What is done by the fervent, the religious and charlatans does not diminish or reduce the strength of those who knew the likely outcome of this day. Your attempts to do so are disappointing, but not surprising.
You spend more time attacking your own than the Amarr, Rhiannon.
One would think the events in Turnur would be cause for paying respects to the dead with solemnity and dignity. Instead the dead seem to have become a cause for the circus of propaganda and the political opportunism of anyone with an axe to grind.
Perhaps Elsebeth has more sense than you do in this matter. If the matari were to work with the Amarr instead of attempting to hinder every groundbreaking experiment in stellar manipulation the lavaification of Turnur I might not have occured.
Donât try and twist my words to my sister as support for the Amarr. It was their people who stole the technology we conquered, their people who set up these crazy experiences, and their people who refused to share the research. It was their people who tried to stop evacuations by force. âIf only you had helped us stop thisâ, indeed. Not like theyâd have let anyone help. These deaths are on them and may their God judge them accordingly one day.
There is nothing wrong with standing in defiance before the face of Death, and if Fate wants you to go into the Night then it is better to go to the beat of the drums and the lights from the stage and the bonfires and to the sweaty skin of your syskon moving together with yours than it is with a prayer to the Enemy.
I questioned whether the Mizhara speaking now is the one who stood in defiance and whose spirit endured. I questioned the idea that there was no other path. But never the defiance itself, and not whether the part of her spirit that did die was wrong.
The first âconceptâ, dubious as its framing is, excludes neither of those which follow; it does however imply without fully articulating the fundamental reason for your poor relations with those who serve Holy Amarr more directly.
The implication is fleshed out by this second attempt at a dichotomy where you conflate service with bloodlust and cowardice with some manner of noble consensus.
Your organisation are despised not because we seek to make you less, but because in abandoning past allegiance and attempting to make a virtue of pusillanimity, you long since did so yourselves.
Yeah, how dare they forsake their allegiance to the Empire by working with other EDENCOM-aligned capsuleer groups the way the Empress ordered. Doing what they were told?!? TREASON!!
If thatâs the case and they arenât following the divine will of the Empress, than crazy Naup isnât so crazy after all. The throne is vacant. In a figurative sense.
LUMEN answered the Empireâs call for capsuleers to cooperate under EDENCOMâs guidance. This included joint operations in Poch, and other engagements where groups like Electus Matari assisted LUMEN as part of the greater EDENCOM-aligned population.
All of which is expressly âdoing what the Throne told them to doâ.
And as a result, certain yappy mutts with delusions of grandeur in AmarrMil have labeled them traitors. For doing what the Throne told them to do.
So, in the ânews to youâ category: did you know that itâs been almost 9 years since Iâve been able to spend more than about 18h in the egg without experiencing post-traumatic REM disruptions? Apparently, I wax poetic about the experience of being a subcapital pilot trapped in a 1,000-km wide field of warp disruption bubbles while titans smartbombed everything in sight and volleyed doomsdays at one another for just short of a full 24h cycle.
