We’ve reviewed the reports from The Scope and the additional information provided by Chemal Tech below. Our team is currently reaching out to Demi Restouve to facilitate the return of the geneticists.
Out of humanitarian concern and as citizens of New Eden, we rescued several geneticists from the convoy wreckage. The final tally indicates that 11 out of the 15 surviving geneticists were saved. Yes, we have more geneticists under our protection than initially claimed. No, we will not engage in any form of trafficking involving them. Nine out of the eleven rescued geneticists have been safely transported back to Oursulaert VI - Chemal Tech Research Center.
However, there are certain points we need to clarify and announce.
First, we will not return all these geneticists, Chemal Tech were talking about “Welfare and safety of staff” in The Scope video. But we can’t even see any emphasize from Chemal Tech before, during and after this accident. They totally have no ability to secrecy messages, form fleets, and plan the routes. So we decided to introduce the remaining 2 geneticists to somewhere their genius will be valued. One of them has been send to Zarzakh - Deathless Custodians - The Fulcrum. The another one is current in Vale II - Moon 1 - Veles Clade Extractive Terminus. If Deathless Circle or Triglavian Collective need them, please contact us, or We’ll keep them working for Fraternity.
Secondly, it is crucial to clarify that we are not engaging in kidnapping. Prior to assuming control of the convoy, hostile capsuleers attempted to destroy the Occator, but we successfully repelled them. However, our scouts reported that Snuffed Out was preparing to deploy a Nightmare fleet with fax support against the convoy. Given their notorious reputation for leaving no survivors, we could not guarantee the safety of the VIPs if the fleet proceeded through low-security systems. Consequently, we took action. Despite sustaining losses when engaging Snuffed Out to save the survivors, we managed to transport the geneticists to TXW-EI IX - Moon 2 - Intaki Bank Depository. We attempted to contact Chemal Tech to facilitate their return, but received no response within a reasonable timeframe. Consequently, we had no choice but to have Chemal Tech cover the storage, maintenance, and service fees. If our intention was to kidnap, we would have attacked the convoy upon its arrival in Old Man Star, before Snuffed Out formed their fleet.
In summary, Chemal Tech should take the primary responsibility of the loss of life and the damage of property. Snuffed Out should take the secondary responsibility, as a pirate Alliance.
Finally, regarding The Scope, as a galaxy-wide media outlet, it is inappropriate to use terms such as “captured,” “threatened,” “execution,” or “demands” in reference to our actions. We urge you to verify the facts or consult our After Action Report before publishing news articles. Any inaccuracies in your reporting will be your responsibility to rectify.
We wish to extend our sincere gratitude to the Arataka Research Consortium, the valiant members of our fleet, and Fraternity FW SIG. Your unwavering support and efforts were pivotal to protect civilian lives.
