Firstly, anyone who says ‘with respect’ or any derivative of such does not intend to convey it. That you see fit to address me with my last name only like an instructor to a fresh-faced rating in naval school rather than with a title I have earned is indicative of that.
Secondly, I grew up in the State. I am more than qualified to speak from my experiences in that society, especially on the honour system which has been cited to justify several incidences in my career as an Empyrean sailor. Whilst I am no longer bound by the State honour system as I am no longer a State Citizen, those that claim to be aggrieved by those that would not have standing under said system are giving weight to an honourless person’s claims.
I will not employ violence to effect a change when other methods are available and will not lead to needless loss of life, for my own employees and others. From the attitude emanating from your post and that you had set the war as mutual preventing potential allies from rendering assistance, it appears that your intention was for this installation to be destroyed all along as a stunt. I can only hope that those you deceived into crewing this structure made it off safely. That is the real injustice - aside from that your installation was equipped so ineptly.
