How very kind of you to join us once again. Do not worry about your time with ARC being as long as it is, as mentioned above, you very much were part of it at the time of this incident, leading anti-State fleets with the objective of robbing secured relays, and even stepped in in defense of this massacre above.
Yet here is the thread, appropriately tagged as [ARC] Athounon data capture, where Priano-guri says that ARC is the entity behind this. Trying to pass this off as her personal project would be very transparently disingenuous, but you haven’t even really tried to do that. There has been absolutely no attempt from any ARC officers to either distance yourselves, condemn this initiative being started in your name, or even admitting any fault whatsoever. You, yourself, tried to defend it in this very thread.
I am sure this comes as an enormous relief to those slaughtered in ARC’s name back then. Do you also oppose Priano-guri’s initiative now, or just a nebulous notion?
Self-righteousness does not actually make someone right. Some of the greatest acts of evil in history have been committed by people thinking they are ‘a force of good’.
Instead, how about we address some actual points for a change? You want this to go back to the topic of your OP? How about you explain to me what the “good” of sharing these findings while the Deathless are ravaging entire constellations across civilized space is? It was with great effort that the Amarr Empire was able to secure the last drifter hive, preventing the likes of the Angel Cartel from gaining a foothold- yet even with their limited findings, these pirates immediately put them to work in augmenting their dreadnaught fleets.
Please do share how enabling the Cartel and the rest of the Deathless circle (not to mention lesser criminal syndicates and mad cults) to have full access to these technologies, even right after they have indicated exactly how they intend to use every single piece of technology they get their hands on, is being a “force for good”.
Unlike what Jenneth’s little conspiracies allude to, I have been a very vocal advocate for co-operation in the interest of fully unlocking the secrets of these hives and ensuring that another Drifter crisis never happens again, but the solution for this would be a secure joint research programme between the 5 occupying forces, not sharing with every last lowlife out there.
4 out of 5 of the hives are in the hands of CONCORD-aligned organizations, and the Collective, even if an outlier, has an extensive record of prioritizing the Drifter threat above everything else, with their forces even lending material aid to fleets dismantling Drifter labyrinth complexes across all 5 hives. They have demonstrated their ability to co-operate against the Drifters as readily as the Deathless-aligned pirates have demonstrated their intent to weaponize anything they get their hands on to turn against us all.
Would I have preferred that all 5 hives were held by CONCORD signatories? Maybe, though the conduct of the Aguard administration makes this a difficult call to make at the moment, but as things stand, I think it is very clear what the right call to make is.
