Illegal Weapons Recovered by Asari Republics

ATHENA - A shipment containing some 3,500 tonnes of illegal weaponry bound for Illium was intercepted when the transport’s pilot allegedly performed an incorrect sequence of relay jumps and found himself in the wrong part of Republic space.

After a brief scuffle with the crew, customs agents discovered that the shipment was highly illegal, even by Illium’s standards; the Port Authority cited examples of contraband including bioweaponry, firearms, and WMDs. These materials were to be shipped in crates marked for medical and research facilities on the planet, though it is suspected they were intended for factions of the Eclipse or Blue Suns. The ship’s sensor logs indicate that the vessel passed through parts of Confederacy Space, though the specific origin and destination were wiped from the navigation unit before Customs agents could obtain them.

Port Authority officials state that all five members of the batarian crew are under arrest and are currently negotiating with Khar’shan for custody of the prisoners. The shipments have been handed over to disposal teams.

Okay, look, I know it's hard for a blue bitch like you but try to think with something other than your cunt. As nice as it would be to turn Yellowbelly HQ into a fucking crater it's not gonna happen. We don't get anything out of it that could make the backlash from unloading multiple WMD's on a spiritsdamned millions strong colony even the tiniest bit worth it. What we would get is a fuckton of pissed off asari on our ass, being barred from even looking at C-Space, and a nice, fat, black mark by everyone outside the fucking Abyss.

Okay, with me here, here's where its going to get complex for a bleeding heart like you.

If somethings not profitable we dont' fucking do it.

3:O

Logic. How does it fucking work?

Granted I'm not well-connected in mercenary circles, but I got the impression that the Suns haven't been inclined to just cede the planet and call it a day. :/

...I was thinking more in terms of 'having access to weapons despite prohibition to use in regular operations'.

Yeah but we're barely on Illium as it is. What'd be the fucking point? Could ship them to places were they'd actually do some good instead.

Says the ex cerbie who introduces herself to everyone as an ex- fucking-cerbie and then tells them that she works for the spiritsdamned AIA. Oh yeah. I'm the one who has no fucking clue what's going on.

Here's a question for you cerbiehead, ever heard of "opsec"?

Failing that, how about "common sense"?

Edit: On second thought, I lost my temper and I'm sorry.
I'm aware of operations security. I haven't told you anything about my work.
Yes, I'm a former member of Cerberus. I told you and a lot of people because I was trying to get past it.
Now that I have, I would greatly appreciate it if you'd simply stop referring to me as that.
I'm not a member of Cerberus. It's dead and gone. If you'd have any decency, please just let me move on.
I've been haunted enough in my dreams and my memories and I'm reminded by the pain that group caused by the handful of pills I have to take every morning due to pain and anti-psychotics. I know you're going to consider laughing this off. I only ask that you don't rip an old wound open every time you communicate with me.

Because they are against what we've agreed together that are inalienable. The freedom to pursue happiness, the freedom from slavery, the right to own property and right to live from tyranny of madmen and murderers.

That's why slavery is hated and will be until the day the shackles are cast apart and last slave liberated.

The guise of freedom and rights only exist because there are people who do the uncomfortable things that keep the civilized galaxy believing that their society comes without grave cost. Wage slavery is still alive and well in Citadel Space and a good chunk of restoration efforts comes from cheap labor. During times of crisis nearly everyone is eager to give up their rights for safety, because survival is paramount; there is little different between a slave and a worker who is paid a pathetic sum they cannot even hope to live off of. Often times the slaves have food and shelter provided for them, which is not to say the action is benevolent, they are a resource that must be maintained in the mind of a slaver. This notion that everyone is equal is nice, I wish it were true, but it isn’t and sadly I don’t think it’ll ever be. So if the option is between believing in the lie of freedom and democracy or cutting the crap, I’d much rather cut the crap than live in some delusional fantasy where people live in institutionalized ignorance of how dark the galaxy really is.

Places like the Citadel have minimum wages. And living off it fuckin sucks. It's not easy-I would know. But I'd rather be where I am than a slave, because I have a chance to make my life different in the future. And you can go on about how fucked up society is-and it always has been-but deciding to have slavery just because we can't stop people living on minimum wage or surviving on welfare, is wrong. You can't justify the people who attacked my home and take away free will, stick fucking chips on people's heads, because we have people working on extremely low wages.

Apparently it's a high goddamn priority for you to fucking follow every-little-goddamn thing I do and then insult and degrade me for it. Kiss my ass, Archmagus, you sniveling bastard.

I feel obligated to point out that he wasn't talking to you until you turned up and insulted him.

I wonder if any of that New Hope asari-human killer flu was in that caught shipment and how much of it is still loose out there.

What tipped you off? The flagrant disregard for collateral damage, the fact that we make a profession out of shooting people or our bottomless want for credits?

Bitch, you're AEGIS. You're not "edgy", you're not "hardcore", and you're definitely not "cool".

Unless you're trying to be "funny" in which case this is just fucking sad.

And when I say sad I mean you're actually making me feel bad. Cause at this point it's like making fun of a fucking cripple.

I saw a few typos you were making with your posturing, so I went ahead and fixed it. Toodles!

It's funny how you put those in quotes. I never said such things, nor did I imply them.

Let me explain how this works, you have to actually make fun of what I say instead of taking someone else's words and sticking them to me.

Oh you bitch, that's just hurtful.

Er, yeah, yeah you kinda did. What with the whole "flagrant disregard for collateral damage, the fact that we make a profession out of shooting people or our bottomless want for credits" bit (see look I'm actually quoting what you said and it's even in context too! Too bad it's still fucking stupid).
