******Luna's Response***

#109 - 2014-12-23 13:21:39 UTC | Edited by: Lunarisse Aspenstar

My very warmest Congratulations to Stalking Mantis. May your Faith and Will remain steadfast.

As for me. I am deeply humbled and offer my heartfelt thanks for this recognition as well. Service, however, is also its own reward. From a bigger perspective, I hope this unsought , but appreciated, honor may serve as a reminder to others that there are many different Vocations and ways to be service depending on where one's God-given talents lay or are nurtured.

[ 2014.12.23 19:32:39 ] Zul'tammash Khadesh > The Amarr are a sacred people chosen by god to be his messengers to all of mankind. I am proud to be amongst the Khanid to have been the first to join their crusade to save the souls of all mankind.
[ 2014.12.23 19:33:07 ] Frenjo Borkstar > Looks like Caldari can be bribed...
[ 2014.12.23 19:33:10 ] Diana Kim > So, Mr. Kintrhas, if your soul will be in two bodies at once, you will be able to feel both bodies at once.
[ 2014.12.23 19:33:17 ] Frenjo Borkstar > They're holding off on the execution for a while./
[ 2014.12.23 19:33:42 ] Diana Kim > /emote taps datapad: "I am sending them request to put fresh guards near your cell, so they won't be taking bribes"
[ 2014.12.23 19:33:53 ] Frenjo Borkstar > Oh come on...
[ 2014.12.23 19:33:55 ] Kinthras > But as you stated, you are Khanid. So no matter how you put things, you are in fact not one of the "chosen people", what means your god doesn't give a damn about you
[ 2014.12.23 19:34:30 ] Frenjo Borkstar > That navy rep you were talking too didn't look too intent on shooting me in the face...
[ 2014.12.23 19:34:34 ] Frenjo Borkstar > talking to*
[ 2014.12.23 19:35:12 ] Diana Kim > Shooting prisoner in face is inappropriate. Guilt must be proven, and execution performed by standards.
[ 2014.12.23 19:35:21 ] Zul'tammash Khadesh > Your words are false. The Amarr may have been chosen to receive the message, but were charged with carrying it to the rest of mankind. You imply that the honored messenger is the only one meant to hear the message.
[ 2014.12.23 19:35:32 ] Ano Algaert > Religion is a disease. No point to argue with fanatic.
[ 2014.12.23 19:35:57 ] Kinthras > I agree Ms. Algaert
[ 2014.12.23 19:36:02 ] Diana Kim > Humans were born to believe. A human without faith isn't a human, just a flesh machine and parody on live being.
[ 2014.12.23 19:36:11 ] Frenjo Borkstar > Jesus christ, cut the religious crap. We're not a 'chosen people', we have no divine rights whatsoever.
[ 2014.12.23 19:36:22 ] Frenjo Borkstar > Where did I pick up that expression again?
[ 2014.12.23 19:37:02 ] Kinthras > /emote is stunned and fascinated to hear such words from an Amarr
[ 2014.12.23 19:37:27 ] Frenjo Borkstar > Honestly, I hated my religious upbringing.
[ 2014.12.23 19:38:12 ] Diana Kim > Besides, all Gods exist. And Amarr deity is the most powerful of them. Those, who don't believe in this are either fools or idiots... or... *ponders* Wait, isn't it the same?...
[ 2014.12.23 19:38:28 ] Frenjo Borkstar > Don't get all like that, Diana.
[ 2014.12.23 19:39:12 ] Diana Kim > Religion is a way of world view, it is a legacy of your ancestors, and you should respect it, like I respect mine.
[ 2014.12.23 19:39:39 ] Frenjo Borkstar > If I respected my ancestors, I probably wouldn't have killed someone.
[ 2014.12.23 19:40:10 ] Ano Algaert > Religion creates war and slavery.
[ 2014.12.23 19:40:36 ] Thal Vadam > "People create war"
[ 2014.12.23 19:40:37 ] Nauplius > And war and slavery are good.
[ 2014.12.23 19:40:39 ] Diana Kim > Religion creates laws and morals
[ 2014.12.23 19:40:51 ] Diana Kim > War comes from conflicts of peoples
[ 2014.12.23 19:41:00 ] Diana Kim > Thank you, Mr. Vadam
[ 2014.12.23 19:41:03 ] Frenjo Borkstar > Nauplius, from personal experience, slavery isn't good.
[ 2014.12.23 19:42:13 ] Diana Kim > I would like to remind anyone, that in the State territory slavery is outlawed. This means you can't be a slave, you can own slave, transport slave, trade them or use them.
[ 2014.12.23 19:42:53 ] Thal Vadam > "Thank you commander"
[ 2014.12.23 19:43:05 ] Frenjo Borkstar > Yes... Slavery is not good.
[ 2014.12.23 19:43:08 ] Frenjo Borkstar > Personal experience told me that.
[ 2014.12.23 19:43:31 ] Nauplius > Slavery is beautiful. Slavery is divine.
[ 2014.12.23 19:43:57 ] Frenjo Borkstar > Nauplius... You have the sense of a true Amarrian, and I really respect that, but please, let's be modest in our beliefs.
[ 2014.12.23 19:44:20 ] Diana Kim > As far as I understand, it is a cultural construct in the Empire, and it is an institution akin to our public schools. It is affair of the Empire, not us, and to them to decide, to slavery within their borders or not
[ 2014.12.23 19:44:33 ] liliasha flamedancer > /emote connects
[ 2014.12.23 19:44:48 ] Diana Kim > But in the State it is prohibited.
[ 2014.12.23 19:44:49 ] liliasha flamedancer > /emote salutes crisply, before sitting back comfortably in her high backed chair
[ 2014.12.23 19:45:00 ] Diana Kim > /emote bows: "Greetings, Ms. Flamedancer"
[ 2014.12.23 19:45:16 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > Hello Colonel Flamedancer.
[ 2014.12.23 19:45:25 ] liliasha flamedancer > /emote "Greetings Ms. Kim" nodding
[ 2014.12.23 19:45:32 ] Diana Kim > /emote bows: "Greetings, Lady Aspenstar"
[ 2014.12.23 19:45:43 ] Zul'tammash Khadesh > It is not man's place to decide morality. God commanded the Athrans to enslave all infidels in the reclaiming and they succeeded in their sacred quest.
[ 2014.12.23 19:45:46 ] liliasha flamedancer > /emote smiles and salutes "Ms Aspenstar"
[ 2014.12.23 19:45:56 ] Diana Kim > /emote salutes: "Im sorry, colonel!"
[ 2014.12.23 19:45:56 ] Thal Vadam > /emote bows "Hello Luna"

[ 2014.12.23 19:46:35 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote smiles politely at Captain Kim and Templar Vadam.
[ 2014.12.23 19:46:57 ] Frenjo Borkstar > /emote would smile at them all, trying to remain neutral.
[ 2014.12.23 19:47:52 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > I an not sure if I should gather from your earlier comments that you were enslaved Mr. Borkstar?
[ 2014.12.23 19:48:35 ] Spyra Gryra > Congratulations on your award, Aspenstar.
[ 2014.12.23 19:49:06 ] Frenjo Borkstar > Briefly, there was an incident, someone was eager for me to do something I didn't want to do.
[ 2014.12.23 19:49:16 ] Frenjo Borkstar > Or... Couldn't be sure that my word was good enough.
[ 2014.12.23 19:49:19 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote blushes slightly and says very softly "thank you." She turns her attention back to Borkstar.
[ 2014.12.23 19:50:10 ] Diana Kim > Oh... Congratulations, milady!!
[ 2014.12.23 19:51:21 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > What do you mean, Mr. Borkstar?
[ 2014.12.23 19:51:36 ] Frenjo Borkstar > I'd prefer not to get into it.
[ 2014.12.23 19:52:14 ] liliasha flamedancer > /emote sits straight in her chair, only her eyes paying attention to the movements of communications on her screen, and a polite smile on her face, only reaching down to sip from an elengant glass
[ 2014.12.23 19:52:26 ] liliasha flamedancer > /emote "I take it all is well in the sea of stars tonight?"
[ 2014.12.23 19:53:29 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > As you wish. *to Iiliasha* Well enough. My particular place in the sea is planetbound at present.
[ 2014.12.23 19:54:09 ] Ghelisis Achasse > /emote connects
[ 2014.12.23 19:54:32 ] Ghelisis Achasse > my brother keeps biting off more than he can chew *grumble*
[ 2014.12.23 19:54:48 ] Blue spy > Woah, full house.
[ 2014.12.23 19:54:50 ] Blue spy > Hello everybody.
[ 2014.12.23 19:55:04 ] Diana Kim > /emote bows to newcomers: "Greetings"
[ 2014.12.23 19:55:05 ] liliasha flamedancer > /emote nods politely, her smile, well practised but also genuine, "Planetbound is a must sometimes, I rarely get the chance... duty, and faith, always call..."
[ 2014.12.23 19:55:19 ] Frenjo Borkstar > /emote smiles at them both.
[ 2014.12.23 19:55:22 ] liliasha flamedancer > /emote salutes crisply and happily to the newcomers
[ 2014.12.23 19:55:46 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > Yes, Duty as always must be honored. It is a pleasure to meet someone new who responds to Duty and Faith.
[ 2014.12.23 19:56:34 ] liliasha flamedancer > /emote nods slightly lower then before, "Empire, Empress, God" making emphasis with a slight bow
[ 2014.12.23 19:56:58 ] Diana Kim > Ahh, we were talking about Faith.
[ 2014.12.23 19:57:18 ] Frenjo Borkstar > Faith... What faith?
[ 2014.12.23 19:57:31 ] Diana Kim > /emote ponders: "Hmmm... actually, we were talking about philosophy, but somehow it switched to divine"
[ 2014.12.23 19:57:44 ] Frenjo Borkstar > A topic that... Isn't my specialist area.
[ 2014.12.23 19:57:50 ] Ghelisis Achasse > My bro has made a thriving business planetside refurbishing old spacecraft hulls for eclectic homes planetside. I was planetside for half a year helping him to refurbish a Caracal hull, and now he has a Raven hull on order.
[ 2014.12.23 19:57:53 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote looks sadly at Borkstar. "I see. Well the IGS doesn't tend to be a fruitfl place for such discussions anyway"
[ 2014.12.23 19:58:04 ] Ghelisis Achasse > No idea how they are getting that thing down there intact.
[ 2014.12.23 19:58:13 ] Blue spy > A whole caracal hull?
[ 2014.12.23 19:58:19 ] Phaezen Outamon > /emote glances at his controls as a proximity alarm goes off, looks worried for a moment then relaxes as the familiar sounds of his ship returning to warp are heard
[ 2014.12.23 19:58:35 ] Thal Vadam > /emote frowns at Borkstar and disconnects
[ 2014.12.23 19:58:44 ] Blue spy > I am so jealous of your family, Ghelisis Achasse. I can't help but find it too awkward trying to converse with non-capsuleers.
[ 2014.12.23 19:59:04 ] Diana Kim > I like to discuss philosophy, and I believe each soldier should be a bit philosopher... or we all become cЯazy
[ 2014.12.23 19:59:11 ] Frenjo Borkstar > /emote would look off-camera, as the forcefield around the cell goes down, and can be seen taking something from a guard, returning to view, "Right... I'm back again."
[ 2014.12.23 20:00:18 ] Phaezen Outamon > warped right on top of some sleeper drones, a less than fun experience
[ 2014.12.23 20:00:30 ] Ghelisis Achasse > Yes a whole Caracal hull. He is really good at that, the cargohold has been trasnformed into a gymnasium. amazing. The former command bridge is a bedroom.
[ 2014.12.23 20:00:32 ] liliasha flamedancer > /emote smiles politely, and passively again, not showing more then a hint of another emotion below the surface, "Faith should be something we speak of fondly, it is something someone must learn willingly. Everyone is faithful in their own way."
[ 2014.12.23 20:00:33 ] Diana Kim > /emote stretches her palm to camera: "How the hell they even allow NeoComs in cameras?!"
[ 2014.12.23 20:01:14 ] Diana Kim > I fully agree with you, Colonel. A human without faith isn't a human.
[ 2014.12.23 20:02:41 ] Blue spy > What's faith to the immortal capsuleer?
[ 2014.12.23 20:03:22 ] Diana Kim > Immortality is a hoax
[ 2014.12.23 20:03:26 ] Diana Kim > /emote sticks tongue out
[ 2014.12.23 20:05:05 ] liliasha flamedancer > /emote Quotes "Faith in life. Duty in god. Immortality in war. Ascendance to Heaven." with an unfliching smile.
[ 2014.12.23 20:05:18 ] Blue spy > You should be careful sticking your tongue out to the wrong people, Diana! Or you might end up with a hole in that too.
[ 2014.12.23 20:06:34 ] Frenjo Borkstar > Talking of wrong people...
[ 2014.12.23 20:06:37 ] Blue spy > And I envy your sense of conviction. I've been flying around without any sense of purpose ever since I left the institute.
[ 2014.12.23 20:07:08 ] Frenjo Borkstar > /emote would roll up one sleeve of his cloak, and inject himself with a purple injector-bottle, before turning back to the camera.
[ 2014.12.23 20:08:04 ] Evelyn Valate > congratulations on winning the thing, miss Aspenstar
[ 2014.12.23 20:08:22 ] Lyer Jathier > Hrm?
[ 2014.12.23 20:08:25 ] Spyra Gryra > Everyone's talking about it!
[ 2014.12.23 20:08:33 ] Lyer Jathier > Who?
[ 2014.12.23 20:08:37 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote looks even more sheepish, and disconnects with an embarassed look on her face.
[ 2014.12.23 20:08:55 ] Lyer Jathier > Winning what?
[ 2014.12.23 20:09:11 ] Frenjo Borkstar > Just had to take my... Well it begins with a V, take a guess.
[ 2014.12.23 20:09:15 ] Evelyn Valate > the PIE award for Amarr of the year.

[ 2014.12.24 20:36:51 ] Ludus Rogara > /emote reconnects to the channel. "Semper pax", he said, having a sip from his mug.

[ 2014.12.24 20:40:33 ] Ludus Rogara > /emote swallows some of the content from his mug "Any information is.. great", he said.
[ 2014.12.24 20:41:12 ] Rhiannon Dellacorte > Yay, there she is.
[ 2014.12.24 20:41:47 ] Halcyon Ember > Rhiannon, I think I need to make you head of diplomacy
[ 2014.12.24 20:41:50 ] Rhiannon Dellacorte > Its just not a proper new pilot greeting without an offer for A Pamphlet That Explains.
[ 2014.12.24 20:42:18 ] Rhiannon Dellacorte > Ember, I don't have the time to explain to you what a horrible idea that is.
[ 2014.12.24 20:42:37 ] Rhiannon Dellacorte > So I will simply say it is a horrible idea.
[ 2014.12.24 20:43:10 ] Ludus Rogara > /emote sits back in his chair, putting his feet upon the edge of his table, having a sip from his mug.
[ 2014.12.24 20:43:11 ] Halcyon Ember > /emote gives a little wink "can't do worse than me, when i ask if people want to join us and explore they just leer at me"
[ 2014.12.24 20:44:06 ] Rhiannon Dellacorte > So I should be your diplomat because I'm flat chested? Thanks a lot Ember.

[ 2014.12.24 20:52:21 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote smiles at Tarunik.
[ 2014.12.24 20:52:30 ] Halcyon Ember > Well, as our diplomatic head, you could have Ulaya punch them for you
[ 2014.12.24 20:52:36 ] Ludus Rogara > That I am indeed, Mrs. Aspenstar.
[ 2014.12.24 20:52:57 ] Tarunik Raqalth'Qui > How've you been doing?

[ 2014.12.24 20:53:49 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote looks at Tarunikk "on retreat, taking a break"
[ 2014.12.24 20:54:44 ] Rhiannon Dellacorte > Its not any fun if I can't do the punching myself, Ember.
[ 2014.12.24 20:55:14 ] Ludus Rogara > /emote smirks as he takes another sip from his mug, he gives his answer a thought before he spoke. "I may be an Amarrian, and I am loyal, but I have other.. views.. regarding Faith."
[ 2014.12.24 20:55:23 ] Tarunik Raqalth'Qui > Ah.  I'm resettling a bit myself -- have to deal with some logistical issues.
[ 2014.12.24 20:55:25 ] Halcyon Ember > Let's discuss it in my "office" when I return?
[ 2014.12.24 20:55:35 ] Literia > Hello Lady Aspenstar.

[ 2014.12.24 20:56:18 ] Literia > You are well? I hope.
[ 2014.12.24 20:56:39 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > On retreat... recent events require a dose of humility and penance.
[ 2014.12.24 20:57:06 ] Ludus Rogara > /emote swallows some more from his mug before continuing to speak. "I believe in a more humanitarian way of the Faith."

[ 2014.12.24 20:57:44 ] Tarunik Raqalth'Qui > /emote nods "It is heartening to hear that, sir.  I find that the hardliners on all sides often are blind to what their own zealotry does to them."
[ 2014.12.24 20:58:01 ] Rhiannon Dellacorte > Wouldn't that make him a monk?
[ 2014.12.24 20:58:32 ] Ludus Rogara > /emote chuckles lightly, having another sip before continuing. "I admit that there are of those more zealot types, that I don't deny."
[ 2014.12.24 20:59:17 ] Ludus Rogara > I believe in unity.
[ 2014.12.24 21:00:09 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote tilts her head slightly, "I would be curious to chat further.  The IGS is usually not the place for a serious chat on religion."
[ 2014.12.24 21:00:24 ] Ritual Sacrifice > You should talk to Synthia about religion.
[ 2014.12.24 21:00:36 ] Ritual Sacrifice > she is one of the greatest theologians that Amarr has ever seen.
[ 2014.12.24 21:00:39 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > *flatly* no, you shouldn't.
[ 2014.12.24 21:01:05 ] Literia > /emote raises an eyebrow
[ 2014.12.24 21:01:19 ] Halcyon Ember > Hello Lunairsse
[ 2014.12.24 21:02:05 ] Ludus Rogara > /emote puts aside his mug. "People are allowed to believe in what they want to. It is something that I - or anyone - can't control. All I see, is that we are all humans, we bleed the same color, that's enough for me."
[ 2014.12.24 21:02:50 ] Literia > Congratulations on your award Lady Aspenstar.
[ 2014.12.24 21:03:49 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > *softly* Thank you Literia.
[ 2014.12.24 21:04:07 ] Literia > /emote smiles
[ 2014.12.24 21:04:16 ] Ritual Sacrifice > I congratulated Lunarisse earlier, didn't receive any thanks. How Rude.
[ 2014.12.24 21:04:26 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > None are owed.
[ 2014.12.24 21:04:28 ] Ritual Sacrifice > Such is the nature of the Theology Council.
[ 2014.12.24 21:04:44 ] Ritual Sacrifice > Woe, woe to the Council, for they are unrighteous.
[ 2014.12.24 21:05:24 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > Mr. Rogara, if you speak further with Rita and Synthia I have no doubt you'll see people bleeding.
[ 2014.12.24 21:05:44 ] Ritual Sacrifice > How rude.
[ 2014.12.24 21:06:01 ] Tarunik Raqalth'Qui > /emote nods firmly to the newcomer "Agreed -- even though Anoikis may seem fractured at first, the forces that unite us in the gateless unknown are more powerful at the end of the day than those which divide us"
[ 2014.12.24 21:06:14 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote sends a message to the newcomer.
[ 2014.12.24 21:06:47 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > Hello Ms. Ember. Is your new venue open?

[ 2014.12.24 21:08:20 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > A warning as to the type of people Rita and Synthia are.

[ 2014.12.24 21:10:39 ] Ludus Rogara > /emote looks away from the video footage that came along with the message, he made a disgusted expression on his face. "God's mercy.." he said lowly to himself.
[ 2014.12.24 21:12:16 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote nods. "I should this weekend."
[ 2014.12.24 21:13:18 ] Ludus Rogara > /emote stops the video footage, making a copy of it, storing it inside a databank. Then another message went through, he reads it, stares at it for a moment before looking back at the channel.
[ 2014.12.24 21:14:23 ] Ludus Rogara > /emote clears his throat before he spoke. "Mrs. Aspenstar.. this video footage.. how did you acquire it?"
[ 2014.12.24 21:14:37 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > *sourly* it was sent to me as can be seen on the mail.
[ 2014.12.24 21:15:25 ] Halcyon Ember > Excellent. don't mind the security, if she frowns at you that's almost as good as a smile
[ 2014.12.24 21:15:34 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > I promptly bountied the whole lot.  I do not approve of their beliefs nor am I willing to be morally relavatistic as to the CTCS.

[ 2014.12.24 21:21:37 ] Ludus Rogara > /emote tosses the mug's content in a sink, pouring up another of the hot content he drank earlier. He goes back to his seat, sitting down, his feet upon the table, having a sip.
[ 2014.12.24 21:23:58 ] Ludus Rogara > /emote swallows the content from his mug. "Y'know.. I've seen worse things but this video footage of a.. ritual sacrifice.. made my skin crawl."
[ 2014.12.24 21:24:45 ] Ritual Sacrifice > Well, that's just like, your opinion, man.
[ 2014.12.24 21:25:31 ] Ludus Rogara > /emote lifts the mug for another sip, swallowing the content. "My opinion, aye".

Basilica InteriorSet upon a grass-covered plateau on the planet Oris sits the Amarr Legio Basilica. The sight that greets each pilot when they first enter the Basilica grounds is a large granite archway fifty feet tall, under which is draped a massive golden spun-silk banner bearing the Amarrian double-bow. Before the entrance is a guarded security checkpoint, where all weapons must be turned in before entering. Just behind this lies a rack of inactive holo drones, which facilitate capsuleers who are unable to be present in person. Passing through the archway leads the pilot into a high vaulted passage, with various banners bearing the sigils of Amarrian heros hung between alcoves along the way. Below these stand statues honoring every ruler in the Emipre's long history, the last statue being dedicate to the current Empress, Jamyl I. After about fifty yards the passageway opens into the Amarr Legio Basilica itself. Gilded pillars reach from the marble floor to the ceiling, supporting a huge domed roof covered in frescos of Scriptural stories. Around the entire work of art is a wreath of Holy Scripture in gold filigree, the lines selected to correspond with the stories depicted.The gaps between the pillars are connected with smaller archways creating quiet, more private alcoves. These archways are topped by magnificent stained glass windows depicting ancient saints and warriors of the faith. Colored light streams upon the center of the main arena from them.The nave is a circular, open public space, with several ornate tables (complete with comfortable seating) and a large fountain. Wherever a person stands their eye is drawn to the apse at the very far end of the Basilica. Behind a few rows of pews and a carved cherry wood railing is a large stone altar, simple in adornment except for two large golden braziers with gentle incense smoke rising from them. Behind the altar is a decorated stone pedistal atop of which stands a sixty-foot tall statue of a praying angel, gazing down upon the open space. Two large open doors stand on either side of the Basilica, the left leading to a cloister with a garden where a small non-alcoholic refreshment bar stands. A large pool of water flanked by tall trees lies in the center of the gardens and stretches a hundred meters long. The right door in the nave leads to the dormitory wing, which contains room, board and offices for residents, staff and guests, as well as a small adjoining chapel.
**DAY ONE**
[ 2014.12.19 04:02:39 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote enters on her way to the dormitories. She glances with a twitch at the front of the Basilica which has a large cleaning crew scrubbing the floor and carpets furiously. She shrugs and continues on her way.
[ 2014.12.19 04:03:48 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote slips into a dorm room and closes the door.

**DAY THREE**
[ 2014.12.21 05:48:33 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote walks from the dormitories into the main part of the Basilica. She makes her way through the Nave towards the altar.

Norrin and Luna meet at the Holy Grape
[ 2014.12.28 01:34:35 ] EVE System > Channel MOTD: A surprisingly comfortable space in the Emperor Family Station in the Amarr system.The walls are paneled with dark wood.  Periodically there are cross-hatched sections that serve to store wine bottles horizontally. The temperature is cool.   There are multiple tables and booths with sumptious velvet red cushions.  Stained glass lanterns and lights providing soft lighting.  Each table has a wine & beverage list with a range of wines, ales, liquors and non-alcoholic drinks such as tea.   A simple menu is also on each table that indicates that complimentary bread and assorted cheeses and fruits are provided to those who order by the bottle.  Along one wall is a suit of golden armor with ceremonial sword and a tabard for the theology counsel that is cut for a femine figure along with a Picture.  A square parquet dance floor is in the center of the room.  The proprietor Vincentus Azizora and attentive wait staff are all baseliners.A Dinner Menu is available.A small sign on the bar says "Proudly serving  Lodovica's Vitae"

[ 2014.12.28 02:34:31 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote sips her Holder Grey tea.
[ 2014.12.28 02:35:20 ] Norrin Ellis > Luna, tell me all about the new priorities.  Does this mean less parties?
[ 2014.12.28 02:37:49 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote looks at Norrin. ""We each have our vocations and talents, Norrin.  It would be a waste of mine were I not continue my role as planner and organizer to the extent that it furthers the aims of the Empire and the Faith."
[ 2014.12.28 02:38:42 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > To receive an award for doing my job.. is  unseemly and lacking humility.
[ 2014.12.28 02:38:56 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote looks troubled.
[ 2014.12.28 02:39:24 ] Norrin Ellis > To be fair, most awards are for people simply doing what they do well.
[ 2014.12.28 02:39:58 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "As PIE should know, we are taught as children that doing one's Duty is its own reward."
[ 2014.12.28 02:40:39 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "I am gratified by it... and I am shamed of that feeling."
[ 2014.12.28 02:41:11 ] Norrin Ellis > As long as you're not doing your duty with the aim of simply earning PIE's attention, I see no reason to fret that you did, in fact, catch their attention in doing your duty.
[ 2014.12.28 02:42:04 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote looks troubled by that comment.  She simply sips her tea.
[ 2014.12.28 02:42:39 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "You know, Norrin, I am only a commoner."
[ 2014.12.28 02:43:34 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote says that abruptly.  Perhaps a non sequitur, but really not.
[ 2014.12.28 02:43:54 ] Norrin Ellis > I find it hard to believe that you spent the year thinking, "Gee golly, I hope this wins me a prize."  As far as I can tell, you weren't lobbying anyone to nominate or vote for you, either.  Take it for what it's worth, say thanks to PIE...
[ 2014.12.28 02:44:04 ] Norrin Ellis > ...then put the trophy or whatever they give you on a shelf somewhere.
[ 2014.12.28 02:44:20 ] Norrin Ellis > Does it matter that you're a commoner?
[ 2014.12.28 02:44:22 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote smiles lightly "I did offer my thanks to them in a way I hope is suitable."
[ 2014.12.28 02:45:27 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote shares a link with Norrin: https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&m=5335665#post5335665
[ 2014.12.28 02:46:28 ] Norrin Ellis > Well, there you go.  Why be bothered because people actually noticed what you do?
[ 2014.12.28 02:46:38 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote sips her tea as her thoughts linger on the previous question/
[ 2014.12.28 02:47:43 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Norrin, it is difficult to understand for one not raised in the Empire.  But yes, it matters that i am a commoner."
[ 2014.12.28 02:48:15 ] Norrin Ellis > How so?
[ 2014.12.28 02:48:56 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "We are given our place by God and our vocations and duties.  it is a sin to aspire to be more than you are entitled to be."  She also pointedly avoids responding to the second question which is also troubling her.
[ 2014.12.28 02:49:14 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "In examining myself and how I felt after receiving the award..."
[ 2014.12.28 02:49:24 ] Norrin Ellis > A sin, hmm?  Did anyone ever tell that to Catiz Tash-Murkon?
[ 2014.12.28 02:49:28 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "it is clear to me that I am guilty of aspiring to be more than I should be.'

[ 2014.12.28 02:52:06 ] Norrin Ellis > Isn't she the one that was a commoner and now is head of one of the five houses?  Seems an ambitious person to me.  If it's good enough for a royal house, seems good enough for anyone.
[ 2014.12.28 02:53:08 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > She roamed amongst the commoners to make her own path, but was always part of the nobility.....And that's the point.  As a holder she can.
[ 2014.12.28 02:53:32 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > I will need to start correcting people who call me Lady Aspenstar, she murmers.
[ 2014.12.28 02:54:11 ] Norrin Ellis > /emote smiles.  "I'll stick to Luna."
[ 2014.12.28 02:55:33 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote giggles involuntarily.
[ 2014.12.28 02:56:09 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > My spirtual director has prescribed prayer and self-mortification and fasting.
[ 2014.12.28 02:56:43 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote says guility "I snuck out to get some tea."
[ 2014.12.28 02:56:49 ] Norrin Ellis > I usually prescribe vacations on secluded beaches for troubled souls.

[ 2014.12.28 03:00:14 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Perhaps... another time."
[ 2014.12.28 03:02:46 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "I have to check in every morning and evening with my Spiritual Director.  We only sleep four hours, the rest of the time is in prayer, meditations, services or song."
[ 2014.12.28 03:03:00 ] Norrin Ellis > ...or sneaking out for tea.
[ 2014.12.28 03:03:13 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote turns crimson.
[ 2014.12.28 03:03:19 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Or that..."
[ 2014.12.28 03:03:42 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote sighs "That will probably earn me another week of retreat"
[ 2014.12.28 03:04:09 ] Norrin Ellis > A retreat from which you want to retreat is hardly a retreat in the first sense, is it?
[ 2014.12.28 03:04:49 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote says sullenly "Sometimes one has to take one's spiritual medicine.  Just like real medicine, you don't always have to enjoy it."
[ 2014.12.28 03:05:59 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote gives a forced smile.
[ 2014.12.28 03:06:22 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "If we only hear what we want to hear, what is the point of religion?  It is there to guide us even in ways we do not want to hear."
[ 2014.12.28 03:07:01 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote says softly "but this retreat has been most difficult."
[ 2014.12.28 03:07:14 ] Norrin Ellis > Be sure to thank the warden for the time when you're finally free.
[ 2014.12.28 03:07:42 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "I am not sure the Sister would appreciate that remark".  She giggles involuntarily.
[ 2014.12.28 03:09:57 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "The only highlight for me has been  Evening Vespers. At this time if year they are very mediative"
[ 2014.12.28 03:10:21 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote glances at her datapad "Speaking of which.. I need to scurry or I will be late for check-in!"
[ 2014.12.28 03:10:48 ] Norrin Ellis > /emote chuckles.  "Hurry up and get back inside the wall!"
[ 2014.12.28 03:11:26 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote slides out of her chair and slips her hood back up.  She gives Norrin a sheepish smile, and Thal a slight wave, as she departs.
[ 2014.12.28 03:11:45 ] Norrin Ellis > Goodnight, Luna.
[ 2014.12.28 03:13:43 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote slips out quietly.   Vincentus Azizora notices her departure as he continues to the polish the bar and makes a mental note to himself.

**THE GOOD WORD***
Che Biko > Hello all, and congratulations, Lunarisse.
Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote blushes. "Thank you Mr. Biko"
Vincent Pryce > Congratulations indeed miss Aspenstar.
Che Biko > Surely that will make some reconsider your "class" if they thought it was lacking.
Che Biko > Anyway, it pleases me that it was you that won.
Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote looks troubled by Mr. Biko's comments. " "I am pleased by it... and I am ashamed of that feeling."
Vincent Pryce > /emote quirks his brow "Sounds like I've missed something."
Lunarisse Aspenstar > "As your wife can tell you Mr. Pryce, we are taught as children that doing one's Duty is its own reward."
Lunarisse Aspenstar > "We each have our vocations and talents, Norrin. It would be a waste of mine were I not continue my role as planner and organizer to the extent that it furthers the aims of the Empire and the Faith"
Lunarisse Aspenstar > *vincent
Lunarisse Aspenstar > But to feel pride for an award, troubles me.
Vincent Pryce > Feeling pride for ones accomplishments is quite alright. It is far removed from being prideful.
Lunarisse Aspenstar > "In examining myself and how I felt after receiving the award., it is quite apparent that I have forgotten my place.  It is clear to me that I am guilty of aspiring to be more than I should be."
Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote gives Vincent a look. "But then I wouldn't expect you to understand, given your cultural background."
Che Biko > ...I have to say that I am somewhat fascinated by how quite a few Amarr act after the announcement of the winners.
Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote tilts her head silightly at Che "How so?"
Che Biko > Ah...just...same as Mr. Price, I suppose.
Vincent Pryce > /emote quirks his brow "Rude."
Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote looks confused.
Che Biko > Rude?
Che Biko > I was referring to our cultural backgrounds.
Lunarisse Aspenstar > "elaborate on the amarr, please. I am puzzled."
Che Biko > Well...why have an election like this if... you folks don't seem to be enjoying it a lot, or even think it's needed. I mean, it's to celebrate someone and what that person accomlished and you are all so humble and...meh.
Karmilla Strife > We have elections?
Vincent Pryce > Amarrina of the year shindig.
Vincent Pryce > Which apparently makes victors rude.
Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote says frostily "I see."
Karmilla Strife > Oh, I don't know that Stalking Mantis pilot very well. Is he rude?
Lunarisse Aspenstar > Apparently, I am.
Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote disconnects.
Karmilla Strife > Well... oh.
Vincent Pryce > Giving condecending looks over cultural heritage would seem to qualify.
Karmilla Strife > I seem to have stumbled into the middle of something...
Vincent Pryce > I reckon so.
Karmilla Strife > I hope this isn't your doing, husband.
Vincent Pryce > What of recent isn't.
Karmilla Strife > If that's the case, we'll speak later.
Vincent Pryce > I am having a shit day, arguing with Sansha and on top I get my personal views and beliefs questioned for the umpteenth time. I am fucking done being nice.
Che Biko > Hmm, I hope I did not provide a reason for Aspenstar's sudden change in demeanor.
Karmilla Strife > This is not the place, Vince.
Vincent Pryce > No, I suppsoe it's not.
Che Biko > Is there a place called "The Bad Word"?
Lunarisse Aspenstar > ((giggles))
Karmilla Strife > I know a few places that would fit that description Mr. Biko.
Che Biko > Yeah, I think I'll go see how those are now. Clear skies, Pryce&Pryce.

*DAY TEN ON RETREAT**

Set upon a grass-covered plateau on the planet Oris sits the Amarr Legio Basilica. The sight that greets each pilot when they first enter the Basilica grounds is a large granite archway fifty feet tall, under which is draped a massive golden spun-silk banner bearing the Amarrian double-bow. Before the entrance is a guarded security checkpoint, where all weapons must be turned in before entering. Just behind this lies a rack of inactive holo drones, which facilitate capsuleers who are unable to be present in person. Passing through the archway leads the pilot into a high vaulted passage, with various banners bearing the sigils of Amarrian heros hung between alcoves along the way. Below these stand statues honoring every ruler in the Emipre's long history, the last statue being dedicate to the current Empress, Jamyl I. After about fifty yards the passageway opens into the Amarr Legio Basilica itself. Gilded pillars reach from the marble floor to the ceiling, supporting a huge domed roof covered in frescos of Scriptural stories. Around the entire work of art is a wreath of Holy Scripture in gold filigree, the lines selected to correspond with the stories depicted.The gaps between the pillars are connected with smaller archways creating quiet, more private alcoves. These archways are topped by magnificent stained glass windows depicting ancient saints and warriors of the faith. Colored light streams upon the center of the main arena from them.The nave is a circular, open public space, with several ornate tables (complete with comfortable seating) and a large fountain. Wherever a person stands their eye is drawn to the apse at the very far end of the Basilica. Behind a few rows of pews and a carved cherry wood railing is a large stone altar, simple in adornment except for two large golden braziers with gentle incense smoke rising from them. Behind the altar is a decorated stone pedistal atop of which stands a sixty-foot tall statue of a praying angel, gazing down upon the open space. Two large open doors stand on either side of the Basilica, the left leading to a cloister with a garden where a small non-alcoholic refreshment bar stands. A large pool of water flanked by tall trees lies in the center of the gardens and stretches a hundred meters long. The right door in the nave leads to the dormitory wing, which contains room, board and offices for residents, staff and guests, as well as a small adjoining chapel.
[ 2014.12.29 02:10:11 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote is in the Basilica gardens, wearing a plain and rugged outfit for kneeling in the dirt. She looks fairly sleepless and her hair is cut short.
[ 2014.12.29 02:18:08 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote kneels and is weeding.
[ 2014.12.29 02:19:03 ] Alexa de'Crux > /emote approaches Luna with a fair bit of fear.
[ 2014.12.29 02:19:05 ] Alexa de'Crux > Ma'am.
[ 2014.12.29 02:19:59 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote continues to tug on a particularly difficult root.
[ 2014.12.29 02:20:50 ] Alexa de'Crux > /emote stands at attention, waiting for her commander to acknowledge her presence.
[ 2014.12.29 02:21:12 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Oh flibbergibbit." She lets go and kneels back. She brushes some sweat off her brow, mudding it in the process. and wrinkles her nose.
[ 2014.12.29 02:22:22 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "At ease Ms. de'Crux, have a seat." She gestures to a blanket on the ground. She takes a sip of water from a canteen in her gardening kit.
[ 2014.12.29 02:22:28 ] Alexa de'Crux > /emote sits.
[ 2014.12.29 02:23:39 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote picks up a towel and wipes her face off. "Better."
[ 2014.12.29 02:23:45 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > I hope you haven't been waiting long?
[ 2014.12.29 02:24:09 ] Alexa de'Crux > No, ma'am. I have been in prayer for several days.
[ 2014.12.29 02:25:07 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote nods satisfied. "And what did you discern from your your time of spiritual self-examination?""
[ 2014.12.29 02:26:57 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote notices Alexa get reflexive as if taking a while to think, and resumes trying to remove the troublesome weeds from the patch she was working on.
[ 2014.12.29 02:33:01 ] Alexa de'Crux > Ma'am, I learned that I act without thinking.
[ 2014.12.29 02:34:05 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote says lightly "is that so?"
[ 2014.12.29 02:34:09 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote kneels back up.
[ 2014.12.29 02:34:45 ] Alexa de'Crux > Yes, ma'am. I learned that.....I should respect and accept my place in God's plan, ma'am.
[ 2014.12.29 02:36:53 ] Alexa de'Crux > Permission to speak freely, ma'am?
[ 2014.12.29 02:37:10 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > Of course.
[ 2014.12.29 02:37:13 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote smiles lightly.
[ 2014.12.29 02:37:45 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote wipes the dirt off her hands as she listens with a masked expression.
[ 2014.12.29 02:38:35 ] Alexa de'Crux > Ma'am, I was invited to Lord Sakakibara's holdings as an observer. As my report will attest, she indicated that there were hostile elements among the staff; that being the case, I decided not to trust the existing security measures.
[ 2014.12.29 02:39:10 ] Alexa de'Crux > ((she == Naomi))
[ 2014.12.29 02:39:34 ] Alexa de'Crux > /emote stands silent, feeling that she's said enough, for now.
[ 2014.12.29 02:40:46 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > And what part of detouring to Myyera is consistent with your then orders to re-deploy your squadron in Nahyeen?
[ 2014.12.29 02:41:58 ] Alexa de'Crux > ..Ma'am, I diverted only enough soldiers to protect Naomi Sakakibara and the nursery.
[ 2014.12.29 02:42:33 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote starts to say "and leaving them without their commander...." she breaks off. "Nursery?"
[ 2014.12.29 02:42:53 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote says peckishly "what nursery?"
[ 2014.12.29 02:43:15 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > Surely Katerina's not been knocked up yet.
[ 2014.12.29 02:43:37 ] Alexa de'Crux > ...No, ma'am. Miss Sakakibara was safeguarding an infant, ma'am.
[ 2014.12.29 02:44:23 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote rubs the bridge of her nose. "I think you better explain the full story. Concisely if yuou ca n."
[ 2014.12.29 02:44:57 ] Alexa de'Crux > The bulk of the situation was detailed in my report, ma'am, but I will attempt to...concisely explain.
[ 2014.12.29 02:45:00 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "And then we'll deal with other aspects.' She purses her lips.
[ 2014.12.29 02:46:17 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote evades the fact that she didn't particularly read the report very carefully due to her state of mind.
[ 2014.12.29 02:46:42 ] Alexa de'Crux > Miss Sakakibara feared for her safety; the infant was a safeguard, to prevent attack. Shortly after I had departed my advisory role, I was contacted by an individual known only as 'L', stating that Miss Sakakibara had been poisoned.
[ 2014.12.29 02:47:45 ] Alexa de'Crux > In brief, ma'am, the staff may have been infiltrated by a dissident group that objects to her desire to Hold in her own right.
[ 2014.12.29 02:47:59 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote says bluntly "no where in the report is mentioned a baby or a nursery. Who in God's name uses a baby as a shield?"
[ 2014.12.29 02:48:46 ] Alexa de'Crux > Ma'am, it was not my place to question Miss Sakakibara's motivations.
[ 2014.12.29 02:48:54 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "And you went along with that?"
[ 2014.12.29 02:49:16 ] Alexa de'Crux > Ma'am, at the time I was unaware of the infant's....position.
[ 2014.12.29 02:49:18 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote is getting extremely white and her hands are trembling.
[ 2014.12.29 02:50:01 ] Alexa de'Crux > Miss Sakakibara was poisoned, by the house doctor. A nurse had also been turned, but I intervened before she could complete the task.
[ 2014.12.29 02:50:44 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote says flatly "So the baby was some sort of taste tester?"
[ 2014.12.29 02:50:53 ] Alexa de'Crux > No, ma'am.
[ 2014.12.29 02:51:06 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote's eyes actually have some life for the first time this evening.
[ 2014.12.29 02:51:50 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "How was the baby involved? And whose was it?"
[ 2014.12.29 02:51:59 ] Alexa de'Crux > /emote looks uncomfortable. "Ma'am, this officer was later informed that the infant contained a 'dead-man' switch. If Miss Sakakibara died....."
[ 2014.12.29 02:53:03 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote prods pitilessly "then?"
[ 2014.12.29 02:53:13 ] Alexa de'Crux > ...The infant would die, as well, ma'am.
[ 2014.12.29 02:54:33 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "And in how in God's name does that do anything? Miss Sakakibara's death would be quite noticeable don't you think?"
[ 2014.12.29 02:54:51 ] Alexa de'Crux > Ma'am...permission to speak frankly, and candidly?
[ 2014.12.29 02:55:47 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > I think you best. This sounds like a tortured Gallente holoflick designed to contrive drama.
[ 2014.12.29 02:56:03 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > It does not become the Sakakibara's at all.
[ 2014.12.29 02:57:01 ] Alexa de'Crux > /emote takes a deep breath. "I attempted to warn Lord Sakakibara of the potential threat. On both occasions, he disregarded my warnings and the collected evidence. On our final contact, he ordered me to leave his estates, immediately."
[ 2014.12.29 02:58:03 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote says muleishly "And how does the baby play into this?"
[ 2014.12.29 02:59:50 ] Mitara Newelle > /emote enters the Basilica wearing her uniform. She walks towards the altar with clenched fists and seems to be having a quiet argument with herself.
[ 2014.12.29 03:00:55 ] Alexa de'Crux > For the details of that, ma'am, you will have to speak to Naomi herself.
[ 2014.12.29 03:02:07 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote says "Arg!" She gets up frustrated at the lack of logical explanations, or any explanation, as to the bizarre scenario of an unamed baby serving as a dead man switch for a holder's sister. She turns back to the patch of weeds, holding her sharp Half Moon Hoe and with a vicious whack digs into the earth implaling the weed and its roots and jerks it out.
[ 2014.12.29 03:03:05 ] Alexa de'Crux > Ma'am....
[ 2014.12.29 03:03:17 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "There! at least something is accomplished this evening."
[ 2014.12.29 03:03:35 ] Mitara Newelle > /emote kneels before the altar and makes the Holy Sign.
[ 2014.12.29 03:03:42 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote removes the weed from the half-moon hoe. "Yes, Ms. de'Crux?"
[ 2014.12.29 03:04:10 ] Alexa de'Crux > The infant, to the best of my awareness, was the grandchild of one of the principal threats in this scenario. Miss Sakakibara was her legally-appointed guardian.
[ 2014.12.29 03:06:01 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote grimaces. "Far better to simply enslave the child if it must pay for the sins of the grand-parent. Still.. an insane operation." She sits back down.
[ 2014.12.29 03:06:36 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Ms. de'Crux, it is clear that this Naomi only disclosed information incompletely and piece meal to you."
[ 2014.12.29 03:06:47 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "She took advantage of you.
[ 2014.12.29 03:07:06 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote rubs the bridge of her nose.
[ 2014.12.29 03:07:13 ] Alexa de'Crux > /emote twitches a bit, as though something deep within her didn't want to hear that.
[ 2014.12.29 03:07:43 ] Mitara Newelle > /emote stands
[ 2014.12.29 03:07:53 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Did you attempt to contact Lord Sakikabara before deploying?"
[ 2014.12.29 03:08:17 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > Or me and Lord Raholan or Lady Mithra?
[ 2014.12.29 03:09:44 ] Alexa de'Crux > Ma'am. I did not attempt to contact him at the time; I believed that Miss Sakakibara, as his legally-appointed representitive, was seeing to her own security. When I attempted to inform Lord Sakakiara, he again disregarded my attempts and the>>
[ 2014.12.29 03:09:46 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote gives Alexa a firm blue gaze. She doesn't have to brush her hair because, frankly, it's been cut short.
[ 2014.12.29 03:09:47 ] Alexa de'Crux > evidence I presented.
[ 2014.12.29 03:10:43 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "As a Holder it is his perogative. I am more concerned about the impulsiveness that lead to this fiasco with predictable results."
[ 2014.12.29 03:10:55 ] Alexa de'Crux > I contacted Lord Raholan, however, and informed him of the basic situation. Under regulations, I did not disclose any critical information, as I was uncertain of the security of the channel.
[ 2014.12.29 03:11:32 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote says flatly "We have a secure corporation channel. I thought you updated it after Ms. Runekin's little thing."
[ 2014.12.29 03:12:23 ] Alexa de'Crux > Yes, ma'am, I did. Given the risk of infiltration among Miss Sakakibara's staff, it was my opinion that caution was warranted.
[ 2014.12.29 03:13:02 ] Mitara Newelle > /emote steps out into the open area, loosening the collar of her uniform a bit.
[ 2014.12.29 03:13:34 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > Please do not try to justify insubordination. Where there is a will, there is a way, When there is not, there are excuses.
[ 2014.12.29 03:13:55 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote sighs, looking drained again. "The doctor did warn me about this..."
[ 2014.12.29 03:14:01 ] Alexa de'Crux > /emote snaps to attention. "Yes, ma'am."
[ 2014.12.29 03:14:44 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "How did you even know Ms. Sakikabara anyway?"
[ 2014.12.29 03:14:51 ] Mitara Newelle > /emote takes in a deep breath of the garden smells and wanders towards the pool.
[ 2014.12.29 03:14:59 ] Alexa de'Crux > We met at Cerra Manor, ma'am.
[ 2014.12.29 03:15:18 ] Alexa de'Crux > /emote is carefully non-specific, but she blushes just a bit.
[ 2014.12.29 03:15:24 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "And based on that casual meeting, she sought to embroil you in family intrigues?"
[ 2014.12.29 03:15:46 ] Thal Vadam > /emote enters the basilica dressed in his Templar robes, which are slightly torn. He kneels before the alter and bows his head
[ 2014.12.29 03:15:46 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > You have got to talk to us before go off half cocked like a drunken furrier.
[ 2014.12.29 03:15:58 ] Alexa de'Crux > With respect, ma'am -- she did not seek anything. I was present when the situation escalated, and I acted, ma'am.
[ 2014.12.29 03:16:10 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > At Cerra?
[ 2014.12.29 03:16:38 ] Alexa de'Crux > No, ma'am. Miss Sakakibara invited me to Myhera to perform an assessment of existing security measures, ma'am.
[ 2014.12.29 03:16:53 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "That's my point."
[ 2014.12.29 03:17:02 ] Alexa de'Crux > ...Ma'am?
[ 2014.12.29 03:17:04 ] Alexa de'Crux > /emote looks confused.
[ 2014.12.29 03:17:23 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "You had time then to contact us to advise and request permission before changing your deployment."
[ 2014.12.29 03:17:34 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "There was no emergency when she invited you yes?"
[ 2014.12.29 03:18:10 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote as she sits back to listen, she looks about the garden and notices Mitara.
[ 2014.12.29 03:18:20 ] Alexa de'Crux > I was only present as an advisor, ma'am. There was no emergency at the time, ma'am. I responded with my unit after she was attacked, ma'am.
[ 2014.12.29 03:18:35 ] Mitara Newelle > /emote sits at the edge of the body of water looking rather exhausted.
[ 2014.12.29 03:19:10 ] Alexa de'Crux > I....admit that I reacted with undue haste, ma'am.
[ 2014.12.29 03:19:36 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote purses her lips. "In the future, next time, you must contact us if there is a chance in a deployment and recieve authority first. I fear Ms. Sakibara took advantage of you to draw you into a situation you were not prepared for. I trust Lord Raholan will deal with the diplomatic repercussions."
[ 2014.12.29 03:19:58 ] Alexa de'Crux > I could not let Nao---let Miss Sakakibara suffer be injured, ma'am.
[ 2014.12.29 03:20:08 ] Alexa de'Crux > Yes, ma'am, and I did contact him, ma'am.
[ 2014.12.29 03:20:31 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > After you were already there.
[ 2014.12.29 03:20:42 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > And incompletely.
[ 2014.12.29 03:20:57 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Do you understand what we need you to do in the future?"
[ 2014.12.29 03:21:06 ] Alexa de'Crux > With all due respect, ma'am, contacting him and requesting redeployment when there is nothing wrong is....well, frankly, ma'am, it's kind of silly.
[ 2014.12.29 03:21:12 ] Alexa de'Crux > Yes, ma'am, I do.
[ 2014.12.29 03:21:33 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "There was a specific project you were needed for, and you were not present."
[ 2014.12.29 03:21:43 ] Alexa de'Crux > Yes, ma'am.
[ 2014.12.29 03:21:44 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Since you ran off on your little adventure."
[ 2014.12.29 03:21:59 ] Mitara Newelle > /emote lifts her head to look over at the discussion taking place for a moment then returns her gaze to the water.
[ 2014.12.29 03:22:04 ] Alexa de'Crux > /emote nods.
[ 2014.12.29 03:22:35 ] Alexa de'Crux > Yes, ma'am.
[ 2014.12.29 03:23:01 ] Alexa de'Crux > /emote stands straight as a board.
[ 2014.12.29 03:23:09 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "the excessive pursuit of short lived happiness or interesting things can be distracting one of other priorities, family, duty, God."
[ 2014.12.29 03:23:29 ] Alexa de'Crux > Yes, ma'am.
[ 2014.12.29 03:23:34 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > I am not done speaking, Sit down please.
[ 2014.12.29 03:23:37 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote sighs
[ 2014.12.29 03:23:40 ] Alexa de'Crux > /emote sits down slowly.
[ 2014.12.29 03:24:02 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > The doctor was concerned that we at SFRIM are giving you too much freedom of operation.
[ 2014.12.29 03:24:30 ] Alexa de'Crux > /emote closes her eyes. "I understand, ma'am."
[ 2014.12.29 03:24:33 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > I think I managed to dissuade her... but I am wondering now if I did the right thing. Did I?
[ 2014.12.29 03:24:43 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > Because you sound like a parrot right now.
[ 2014.12.29 03:25:21 ] Alexa de'Crux > Ma'am, I.--
[ 2014.12.29 03:25:23 ] Thal Vadam > /emote rises from his kneeled position and walks out side
[ 2014.12.29 03:25:33 ] Alexa de'Crux > /emote falls silent, trying to find the words she needs.
[ 2014.12.29 03:26:32 ] Alexa de'Crux > I could not....let her die, ma'am.
[ 2014.12.29 03:27:26 ] Alexa de'Crux > /emote blushes despite her finely-tuned control.
[ 2014.12.29 03:27:34 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > The road to perdition is paved with good intentions.
[ 2014.12.29 03:28:15 ] Alexa de'Crux > Ye-Yes, ma'am. I am prepared to accept punishment for my actions, ma'am.
[ 2014.12.29 03:28:17 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > You need to maintain discipline of your unit and yourself or you will not be of utility to anyone, including her.
[ 2014.12.29 03:28:39 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote is lingering a bit Alexa's last comment turning it over in her head.
[ 2014.12.29 03:28:39 ] Mitara Newelle > /emote rolls her head and stands. She makes her way towards Luna and Alexa, not getting too close until she is noticed, so as not to intrude
[ 2014.12.29 03:29:36 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Considering you have been wholly satisfactory so far, consider yourself on probation, In the future, please notify all three of us in writing of a proposal that deviates from your orders."
[ 2014.12.29 03:29:45 ] Alexa de'Crux > Yes, ma'am.
[ 2014.12.29 03:29:56 ] Alexa de'Crux > Ma'am......?
[ 2014.12.29 03:29:59 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "And avoid Ms, Sakibara."
[ 2014.12.29 03:30:02 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote studies Alexa.
[ 2014.12.29 03:30:35 ] Alexa de'Crux > /emote twitches sharply, takes a deep breath and closes her eyes, nodding a bit. "A...As you wish, ma'am."
[ 2014.12.29 03:31:27 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "You have a question Ms. de'Crux?" Her demeanor is one that the conversation is all but finished.
[ 2014.12.29 03:31:28 ] Thal Vadam > /emote sighs at the group before walking over to the pool
[ 2014.12.29 03:32:13 ] Alexa de'Crux > ....N...No, ma'am. Is....y-our command to avoid Ms. Sakakibara...an order, ma'am?
[ 2014.12.29 03:33:34 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Until probation is over, Yes."
[ 2014.12.29 03:33:45 ] Alexa de'Crux > .....
[ 2014.12.29 03:33:49 ] Alexa de'Crux > Yes...yes, ma'am.
[ 2014.12.29 03:33:54 ] Alexa de'Crux > /emote stands and salutes.
[ 2014.12.29 03:34:03 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote says lightly "I am not done yet."
[ 2014.12.29 03:34:15 ] Alexa de'Crux > /emote sits down again. "Ma'am."
[ 2014.12.29 03:34:40 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Thank you for coming and waiting for me. I know I've been out of sorts. Would you like to garden with me? That is not an order."
[ 2014.12.29 03:35:01 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote glances at Mitara "and it seems we may have company."
[ 2014.12.29 03:35:17 ] Alexa de'Crux > P-Perhaps in a short while, ma'am. I....must attend to some...uh...some personal matters, first.
[ 2014.12.29 03:35:18 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote some color comes to her cheeks as she wonders if Mitara overheard anything.
[ 2014.12.29 03:35:29 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Ok, Dismissed Satellium"
[ 2014.12.29 03:36:02 ] Alexa de'Crux > /emote stands up and salutes, then turns on her heel, hiding a tear that spills over her cheek as she exits.
[ 2014.12.29 03:36:22 ] Mitara Newelle > /emote is busy looking at the garden, a respectable distance from the pair.
[ 2014.12.29 03:40:26 ] Mitara Newelle > /emote sees that Alexa has left and stands at the ready for Luna to call her over when she is ready.
[ 2014.12.29 03:41:24 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote says softly "Hello Admiral. Do you also like the gardens?"
[ 2014.12.29 03:42:14 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote glances at the pool and notices Thal as well. Her face beomes slightly masked, not entirely sure how many people may have overheard what just happened. She sighs.
[ 2014.12.29 03:42:32 ] Mitara Newelle > /emote folds her hands behind her back and approches Luna, glancing at parts of the garden on the way, "I do, Praefecta, and the water."
[ 2014.12.29 03:43:23 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "It is calming here. I find it helps order my thoughts as much as the interior does...."
[ 2014.12.29 03:43:32 ] Mitara Newelle > I hope I did not interrupt your meeting with Neophyte de'Crux?
[ 2014.12.29 03:45:58 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Not all.. we just finished..."
[ 2014.12.29 03:46:19 ] Mitara Newelle > /emote nods.
[ 2014.12.29 03:46:58 ] Mitara Newelle > Well, I just wanted to congratulate you personally on winning the Amarrian Capsuleer award for 116.
[ 2014.12.29 03:47:25 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote says softly "Thank you."
[ 2014.12.29 03:49:04 ] Mitara Newelle > Do not let the rabble of the militia make you think you were not deserving.
[ 2014.12.29 03:49:24 ] Mitara Newelle > We take many things into account, and you were most worthy by a large margin.
[ 2014.12.29 03:49:49 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "I...." she falls silent. "I am gratified by that..."
[ 2014.12.29 03:50:50 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "I need to remind myself not to make it make me think more of myself. I am ashamed to say I felt pride over it."
[ 2014.12.29 03:52:00 ] Mitara Newelle > /emote nods, "It is something that is difficult to grapple with I understand. I felt it too on a few occasions withing the Praetoria."
[ 2014.12.29 03:52:10 ] Mitara Newelle > within*
[ 2014.12.29 03:52:57 ] Mitara Newelle > But do continue your works, Praefecta, they are needed.
[ 2014.12.29 03:53:05 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote says softly "i am glad someone understands.. And I will."
[ 2014.12.29 03:54:06 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "I intend to..."
[ 2014.12.29 03:55:01 ] Mitara Newelle > /emote smiles slightly, "Duty is its own rewards, yes?"
[ 2014.12.29 03:55:46 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Yes." She glances at the garden plot that's been mostly weeded. "It is."
[ 2014.12.29 03:57:27 ] Mitara Newelle > /emote also glances at the garden plot and nods.
[ 2014.12.29 03:58:08 ] Mitara Newelle > I will not keep you, Praefecta. Go with God.
[ 2014.12.29 03:58:13 ] Mitara Newelle > /emote turns to leave.
[ 2014.12.29 03:58:19 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "As with you, and your Family"
[ 2014.12.29 03:58:22 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote smiles.
[ 2014.12.29 04:00:15 ] Mitara Newelle > Thank you.
[ 2014.12.29 04:00:18 ] Mitara Newelle > /emote heads out.
[ 2014.12.29 04:00:55 ] Thal Vadam > /emote stands quietly overlooking the pool, as motionless as a statue
[ 2014.12.29 04:01:13 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote glances to see if Thal is still there. "Hello Templar. What brings you here?"
[ 2014.12.29 04:02:27 ] Thal Vadam > /emote says nothing for a moment "...I came to think" *His response is cold, almost emotionless*
[ 2014.12.29 04:03:53 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote blinks, noticing a very different demeanor than the day or so before. "Has.. anything happened?"
[ 2014.12.29 04:05:28 ] Thal Vadam > "Not really. I think on wider topics then my romance tonight" *His tone remains cold*
[ 2014.12.29 04:06:15 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote says carefully "I see. Well," she gestures idly at her gardening tools and blanket. "I am willing to listen if you need someone to talk to."
[ 2014.12.29 04:08:59 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote says politely, trying not to pry too hard "if not.. well, I have one more thing I need to do in the garden before evening Vespers."
[ 2014.12.29 04:10:19 ] Thal Vadam > /emote shakes his head slowly "My problem is solved Lady Aspenstar, i think of repercussions of my choice is all"
[ 2014.12.29 04:11:45 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "I see. Then I pray God's guidance has been discerned in your choice." She gets up off the blanket and walks over to the roses. She begins to snip some of the blossoms and tendrils.
[ 2014.12.29 04:13:49 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote humming to herself she begins to braid the roses as she slips and tends to the bushes.
[ 2014.12.29 04:13:54 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > *snips
[ 2014.12.29 04:14:08 ] Thal Vadam > /emote turns and begins to exit. He looks at Luna coldly "congratulations on your award" *Then exits*
[ 2014.12.29 04:15:23 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote blinks and almost slips back to her earlier mood, but determined not to be shaken from her task and focus, she resumes humming and tending the roses.
[ 2014.12.29 04:21:01 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote steps back holding the braided roses. She walks over to a statute of the Empress in the garden and stands on her tippy toes, and places a Crown of Roses onto her head.
[ 2014.12.29 04:24:44 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote startles from her reverie as she hears the bells summoning the penitents to prayer. She hastily walks back and collects her things and makes her way back to the dormitory to change,

**Last Day in the Basilica**

Basilica InteriorSet upon a grass-covered plateau on the planet Oris sits the Amarr Legio Basilica. The sight that greets each pilot when they first enter the Basilica grounds is a large granite archway fifty feet tall, under which is draped a massive golden spun-silk banner bearing the Amarrian double-bow. Before the entrance is a guarded security checkpoint, where all weapons must be turned in before entering. Just behind this lies a rack of inactive holo drones, which facilitate capsuleers who are unable to be present in person. Passing through the archway leads the pilot into a high vaulted passage, with various banners bearing the sigils of Amarrian heros hung between alcoves along the way. Below these stand statues honoring every ruler in the Emipre's long history, the last statue being dedicate to the current Empress, Jamyl I. After about fifty yards the passageway opens into the Amarr Legio Basilica itself. Gilded pillars reach from the marble floor to the ceiling, supporting a huge domed roof covered in frescos of Scriptural stories. Around the entire work of art is a wreath of Holy Scripture in gold filigree, the lines selected to correspond with the stories depicted.The gaps between the pillars are connected with smaller archways creating quiet, more private alcoves. These archways are topped by magnificent stained glass windows depicting ancient saints and warriors of the faith. Colored light streams upon the center of the main arena from them.The nave is a circular, open public space, with several ornate tables (complete with comfortable seating) and a large fountain. Wherever a person stands their eye is drawn to the apse at the very far end of the Basilica. Behind a few rows of pews and a carved cherry wood railing is a large stone altar, simple in adornment except for two large golden braziers with gentle incense smoke rising from them. Behind the altar is a decorated stone pedistal atop of which stands a sixty-foot tall statue of a praying angel, gazing down upon the open space. Two large open doors stand on either side of the Basilica, the left leading to a cloister with a garden where a small non-alcoholic refreshment bar stands. A large pool of water flanked by tall trees lies in the center of the gardens and stretches a hundred meters long. The right door in the nave leads to the dormitory wing, which contains room, board and offices for residents, staff and guests, as well as a small adjoining chapel.
[ 2014.12.31 02:32:24 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote walks into the gardens from her dormitory room. She has her usual "color" today, but her hair is short. She is wearing a simple white dress and simply strolling the gardens studying the flowers.
[ 2014.12.31 02:34:39 ] Esna Pitoojee > /emote quietly pads in, humming softly as he looks around the enomous hall once again. After a moment he continues onward, towards the central fountain.
[ 2014.12.31 02:39:06 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote sees Esna and makes her way deliberately to the fountain.
[ 2014.12.31 02:39:54 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote smiles brightly "Hello, Lord Pitoojee"
[ 2014.12.31 02:41:19 ] Esna Pitoojee > /emote looks up, his eyebrows rising in surprise > Ms. Aspenstar! So good to see you! *He turns to head towards her as well.*
[ 2014.12.31 02:42:38 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote takes a seat by the fountain. She looks up towards Esna. "How are you, Sir?"
[ 2014.12.31 02:45:06 ] Esna Pitoojee > /emote stops beside her, though he doesn't sit yet > Quite well, thank you. Quite well. Been spending much of my time in wormhole-space lately.
[ 2014.12.31 02:45:31 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > Well that explains why I've not seen you much on the comms or the usual places. How are you finding it?
[ 2014.12.31 02:50:15 ] Esna Pitoojee > Well enough. I've had my ship blown up repeatedly, but - well, I'm a combat pilot. used to that, as painful as it sounds.
[ 2014.12.31 02:52:38 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote nods. "You must find it hard to replace your crews, however."
[ 2014.12.31 02:53:17 ] Esna Pitoojee > Somewhat. *He nods slightly.* Though my loss rate is lower than when I was part of the militia.
[ 2014.12.31 02:54:07 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "How hard is it to train new people?"
[ 2014.12.31 02:54:25 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > I expect you have both slaves and freed crew right?
[ 2014.12.31 02:56:36 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote tilts her head and glances at Esna.
[ 2014.12.31 03:03:35 ] Esna Pitoojee > /emote nods fractionally > Yes, and hired crew from all over. Training them is not the issue - I have sufficient facilities for that. Dealing with the fact that I am responsible for them is.
[ 2014.12.31 03:04:12 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote says softly "I can understand that. I have a hard enough time dealing with an occasional battle casuality once or twice a year."
[ 2014.12.31 03:04:44 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "I assume you aren't in a position to take on additional slaves in need of a new home and master then?"
[ 2014.12.31 03:05:35 ] Esna Pitoojee > /emote looks down, his head tilted curiously > ...I certainly am, actually. Why do you ask?
[ 2014.12.31 03:05:39 ] Erin Savonarola > /emote makes her way in the basilica, wearing a simple alb of powdered blue with a true silver rope about her waist.
[ 2014.12.31 03:07:39 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > In my hauling travels, I've noticed a growth of "deathcans" along the border. The usual suspects are no longer performing rescues. Even though I disagreed fundamentally with them on many things, it was still a service the rescue itself...
[ 2014.12.31 03:08:36 ] Erin Savonarola > /emote kneels down in genuflect as she gets to the pews to kneel and to pray
[ 2014.12.31 03:09:13 ] Esna Pitoojee > /emote nods fractionally > Ah, I see... you propose that I should take some of these rescued persons in? Of course, their original patrons would have to be found and contacted...
[ 2014.12.31 03:10:18 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Of course. But In most instances, I suspect it will not be possible to reconstruct or they will be heretics who dumped them into space and are only "only" owners under SCC regulations.. In those instances, we need to place them, with real holders.
[ 2014.12.31 03:12:31 ] Alexa de'Crux > /emote enters the Basilica and looks for a place to sit.
[ 2014.12.31 03:13:11 ] Esna Pitoojee > /emote nods > Then I can definitely take some of them in. In fact... there is a related project that I may let you in on. In private, of course - it is not something I care to discuss with prying ears.
[ 2014.12.31 03:14:21 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > I am certainly not having SFRIM return slaves to some Brutor named Whacka Flame for example.
[ 2014.12.31 03:14:22 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > Oh?
[ 2014.12.31 03:15:01 ] Alexa de'Crux > /emote approaches the gardens and stands, waiting for Luna's approval to join her.
[ 2014.12.31 03:15:05 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > We should discuss later then. I will be finishing my retreat soon.
[ 2014.12.31 03:15:37 ] Esna Pitoojee > Your retreat? Your time here, you mean?
[ 2014.12.31 03:15:51 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote nods. "I've been here nearly two weeks"
[ 2014.12.31 03:17:25 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote glances at Alexa "Hello, Do have a sea tif you wish."
[ 2014.12.31 03:17:51 ] Alexa de'Crux > /emote nods and finds a place on a garden bench.
[ 2014.12.31 03:17:56 ] Esna Pitoojee > /emote glances over at Alex, rising one eyebrow - but nods in greeting.
[ 2014.12.31 03:18:13 ] Alexa de'Crux > /emote nods. "Sir."
[ 2014.12.31 03:18:20 ] Erin Savonarola > /emote stands and lights a candle. She goes back to kneeling
[ 2014.12.31 03:18:57 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Have a safe trip back to the wormhole. I hope Lady Kalestria gets to see you before you venture back."
[ 2014.12.31 03:19:42 ] Esna Pitoojee > Oh, I'm not leaving yet - and yes, I manage to return to her fairly often.
[ 2014.12.31 03:20:03 ] Esna Pitoojee > Thankfully. *Esna grins.* I don't know what I would do if I had to stay away for to long.
[ 2014.12.31 03:20:39 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote giggles softly.
[ 2014.12.31 03:20:56 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Well.. that is good. I should hate to think the wormholes are a better alternative."
[ 2014.12.31 03:21:01 ] Alexa de'Crux > /emote blushes on the bench, but doesn't say anything.
[ 2014.12.31 03:21:09 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Have you met Ms. De'Crux?"
[ 2014.12.31 03:22:02 ] Esna Pitoojee > /emote nods slightly > Briefly, yes - we've had business before. Though I do not ever believe face to faace.
[ 2014.12.31 03:22:21 ] Alexa de'Crux > /emote stands and bows. "Sir. Alexa de'Crux, sir."
[ 2014.12.31 03:22:56 ] Esna Pitoojee > Good evening, Ms. de'Crux.
[ 2014.12.31 03:23:00 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "She is the Satellium for the Society. Although as of late, she's had some other ventures." Lunarisse gives Alexa a slightly arch look. "And how did last night go, if you can speak of it?"
[ 2014.12.31 03:23:03 ] Alexa de'Crux > Good evening, sir.
[ 2014.12.31 03:23:18 ] Alexa de'Crux > It went...well, ma'am.
[ 2014.12.31 03:25:11 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > Everyone.. safe?
[ 2014.12.31 03:25:18 ] Alexa de'Crux > Yes, ma'am.
[ 2014.12.31 03:25:52 ] Esna Pitoojee > /emote looks between the two of them, raising one eyebrow.
[ 2014.12.31 03:26:02 ] Alexa de'Crux > Per your orders, I had no direct contact with Ms. Sakakibara.
[ 2014.12.31 03:28:56 ] Alexa de'Crux > The...operation was successful.
[ 2014.12.31 03:29:04 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Alright, We can talk more later". gives a satisfied nod.
[ 2014.12.31 03:29:18 ] Erin Savonarola > /emote gets up and lights another candle before kneeling back down
[ 2014.12.31 03:29:18 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "I was talking to Lord Pitoojee here about taking in slaves."
[ 2014.12.31 03:29:26 ] Alexa de'Crux > Ma'am?
[ 2014.12.31 03:29:30 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > So I am glad you are here."
[ 2014.12.31 03:29:51 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote rubs the bridge of her nose. "I planned to discuss this in Nahyeen but since you are here.."
[ 2014.12.31 03:30:33 ] Alexa de'Crux > If you wish, ma'am, we can conduct the conversation later, over a secure channel.
[ 2014.12.31 03:31:24 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > Alright, although I don't expect it to remain under wraps very long.
[ 2014.12.31 03:31:33 ] Alexa de'Crux > /emote nods.
[ 2014.12.31 03:31:46 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > It will be a rather public deployment by its nature even if we don't seek such.
[ 2014.12.31 03:32:30 ] Esna Pitoojee > I can depart, if need be...?
[ 2014.12.31 03:33:48 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > Oh no need,
[ 2014.12.31 03:33:56 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote glances at the fountains and sees the fish swimming.
[ 2014.12.31 03:34:22 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote takes out some bread crumbs from her pockets and scatters them into the water, with a soft smile on her face.
[ 2014.12.31 03:34:57 ] Erin Savonarola > /emote gets up and lights a third candle before kneeling back down in prayer
[ 2014.12.31 03:35:17 ] Esna Pitoojee > /emote nods > If you're sure - I hope there hasn't been to much trouble, though?
[ 2014.12.31 03:35:36 ] Alexa de'Crux > /emote is clearly a bit uncomfortable at the question, but doesn't react too much outwardly.
[ 2014.12.31 03:35:40 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote glances at Alexa "the trouble doesn't concern the Society. But I suspect there was some."
[ 2014.12.31 03:37:05 ] Alexa de'Crux > No trouble, ma'am. I was just...reflecting on recent events, ma'am.
[ 2014.12.31 03:38:50 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > Alright.
[ 2014.12.31 03:39:31 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > I won't be receiving any calls from Lord Sakikabara will I? *slightly grin. Yes, Luna is in a better mood today*
[ 2014.12.31 03:39:39 ] Alexa de'Crux > No, ma'am.
[ 2014.12.31 03:41:26 ] Esna Pitoojee > /emote raises one eyebrow, just listening again.
[ 2014.12.31 03:42:51 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Have you given any thought to what you want to cook for our meeting with Mr. Biko about the project where we may get slaves and other people?"
[ 2014.12.31 03:43:07 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote adds "I did reschedule with him by the way. No need to worry about us being late."
[ 2014.12.31 03:43:41 ] Alexa de'Crux > I have, ma'am. Beef-and-vegetable stew, with mashed potatoes.
[ 2014.12.31 03:44:02 ] Alexa de'Crux > It is....not the most imaginative meal, ma'am, but I felt that I should start small.
[ 2014.12.31 03:45:06 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "comfortable and solid. it should be fine."
[ 2014.12.31 03:45:20 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "I do hope he is not a vegeterian, He is an odd ducl."
[ 2014.12.31 03:45:44 ] Alexa de'Crux > /emote looks a bit worried. "Should I...prepare a salad, just in case, ma'am?"
[ 2014.12.31 03:46:14 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > Hmm.. probably sensible.
[ 2014.12.31 03:46:35 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote looks at Esna "As part of her development, I've asked her to lern how to cook"
[ 2014.12.31 03:47:01 ] Alexa de'Crux > /emote nods. "I will prepare a salad, then, ma'am."
[ 2014.12.31 03:49:01 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote nods. "That should be fine, then."
[ 2014.12.31 03:51:00 ] Alexa de'Crux > /emote nods.
[ 2014.12.31 03:52:46 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > My pardon, you two. I'd like go to in and pray for a bit. This is my last night here.
[ 2014.12.31 03:52:50 ] Erin Savonarola > /emote rises from he kneeler and genuflects before heading back to the door. She leaves.
[ 2014.12.31 03:53:22 ] Alexa de'Crux > Very well, ma'am.
[ 2014.12.31 03:54:05 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote gets up from where she was. She curtsies slightly to Esna. "Have a Blessed night."
[ 2014.12.31 03:54:24 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "I shall see you in Nahyeen, Satellium?"
[ 2014.12.31 03:55:03 ] Alexa de'Crux > Yes, ma'am, I will return there as soon as I have finished my prayers.
[ 2014.12.31 03:55:34 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote gives Alexa a slight nod. She makes her way through the cloisters to the Basilica proper and enters the nave.
[ 2014.12.31 03:57:58 ] Alexa de'Crux > /emote relaxes a little bit, then turns to her own prayers.
[ 2014.12.31 03:58:48 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote walks to a side chapel, filled with candles. She takes a wick and lights it and peruses the bank for unlit candles.
[ 2014.12.31 04:01:31 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote wrinkles her nose slightly as she studies the Bank of Candles and chuckles wryly.
[ 2014.12.31 04:02:53 ] Alexa de'Crux > /emote quietly enters and kneels in an alcove, praying softly in the dim light.
[ 2014.12.31 04:03:23 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote finally finds an unlit candle and lights it. She kneels in prayer.
[ 2014.12.31 04:10:26 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote finishes and makes her way to the dormitories and slips inside her room.

Basilica Interior. Set upon a grass-covered plateau on the planet Oris sits the Amarr Legio Basilica. <br><br>The sight that greets each pilot when they first enter the Basilica grounds is a large granite archway fifty feet tall, under which is draped a massive golden spun-silk banner bearing the Amarrian double-bow. Before the entrance is a guarded security checkpoint, where all weapons must be turned in before entering. Just behind this lies a rack of inactive holo drones, which facilitate capsuleers who are unable to be present in person. <br><br>Passing through the archway leads the pilot into a high vaulted passage, with various banners bearing the sigils of Amarrian heros hung between alcoves along the way. Below these stand statues honoring every ruler in the Emipre's long history, the last statue being dedicate to the current Empress, Jamyl I. <br><br>After about fifty yards the passageway opens into the Amarr Legio Basilica itself. Gilded pillars reach from the marble floor to the ceiling, supporting a huge domed roof covered in frescos of Scriptural stories. Around the entire work of art is a wreath of Holy Scripture in gold filigree, the lines selected to correspond with the stories depicted.<br><br>The gaps between the pillars are connected with smaller archways creating quiet, more private alcoves. These archways are topped by magnificent stained glass windows depicting ancient saints and warriors of the faith. Colored light streams upon the center of the main arena from them.<br><br>The nave is a circular, open public space, with several ornate tables (complete with comfortable seating) and a large fountain. Wherever a person stands their eye is drawn to the apse at the very far end of the Basilica. Behind a few rows of pews and a carved cherry wood railing is a large stone altar, simple in adornment except for two large golden braziers with gentle incense smoke rising from them. Behind the altar is a decorated stone pedistal atop of which stands a sixty-foot tall statue of a praying angel, gazing down upon the open space. <br><br>Two large open doors stand on either side of the Basilica, the left leading to a cloister with a garden where a small non-alcoholic refreshment bar stands. A large pool of water flanked by tall trees lies in the center of the gardens and stretches a hundred meters long. The right door in the nave leads to the dormitory wing, which contains room, board and offices for residents, staff and guests, as well as a small adjoining chapel.</color>
Sabezan Visceralus > /emote walks to the Basilica. He walks over to the refreshments area after saying a short prayer by the altar. Sabezan orders himself a spiced tea and wanders over to a table and takes a seat.
Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote enters from the dormitories. She is wearing a plain <url=https://www.nadiatarr.com/media/catalog/product/cache/1/thumbnail/1900x/17c2151a3f12ebf0226ce1e5826e3ed5/w/h/white_cotton_embroidered_cut-out_dress2_1.jpg>White Linen Dress</url> . She is carrying a floral print suitcase.
Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote she glances at the new face, and pauses on her way through the Basilica.
Sabezan Visceralus > /emote looks over to the Amarr woman emerging from the dormitories. He offers her a polite nod accompanied with a smile in the same fashion if she happens to look in his direction.
Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote places her suit case down. "Hello Sir. I don't tend to see many people here this hour." She makes her way over the refreshment area and orders Holder Grey Tea.
Sabezan Visceralus > /emote stands up politely > Greetings, miss. * he bows slightly * I would not know about that. I do enjoy the peace and quiet the Basilica offers, a serene environment to pray.
Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote smiles. "That this place is."
Lunarisse Aspenstar > "May I have a seat? Oh.. and my name is Lunarisse Aspenstar"
Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote blushes 'my pardon for not introducing self promptly/."
Sabezan Visceralus > /emote gestures towards his table > I was just about to ask if you would grace me with your presence, miss Aspenstar. * he gives her a well mannered bow * Sabezan of House Visceralus, Holder of Ang'khadara on Nafomeh VI.
Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote says politely "thank you." She curtseys, then takes a seat, holding her tea.
Sabezan Visceralus > /emote takes a seat after her > It is a pleasure to make your aquintance.
Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Well.. I hope that turns out to the case." She pauses "I gather you are a fairly newly minted capsuleer?"
Sabezan Visceralus > /emote nods slightly > That I am. Less than a month as a capsuleer in the service of our Empress. I must admit, the capsuleer society is still a bit overwhelming.
Lunarisse Aspenstar > "It can be. it is especially striking how different their worldviews and moral compasses are when you encounter those not of the Faith or the Empire"
Lunarisse Aspenstar > "You;ll find that especially if you visit the galnet channels, 'Summit' or 'Intergalactic Summit'<br>"
Sabezan Visceralus > I have found it to be a very rocky road. Even among my peers sometimes I feel at lost.
Sabezan Visceralus > /emote nods in agreement > I did connect to the channel in question. It was a culture shock to say the least.
Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote tilts her head slightly, catching the prior comment "How so, among your peers?"
Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote sips her tea.
Sabezan Visceralus > /emote looks a bit uncomfortable at the question and flusters > There was... * he ponders * Misunderstandings.
Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote nods slightly "Well.. if you mean Holder peers, it is not my place to pry..."
Lunarisse Aspenstar > "But if you mean capsuleers.. I am happy to perhaps listen and help."
Sabezan Visceralus > Fellow Amarrian capsuleers.
Sabezan Visceralus > I appreciate the offer greatly, miss Aspenstar.
Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote places her tea down. "Well.. I have some time for the moment. My shuttle doesn't leave for another hour"
Sabezan Visceralus > /emote flusters slightly > I, uh, appreciate it. * he sips his tea tomake more time to think how to adress the topic *
Sabezan Visceralus > It seems even social encounters are more, how should I put it, more open and liberal. Even among fellow Amarrians in the capsuleer circles.
Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Yes, there is often less decorum. The function of exposure to the wider cluster and the sense of automony being a capsuleer affords"
Lunarisse Aspenstar > I think...
Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote frowns slightly.
Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Especially the autonomy" she repeats "there is no effective oversight after except moral suasion"
Sabezan Visceralus > /emote nods in agreement > Yes, I would be inclined to agree. So I have discvoered. Whether discussing general topics or courting.
Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote 's face flickers slightly, the emotion undiscernable "Courting? I confess I've not heard that topic among Amarr capsuleers in some time"
Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote tilts her head slightly "if I can ask, how did that come up?"
Sabezan Visceralus > /emote makes an awkward smile > I can somewhat understand why if past weeks have been any indication of how things are among the capsuleer population.
Sabezan Visceralus > /emote works up a rosy red on his cheeks when she asks the question > I suppose it is a fair question to ask.
Sabezan Visceralus > I did bring up the topic on my own accord.
Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote nods. "I think you'll find that among the Amarr capsuleers, most of those with such inclinations are married already. The others.. well they've allowed perceived immortality or the wide cluster to influence their thoughts"
Lunarisse Aspenstar > "I happen to know a bit of that.. I.. er... do some matchmaking from time to time. A relic of my pre-capsuleer days as a mother and aunt"
Sabezan Visceralus > /emote takes sip of his tea and nods > Ah, I see.
Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Capsuleer matches are very difficult"
Sabezan Visceralus > Yes, I can imagine. I was approached by a ni-kunni beneath my station recently and, well, I learnt the hard way things work very different among capsuleers.
Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote nods slightly "well.. as a Holder you have political and dynastic concerns. A great many Amarr capsuleers have lost sight of those realities."
Sabezan Visceralus > /emote lets out a sigh > Yes. And way before I should. Political pitfalls combined with all the intricacies of capsuleer society. * he shakes his head * It sometimes requires a lot of faith and prayer to keep my head straight.
Lunarisse Aspenstar > Regretabbly, the pool of candidates is shallow for a holder, who I assume, is a direct heir?
Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote glances meaningfully at <url=showinfo:1373//95144057>Sabezan Visceralus</url>.
Lunarisse Aspenstar > *strike everything after holder
Lunarisse Aspenstar > You may find a baseliner alliance is still preferable, assuming you can get past the distance issues.
Sabezan Visceralus > /emote nods slightly frowning slightly > The more I observe the harsher the realities seem to be.
Lunarisse Aspenstar > "There are holders that have made it work. Lord Piitojee for example. But then he found a capsuleer to marry."
Lunarisse Aspenstar > "She now maintains the holding while he pursues his space activities.
Sabezan Visceralus > I suppose courtship and the like should be for the moment last thing on my mind. 'Twas merely an example of a rude awakening to reality.
Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Lord Lok'ri is married to a baseliner. But their marriage pre-dates the capsule"
Lunarisse Aspenstar > /slash: /empte nods.
Sabezan Visceralus > /emote nods with a maybe slightly envious smile.
Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote sips her tea. "Well.. i am sure you continue to acclimate," she says respectfully, "when you are space side you should visit the Holy Grape at Emperor Family Academy. it will be a way to meer more of your peers in a more convivial setting"
Sabezan Visceralus > /emote gives her a polite smile > I have visited the establishment in question. I quite enjoyed it. I met a most peculiar capsuleer by the name of Lianne while there.
Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote chuckles. "Lady Lianne is certainly her own person."
Ithiria Deritan > /emote walks in and slips into one of the private alcoves for a moment
Lunarisse Aspenstar > "She is quite loyal to the Empire in her own way, but an example of what too long an absence can do to a capsuleer at times"
Sabezan Visceralus > That she is. Pleasant if somewhat direct person. * he nods as Lunarisse adds her comment * Ah.
Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote frowns as her datapad beeps. "My pardon, Milord, It seems I have a shuttle to catch."
Sabezan Visceralus > /emote nods with a smile > Of course, miss Aspenstar. I've quite enjoyed your company, I hope that our paths cross once more. God be with you on your travels.
Lunarisse Aspenstar > "have a Blessed day Sir." She rises, then gives a slight curtsey before collecting her suitcase.
Sabezan Visceralus > /emote stands up politely to give her a slight bow.

[ 2015.02.07 00:43:23 ] Nicoletta Mithra > /emote apparently just visited the basilica for a silent prayer, now starting to take a stroll through the garden to take some time for contemplation. That plan changes, though, as she notices Lunarisse. Nico gets her simple white, woolen robe in order....
[ 2015.02.07 00:43:54 ] Nicoletta Mithra > ...and makes her way over to Luna, greeting her with a traditional bow, Sarumite style.
[ 2015.02.07 00:44:57 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote smiles "Oh hello Nicolletta, how are you? This is a surprise."
[ 2015.02.07 00:45:06 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote curtsues.
[ 2015.02.07 00:46:32 ] Nicoletta Mithra > "It is to me as well. Quite a welcome surprise, though, as I meant to meet you for some time, with business preventing it. And thanks for asking: I'm fine. How about you?"
[ 2015.02.07 00:47:35 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote settles onto her blanket, which has room if Nicoletta wishes to sit "Tired."  She chuckles softly.

[ 2015.02.07 00:52:30 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > Of course!
[ 2015.02.07 00:53:03 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote asks "How have you been? Our duty cycles have not coincided much of late"
[ 2015.02.07 00:54:00 ] Nicoletta Mithra > /emote gives a thankful nod, then she settles down. "Ah, yes. Also, I had to work a lot planetsides. Family business. It's not always easy to deny the wishes of you lords, much less so if you want and need to do so politely."
[ 2015.02.07 00:54:33 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote nods and sighs.  She relaxes as the sun begins to warm her.
[ 2015.02.07 00:56:25 ] Nicoletta Mithra > So, I take it that the situation with Alexa has been resolved? I noticed we have quite a few new recruits. Good work!
[ 2015.02.07 00:57:59 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > Yes.  She is in a retreat right now to collect herself.  And we do have a range of new recruits.  I am a bit concerned I about bringing in more Holders but we'll see how it goes.
[ 2015.02.07 01:00:21 ] Nicoletta Mithra > Oh? What is wrong with the Holders?
[ 2015.02.07 01:00:38 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote chuckles "At times they think they run the place."
[ 2015.02.07 01:01:02 ] Nicoletta Mithra > /emote smiles. "Well, I'm sure you're able to handle them."
[ 2015.02.07 01:01:02 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > Had minor diplomatic issue last night when one offended Jennifer Starfall.  I know he meant well.

[ 2015.02.07 01:01:34 ] Nicoletta Mithra > I'm sure she'll be understanding, if explained. Should I talk to her about it?
[ 2015.02.07 01:01:56 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > If I don't catch her, sure.  I know she seems to really trust you.
[ 2015.02.07 01:02:12 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote blushes slighly "I thank you for your confidence in directing her to me"
[ 2015.02.07 01:03:19 ] Nicoletta Mithra > Sure. You do good work, after all. As I'm at that: I heard rumors that you weren't taking winning that PIE award too well? *Nico perks an eyebrow.*
[ 2015.02.07 01:04:05 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > Ah well... i wasn't sure how to take it.  I am fine now.

[ 2015.02.07 01:05:46 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > It is alright.  We all have our responsibilities...
[ 2015.02.07 01:07:23 ] Nicoletta Mithra > Just let me say that you are doing good work. And, though the reward for doing good lies in itself, there's nothing wrong with accepting the accolades that come with it. On the contrary...
[ 2015.02.07 01:08:03 ] Nicoletta Mithra > if you deny the accolades, that is rather selfish, as you deny others to be there for them as a guiding light. One isn't supposed to put ones light under a bushel.
[ 2015.02.07 01:12:26 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote murmers "I see."
[ 2015.02.07 01:12:39 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > I am not used to that Nicoletta.
[ 2015.02.07 01:12:55 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > I prefer to work in the background.. I always did with my husband, Bless his soul.
[ 2015.02.07 01:13:20 ] Nicoletta Mithra > Do you want me to tell you a secret?
[ 2015.02.07 01:13:34 ] Nicoletta Mithra > /emote perks an eyebrow at Luna.
[ 2015.02.07 01:13:34 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote says quietly "if you think you can trust me with it."
[ 2015.02.07 01:14:21 ] Nicoletta Mithra > /emote nods. "I sure can. To be honest, I'm kond'a relieved to have not won the award myself. I rather prefer to work in the background myself."
[ 2015.02.07 01:15:05 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote chuckles. "and I wished you had won it.  I planted a few seeds to get you nominated."  She looks down slightly with a sheepish look.
[ 2015.02.07 01:15:44 ] Nicoletta Mithra > /emote smiles. "Well, thank you for that! I appreciate that you think I would have deserved it."
[ 2015.02.07 01:16:12 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > *brightly* of course.  Your ideas have been the touchstone of what we've tried to do.
[ 2015.02.07 01:17:48 ] Nicoletta Mithra > And it's been you hard work, mainly, that has given those ideas some substance. So, you really deserved the accolades. Just see it as a new aspect to serving the corp, Greater Amarr and God.
[ 2015.02.07 01:18:10 ] Nicoletta Mithra > And, to be honest, you are even entitled to enjoy it, if you can.
[ 2015.02.07 01:19:02 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote nods slightly.
[ 2015.02.07 01:19:23 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > I'll try.. i just rather people just think of me as ordinary Luna though.
[ 2015.02.07 01:19:52 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote shrugs.
[ 2015.02.07 01:20:36 ] Nicoletta Mithra > Luna, you can trust that the people who know you will see through the mere title and bling. But, that said, even without all that, you are far from ordinary.
[ 2015.02.07 01:21:05 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote blushes. "Well..."
[ 2015.02.07 01:21:10 ] Nicoletta Mithra > /emote offers Lunarisse a warm, soothing smile.
[ 2015.02.07 01:21:13 ] Nicoletta Mithra > Ah.
[ 2015.02.07 01:21:23 ] Nicoletta Mithra > No backtalk on this.
[ 2015.02.07 01:21:30 ] Nicoletta Mithra > That's an order.
[ 2015.02.07 01:21:37 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote giggles. "Alright"
[ 2015.02.07 01:23:45 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "So are you going to catch up with Ms. Starfall? she keeps asking for you.'
[ 2015.02.07 01:24:09 ] Nicoletta Mithra > Oh... yes.
[ 2015.02.07 01:24:43 ] Nicoletta Mithra > I will.
[ 2015.02.07 01:24:57 ] Nicoletta Mithra > I think she had a big day, recently.
[ 2015.02.07 01:25:24 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > She did.  I am not sure I quite understand why but I know it was a big deal for her.
[ 2015.02.07 01:25:43 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > I just offered encouragement and smiled. *she gives a wry grin*
[ 2015.02.07 01:27:30 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "I know she ended up doing it and survived."
[ 2015.02.07 01:27:31 ] Nicoletta Mithra > Oh, she's a tube child. Apparently some... prototype? *Nico shrugs.* The Caldari are strange to me in some respects.
[ 2015.02.07 01:27:54 ] Nicoletta Mithra > Anyhow, yes, she has problems with interfacing with non-Caldari ships.
[ 2015.02.07 01:28:01 ] Nicoletta Mithra > So...
[ 2015.02.07 01:29:43 ] Nicoletta Mithra > I think she tried that.
[ 2015.02.07 01:30:34 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > Not successfully it sounded like, but i didn't realize why.
[ 2015.02.07 01:31:25 ] Nicoletta Mithra > /emote gives a nod. "Ahwell, that girl will manage, though, I'm sure. Is there anything you need me for? So far it's been mostly me asking and trying to steer you, no?"
[ 2015.02.07 01:32:23 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote nods. "I think we're doing alright for the moment.  After the umm.. recent fiasco when we tried help PIE with the Sansha, i think we'll be trying to stay closer to non -violent humanitarian efforts unless we are forced to do otherwise."
[ 2015.02.07 01:32:34 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "At least every Society ship escaped from the death trap.."
[ 2015.02.07 01:32:53 ] Nicoletta Mithra > Fiasco? *Nico perks an eyebrow.*
[ 2015.02.07 01:33:11 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > Either thrpough intel or bad luck
[ 2015.02.07 01:33:22 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > we ran  into three seperate pirate fleets.  The third engaged us.
[ 2015.02.07 01:33:22 ] Nicoletta Mithra > Mhmn.
[ 2015.02.07 01:33:44 ] Nicoletta Mithra > /emote gives a nod. "Well, that's the risk with such things."
[ 2015.02.07 01:34:34 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > Lord Mordant and I hid out in a station.  It had a dive bar.
[ 2015.02.07 01:34:37 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote wrinkles her nose.
[ 2015.02.07 01:35:20 ] Nicoletta Mithra > Oh? I hope you didn't take advantage on him? *Nico winks.*
[ 2015.02.07 01:35:35 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote turns pink "Nicoletta!"
[ 2015.02.07 01:36:12 ] Nicoletta Mithra > "Hey, who, knows, with all the match-making you do you might have talked him into some date!"
[ 2015.02.07 01:36:20 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote giggles.
[ 2015.02.07 01:36:26 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Well.. I think he and Erin might get along."
[ 2015.02.07 01:38:31 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote giggles.
[ 2015.02.07 01:38:37 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > That's an idea!
[ 2015.02.07 01:38:42 ] Vincent Pryce > /emote enters frrom a private alcove wearing a black gallente influened achuran rock star suit "Contessa, hmmm?"
[ 2015.02.07 01:38:57 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote looks up "Hello, Mr. Pruce..."
[ 2015.02.07 01:39:13 ] Nicoletta Mithra > /emote gives a little shake of her head. "Ohmy. Well... you do matchmaking for Holders? isn't that dangerous? But as we talk about holders again..." Nico turns her head, offering Vince a nod.
[ 2015.02.07 01:39:31 ] Vincent Pryce > /emote smiles softly "Lunarisse, what a fortuituos happenstance." he smiles to Nico as well with a nod.
[ 2015.02.07 01:39:39 ] Nicoletta Mithra > "Good evening Vincent."
[ 2015.02.07 01:39:46 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote says politely "Yes, we do seem to run into each other in the oddest places."
[ 2015.02.07 01:39:48 ] Vincent Pryce > As to you, Nicoletta.
[ 2015.02.07 01:40:29 ] Vincent Pryce > /emote chuckles softly "That is indeed so, not that I mind such a lucky coincidence. I'm sorry I did not mean to interrupt."
[ 2015.02.07 01:40:57 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > How is the baby?
[ 2015.02.07 01:42:08 ] Vincent Pryce > /emote smiles softly "She is well, with her mother tonight."
[ 2015.02.07 01:43:44 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Please give her my regards."
[ 2015.02.07 01:43:52 ] Nicoletta Mithra > "And mine, too!"
[ 2015.02.07 01:44:13 ] Vincent Pryce > /emote smiles softly "I will... I'm sure she will be quite happy to receive them."
[ 2015.02.07 01:47:14 ] Vincent Pryce > So, matchmaking the Contessa are we?
[ 2015.02.07 01:47:47 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote shrugs and says lightly "i am always making matches in my head."
[ 2015.02.07 01:48:08 ] Nicoletta Mithra > Mhmn, not me. I stay out of such things with the nobility.
[ 2015.02.07 01:48:31 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Probably wise. But then Nicoletta is the sensible one of our directors."
[ 2015.02.07 01:48:36 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote giggles at Vincent.
[ 2015.02.07 01:49:39 ] Vincent Pryce > /emote eyes Nico with a playful gaze "Mmm, that she is." before returning his eyes to Luanrisse "So, I am curious, if I wasn't married who would you try to marry me off to, Lunarisse?"
[ 2015.02.07 01:49:55 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote says brightly "Oh that's easy."
[ 2015.02.07 01:50:13 ] Vincent Pryce > /emote quirks his brow "Oh?"
[ 2015.02.07 01:50:17 ] Nicoletta Mithra > /emote perks an eyebrow at Luna. "Is that so?"
[ 2015.02.07 01:50:20 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Karmilla Strife, of course."
[ 2015.02.07 01:50:33 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > Some things are meant to be.
[ 2015.02.07 01:50:35 ] Vincent Pryce > /emote laughs "That's cheating, try again."
[ 2015.02.07 01:51:03 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote frowns slightly. "Well.. if I must think of someone else.."
[ 2015.02.07 01:51:15 ] Nicoletta Mithra > /emote gives a nod. "The question was obviously aimed at 'who, if not Karmilla', no?"
[ 2015.02.07 01:51:19 ] Vincent Pryce > /emote smiles softly "But you must."
[ 2015.02.07 01:51:54 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Hrm. I'll need to consider that a bit, so many variables.'
[ 2015.02.07 01:53:22 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote says brightly 'I'd need to interview you properly Vince"
[ 2015.02.07 01:54:23 ] Vincent Pryce > /emote makes note of her calling him Vince for the very first time "Then name the place and time and we have a date." he adds with a playful grin "Luna."
[ 2015.02.07 01:54:24 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "I never make a match  unless I've conducted a detailed interview of both the matcher and the matchee"
[ 2015.02.07 01:55:05 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > Oh.  Hrm. Perhaps next week, late in the week.  I expect to have time for an extended consultation then.
[ 2015.02.07 01:55:18 ] Nicoletta Mithra > Oh, come on, Luna, though I understand why you want to have an in depth interview with Vincent, here, you sure have someone in mind for him, no?
[ 2015.02.07 01:55:49 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote glances at Nicoletta "there's always more to the surface that needs to be known;'
[ 2015.02.07 01:56:06 ] Vincent Pryce > /emote can't help but stiffle a chuckle behind his hand catching the innuendo.
[ 2015.02.07 01:57:33 ] Nicoletta Mithra > /emote gives the hint of a grin. "I'm not sure that the question was aiming at much more that a surface evaluation. The Gallente call that 'small talk' for some reason."
[ 2015.02.07 01:58:08 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote frowns. "Well.  If someone is going to ask for my opinion on such a serious matter, I'd rather do it right."
[ 2015.02.07 01:58:43 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote says that totally forthrightly.
[ 2015.02.07 01:58:47 ] Vincent Pryce > Well, you let me know when you havet he time and I will be there, Lunarisse.
[ 2015.02.07 01:59:23 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > Perhaps Cafe Marlinea. I expect to be in the warzone most of the next week.
[ 2015.02.07 02:00:04 ] Nicoletta Mithra > /emote smiles, shaking her head slightly. "Typical Lunarisse. I'll give you a course on smalltalk, sometime." Nico grins, and offers Vince a wink.
[ 2015.02.07 02:00:36 ] Vincent Pryce > Cafe Marlinea, hmm alirght. I think that can be arranged.
[ 2015.02.07 02:00:39 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote looks at the two with wide eyes.
[ 2015.02.07 02:01:50 ] Vincent Pryce > /emote smiles to Nicoletta playfuly.
[ 2015.02.07 02:03:10 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote fidgets slightly "What else were you going to say about holders, Nicoletta..."
[ 2015.02.07 02:03:22 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Before we got sidetracked." *gives Vince a sidelong glance*
[ 2015.02.07 02:04:37 ] Nicoletta Mithra > Oh, just if you want me to talk to them?
[ 2015.02.07 02:05:11 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote ponders briefly "No, I think I'm fine."
[ 2015.02.07 02:05:31 ] Nicoletta Mithra > /emote nods. "Anything else corpwise you need my support for?"
[ 2015.02.07 02:05:56 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "No.  right now I think we're trying to adjust to both new holdings and members."
[ 2015.02.07 02:07:14 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "If you are available tomorrow, Mr. Danton is going to try to assist Ms. Ymladris's convoy.  Neither Lucas nor I can participate"
[ 2015.02.07 02:07:58 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "I always prefer to have one of us around."
[ 2015.02.07 02:08:09 ] Vincent Pryce > Do you need security detail?
[ 2015.02.07 02:08:24 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > I think Ms. Ymladris does need it. You'd need to contact her directly.
[ 2015.02.07 02:09:17 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > Nauplis, and other miscreants were asking about the operation.
[ 2015.02.07 02:09:47 ] Nicoletta Mithra > /emote gives a look at Luna, than Vince. "It'd be appreciated if you could arrange for something like that." She looks back at Luna. "I probably won't make it either. Family business will prevent me from doing much in space until Wednesday next week has...
[ 2015.02.07 02:09:51 ] Nicoletta Mithra > ...passed."
[ 2015.02.07 02:10:13 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote nods.
[ 2015.02.07 02:12:10 ] Vincent Pryce > Ah, Ymladris.
[ 2015.02.07 02:13:23 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Ah, Ymladris?"
[ 2015.02.07 02:13:29 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote cocks her head curoiusly.
[ 2015.02.07 02:14:56 ] Vincent Pryce > /emote smiles softly "She'd ave to contact us, if were your operation I'd be happily offered our services."
[ 2015.02.07 02:17:00 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote nods. "it is not my operation. I do know she put a general call out for help on the IGS":
[ 2015.02.07 02:18:54 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > I"I will keep that in mind with respect to us, however"
[ 2015.02.07 02:19:02 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote flashes a smile.
[ 2015.02.07 02:19:24 ] Vincent Pryce > /emote nods "We've learned the hard way not to get involved in general requests. Friends however are a different matter." he smiles.
[ 2015.02.07 02:22:05 ] Nicoletta Mithra > I will let Cpt. Danton know that he can contact you, should he feel like he needs someone to help with security.
[ 2015.02.07 02:24:42 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote frowns as her datapad beeps "My pardon, my spiritual advisor is comming me."
[ 2015.02.07 02:25:01 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "I... guess I need to go." She glances at both Vincent and Nicoleta.
[ 2015.02.07 02:25:11 ] Nicoletta Mithra > /emote gives a nod. "I should retreat for the night as well."
[ 2015.02.07 02:25:25 ] Nicoletta Mithra > Much work to do, tmorrow.
[ 2015.02.07 02:25:28 ] Vincent Pryce > /emote nods to the both of them "Alright, good night ladies."
[ 2015.02.07 02:25:33 ] Jennifer Starfall > /emote wanders into garden.
[ 2015.02.07 02:25:48 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote rises from her blanket and begins to fold it.  She never did get to garden tonight!
[ 2015.02.07 02:26:15 ] Jennifer Starfall > /emote stops in surprised at people gathered.
[ 2015.02.07 02:26:17 ] Nicoletta Mithra > /emote notices Jennifer, after having risen from that blanket as well.
[ 2015.02.07 02:26:46 ] Jennifer Starfall > /emote hesitates and blushes.
[ 2015.02.07 02:27:11 ] Nicoletta Mithra > /emote waves at Jenn. "Hmm, I might stay just a little while longer." She waves Jenn over.
[ 2015.02.07 02:27:34 ] Jennifer Starfall > /emote walks over to join the group.
[ 2015.02.07 02:27:43 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote murmers "Good night Ms, Starfall"  as she makes her way to the dormitories with her basket and blanket.
[ 2015.02.07 02:28:02 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote glances at Nicolettsa.
[ 2015.02.07 02:28:23 ] Jennifer Starfall > Oh... good night, Lu... Ms. Aspenstar.
[ 2015.02.07 02:28:57 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote disappears into the dormitories.
[ 2015.02.07 02:29:52 ] Nicoletta Mithra > /emote waves Luna goodnight. "Hello Jennifer. Do you already know Vincent Pryce?"
[ 2015.02.07 02:29:59 ] Vincent Pryce > /emote smiles to Jennifer "Oh we do."
[ 2015.02.07 02:30:26 ] Jennifer Starfall > We go way back. I think about as far back as we do.
[ 2015.02.07 02:31:29 ] Nicoletta Mithra > Ah. *Nico smiles.* I would have guessed that you know each other at least from your time in Pyre, Jenn.
[ 2015.02.07 02:32:26 ] Nicoletta Mithra > /emote takes a look around, making sure they are in semi-privacy, then she hugs Jennifer. "I'm proud." She says.
[ 2015.02.07 02:33:47 ] Jennifer Starfall > /emote blushes deeply.
[ 2015.02.07 02:34:44 ] Nicoletta Mithra > /emote releases Jennifer from the hug.
[ 2015.02.07 02:35:13 ] Jennifer Starfall > Thank you... that means alot.
[ 2015.02.07 02:35:16 ] Nicoletta Mithra > "Hey, you're blushing! No need to. Really." Nico winks at Jenn.
[ 2015.02.07 02:35:41 ] Jennifer Starfall > /emote gives Nico a flustered look.
[ 2015.02.07 02:36:55 ] Jennifer Starfall > I... I had support from my friends.
[ 2015.02.07 02:37:01 ] Jennifer Starfall > /emote glances at Vincent.
[ 2015.02.07 02:37:49 ] Nicoletta Mithra > /emote smiles. "Don't expect me to hug all of them, too! There are standards an Amarrian has to keep herself to." Nico winks.
[ 2015.02.07 02:38:17 ] Vincent Pryce > /emote smiles to the two of them.
[ 2015.02.07 02:40:11 ] Jennifer Starfall > I'm glad your proud of me. It means alot.
[ 2015.02.07 02:40:40 ] Nicoletta Mithra > /emote offers Jennifer a smile. "it's earned."
[ 2015.02.07 02:42:34 ] Jennifer Starfall > Ms. ah.. Aspenstar has been a big help, too.
[ 2015.02.07 02:43:21 ] Vincent Pryce > (( sorry ooc bullshit to deal with ))
[ 2015.02.07 02:43:46 ] Nicoletta Mithra > I'm glad to hear that.
[ 2015.02.07 02:44:10 ] Jennifer Starfall > How have you been?
[ 2015.02.07 02:44:34 ] Nicoletta Mithra > I'm fine. Quite buy. Oh... I heard that one of the Holders that are SFRIM members gave you trouble in TGW?
[ 2015.02.07 02:44:39 ] Nicoletta Mithra > *busy
[ 2015.02.07 02:45:41 ] Jennifer Starfall > /emote blushes and stammers "Lord Anderson.. no... not really.
[ 2015.02.07 02:46:13 ] Jennifer Starfall > He was just got a little... holderish.
[ 2015.02.07 02:46:47 ] Nicoletta Mithra > /emote tilts her head. "Well, yah. It is in their habit. Still, my apologies."
[ 2015.02.07 02:47:43 ] Jennifer Starfall > Oh, no, it's okay... I was just.... tweaking him a bit.
[ 2015.02.07 02:48:14 ] Nicoletta Mithra > /emote tilts her head, smiling a little. "You were tweaking him?"
[ 2015.02.07 02:48:54 ] Nicoletta Mithra > "Now, now..."
[ 2015.02.07 02:49:36 ] Jennifer Starfall > /emote says with some fire, "He was granting me permission to help with the Arcology convoy.
[ 2015.02.07 02:50:35 ] Vincent Pryce > /emote snaps back to reality and pays attention to hte conversation "Doesn't Halcyon deny you anykind of offencive action though?"
[ 2015.02.07 02:50:59 ] Jennifer Starfall > /emote glares at Vincent.
[ 2015.02.07 02:51:26 ] Vincent Pryce > /emote quirks his brow with a soft smile "Or has her policy changed of recent?"
[ 2015.02.07 02:52:08 ] Jennifer Starfall > /emote starts to answer Vince, but stops.
[ 2015.02.07 02:52:39 ] Nicoletta Mithra > What's offensive about that convoy?
[ 2015.02.07 02:52:56 ] Nicoletta Mithra > To be honest, I haven't read up on the details on the IGS.
[ 2015.02.07 02:53:12 ] Vincent Pryce > Nothing per se, Nico. However, it's an open request, there will be undesirables.
[ 2015.02.07 02:53:25 ] Jennifer Starfall > Nauplius has expressed interest.
[ 2015.02.07 02:53:39 ] Vincent Pryce > /emote tilts his head "Case. Point."
[ 2015.02.07 02:54:09 ] Nicoletta Mithra > Well, then there would be rather defensive action involved on Jennifer's part, no?
[ 2015.02.07 02:54:10 ] Jennifer Starfall > /emote shakes her head and waves her hands in denieal. "Wait, stop derailing me."
[ 2015.02.07 02:54:44 ] Jennifer Starfall > /emote takes a settling breath.
[ 2015.02.07 02:55:00 ] Nicoletta Mithra > /emote perks an eyebrow.
[ 2015.02.07 02:57:32 ] Jennifer Starfall > I think Lord Anderson might be in some kind of danger or trouble.
[ 2015.02.07 02:59:23 ] Nicoletta Mithra > oh?
[ 2015.02.07 02:59:28 ] Nicoletta Mithra > /emote tilts her head.
[ 2015.02.07 03:00:14 ] Jennifer Starfall > Apparently, he fell asleep in the Grape the night before. After Lunarisse left, and we were talking, I noticed a dart in his neck.
[ 2015.02.07 03:03:05 ] Nicoletta Mithra > Hmmmn, but if he's aware now, he sure will have his security increased and on special alert.
[ 2015.02.07 03:06:10 ] Jennifer Starfall > /emote mumbles "Well, I thought you should know."
[ 2015.02.07 03:07:17 ] Nicoletta Mithra > /emote nods. "Thanks for making me aware!"
[ 2015.02.07 03:10:18 ] Nicoletta Mithra > "it's good you told me, because Holders are usually too proud to share such information."
[ 2015.02.07 03:10:30 ] Jennifer Starfall > /emote smiles.
[ 2015.02.07 03:11:37 ] Nicoletta Mithra > Well, I need to run, Jennifer, I'm sorry. Vincent. Godspeed to the two of you!
[ 2015.02.07 03:11:45 ] Jennifer Starfall > I know you were about leave. I don't want to keep you, but it was nice seeing you again.
[ 2015.02.07 03:11:48 ] Vincent Pryce > See you later, Nico.
[ 2015.02.07 03:11:53 ] Jennifer Starfall > /emote hugs Nico.
[ 2015.02.07 03:12:26 ] Jennifer Starfall > Be safe.
[ 2015.02.07 03:12:27 ] Nicoletta Mithra > /emote retruns the hug, then she offers Vince a nod. "Later, Vince. And I will see you later as well, Jennifer!"
[ 2015.02.07 03:19:40 ] Jennifer Starfall > /emote watches Nico leave.
[ 2015.02.07 03:20:24 ] Vincent Pryce > /emote turns to Jenn "So, what brings you to the Basilica?"
[ 2015.02.07 03:21:07 ] Jennifer Starfall > /emote turns back towards Vince and gives him a serious look.
[ 2015.02.07 03:21:28 ] Jennifer Starfall > I need to talk to you as a friend and as part of the public face of Pyre.
[ 2015.02.07 03:21:55 ] Vincent Pryce > /emote nods with a soft smile "Then we are at a wrong place to do at least one of those things."
[ 2015.02.07 03:23:11 ] Jennifer Starfall > /emote sighs. "Probably. Decorum is still one of my challenges."
[ 2015.02.07 03:27:56 ] Vincent Pryce > Lets go to somewhere private then, no?
[ 2015.02.07 03:28:06 ] Jennifer Starfall > Yeah. Your place?
[ 2015.02.07 03:29:10 ] Vincent Pryce > /emote nods
[ 2015.02.07 03:29:26 ] Vincent Pryce > Wait, the club or ...my place?
[ 2015.02.07 03:30:43 ] Jennifer Starfall > I'm not sure. Why don't you just tell me where you're comfortable with?
[ 2015.02.07 03:30:59 ] Vincent Pryce > /emote smiles softly "Alright. Follow me."
[ 2015.02.07 03:32:55 ] Jennifer Starfall > /emote follows Vince.
