Correspondence - The Nauplius Victims

Assistance for SFRIM
From: Morwen LagannSent: 2016.05.19 06:40
To: Kathy Watanabe,

Ms. Watanabe -

I'm not sure if you follow the IGS or not, but Aria Jenneth of SFRIM (one of our blues independent of Rote's dictated alliance-wide standings) has come into the stewardship of several tens of thousands of slaves who are victims of Nauplius' cruel experiments.

Tyrathlion Interstellar has a long history of providing medical care to victims of the Blood Raiders and other Sani Sabik groups at our facilities in the Kingdom, and so I've offered Aria (and by extension, SFRIM) our staff and expertise in helping treat these people. Since you're the corporation's CMO (my most sincere apologies on the rather... lengthy... delay in making it official, I've been an unhelpful mixture of ill and lazy of late) and I will be somewhat indisposed and of limited availability for the next week or so, I think it would be best if you could represent TYRIN in this matter.

If you could, contact Aria and/or Lunarisse Aspenstar to coordinate efforts. Please feel free to include me on any mails as you see fit.

As far as I know, any staff and equipment being assigned to assist should be directed to the Zoar and Sons station in orbit of Nahyeen VII, where SFRIM is based.

If you need to reach me, I will try to respond to mail, but will be largely disconnected from the Neocom network while I am dealing with some local politics back in the Kingdom.

Thanks,
~Morwen

Aria, Mrs. Daphiti -

I've asked Kathy to take point on this matter in my stead, as I am going to be busy dealing with unpleasant political nonsense in the Kingdom for a few days to a week. She's quite responsible and I feel more than comfortable passing this off to her to handle.

As noted in my message to her, please feel free to include me on any mails as you see fit, but do not feel pressured to do so. I will have periodic access to mail on the Neocom network if you need to reach me while I am away.

Regards,

Medical Assistance

To: Lunarisse Aspenstar
INBOX

The following pilots have volunteered support, in the following forms.

Braeyon Cussier - 7 medical specialists

Literia - 15 medics with experience with Vitoc withdrawal

This is in addition to our own efforts and temporary hires. I have alerted our security and medical personnel to the incoming support. I'm hoping to get more in the days ahead.

Thank you Aria.

I am not sure, if I told you.. but the following Holders took feulast time:

Esna Pitojee (has facilities to handle the more traumatized/medically complicated ones)
Karmilla Strife's father (limited space for the more stable ones)
Lucas Raholan (for the more stable ones)
Zekiel Ikry (for the ones needing more structure and discipline)

Lord Vulxcanis has offered.

I'd also like to approach the new Lady Admiral and .. Braeyon Cussier of the Society to see how his father reacts.

for those who need.. long term medical and mental care, I contacted Seraphim Risen. Jandice Ymladris may also be a candidate. I recall you had.. issues with my selection of Zaichi.

But those are all people I'd like us to discuss and approach in the coming days.

Many Things.

To: Lunarisse Aspenstar,

((This is a video message.))

James appears as he always does, fastidiously tidy in something that screams understated opulence and bearing a broad smile. He gives a polite bow as he starts to speak.

Gracious Lady.

It has been too long since we have had an opportunity to speak. I would be happy to assist in the rehabilitation of the poor unfortunates recently freed.

Smiles broadly again.

As it is illegal for any non-Holder to own slaves within the Empire, and as I am prohibited by Federal law as a Federal citizen to do so… there would of course be a generous stipend for any wishing to relocate to the Federation or Tribal Entity. Understanding that you may be prevented by Imperial law from doing so.
You should know my Lady that I have spoken to others regarding this matter…. whose interpretation of legality might differ from yours.

Reaches do disconnect then stops and looks directly at the camera, the pretense of the previous conversation seems to have gone.

Here also… are the heralds of his phrase.

Disconnects.

Re: Many Things.

Dear James,

You look lovely as as always.

And your company is welcome.

It may come as a surprise to the chattering jackdaws of the IGS that the Society has already had plans - and resources - in place for this sort of situation.... having handled it seven times before i think, with PIE, before without any apparent interest by the rest of the cluster until certain parties saw fit to publicize private dealings and to turn it into a circus in the interests of PR and moral posturing.

We had gallente citizens, i thought it best they return to the Federation. Just that simple. As I was.. indisposed.. Ms. Jenneth who took creditable iniative, did not contact my usual Federation contacts - including you - and I have since informed her of my preferences for future purposes in light of Sanxing's lack of discretion.

The tragedy however is this all may be moot. The Butcher in his rage after our last such rescue, created some vile cocktails not compatitable with the usual varieties in the empire, ensuring grave and serious withdrawal consequences, even with the best medical minds in the cluster hard at work and a 1-1 staff/patient ratio.

Right now.. I am seriously worried about an 80-100 percent casualty rate. Our facility has taken on the aspect.. of a hospice.

Amid this sea of dying, I truly have no time or desire to weigh on the chattering nabobs of the IGS nor do I need to. None of them have bothered to contact *me* or to notice that I have not weighed in or to notice that i did not ask for their advice or assistance in the first place, Nor frankly, do I have time to sort through and address all the inaccuracies. They can continue to have their irrelevant conversation - without me. I think they'll be happier that way.

Forgive me for my tone, it is not directed at you. I have very little patience with the IGS at present. I dislike self aggrandizement and I see it in spades at present. Certain corporates, Sanxing in particular, are off my "list". Forever.

DO not hesitate to comm me if you see me connected. I am... rather distracted.... either trying to assist where I can.. or praying.

Cordially and with God's Blessings,

Lunarisse Aspenstar Daphiti

Gracious Lady.
I am indeed troubled to hear about the dire prognosis of those unfortunate souls rescued from… the ‘deviant’. At least now, if they must die, they can do it with dignity in an environment of compassion. It is in circumstances such as these that the prospect of… the future realm… Well you understand better than I. I will ask my… friends in the gloom, to stay any efforts… regarding this situation.
As always, your humble servant.

Sinjin's mewling on IGS
From: Karmilla Strife
To: Lunarisse Aspenstar, Aria Jenneth
INBOX

Sinjin and his junkie puppet are doing their best to sow discord on the thread about Sanxing's assistance with the latest round of Nauplius' victims. I believe it would be best to shut down their transparent attempts to disrupt any form of cross-faction cooperation. However due to my own past association, and current distant association with the Cartel, it should probably not come from me.

Sinjin Mokk has no legitimacy as either a holder or as a serious pirate threat. His legal claim would bear no weight even if he was a Khanid holder, because Nauplius purchases his slaves from Amarr Empire stations, thus even if removed from the SCC market, they remain Imperial subjects (or foreign citizens being punished according to Imperial law). Finally, and most importantly, we should make it absolutely clear that the slaves are not for sale (I assume that's our position). They are especially not for sale to outlaws.

We don't need legal advice Mokk or his associate. When SFRIM and Sanxing need help failing to extort planets or whoring ourselves out for spare Kredits, then we'll go to Sinjin for advice.

Agreed.

We had some gallente citizens, i thought it best they return to the Federation. Just that simple. As I was.. indisposed.. Ms. Jenneth who took creditable initiative, did not contact my usual Federation contacts and Sanxing offered to take them. I have since informed her of my preferences for future purposes in light of Sanxing's lack of discretion in publicizing private dealings turning them into a circus in the interests of PR and moral posturing.
I am not even dignifying him - nor the rest of the thread - with a response. Nor is one necessary in my view from anyone in SFRIM other than the quiet "thanks" for assistance that Aria has already ably expressed.

The tragedy however is this all may be moot. The Butcher in his rage after our last such rescue, created some vile cocktails not compatable with the usual varieties in the empire, ensuring grave and serious withdrawal consequences, even with the best medical minds in the cluster hard at work and a 1-1 staff/patient ratio.

Right now.. I am seriously worried about an 80-100 percent casualty rate. Our facility has taken on the aspect.. of a hospice. You may very well have the only survivors as they were newer and not subjected to this.. treatment.

Amid this sea of dying, I truly have no time or desire to weigh on the chattering nabobs of the IGS nor do I need to nor does anyone else. They can continue to have their irrelevant conversation - without us. I think they'll be happier that way.

We will move on. Without them.

Implied order acknowledged, Directrix. I'll avoid comment.

... though I'm a little concerned that Sinjin's arguments might look a little better to the ignorant than to the informed-- particularly since he and certain Matari have a common interest in making us look as awful as possible. They're apt to join forces.

Very respectfully, as much as I agree that these are silly allegations, we might be in some danger of coming across like the sort of scandal-burdened Federal politician who can only say "no comment" when questioned by reporters.

I believe your choice not to respond is the more temperate option, and appropriate considering the mounting casualties. I just don't like that man. He claims absolute allegiance to whatever faction is convenient to him at the time. He thinks he's clever and that the world is too stupid to see him for what he truly is, a degenerate poseur, aping authority and menace. The Dominations laugh at him and I'm sure holders in the Kingdom do the same.

Dealing with this crisis has taken a great deal of our time and resources and I'm greatly offended that he has the nerve to swoop in, claim authority, and then try to pawn off these people for 1 ISK each. The man should be publicly flayed, his name forgotten, and his ashes scattered into low orbit.

IGS Drama
From: Lunarisse Aspenstar
To: Societas Imperialis Sceptri Coronaeque [SFRIM]
CORP

As I've talked separately with several people in corporate channels and mails and otherwise, but want to make sure we're all on the same page.

To the extent we ever respond to the thread caused by Saxing's ill-advised press release and Sinjinn Mokk's instigation after we privately turned over some gallente citizens to them, I'd like to be a unified statement and AFTER we are finished dealing with the refugees.

Accordingly, I appreciate if Societas members can refrain from weighing in until we know the ultimate fate of the refugees.. which is exceedingly grim.. a statement has been worked on internally and then published if deemed appropriate. Our friends know who we are and what we do. I don't think the opinion of the nattering nabobs of the IGS matter much.

The tragedy however is this all may be moot. The Butcher in his rage after our last such rescue, created some vile cocktails not compatable with the usual varieties in the empire, ensuring grave and serious withdrawal consequences, even with the best medical minds in the cluster hard at work and a 1-1 staff/patient ratio.
Right now.. I am seriously worried about an 80-100 percent casualty rate. Our facility has taken on the aspect.. of a hospice.

Some points:
(1) As Praefecta Strife pointed out, Sinjin Mokk has no legitimacy as either a holder or as a serious pirate threat. His legal claim would bear no weight even if he was a Khanid holder, because Nauplius purchases his slaves from Amarr Empire stations and npc corporations, thus even if removed from the SCC market, they remain Imperial subjects (or foreign citizens being punished according to Imperial law). SFRIM of course adheres to Imperial Law.
(2) Most importantly, we should make it absolutely clear that the slaves are not for sale. They are especially not for sale to outlaws.
(3) We have not decided their disposition yet. In the past, they have been repatriated to responsible holders or placed in long term mental/medical care facilities as circumstances dictated. At this time, any decision is decidely premature. There may very well be no one to decide about, despite our best efforts. In that regard, I commend everyone's efforts and ask, in addition to those contributions of self, isk and materials, for prayer.

My door's always open. Don't be afraid to chime in internally.

Miz has offered assistance in the Vitoc research, in the form of Republic specialists experienced in synthesizing treatments both for new forms of Vitoc and mutated strains.

She's not laying any requirements or demands on her assistance, at least at this time.

Well-- the recent assassination attempt did not, I think, have anything to do with Miz, Directrix. She's a die-hard anti-slaver with a lot of rage, but she's not irrational. If she's sending scientists, they won't even really be involved with the patients, so ...
