FTFY.
Seriously, you people can justify sitting on your hands and nodding and smiling at every damned step all you want, but this man ascended to the highest halls of power in your empire, and you did nothing until he chose to reveal himself.
Oh, he got arrested! Big whup, he was being kept on ice until there was another Floseswin for one of the Heirs to unleash him on, and you all know it. If Chakaid and/or the EoM hadnāt decided to say āscrew itā and make one hell of a symbolic statement by pumpingā¦ what? Six? Seven? Doomsdays into a major agricultural supplier for the Kingdom, heād have been back in a year, eighteen months, conveniently found to be innocent of charges just in time to go commit atrocities in the Empressā name.
And you all would have nodded and smiled, again. Oh, maybe one or two of you wouldāve expressed disappointment, but only in the absolutely mildest of terms. Mustnāt upset your keepers, after all. Useless sacks of suet, all of you. You enabled this madness for years, and still you shake your finger and ātut tutā in the face of the one person among you who took action to stop him before he could rise to this level of visible, symbolic threat.
Do you think he did this openly because they were done with him? Donāt be stupider than youāve already spent years being. This is what his ascent was for. If the goal was just to kill people, they could have unleashed that titan three years ago. Instead, Chakaid committed atrocity after atrocity, making sure to mock and tauntā¦ who? Not the Republic, noā¦ capsuleers. He made sure to taunt the people who end up pointless, empty celebrities of death. He mocked the ādefenders of the Empireā who wouldnāt dare defend it from him.
And he did it all while smirking right in your faces and using such over the top bullcrap that Nauplius bought into it. Honestly, when some murderous jackwagon is more mustache-twirling than the Butcher Clown, maybe itās time to realize that heās tea-bagging you, right there in public.
Because now, itās obvious that was part of the plan, too.
Capsuleers are held up across New Eden as frikkināā¦ icons. Powerful, beholden only to themselves and their chosen loyalties. Hell, most of you even believe you donāt die when your body gets obliterated.
The immortal, godlike pinnacle of humanity in service of Holy Amarr. Is it any wonder an agent of the EoM picked you for his special flavor of mockery? That heād get your attention and ire, so that everyone who watches youā¦ would be watching him? And once they were watchingā¦ outrage after outrage, and he all but spat in your faces over it all. Worse, at each one, he was rewarded.
Oh, you got your fancy little titles, your pat on the head and āgood doggiesā, but you never got any power. You never got any real means to make things happen. He showed you all to be the mewling lapdogs that you are. He did it right to your faces, and he laughed at you as he did it.
And now, heās shown the entire cluster that the Amarr Empire is riddled with his people. He didnāt get promoted to the Theology Council because he was effective. No, he got there because he had friends who were more powerful, whoāve stayed in the shadows. How many more of the TC are EoM? How many of them throughout the upper echelons of the Amarr Empire? How many titans are piloted by EoM navy eggers?
And you think heās gone now? He just stood on the biggest stage in history, while the frelling āgodsā of New Eden swarmed around him like gnats, and casually kept pumping Doomsdays into a planet trillions rely on for food. A planet chosen, doubtlessly, because it was where he first mocked you all, where he was openly murderous, and bent you all to his will. All of you, helping to defend his work, to fight against the efforts of people trying to evacuate victims. Openly sucking up to him like Aldrith did.
That this happened where it did was no accident, and no coincidence, and you all know it.
And the real beauty of it isā¦ you all spent money to protect him. You invested billions in securing Zashev, making sure any evidence of malfeasance would get buried, because itās inconvenient to the Empire. Mustnāt let the Empire look at all fallible, right? I hope the new dead on Kahah all appreciate your loyalty. Iām sure Alar Chakaid does.
Because no, heās not gone. Heās not gone any more than he was gone any of the times he got killed as a warclone. Every time he shows up again, from here until he gets tired of doing it, heās rubbing his balls in your face, showing you and your empire to be impotent against what he represents. Stars, why would the EoM give up a symbol like that, when they can use it to humiliate the Empire and capsuleers for the next thousand years?
No. Heāll turn up again. And every time he does, heāll mock you more. Heāll say the quiet part out loud. Heāll rub it right in your faces where the empires, CONCORD, hell, all your fan clubs canāt help but see:
You enabled him. You were complicit in his rise to power at every step. Every time you refused to speak out, you made him stronger. Every time you self-righteously declared that obedience was more important than actually protecting your god-be-damned Empire from monsters like you knew him to be, you helped him ascend, get more attention, get more influence, and move closer to his goals.
You, loyal and obedient capsuleers of the Amarr Empireā¦
YOU DID THIS. THIS BLOOD IS ON YOUR HANDS.
Never forget that. The rest of the cluster sure as hell wonāt.
