Sansha Invasion

We know little. It began with this.

Contact Caellach Marellus in-game for access to the Republic Space Defense Channel if you are interested in helping to repel their invasions. They killed a CONCORD officer and kidnapped 65000 people from Vylade tonight.


latest intel map

Concord leaked critical intel showing two components to be tied to Stain Frentix production facilities, the first ones created in a century by nation. The Data Shell and PDW-09FX Tactical Subroutines items are tied to Stain Frentix production facilities, the first ones created in a century by nation. Somehow their resurgence is linked to this first breath of their rebuilt empire.

An attack on Antem followed and was repelled, but they succeeded in capturing more than a million people.

Apparently we repelled their attack before the Sansha removed anybody from Antem. Those of you wishing to join this fight, please be careful. The amount of false Intel is high, and there is really nothing we can do about it. Yesterday in the course of an hour we lost three separate pilots who suddenly started spouting "One nation, one voice." Infiltrating us does not seem to be a difficulty the Sansha have.

((For those of you that like role-playing you are missing some very cool stuff CCP is doing. Too many threads to link but check the IGS on the eve forums page. Intergalactic Summit.))

As soon as our war went active, Drake Arson showed up in Tasti and we had this convo :

[ 2010.06.29 04:35:44 ] EVE System > Channel changed to Akkio Local Channel

Drake Arson > Ms. Starsparrow. A pleasure.

EVE System > Channel changed to Otosela Local Channel

EVE System > Channel changed to Tasti Local Channel

Drake Arson > Do you not think we could have a talk?

Sophie Starsparrow > I did say hello in...oh...nm

Bigfood > Shut up toaster

Drake Arson > Mmm. And a lovely welcoem to you too. It seems you have taken an interest in a friend of mine. Why?

Sophie Starsparrow > I could say the same thing

Drake Arson > Touche. I think it would be in both of our best itnerests if you called off the war.

Sophie Starsparrow > Oh...why is that?

Drake Arson > nations movements are slow, but unstoppable. Your pilots are at a severe risk.

Sophie Starsparrow > Our pilots signed up to protect the people from severe risk, one you pose

Drake Arson > I pose? I am simply saving humanity from it self destructiveness. How am I threat?

Sophie Starsparrow > You can't 'save' something by force. The Amarrians still ahven't learned that lesson either

Drake Arson > By Force? More like reinforced decision making. Most of them flock to Nation shuttles upon learning what they will gain. Those who dont are blinded by the Empires and CONCORD

Sophie Starsparrow > I am blinded by neother Empire, nor Concord, nor Kuvakeliewiki or whoever

Drake Arson > Kuvakei. ANd you Are. You are blind because you do nto see that Nation is Saving humanity. CONCORD and the Empires lie to you. To everyone. They force peopel to fear us for no reason. Only because they know everyone will come to nation. They fear they will lose control.

Sophie Starsparrow > Sure, I agree. And?

Drake Arson > If you see past these lies they ahve surroudned you and the others with, why do you still pursue my brethren?

Sophie Starsparrow > They pursue mine

Drake Arson > WE are saving humanity. Why would you disrupt this peacefull act?

Bigfood > You can't prove that.

Sophie Starsparrow > peaceful?

Drake Arson > Oh but I can. The Ten million we ahve uplifted from, the shackle of the Empire are strong and happy. They are unity now.

Sophie Starsparrow > You know you guys could have just put up recruitment ads?

Drake Arson > But that brings us back to squre one. Recruitment ads would nto workw ith the lies The Empire throws around.

Sophie Starsparrow > Where you invaded, killed and kidnapped, that square one?

Drake Arson > Killed? We have not killed a single person, other then act of self defense.

Sophie Starsparrow blinks> And these planetary defense forces you 'neutralize'? not killed?

Drake Arson > They are shown the truth.

Sophie Starsparrow > implanted with it you mean

Drake Arson > And upon seeing truth, they come to nation willingly. Another Lie. Nation is not a group of implanted " Zombies" We are free within Unity. Strong.

Sophie Starsparrow > Look, I'm sorry, I really don't care about your reputation. Do you have any idea how many lies have been told about me? I mean seriously. Get over it.

Drake Arson > My reputation? I care not for it. i only care for dispellign the lies about Nation.

Sophie Starsparrow > Fine, nations reputation then. Don't care. Look at my face. Don't care. Your nation has been forcibly seizing people. Innocent people. Don't care if you are turning them into zombie's, religious converts, or choir boys. Don't care.

Drake Arson > Foolish. Foolish and blind.

Sophie Starsparrow > Maybe. But thats my choice

Drake Arson > Which is why you will fail. You're Individuality is your discord.

We popped him and his friend a short time later.

2010.06.30 07:25:06 ] Eran Mintor sighs for the third time, this time leaning back out of the light.
[ 2010.06.30 07:25:33 ] xxx > Mouse Nell, if there were no other way they would help.
[ 2010.06.30 07:26:37 ] xxx > I don't even think we would know if they did. It may be as subtle as a misplaced word.
[ 2010.06.30 07:26:50 ] Mouse Nell > Its worth a shot? worst he can say is "no, i can't allow you to do that" and i go back to my WH research. XXX isn't the only one to rub elbows with sleepers for weeks at a time.
[ 2010.06.30 07:26:53 ] Mouse Nell > could be
[ 2010.06.30 07:27:24 ] Corlus Ademinan > Captain Nell which system did you probe the Sansha WH in
[ 2010.06.30 07:27:59 ] xxx > Mouse Nell, feel free to ask; if you are granted passage, I would gladly accompany you if you consented. I doubt they will grant permission, however.
[ 2010.06.30 07:28:03 ] Eran Mintor > .....so what course of action do you recommend, XXX?
[ 2010.06.30 07:29:20 ] Mouse Nell > I was in Huttaken when i got the probe through
[ 2010.06.30 07:29:41 ] xxx > To those who can fight, I would suggest what Dorgiers has suggested to me; improve tactics, improve response time. To those with the mind to see, I suggest thinking rationally about what you see before you.
[ 2010.06.30 07:30:12 ] Corlus Ademinan > What is a reasonalbe amount of jumps we should map out as a radius
[ 2010.06.30 07:31:13 ] xxx > Most, if not all, attacks have been within response distance of Yulai.
[ 2010.06.30 07:31:45 ] Eran Mintor > Seems quite strange dont you think?
[ 2010.06.30 07:32:01 ] Corlus Ademinan > What i meant was if most of my corp is based out of a certain system what is a reasonable amount of jumps to make it to a battle so that my corp can watch a certain area of our region per say
[ 2010.06.30 07:32:02 ] xxx > Not at all.
[ 2010.06.30 07:32:21 ] Mouse Nell > 15
[ 2010.06.30 07:32:21 ] Eran Mintor > They remain close to CONCORD consistantly, and COCNORD has had its own Sansha loyalists inside it.....
[ 2010.06.30 07:32:35 ] Corlus Ademinan > thank you MOuse
[ 2010.06.30 07:32:40 ] Mouse Nell > No prob
[ 2010.06.30 07:32:54 ] Eran Mintor > Yet even if they DID have CONCORD up it's sleeve, the Sansha's would still get least resistance on the outskirts....
[ 2010.06.30 07:32:59 ] XXX > Eran...
[ 2010.06.30 07:33:03 ] Eran Mintor > Like their initial assault in...what was it....Cloud Ring?
[ 2010.06.30 07:35:24 ] Eran Mintor clears his throat, "Yes, XXX?"
[ 2010.06.30 07:35:45 ] Corlus Ademinan > what ship were you in Mouse
[ 2010.06.30 07:35:46 ] Corlus Ademinan > ?
[ 2010.06.30 07:36:29 ] Eran Mintor has a sudden expression of surprise, sadness, and denial.
[ 2010.06.30 07:36:48 ] Eran Mintor clears his throat again, "Excuse me...."
[ 2010.06.30 07:36:52 ] Mouse Nell > Oh sorry. I was flying a Nemesis
[ 2010.06.30 07:37:04 ] Eran Mintor goes into comm stasis.
[ 2010.06.30 07:37:13 ] Mouse Nell > ... what was that about?
[ 2010.06.30 07:37:44 ] Corlus Ademinan > booster withdrawl????


Mails and a trip to another system follows...

[ 2010.06.30 09:08:51 ] Eran Mintor > Hello, XXX.
[ 2010.06.30 09:08:55 ] XXX > We can speak here securely.
[ 2010.06.30 09:09:14 ] Eran Mintor nods.
[ 2010.06.30 09:09:18 ] Eran Mintor > Aye, I suppose it was due....
[ 2010.06.30 09:09:32 ] Eran Mintor eyes her curiously, "....how are you, XXX?"
[ 2010.06.30 09:09:42 ] Eran Mintor > ....it has been a long time....
[ 2010.06.30 09:09:49 ] XXX > I... was fine, wonderful in fact, until today.
[ 2010.06.30 09:09:57 ] Eran Mintor > What happened today?
[ 2010.06.30 09:10:16 ] XXX > They stumbled upon something. A trigger.
[ 2010.06.30 09:10:26 ] Eran Mintor > They? The Sansha's?
[ 2010.06.30 09:10:32 ] XXX > Yes.
[ 2010.06.30 09:10:38 ] Eran Mintor > ....not we?
[ 2010.06.30 09:10:55 ] XXX > Does that surprise you?
[ 2010.06.30 09:11:34 ] Eran Mintor shakes his head, "....not necessarily. Trust is hard to build; you should know that after we both endured Nakatre..."
[ 2010.06.30 09:11:43 ] Eran Mintor > But your mail.....
[ 2010.06.30 09:12:04 ] Eran Mintor > I do not understand where you stand....do you need help, XXX? Can I help?
[ 2010.06.30 09:12:27 ] XXX > I do not know, Eran.
[ 2010.06.30 09:13:02 ] Eran Mintor frowns.
[ 2010.06.30 09:13:06 ] Eran Mintor > Please....continue....
[ 2010.06.30 09:13:16 ] XXX > I have someone that is helping me, but she may not be able to do what I know you will be able to.
[ 2010.06.30 09:13:22 ] Eran Mintor > ....
[ 2010.06.30 09:13:25 ] Eran Mintor > what is that?
[ 2010.06.30 09:13:57 ] XXX > If... if I cross the line, if I become a true threat, I want you to end me.
[ 2010.06.30 09:14:07 ] Eran Mintor scowls, "What?"
[ 2010.06.30 09:14:28 ] Eran Mintor > Even if I pod you, you have clones, XXX....
[ 2010.06.30 09:14:35 ] Eran Mintor > If the Sansha get a hold of those....
[ 2010.06.30 09:14:52 ] XXX > It will get me away from where I think they may be leading.
[ 2010.06.30 09:14:53 ] Eran Mintor > There's no way I can end you myself if the Sansha gain control over you....
[ 2010.06.30 09:15:14 ] Eran Mintor > Away?
[ 2010.06.30 09:15:37 ] Eran Mintor > Why are you leaving?
[ 2010.06.30 09:16:13 ] Eran Mintor > ....what do you really hope to achieve, XXX?
[ 2010.06.30 09:16:28 ] XXX > I want to know if I was right.
[ 2010.06.30 09:16:43 ] Eran Mintor > About Nation?
[ 2010.06.30 09:16:49 ] XXX > No.
[ 2010.06.30 09:16:54 ] XXX > This goes beyond Nation.
[ 2010.06.30 09:16:57 ] Eran Mintor > Then what?
[ 2010.06.30 09:17:11 ] XXX > Everything.
[ 2010.06.30 09:17:33 ] Eran Mintor > Hmph....
[ 2010.06.30 09:17:37 ] XXX > The pieces have been set for a long, long time.
[ 2010.06.30 09:17:47 ] Eran Mintor > I'm not sure I understand....
[ 2010.06.30 09:17:50 ] XXX > Nation is right. Too few have questioned.
[ 2010.06.30 09:18:05 ] Eran Mintor > ....and if you give yourself to Sansha, how will YOU know if you're right, if they change who you are?
[ 2010.06.30 09:18:21 ] Eran Mintor > If they alter your mind? I understand their questioning....it is right....
[ 2010.06.30 09:18:37 ] XXX > You don't understand. I do not give myself to them; at any moment they could ask me to do what they wish.
[ 2010.06.30 09:19:04 ] Eran Mintor > But what do they stand to gain? Why seek followers thru raids and violence if they expect people to see the truth?
[ 2010.06.30 09:19:24 ] XXX > Eran, they stumbled upon it themselves.
[ 2010.06.30 09:19:35 ] Eran Mintor > Upon what? The truth?
[ 2010.06.30 09:19:48 ] XXX > They do not understand it. Not really. they are grasping blindly.
[ 2010.06.30 09:20:24 ] Eran Mintor > So why pull us with them....they may grasp something else unknowingly if they are blind and take us on a distant tangent....
[ 2010.06.30 09:20:47 ] Eran Mintor bows his head slightly, "I'm sorry XXX, I do not mean to challenge you, I simply hope to understand....to help....you."
[ 2010.06.30 09:20:53 ] XXX > That is why I must follow where they lead...
[ 2010.06.30 09:21:11 ] XXX > I see the path. I see it's creation, it's evitable end.
[ 2010.06.30 09:21:39 ] Eran Mintor looks at her with his standard frown, "We all die, XXX....at some point....capsuleers even...."
[ 2010.06.30 09:22:00 ] XXX > I know. What they may stumble upon is the death of everything.
[ 2010.06.30 09:22:02 ] Eran Mintor > Everything ends....peace....war...life....love....
[ 2010.06.30 09:22:21 ] Eran Mintor > So why help them?
[ 2010.06.30 09:22:43 ] XXX > Because it is what I was made to do.
[ 2010.06.30 09:22:55 ] XXX > It is my purpose.
[ 2010.06.30 09:23:09 ] XXX > It terrifies me, Eran.
[ 2010.06.30 09:23:13 ] Eran Mintor > Well......*Eran scratches his head*....
[ 2010.06.30 09:23:24 ] Eran Mintor > ....What terrifies you?
[ 2010.06.30 09:23:39 ] XXX > Returning. Truly returning.
[ 2010.06.30 09:23:55 ] Eran Mintor > Returning to what, though?
[ 2010.06.30 09:24:01 ] Eran Mintor > ....what happened today? What is the trigger?
[ 2010.06.30 09:24:57 ] XXX > 48 65 6c 6c 6f 2e
[ 2010.06.30 09:25:14 ] Eran Mintor > That is the trigger?
[ 2010.06.30 09:25:45 ] XXX > Eran, they saw.
[ 2010.06.30 09:25:53 ] Eran Mintor frowns.
[ 2010.06.30 09:26:10 ] Eran Mintor frowned so much recently his forhead turned a bright red, "What did they see?"
[ 2010.06.30 09:26:40 ] XXX > The pattern. They confirmed it... they came looking for me.
[ 2010.06.30 09:28:07 ] Eran Mintor > Why are they looking for you?....
[ 2010.06.30 09:28:54 ] Eran Mintor shakes his head, trying to clear his mind.
[ 2010.06.30 09:29:12 ] Eran Mintor > What does this pattern mean, Niki? Theyre not systems....
[ 2010.06.30 09:29:29 ] XXX > Double slit experiment...
[ 2010.06.30 09:29:35 ] XXX > interference waves.
[ 2010.06.30 09:29:42 ] XXX > Yulai.
[ 2010.06.30 09:29:48 ] Eran Mintor raises an eyebrow.
[ 2010.06.30 09:30:12 ] XXX > The wormholes are forced open, Eran.
[ 2010.06.30 09:31:05 ] XXX > CONCORD's rapid response system. That is what they discovered. How to circumvent it.
[ 2010.06.30 09:31:20 ] XXX > How to, in fact, use it.
[ 2010.06.30 09:32:09 ] Eran Mintor > They're using exploits against CONCORD to cause mayh- *Eran shakes his head again*....No....
[ 2010.06.30 09:32:21 ] Eran Mintor > What are they using them for?
[ 2010.06.30 09:32:36 ] Eran Mintor > Pawns?
[ 2010.06.30 09:32:40 ] XXX > They were searching for something specific.
[ 2010.06.30 09:32:41 ] Eran Mintor > Just like the rest of us?
[ 2010.06.30 09:32:45 ] XXX > They found one piece.
[ 2010.06.30 09:33:07 ] XXX > A baited trap, Eran.
[ 2010.06.30 09:35:37 ] XXX > He discovered how to get to Jove space. He thinks he has the winning hand. He may indeed have it. Your people though... they know how to sacrifice in order to achieve their goals.
[ 2010.06.30 09:35:53 ] Eran Mintor > ....the Minmatar?
[ 2010.06.30 09:36:27 ] Eran Mintor > You want me to use the Minmatar to help the Jove?
[ 2010.06.30 09:36:45 ] Eran Mintor sighs, "I'm sorry again XXX, I feel like I'm trying to piece a puzzle together...."
[ 2010.06.30 09:38:23 ] XXX > The Jove... no, I...
[ 2010.06.30 09:38:26 ] Eran Mintor > And yet I do not see how I can help you....what if I told you men were capable and that Sansha is just a step on the road? A visionary that points out facts we learn to adapt to....
[ 2010.06.30 09:39:17 ] XXX > A unifying threat.
[ 2010.06.30 09:39:20 ] Eran Mintor > ....to become a greater people....we will all die but it's not what we do but what we create and nourish that defines our life....*shakes his head again*....
[ 2010.06.30 09:39:26 ] XXX smiles weakly.
[ 2010.06.30 09:40:11 ] XXX > There is something that I did not tell you, Eran. The Jove... they will not help themselves. They can not help themselves.
[ 2010.06.30 09:40:14 ] Eran Mintor > If you follow the path, why not lead others on it? Instead of running off on your own to seek the truth?
[ 2010.06.30 09:40:32 ] Eran Mintor > ....well, they fight themselves....like we fight ours-....
[ 2010.06.30 09:40:36 ] Eran Mintor clears his throat.
[ 2010.06.30 09:40:50 ] Eran Mintor > Not everyone is alike, XXX.....even all Sansha are different.
[ 2010.06.30 09:41:14 ] XXX > Eran, I know the Jove are divided. Were divided.
[ 2010.06.30 09:41:47 ] XXX > Where are the Sleeper ruins in New Eden located, Eran?
[ 2010.06.30 09:42:11 ] Eran Mintor > .....Jove....space?
[ 2010.06.30 09:42:53 ] XXX > No. How did we know that the drones we faced in W-space were Sleepers?
[ 2010.06.30 09:43:00 ] Eran Mintor shakes his head again, "Sorry...."
[ 2010.06.30 09:43:29 ] Eran Mintor > Because of the artifacts we found around the EVE gate and other places....
[ 2010.06.30 09:43:37 ] XXX nods.
[ 2010.06.30 09:43:43 ] Eran Mintor > Like Nakuguard where I came fro-....
[ 2010.06.30 09:43:50 ] XXX smiles.
[ 2010.06.30 09:44:53 ] XXX > Do you see now?
[ 2010.06.30 09:46:08 ] Eran Mintor > I don't think I do....XXX, I want to see....why can't you just tell me; if the Jove don't want us to help them, are we supposed to destroy them? I don't understand! *Eran ends in an uproar, frustrated by the seemingly helpess matter*
[ 2010.06.30 09:46:28 ] Eran Mintor > We were to see these artifacts....there is no doubt....but why?
[ 2010.06.30 09:47:09 ] XXX > Eran, they have already helped your people. More than you realize. They have given you the revenge you needed, allowed you to save your people.
[ 2010.06.30 09:47:20 ] Eran Mintor > Why would the Jove care to show us anything? Why is it so ambiguous? *Eran slams against his pod, causing static to interfere for a few seconds.*
[ 2010.06.30 09:48:00 ] XXX > The Amarr asked for their help, in a way they could not give. They miscalculated. Long, long ago.
[ 2010.06.30 09:48:20 ] Eran Mintor > Atioth....
[ 2010.06.30 09:48:30 ] XXX > No, long before that.
[ 2010.06.30 09:48:46 ] Eran Mintor > Hm
[ 2010.06.30 09:49:06 ] XXX > The Jove are the Sleepers. Or rather, they were.
[ 2010.06.30 09:49:34 ] Eran Mintor > The Jove are the Sleepers, but Awakened?
[ 2010.06.30 09:49:47 ] XXX > Yes.
[ 2010.06.30 09:50:25 ] XXX > They made many mistakes, Eran. They tried to correct them, but every time they have caused more problems.
[ 2010.06.30 09:50:29 ] Eran Mintor > ....Is this malediction hostile to you?
[ 2010.06.30 09:51:06 ] XXX > No.
[ 2010.06.30 09:51:17 ] Eran Mintor > Ah...okay....anyways....
[ 2010.06.30 09:51:19 ] XXX > Even if they are, it is of no concern.
[ 2010.06.30 09:51:58 ] Eran Mintor nods, "So if we are heirs to the Jovians mistakes, we will end up like them, and that is what Sansha Kuvakei aims to stop?"
[ 2010.06.30 09:52:10 ] XXX > Yes.
[ 2010.06.30 09:52:34 ] Eran Mintor > But then what mistakes will Kuvakei make?
[ 2010.06.30 09:52:58 ] XXX > I should dock, the influx of vessels in local is not a good sign. Not at this time.
[ 2010.06.30 09:53:05 ] Eran Mintor frowns.
[ 2010.06.30 09:53:13 ] Eran Mintor > Why now?
[ 2010.06.30 09:53:30 ] XXX > Kuvakei...
[ 2010.06.30 09:53:41 ] Eran Mintor > He is coming?
[ 2010.06.30 09:54:10 ] XXX > He has already miscalculated. He needs us. His slaves, his citizens, are not as controlled as he would have us believe.
[ 2010.06.30 09:54:54 ] XXX > At first we were heirs to a mistake. Now, we are heirs to a greater glory.
[ 2010.06.30 09:55:12 ] Eran Mintor > Today changed that?
[ 2010.06.30 09:55:39 ] XXX > No, today changed my path. Hopefully not to the point that I can not find my way back...
[ 2010.06.30 09:55:55 ] Eran Mintor frowns.
[ 2010.06.30 09:56:13 ] Eran Mintor > Aye....I do wish you luck....and hope to see you back beside me again.
[ 2010.06.30 09:56:18 ] Eran Mintor > ....what is this greater glory?
[ 2010.06.30 09:56:31 ] XXX > Apotheosis.
[ 2010.06.30 09:56:38 ] Eran Mintor > ....ar the Sansha doing genetical testing?
[ 2010.06.30 09:56:42 ] Eran Mintor > (are*)
[ 2010.06.30 09:56:44 ] XXX > The Society's goals.
[ 2010.06.30 09:57:57 ] XXX > Nation's path is one of evolution.
[ 2010.06.30 09:58:09 ] XXX > survival of the fittest.
[ 2010.06.30 09:58:28 ] XXX > This is why Kuvakei marks the Jove as weak.
[ 2010.06.30 09:58:38 ] XXX > His goals are so clear... so obvious...
[ 2010.06.30 09:59:03 ] Eran Mintor > The SoCT is a Jovian religion....
[ 2010.06.30 09:59:11 ] XXX > Yes.
[ 2010.06.30 10:00:34 ] Eran Mintor > But don't the Jove adapt through technology?
[ 2010.06.30 10:00:55 ] XXX > He is after Sleeper technology. He wishes to perfect it. The Oruze.
[ 2010.06.30 10:01:47 ] Eran Mintor > What the hell is the Oruze? What does it really mean?
[ 2010.06.30 10:01:58 ] Eran Mintor > I thought it was just storage....and transmissions....
[ 2010.06.30 10:02:19 ] XXX > It...
[ 2010.06.30 10:02:20 ] Eran Mintor > I guess....I heard residential....is it like the Kibutz of the Jove?
[ 2010.06.30 10:02:27 ] XXX > was an unfinished project.
[ 2010.06.30 10:02:50 ] Eran Mintor nods, "...I'm listening...."
[ 2010.06.30 10:03:01 ] XXX > The EVE Gate.
[ 2010.06.30 10:03:31 ] Eran Mintor > They want to go back through?
[ 2010.06.30 10:03:59 ] XXX > I think so.
[ 2010.06.30 10:04:09 ] Eran Mintor > What kind of waste of time is that....
[ 2010.06.30 10:04:16 ] XXX > Or, more accurately, to finish the network.
[ 2010.06.30 10:04:52 ] Eran Mintor frowns, "Wait...."
[ 2010.06.30 10:05:00 ] Eran Mintor > Hmm....I do think I am beginning ot understand now....
[ 2010.06.30 10:05:17 ] Eran Mintor > I just....I don't think there are answers beyond the EVE Gate that will help us as a people.
[ 2010.06.30 10:06:53 ] XXX > Eran, I don't think you understand; he's not wanting to open the Gate.
[ 2010.06.30 10:06:55 ] Eran Mintor > What will w find thre?
[ 2010.06.30 10:07:06 ] XXX > He's wanting to dominate the cluster, to prepare for what is coming.
[ 2010.06.30 10:07:08 ] Eran Mintor > I don't simply.....I'm trying to.
[ 2010.06.30 10:07:17 ] Eran Mintor > Hm.
[ 2010.06.30 10:07:39 ] XXX > The clue was Ametat and Avetat; an Amarrian allegory.
[ 2010.06.30 10:08:12 ] XXX > The EoM, who discovered something about the EVE Gate. Destroying what is here, so that "God's promised land" would be clean of infidels.
[ 2010.06.30 10:08:55 ] Eran Mintor > What is coming that Sansha will not bring himself?
[ 2010.06.30 10:10:24 ] XXX > Something the Jove are so afraid of that they developed a network designed to create deadspace pockets and travel between them efficiently, without warp drive.
[ 2010.06.30 10:10:49 ] Eran Mintor > ....
[ 2010.06.30 10:11:25 ] Eran Mintor looks weary and utterly confused, "I thought the Sleepers were eradicated by....a virus....a weapon?"
[ 2010.06.30 10:12:17 ] Eran Mintor clears his throat and hangs his head, silent.
[ 2010.06.30 10:12:49 ] XXX > If you were going to die, would you not do anything to postpone your fate? What if the fate of countless lives hung in the balance?
[ 2010.06.30 10:13:13 ] Eran Mintor > If everyone's going to die, what is the issue?
[ 2010.06.30 10:13:15 ] XXX > Quarantine A. Quarantine B. Quarantine C.
[ 2010.06.30 10:13:24 ] Eran Mintor > ...and X...
[ 2010.06.30 10:13:31 ] XXX nods.
[ 2010.06.30 10:13:56 ] XXX > Sleepers, Talocan, Jovians...
[ 2010.06.30 10:14:06 ] Eran Mintor > Capsuleers?
[ 2010.06.30 10:14:20 ] XXX > No, we are their heirs.
[ 2010.06.30 10:14:26 ] Eran Mintor scratches his head, "....or Sansha, as Kuvakei would hope...."
[ 2010.06.30 10:14:41 ] XXX > Everyone else.
[ 2010.06.30 10:14:45 ] Eran Mintor > I see....
[ 2010.06.30 10:15:10 ] XXX > Preserving what is left.
[ 2010.06.30 10:15:40 ] XXX > Apotheosis.
[ 2010.06.30 10:16:26 ] Eran Mintor > But, we're all going to die, XXX....what does extending our life do if we don't seek to-....
[ 2010.06.30 10:18:23 ] XXX > Did you ever hear those rumors of the Jove developing technology to destroy entire planets?
[ 2010.06.30 10:19:13 ] Eran Mintor > No.....
[ 2010.06.30 10:20:11 ] XXX > Ouria was a rogue General. He was assisted by your people. He was afflicted with the Jovian Disease by the report of his own people.
[ 2010.06.30 10:20:40 ] Eran Mintor > I thought the Jovian Disease was a mistake....
[ 2010.06.30 10:20:48 ] XXX > It was.
[ 2010.06.30 10:22:16 ] XXX > My mother read to me a story, a very old story. One line I remember. "In the twilight of our lives, we often see the mistakes we have made, the choices we regret. Many accept these as the past..."
[ 2010.06.30 10:22:22 ] XXX > "...and some try to make amends."
[ 2010.06.30 10:23:48 ] Eran Mintor > Aye....
[ 2010.06.30 10:24:35 ] XXX > Whatever happens, I need to see my path through to the end, wherever it may lead me.
[ 2010.06.30 10:24:52 ] Eran Mintor > I try to make amends; how can I help you XXX? You want me to kill you?
[ 2010.06.30 10:25:19 ] XXX > If it comes to that.
[ 2010.06.30 10:25:23 ] Eran Mintor > I don't understand how this makes anything right....killing you does not make ammends; not if you awake again and again....until God choses Himself to end you....
[ 2010.06.30 10:25:28 ] Eran Mintor > Then how else can I help?
[ 2010.06.30 10:25:34 ] XXX > At the very least, help remind me what it is I'm fighting for.
[ 2010.06.30 10:25:48 ] Eran Mintor > For her.
[ 2010.06.30 10:25:51 ] Eran Mintor > Who is she?
[ 2010.06.30 10:26:05 ] Eran Mintor > Tell me so that I can remind you.
[ 2010.06.30 10:26:17 ] XXX > She will be here.
[ 2010.06.30 10:26:32 ] Eran Mintor > Yulai?
[ 2010.06.30 10:26:42 ] XXX > No, this channel.
[ 2010.06.30 10:26:52 ] Eran Mintor > Alright.
[ 2010.06.30 10:27:06 ] XXX > Soter will as well, unless he is compromised. I do not trust him, not fully.
[ 2010.06.30 10:28:12 ] Eran Mintor > I don't really either....
[ 2010.06.30 10:28:18 ] Eran Mintor > Soter will what, though?
[ 2010.06.30 10:28:39 ] Eran Mintor > Oh....
[ 2010.06.30 10:28:44 ] Eran Mintor > I see this isn't a private channel.
[ 2010.06.30 10:28:51 ] Eran Mintor > I thought it was personal comms....I see now.
[ 2010.06.30 10:29:13 ] XXX > Do you know the meaning of the word Daedalid?
[ 2010.06.30 10:29:58 ] Eran Mintor > No.
[ 2010.06.30 10:30:48 ] XXX smiles. "The root is Daedal. Cleverly intricate."
[ 2010.06.30 10:31:47 ] Eran Mintor nods.
[ 2010.06.30 10:32:50 ] XXX > I will assist you as much as I can. If I become hostile, come to this channel.
[ 2010.06.30 10:33:33 ] Eran Mintor nods again, "I will do as you ask, if you think I can help."
[ 2010.06.30 10:34:15 ] XXX smiles. "Remind me of our time in W-space. Of me jumping into that wormhole, and not realizing where we were."
[ 2010.06.30 10:34:34 ] Eran Mintor laughs.
[ 2010.06.30 10:34:42 ] Eran Mintor > None of us knew where we were, XXX....
[ 2010.06.30 10:35:23 ] XXX grins. "I mean warping into the Oruze Construct and being completely unprepared. Did we both lose our Drakes, or was it just me?"
[ 2010.06.30 10:35:33 ] Eran Mintor > It was an adventure we will all remember, for the rest of our lives; a journey into the unknown abyss, completely surrounded by unfamiliarity, yet solace in solitude....
[ 2010.06.30 10:35:42 ] Eran Mintor laughs.
[ 2010.06.30 10:35:46 ] Eran Mintor > I think we both did....
[ 2010.06.30 10:35:54 ] Eran Mintor > Ah....
[ 2010.06.30 10:36:06 ] Eran Mintor > That crew didn't know what to expect....*Eran sighs*
[ 2010.06.30 10:36:37 ] Eran Mintor > I lost only one drake there, actually....and then the rest of my losses I believe were from combat with other capsule--...no matter....
[ 2010.06.30 10:36:51 ] Eran Mintor > We were all there for different reasons....
[ 2010.06.30 10:36:56 ] XXX nods.
[ 2010.06.30 10:37:15 ] XXX > I almost stayed there, alone in my Anathema.
[ 2010.06.30 10:37:20 ] Eran Mintor nods
[ 2010.06.30 10:37:29 ] Eran Mintor > I wouldn't have blamed you....
[ 2010.06.30 10:37:56 ] Eran Mintor > It was my desire to flee to the wormholes and live in them forever.....completely apart from the mishaps of the Empires and other fools....
[ 2010.06.30 10:38:44 ] Eran Mintor > But turning my back on them doesn't.....doesn't provide any apotheosis....
[ 2010.06.30 10:38:55 ] Eran Mintor > Why'd you come back?
[ 2010.06.30 10:39:20 ] XXX > Truthfully? I didn't want to be alone.
[ 2010.06.30 10:39:32 ] Eran Mintor nods
[ 2010.06.30 10:39:48 ] Eran Mintor > The solitude did get to me....I was used to being alone but....
[ 2010.06.30 10:39:49 ] XXX > I was alone though, when I came back. In so many ways.
[ 2010.06.30 10:40:20 ] Eran Mintor laughs a third time, "I remember being the only one in that system for hours....nobody to talk to....everyone was sleeping or outside...."
[ 2010.06.30 10:40:27 ] Eran Mintor nods solemnly, "Me too...."
[ 2010.06.30 10:40:47 ] Eran Mintor smirks a bit, "....things have changed now though....I'm engaged...perhaps somday....?"
[ 2010.06.30 10:40:52 ] Eran Mintor looks at XXX with a smile.
[ 2010.06.30 10:41:05 ] XXX > /emote raises an eyebrow.
[ 2010.06.30 10:41:27 ] Eran Mintor > ....someday you will find someone.
[ 2010.06.30 10:41:34 ] Eran Mintor > ....if not already?
[ 2010.06.30 10:41:36 ] Eran Mintor winks.
[ 2010.06.30 10:41:54 ] XXX > I've found someone. She's... a bit odd, but someone I trust.
[ 2010.06.30 10:42:22 ] Eran Mintor > ....don't forget who you are, XXX....we were all mere humans once; now we're capsuleers but what change does that make us other than status and power? We are the same breed....but a higher calling....
[ 2010.06.30 10:42:35 ] Eran Mintor nods, "Even a friend is enough, often."
[ 2010.06.30 10:43:01 ] XXX > She's... more than a friend.
[ 2010.06.30 10:43:06 ] Eran Mintor > Good.
[ 2010.06.30 10:43:32 ] Eran Mintor smiles at i, "I'm happy for you. I hope you do not...let her go."
[ 2010.06.30 10:43:49 ] XXX > I won't.
[ 2010.06.30 10:44:19 ] XXX > I missed talking to you Eran.
[ 2010.06.30 10:44:37 ] Eran Mintor a bit, "These may be dark times but happiness, even if short and intermntant, can show you a whole new light...."
[ 2010.06.30 10:44:55 ] Eran Mintor smiles and lets out a soft chuckle, "Aye....there are many people I miss and you are one of them, XXX."
[ 2010.06.30 10:45:15 ] Eran Mintor smirks, "....didn't care too much for Nakatre but you were always special."
[ 2010.06.30 10:45:34 ] XXX smiles. "Thank you. You and Ni... you and her have helped me find my humanity again.
[ 2010.06.30 10:45:43 ] Eran Mintor > ....as was Kharific and Cha....haven't heard from many others for awhile....Kai?....she was strange but....*Eran shrugs*
[ 2010.06.30 10:45:52 ] Eran Mintor smiles.
[ 2010.06.30 10:45:55 ] Eran Mintor > Good....
[ 2010.06.30 10:46:18 ] XXX > Kai helped me a while back. Gave me something that I hold very dear.
[ 2010.06.30 10:46:34 ] Eran Mintor nods.
[ 2010.06.30 10:46:44 ] Eran Mintor > I wish I got to know Kai better....circumstances didn't allow it...
[ 2010.06.30 10:46:54 ] XXX > Yeah.
[ 2010.06.30 10:46:58 ] Eran Mintor > Such a strange mix of people, there, hmm? *Eran smirks again*
[ 2010.06.30 10:47:31 ] XXX > I loved it. It felt like family. I... feel bad about leaving.
[ 2010.06.30 10:47:51 ] XXX > it's something I regretted, something I still regret.
[ 2010.06.30 10:47:56 ] Eran Mintor nods, "Well...Nakatre failed us....a leader broken."
[ 2010.06.30 10:48:09 ] Eran Mintor > You know all we worked for...
[ 2010.06.30 10:48:23 ] Eran Mintor > All we brought back, besides the experience and knowledge, went to her pockets?
[ 2010.06.30 10:48:40 ] XXX > What?
[ 2010.06.30 10:48:41 ] Eran Mintor > Perhaps the ISK is of little value, but it is what broke the family apart....
[ 2010.06.30 10:49:06 ] Eran Mintor frowns, "....I had director access....I viewed the logs....I saw she used corporate funds to buy two Sin's...."
[ 2010.06.30 10:49:34 ] Eran Mintor > And then she announced she was disappearing....
[ 2010.06.30 10:49:43 ] XXX > I never knew.
[ 2010.06.30 10:49:47 ] Eran Mintor shrugs, "I couldn't sit around....sometimes I wish things were different...."
[ 2010.06.30 10:50:11 ] Eran Mintor > ....I took what I could and left...Camperific and I forged our own new corporation only for him to disappear on a caravan....havent' seen him since....
[ 2010.06.30 10:50:25 ] Eran Mintor > ....Been floating about since....*Eran shrugs and looks down*
[ 2010.06.30 10:50:31 ] XXX > Something happened near the end. I could feel it.
[ 2010.06.30 10:50:38 ] XXX > I just didn't know what.
[ 2010.06.30 10:51:10 ] Eran Mintor nods.
[ 2010.06.30 10:51:18 ] Eran Mintor > Always something you can't see, I guess....till it's too late.
[ 2010.06.30 10:51:46 ] XXX > nods.
[ 2010.06.30 10:52:25 ] XXX > Well, I need to get to station. I need to lead morning prayer today for the Sect. That... might help focus my thoughts.
[ 2010.06.30 10:52:58 ] Eran Mintor nods, "Can I ask you one more thing?"
[ 2010.06.30 10:53:06 ] XXX > Yes, of course.
[ 2010.06.30 10:53:29 ] Eran Mintor > What is the relevance of Genesis? Yulai?
[ 2010.06.30 10:53:59 ] XXX > I believe Yulai was a focal point.
[ 2010.06.30 10:54:22 ] Eran Mintor > ....but for what?
[ 2010.06.30 10:54:31 ] XXX > A navigation network.
[ 2010.06.30 10:54:56 ] Eran Mintor > Ah...
[ 2010.06.30 10:55:15 ] XXX > Eran, Nation found something.
[ 2010.06.30 10:55:20 ] XXX > Something very dangerous.
[ 2010.06.30 10:55:21 ] Eran Mintor > The interstellar network....
[ 2010.06.30 10:55:34 ] XXX > No, something that could travel the network.
[ 2010.06.30 10:55:42 ] Eran Mintor > Data?
[ 2010.06.30 10:56:18 ] Eran Mintor > .....a program?
[ 2010.06.30 10:56:18 ] XXX smiles sadly, "Eran, they need capsuleers. We're the key to it all.
[ 2010.06.30 10:56:31 ] Eran Mintor > Why do they need us, though....I don't understand....
[ 2010.06.30 10:57:06 ] XXX > Eran, what are we?
[ 2010.06.30 10:57:25 ] XXX > What does a Capsule do? What is it designed for?
[ 2010.06.30 10:57:28 ] Eran Mintor > We're men and women with more power than most.
[ 2010.06.30 10:57:49 ] Eran Mintor > We're capsuleers; we can manuevere from mere thoughts....
[ 2010.06.30 10:58:07 ] Eran Mintor > We are the ship as much as it is us...
[ 2010.06.30 10:58:16 ] XXX smiles. "Look up Method of Loci."
[ 2010.06.30 10:58:21 ] Eran Mintor > But....*Eran shakes his head*....
[ 2010.06.30 10:58:26 ] Eran Mintor > Alright....I will.
[ 2010.06.30 10:58:34 ] Eran Mintor > Take care, XXX....I will talk to you soon....
[ 2010.06.30 10:58:47 ] Eran Mintor > Be well.
[ 2010.06.30 10:58:47 ] XXX > It will explain everything, and why Nation is important.
[ 2010.06.30 10:58:53 ] XXX > You too Eran.

Hi.
