[ 2015.01.23 04:14:45 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > Ave, Lord Tash Murkon..
[ 2015.01.23 04:14:53 ] Ibrahim Tash-Murkon > text> Good evening, Miss Daphiti! How might I be of service.
[ 2015.01.23 04:15:21 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > I wanted to thank you for joining the effort last night. I am sorry that Pyre lost all semblance of civility and forgot why they were there.
[ 2015.01.23 04:15:47 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > Per SFRIM's policy, we have sent you isk to cover your ship and pod according to the amounts reported on the killboards.
[ 2015.01.23 04:16:04 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > I did umm want to broach a subject with you though.
[ 2015.01.23 04:16:15 ] Ibrahim Tash-Murkon > text> Of course.
[ 2015.01.23 04:16:36 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > SFRIM was not shot at last night by anyone except Nauplius.
[ 2015.01.23 04:17:00 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > Because we have maintained civil relations with a wide range of organizations on the Amarr/Caldari umbrella, otherwise known as blue status.
[ 2015.01.23 04:17:18 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > I know you are an independent business man...
[ 2015.01.23 04:18:06 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > But I wanted to invite you to join the Society. You would remain free to conduct your affairs as you wish. We do not have mandatory activities for members. But you'd have the benefit of others in matters such as this.
[ 2015.01.23 04:18:08 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > in the future.
[ 2015.01.23 04:18:58 ] Ibrahim Tash-Murkon > text> In all honesty I had been considering something along those lines.
[ 2015.01.23 04:19:40 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote nods, "I would be happy to discuss this over a drink once you are stationside if you wish to discuss it."
[ 2015.01.23 04:19:50 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > It is very rare, i approach someone. I usually wait for someoneto approach us...
[ 2015.01.23 04:19:56 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote smiles slightly.
[ 2015.01.23 04:20:18 ] Ibrahim Tash-Murkon > text> Then I am very honored by the invitation.
[ 2015.01.23 04:21:08 ] Ibrahim Tash-Murkon > text> There are certain aspects which might be problematic but as we both seem to have arrived at the idea at the sametime it would seem that it is a course of action worth serious consideration.
[ 2015.01.23 04:21:43 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote nods. "We have sufficient cash flow, i would be willing to reduce our tax rates, if that is the key difficulty."
[ 2015.01.23 04:22:03 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "We do have a POS for research and manufacture. Lucas overseees that.
[ 2015.01.23 04:22:24 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > That is the sole place we require an API check, however. But all members are welcome to ask for jobs to be run by Lucas or Reinheart otherwise."
[ 2015.01.23 04:23:17 ] Ibrahim Tash-Murkon > text> There are benefits to be had, clearly.
[ 2015.01.23 04:23:20 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > We do have 5 POCOS for PI.
[ 2015.01.23 04:23:24 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > As well, tax free for members.
[ 2015.01.23 04:23:50 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > We also maintaining a mining POS but I suspect you do not do that/ However you could refine ores if you had the skills.
[ 2015.01.23 04:24:52 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > We also have an SRP program of up to 50 million a month.
[ 2015.01.23 04:24:57 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > that sums up our corporate benefits.
[ 2015.01.23 04:25:40 ] Ibrahim Tash-Murkon > text> I think it would be prudent, and enjoyable, to discuss the possibilities over a drink or two.
[ 2015.01.23 04:25:56 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote nods. "Please do not hesitate to contact me when ready Sir"
[ 2015.01.23 04:26:07 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "I will send you the coordinates of our private bar."
[ 2015.01.23 04:26:20 ] Ibrahim Tash-Murkon > text> Perhaps tomorrow evening?
[ 2015.01.23 04:26:31 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > I will almost certaintly be around.
[ 2015.01.23 04:26:40 ] Ibrahim Tash-Murkon > text> Then it is a date.
[ 2015.01.23 04:26:58 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote smiles. "I look forward to it." She disconnects.

Location: SFRIM Offices. Bar. Nahyeen VII, Zoar & Sons FactorySetting: The main gathering area of the Society, the bar sports plush leather couches centered around a long coffee table. Low music plays songs from around the galaxy. The soft blue lighting is easy on the eyes, but still light enough to see what you're doing and where you're going. The shelves are filled haphazardly with bottles of spirits, clearly labeled. Luna's name is by the spiced wine and other vintages from around New Eden, with a few religious texts leaning against the bottles. The whiskeys shelf label has been taped over by Freya and Lucas, each bidding for ownership. There is a shelf with rum on it, with a fresh label reading 'Alexi'. Above that, is Nicoletta's shelf, with juice mixes and exotic wine, with a few bottles of absinthe here and there. Cocktail mixers and a jar of little umbrellas wrapped with a piece of tape reading 'Gottin's Dont Touch!!' is on her shelf. There is a shelf with a pair of bottles, one full of Absynth and the other full of Chocolate Irish Cream and etched "Lady Anise Tig'res of the Khanid Kingdom." A long line of bottles of Quafe are on a shelf with a "DON'T TOUCH!" sign by Rhoxy. Johanes has a shelf with brandies and cognac and a lone bottle of smurgleblaster. There are a few other shelves that hold overflow for now, waiting for new corp members to claim them.

[ 2015.01.24 03:04:31 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote notes that when and if Ibrhaim arrives, he'd be shown through the entry foyer to the offices by a servant. 23 rather bedraggled people would also be in the foyer, consisting of women, men and children, all looking rather shell-shocked. -c-
[ 2015.01.24 03:05:43 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > Servants would be tending to their needs or helping with child care. Luna is already in this room. She is curled up under a plush blanket on the edge of the couch, feet covered in pink fuzzy slippers showing at the edge of the blanket. She is -c-
[ 2015.01.24 03:05:56 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote sipping what appears to be a mug of Irish type coffee.
[ 2015.01.24 03:06:48 ] Ibrahim Tash-Murkon > /emote enters, having followed the coordinates previously relayed to him. He notes the cozy and somewhat homey atmosphere.
[ 2015.01.24 03:07:32 ] Ibrahim Tash-Murkon > /emote goes as he had been directed by the servants and tilts his head in amusement once finding Luna, "It's not quite what I expected."
[ 2015.01.24 03:07:51 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Hello Ibrahim", Luna says in an amused voice from her place in the couch " Do make yourself comfortable."
[ 2015.01.24 03:08:37 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Would you like your promised drink?"
[ 2015.01.24 03:09:23 ] Ibrahim Tash-Murkon > /emote sits opposite Luna, not entirely at ease in the unfamiliar place. "Oh- yes. Thank you."
[ 2015.01.24 03:09:30 ] Ibrahim Tash-Murkon > "And good evening, by the way."
[ 2015.01.24 03:10:51 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Good evenine as well. Do be at ease." She slides the blanket off, revealing she is wearing a plain White Linen Dress. She pads over behind the bar, "We don't stand too much on formality once we're behind these doors. She glances at the doors to -c-
[ 2015.01.24 03:10:56 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > the foyer and the chapel.
[ 2015.01.24 03:11:21 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote rubs her hands together "So what can I make you?"
[ 2015.01.24 03:13:48 ] Ibrahim Tash-Murkon > "I've become partial to a cocktail called "millionaire sour" as of late. The virgin variety."
[ 2015.01.24 03:14:36 ] Ibrahim Tash-Murkon > "But anything is fine, I'm not picky. I am a little nosy though, um, who are your guests?"
[ 2015.01.24 03:14:50 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote wrinkles her brown as if in thought. She gets a glazed look as if calling up data from an implant.
[ 2015.01.24 03:15:53 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote turns to the shelves glancing at what's available. As she does she answers Ibrahim. "Oh. 23 of the survivors from the so called Blood Winery. We've not placed them yet."
[ 2015.01.24 03:16:30 ] Ibrahim Tash-Murkon > /emote nods just a little gravely, "A shame more weren't saved."
[ 2015.01.24 03:16:44 ] Ibrahim Tash-Murkon > /emote looks at some of the children, "Still, each one counts."
[ 2015.01.24 03:16:48 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote tippy toes to reach a bottle of sloe gin. She move along the shelves. "Yes. I was a ruin for most of the week. The others we saved are with PIE"
[ 2015.01.24 03:17:20 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote finds a bottle of apricot brandy and that joins the other on the bar, "The ones in the foyer were picked up by Ms. Runekin who brough them here."
[ 2015.01.24 03:18:07 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote wrinkles her nose and she selects a bottle of Sarum Rum and places that on the bar. "Given what they've gone through they are fairly alright all things considered.."
[ 2015.01.24 03:18:09 ] Ibrahim Tash-Murkon > "I'm sure it goes without say that if there's anything I can do..." He trails off, sure his point is obvious.
[ 2015.01.24 03:18:33 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Well. We need a holder to take them in. A proper Holder." She leans below the bar and disappears.
[ 2015.01.24 03:18:57 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "What do you think the purpose of Slavery is Ibrahim?" She calls from out of sight.
[ 2015.01.24 03:19:16 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote reappears with a bottle of grenadine and begins to mix.
[ 2015.01.24 03:19:23 ] Ibrahim Tash-Murkon > "That's a fairly deep question."
[ 2015.01.24 03:19:45 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote says matter of factly "yes, it is."
[ 2015.01.24 03:19:46 ] Ibrahim Tash-Murkon > "My father said it was like childhood. But for an entire people."
[ 2015.01.24 03:20:13 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote quietly listens as she pours the different components.
[ 2015.01.24 03:21:05 ] Ibrahim Tash-Murkon > "Their freedom is denied so that, over time, they grow with our guidance."
[ 2015.01.24 03:21:24 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > And how do you offer that guidance?
[ 2015.01.24 03:21:44 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote walks over to the refrigerator and begins to rummage. She returns with a lime.
[ 2015.01.24 03:22:49 ] Ibrahim Tash-Murkon > "That's the great question, isn't? Why do some slaves so easily take to the Faith, while others resist even under the most extreme educational methods employed in the Empire?"
[ 2015.01.24 03:23:06 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote nods slightly. She squeezes the lime.
[ 2015.01.24 03:24:22 ] Ibrahim Tash-Murkon > "In general I believe the best method is to give them a regimented life, with work and a home, a family when and if they choose, and set them on the path of the Faith through their schooling and church attendance."
[ 2015.01.24 03:24:51 ] Ibrahim Tash-Murkon > "Once they are cared for and are taught in the Faith the last leap surely is between them and God."
[ 2015.01.24 03:25:35 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote nods slightly.
[ 2015.01.24 03:25:54 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote makes her way from the bar and presents Ibrahim with his drink "I hope this is satisfactory?"
[ 2015.01.24 03:26:53 ] Ibrahim Tash-Murkon > /emote takes a sip, testing, and then another smiling, "As if you've made them all your life."
[ 2015.01.24 03:27:10 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote gives a slight smile as she returns to her seat. "Thank you."
[ 2015.01.24 03:27:42 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > It seems you'd make a good holder for these people. You are a man of Faith I can tell.
[ 2015.01.24 03:27:42 ] Ibrahim Tash-Murkon > "Do you have an opinion of your own on the issue?"
[ 2015.01.24 03:27:58 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > ((switch our lines))
[ 2015.01.24 03:29:23 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote smiles at Ibrahim, what you've said is essentially the Society's position.
[ 2015.01.24 03:29:48 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "I've mulled the question of whether it is more important in God's eyes to be True Amarr or to be a rightous person who follows his Will. What do you think"
[ 2015.01.24 03:30:07 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote pulls the blanket back over herself as she curls kittenishly on the couch.
[ 2015.01.24 03:31:16 ] Ibrahim Tash-Murkon > "I know of True Amarr who I am sure do not have a place with God and I know others of all races that I believe most certainly do. You may read into that what you will."
[ 2015.01.24 03:32:03 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote nods slightly. She sips her spiked coffee. "Oh God I needed this after this week."
[ 2015.01.24 03:32:54 ] Ibrahim Tash-Murkon > /emote smiles. "It's a very old saying that alcohol is proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy."
[ 2015.01.24 03:33:10 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote chuckles. "At times I need that reminder."
[ 2015.01.24 03:33:23 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote looks at Ibrahim "have you recovered from your unfortunate podding?"
[ 2015.01.24 03:35:12 ] Ibrahim Tash-Murkon > "Yes, it's very odd. It's only the second time that that has happened. In instances where I was prepared. At the end of my capsuleer training or when using a jump clone for instance it's only somewhat uncomfortable."
[ 2015.01.24 03:35:36 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote nods. "You are fortunate. You do seem to have survived with few visible ill effects."
[ 2015.01.24 03:35:37 ] Ibrahim Tash-Murkon > "When it happens suddenly and violently I find it somewhat...hellish."
[ 2015.01.24 03:35:49 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote nods.
[ 2015.01.24 03:36:16 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "I am sorry it happened. If you had been part of the Society perhaps it wouldn't have. No guarantees of course."
[ 2015.01.24 03:36:33 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "But Pyre did reimburse Ms. Runekin and refrained from shooting the rest of us in SFRIM."
[ 2015.01.24 03:37:04 ] Ibrahim Tash-Murkon > "It's just as much my own error. Not being accustomed to military operations it did not at all occur to me to take measures ahead of time."
[ 2015.01.24 03:37:11 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote nods.
[ 2015.01.24 03:37:22 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "We have a full time diplomat whose job it is to worry about that"
[ 2015.01.24 03:37:27 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "he has done a good job, Lucas."
[ 2015.01.24 03:37:42 ] Ibrahim Tash-Murkon > "I'm sure he does."
[ 2015.01.24 03:38:06 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "A night like that at the Tower, however, makes me question God sometimes. Forgive me for saying so, My question passed quickly in all events"
[ 2015.01.24 03:38:18 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote sighs as she sips her drink.
[ 2015.01.24 03:38:57 ] Ibrahim Tash-Murkon > "If it all made sense, if we never questioned or worried, then it wouldn't be Faith."
[ 2015.01.24 03:39:10 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "True. I am curious then, What do you think the fundamental purpose of our Faith after a night like that?"
[ 2015.01.24 03:39:17 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > *Faith is
[ 2015.01.24 03:40:25 ] Ibrahim Tash-Murkon > /emote is thoughtful for a moment, "Why do you think Pyre was there?"
[ 2015.01.24 03:41:38 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > Honestly? Since they added very little to the tower assault itself.
[ 2015.01.24 03:41:52 ] Ibrahim Tash-Murkon > "Always honestly."
[ 2015.01.24 03:41:54 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > I think they wanted to "troll' Admiral John Revenant and then spite him by shooting the hangar.
[ 2015.01.24 03:42:53 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Nevermind that 50,000 people were in it. " Her good mood is rapidly fading.
[ 2015.01.24 03:43:10 ] Ibrahim Tash-Murkon > "And why do you think I-RED came?"
[ 2015.01.24 03:43:18 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > PIE requested that they come.
[ 2015.01.24 03:43:32 ] Ibrahim Tash-Murkon > "Yes. Now, why were you there?"
[ 2015.01.24 03:44:09 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > To do our small part in lighting a candle in the darkness.... We did save several thousand at least from being turned into wine while alive in a horrible death.
[ 2015.01.24 03:44:22 ] Ibrahim Tash-Murkon > "That's what our Faith is for."
[ 2015.01.24 03:44:36 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote nods with a slight smile. She sips her cocoa.
[ 2015.01.24 03:44:54 ] Ibrahim Tash-Murkon > "Or I could be wrong. We could all be wrong."
[ 2015.01.24 03:45:03 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Yes, That is one way to put it,. I don't think you are wrong."
[ 2015.01.24 03:45:30 ] Ibrahim Tash-Murkon > "And even if we are, the Cluster seems better off for it."
[ 2015.01.24 03:45:47 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote nods. "Can you take in the people in my foyer?"
[ 2015.01.24 03:47:02 ] Ibrahim Tash-Murkon > /emote pauses, considering. "I can't really say no."
[ 2015.01.24 03:47:04 ] Ibrahim Tash-Murkon > "Of course."
[ 2015.01.24 03:47:08 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote smiles.
[ 2015.01.24 03:48:30 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "We need more people like you. Would you be willing to join us? You can still do what you choose but I think we are all stronger for standing together with the other Faithful" -c-
[ 2015.01.24 03:48:47 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote says from memory. "Surround yourself with the faithful, Stand together, for there is no strength like it under the heavens."
[ 2015.01.24 03:49:59 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote sips her coffee gazing levelly at Ibrahim.
[ 2015.01.24 03:50:32 ] Ibrahim Tash-Murkon > /emote rubs his chin thoughfully. "To be honest, the more I think about it the more I worry that moving isn't the right move. I am very comfortable where I am. But then, I can't really say all I have said now about Faith and then let doubt get the bette...
[ 2015.01.24 03:50:33 ] Ibrahim Tash-Murkon > of me."
[ 2015.01.24 03:51:25 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "I understand. It is a big change. Is there anything I can answer for you about us that would help strengthen your faith?"
[ 2015.01.24 03:52:21 ] Ibrahim Tash-Murkon > "Well, I think you should know that I do not plan to dissolve my firm. However, I will be transferring its operations to a trustworthy subordinate."
[ 2015.01.24 03:52:55 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote nods. "Quite understandable, and given your business contracts,one I would anticipate"
[ 2015.01.24 03:54:39 ] Ibrahim Tash-Murkon > "As long as my business can continue while I am registered with SFRIM then I see no reason not to give this new arrangement a try."
[ 2015.01.24 03:54:51 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Then I would be delighted to." She pauses...
[ 2015.01.24 03:55:12 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Praefecta Nicolleeta requires that I interview every applicant and ask the same four questions."
[ 2015.01.24 03:55:32 ] Ibrahim Tash-Murkon > "I shall endeavour to answer them."
[ 2015.01.24 03:55:54 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote sips her coffee, looks up says in a amused voice "But you've already done that. I am pleased to offer you a formal invitation to the Society."
[ 2015.01.24 03:57:04 ] Ibrahim Tash-Murkon > /emote smiles. "Well, even better then."
[ 2015.01.24 03:58:00 ] Ibrahim Tash-Murkon > "In anticipation of this I arranged my legal staff to begin the work of reorganizing the firm. As such I hopefully will not need more than 24 to 48 hours to submit a revised registration to CONCORD."
[ 2015.01.24 03:58:06 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > As you may have roles, accept when you are able. I understand.
[ 2015.01.24 04:02:24 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > You are welcome to stay if you wish but I am sure you need to go to Amarr to finalize matters...
[ 2015.01.24 04:02:29 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote tilts her head slightly.
[ 2015.01.24 04:04:01 ] Ibrahim Tash-Murkon > /emote stands and sets his drink down. "Yes, I do have some things I'll need to do. Thank you for a lovely intake process."
[ 2015.01.24 04:04:31 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote smiles. "Thank you. Have a Blessed night and safe trip back to the Crownworlds."
[ 2015.01.24 04:04:41 ] Ibrahim Tash-Murkon > /emote motions to the huddled mass. "If I send a transport to pick them up I'm sure your staff with know what to do?"
[ 2015.01.24 04:04:57 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote nods. "Yes"
[ 2015.01.24 04:05:18 ] Ibrahim Tash-Murkon > "Alright then. Good night Luna."
[ 2015.01.24 04:05:42 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote smiles. She allows Ibrahim to be showed out by a staff member so he can make his way.
