My CONCORD file? Which part? The part where I built a colony to provide a home to hundreds of thousands of people? And made economic deals to boost the economic growth of the colony, giving its residents a quality of life comparable to that of a medium security system? Or maybe the part where I helped foil dozens of pirate plots and passed intelligence and captives to local authorities to help them in their continuous war against crime?
Oh … oh, right. By CONCORD, you mean Squizz. And by file, you mean my killboard. Well, guess what. That “file” doesn’t reflect the extent of my activities. I don’t know about others, but I spend much of my time hunting down pirates, removing them from New Eden before their activities can bring harm to more innocent civilians and ruin more lives. I doubt that’s shown on Zkill. And plus, engaging in battles with other capsuleers? … That’s simply a guilty pleasure of mine. I engage in it occasionally, but with a degree of guilt. After all, unlike pirates, fighting capsuleers has little effect on the lives of the trillions of men, women, and children living in the cluster. If anything, it is simply for our personal entertainment. And … well, have you thought of your crew? Ever? I thought not. Well, I do. Each and every one of my crew members is a member of the military of the Sovereign Duchy of Beseth Dunijia - a member of the fledgling Sovereign Duchy Navy, on loan to the Dark Wolf Legion. Their pay is excellent, they get a nice plot of land and an annual stipend upon retirement, and benefits! Don’t forget the benefits! Health insurance, disability insurance, life insurance, everything’s included! But, if I were to engage in fighting as much as you do, well, life insurance would be key there. After all, how many of your crew do you think survive each time your ship goes down? And how many crewmembers do you pick up after destroying a vessel? Of the survivors, which is already a handful, if any, of course.
Oh, and by the way, I forgot to mention that the MIO special investigations team I sent has returned with their findings. They have concluded that the scientist in question, ORE researcher #47, allegedly identified as Mr. Calan Maudelle, is in fact innocent of all charges. They have further discovered an alarming number of discrepancies within the provided evidence and witness testimonies. Upon review by a legal team temporarily attached to the special investigations squad, the special investigations team has found enough evidence to indict multiple exotic dancers and station personnel for perjury, witness tampering, and evidence tampering under Empire law. Of course, this is Thera. I doubt that the parties involved will ever face justice for their crimes. Unfortunately.

Oh, by the way, Legion, industrials and Ventures can’t shoot back. Neither can capsules, corvettes, and shuttles. Well, Ventures, industrials, and corvettes could, but not enough to put up a fight. I don’t think you’re nearly as skilled of a combat pilot as you think you are, so maybe stop being a piece of ■■■■ and pretending you’re important? 'Cuz you’re not.
