Omegan Medical Service Ends Gang War, Kills (Almost) Everyone

I'm not barefacing my way out of anything.


Grand.

No you haven't.

Fan-fucking-tastic for you, by the way.


Xemnashit.


What excuses have I made? We knew what we were doing, we knew who was in there, and we defended ourselves and carried out our fucking agreement to the letter.

There is no downside, here.


I am not a fucking hazard spiritsdammit


last I checked I haven't fucking lied


And you and your grammar is shit.

Also no u


False.

I already had one. I got fucked for it.


You're right, I'm sorry for that one-


You had to use that precise term didn't you.

No. I am most certainly not ok with that. That's also over an' done with. Happened before I even joined, and we've performed no slaver-related jobs in my tenure with AEGIS so far. I had hashed it out with Gorik a couple times before he left about their past affiliations.

Don't excuse it one bit, but my conscience is clean s'far as the AEGIS from when I joined forward is concerned. Same name, different style of leadership and organization. The others who've been here longer than me have their own ghosts.

But yer deflectin'.



I know yer mad about the discharge. Whether ya admit it anymore or buried it a long time ago is on yer shoulders not mine.

Gettin' your operation runnin' ain't the issue. You were discharged because they felt that you were too shaken from the war to function without being a danger t' yerself an' everyone around ya. Go figure. Yer provin' them right by being completely unable to exercise any operation discipline.

All I'm sayin' is yer better than that. Just be better than that.

Now this is an interesting debate and all, but I have an image that may or may not amuse you~

Well, apparently I'm such a bad guy that I'm beyond that

I-


oh fuck right the hell off you piece of shit

Hah, the ad server got hacked!

Welcome to the wonderful world of reading comprehension!

Wait what no-one ever told me he got discharged

this changes everything

The discharge.

The discharge.

The discharge.

Nice recursive loop you've got there.

You broke the wizard. Shame on you!

Sure

totally changes everything

And so officially returns the valiant crusader, charging in on the most high of horses to avenge all moral disparities with the sword of guilt and shield of pride.

Oh how I've missed you.

You're on Omega. As far as comments one might hear go that one is positively tame.

I'm sure.

tl;dr for all fucktards all up in here

We did our job. End of story.

We got our clients out of the line of fire and patched them up. Exactly what we're supposed to do. The collateral damage here was a means to an end.

The end.

No other factor is relevant. We went in, accomplished our sole explicit goal, and just happened to clean up the streets a little in the process by wiping out two gangs. The big thing here that you guys seem to be basing your arguments on is moral outrage founded on the half-baked assumption that anyone who didn't have it coming got hurt, to which I say 'no sirs and madams, fuck you.'

Done.

Shove it up yer ass, suit.

What's wrong with expectin' folks to, I don't know, not blow up non combatants (even possible noncombatants) while on a rescue mission? Or not cause large amounts 'a property damage on a station that's slowly tryin' t' make itself a little better?

Except I haven't been you fucking lul. Because honestly you did about the half way shittiest job of handling any situation like that at all. Blowing the shit out of everything if you are in a low operational capacity, which is what you sound like ye are, is pretty much up there with shitting on Aria's desk.

Sure, you can pull this shit on the little players but eventually your going to hit someone hard enough to make someone bigger and meaner than you mad. Or make them push any clientele away from you. It's a vicious cycle that carries things on. Think of it like COIN, though I know that Turian policy on that is specifically blow things the fook up. But in the Alliance we recognize that pissing people off usually works against progress. It usually makes people either A: More pissed off or B: Less likely to help you. You can't just stomp on people's asses.

'course CSAR is different, but those guys were always so quick and clean that they never really needed to bring out the big guns. Dunno, probably difference in policy. Not exactly my specialty.

Because honestly our gig was shoot the hell out of everything if shit went down. So I can't really be too hard on ya, just thinkin' more in the long term.

What were ya using, Mantis Gunships? Or that Turian one I forget the name of?

I said worst case scenario. Believe it or not, even Omegans won't usually shoot at the neutral non-combatant who knows how to save their lives and isn't shooting at them, and are obviously much better at distinguishing acceptable targets from unacceptable ones than your men. It's perfectly possible to get in, stabilise someone, and evac them without having to level the place. I should know. I do it every-fucking-day, all without killing anyone.

One where lives actually have value? One where killing God knows how many people to save one is seen as a bad fucking thing?!

I repeat - you callous son-of-a-bitch. I wonder if you'd feel the same way if it had been your friends stuck in those buildings. Or your family. Or you, if friends and family mean nothing to you too. Just because you didn't know those people didn't mean they weren't people, you know.

The OHO is struggling now, yes. Because we literally just set up camp a few months ago. Maybe we need donations now, but we're establishing trade links and making deals specifically so we won't have to in a few years. And yes, we are better medics. Every single one of us. Because unlike you, we have never prioritised one life over another simply because they paid us and the other guy didn't. Forgive me if I sound arrogant, but I think I have a right to the moral high ground here, no?

Thank you. Please don't think all Omega medics are like this - it's pretty much just this dickhole.

Really not helping dispel the whole 'soulless robot' stereotype there, geth. Would you really snuff out a good number of geth consciences to save one because that one paid you? I'd like to think you wouldn't, but what do I know?

And here I was, starting to like you. We might look like it now, but we are not a half-assed start-up. The OHO is a force for change that would never have been possible on the old Omega, but is definitely possible now.

I will concede that we aren't competitors with FEMES, but that's only because we aren't in the business of saving people for money. We're in the business of saving people because it's the right thing to do.

I am not scary. I'm just willing to make a moral stand, and if that means laying into a few jackasss who think they can disgrace the good name of my profession then I fucking will.

No. They do not. We can't be everywhere at once. We can't save everyone. Not yet. But we don't discriminate when it comes to who we save based on how much they pay us, and we damn well don't kill people to speed along saving those we've deemed more worthy. Hell, if I found you bleeding out in a back alley, I'd still save you if I could, even though you're a worthless waste of skin who doesn't deserve the slightest bit of compassion.

Again, that's case for some facilities and at this moment in time. Things are already getting better - if things continue at this rate, we'll be able to to force bastards like you out of business in no time. And the station will be a better place for it.

Not funny. Not even a little bit.

You. I like you. But you're being too nice to this shithead. He can be mad at his apparent discharge all he likes, but that gives him no fucking right to pull shit like this. Considering he levelled two buildings to save two people, I'm guessing there's a reason the Hierarchy discharged him.

So I'm a white knight now, huh? Fine by me. I'd rather be a white knight than a fucking murderer. You can hide behind 'logic' and 'efficiency' and 'oh, they were probably gangers anyway' all you like, but it doesn't change what you are.

Fiat currency [ie the galactic credit] has no inherent value to the Consensus with the exception of the numerical. The Consensus is self sufficient.

Geth are functionally equal. Specific programs retain the potentiality for adaptation and proficiency at specific task subsets however there currently exists no social strata/dominant subset propagated infringement of subordinate subset inherent rights. The Consensus is egalitarian.

Parsing.

In a scenario with the following givens: geth program is in possession of data critical to long term interests of Consensus; geth program is unable to upload data/self to carrier; this program is unable to procure infrastructure to enable hypothetical program to upload data/self to carrier; scenario is zero-sum [ie. preserving unspecified number of geth programs will directly result in the loss of the data and geth program retaining said data/preserving geth program plus data will directly result in the loss of an unspecified number of geth programs].

Conclusion: cost/benefit oriented Consensus re: data/geth program priority and potential/probable consequences of loss versus potential/probable consequences following loss of experience perpetuated by destruction of subset group of programs.

And you've done extremely well thus far and I expect even better results in the future. My point was to illustrate the desperation he was showing to compare hims own organization to yours. My point was the same as yours, though I admit I may have let my temper run away from me.


I must admit, I find that personally disappointing. I'd come to admire you quite a bit for the initiative your people have shown.

Right. Your profession. Clearly you have what it takes to be a doctor on the single biggest shithole station in the galaxy besides Cartagena. Protip, it looks like you're a pretty one by human standards, so I need to suggest you go audition at Afterlife. I hear they're hiring new strippers. You'd be better at that.
