and I will use my rights and powers as a capsuleer to supply you with vast numbers of Minmatar slaves for your irradiation testing. So many test subjects for so small a task. I await your response. Amarr Victor.

Mr. Nauplius,

Don’t you think, that pleading entities that don’t even read these forums, neither have any visible interest to intergalactic politics and quarrels between major empires, have any merit?

It looks like completely unprofitable waste of time, especially if you really expect them to talk to you right here. There were many attempts to talk to Drifters and wage diplomacy with them, but so far I haven’t heard about any result. And doing “megaphone” diplomacy (directing diplomatic equiry through public instead of private contacts) is simply unprofessional, unless it is required by the status of the question itself (for example, incorrect public statement of the other side).

Asking them for personal favors in this case is…, well, I am not going to follow this route any more, since I bet you got where I was heading.

It is noticeable though that this personal issue have a certain weight on you, and instead of chasticing you for bringing it up, I’d recommend you to do something yourself.

The Winds doesn’t help those, who don’t help themselves.

I have no particular respect to that LUMEN, and, honestly, I will be delighted just to see what actions you can take to resolve this problem and how the situation will unfold. Bear in mind, however, that with this advice I don’t really offer any help of my own, and will stand besides only as a moderately interested watcher. You can say that I am just disappointed to read this, because I understand that this course of action simply will bear no fruits and will not develop the situation into anything resultful or interesting.

But in any way, these are just my couple isks. Do with them whatver you wish.

Respectfully not yours,
D. Kim, Strike Cmdr.
