Re: For your Eyes Only
SECRET DOCUMENT
First, congratulations on your election. Or perhaps coup to seize power. I sincerely hope the transition happened well and, in the end, is satisfactory to the Coalition and the Itani population across the galaxy. Regardless of the reasons and the means of the power transfer.
What is contained in this document are descriptions of long-term goals I have set for the Coalition Of Itan. It's content is very sensitive and may not please part of the electorate. But before you consider any action based on the following, I urge you to look at the grand scheme of things. These goals are privy to the Commander. ITAN members do not know about this. They are kept in the dark for the good of Itanis.
For long now, the Serco population has harassed Human kind. Akan might not have had the right technique or discourse, but history shows his "preventive" attacks at least pushed Sercos back and and delayed any further attacks by a few years.
Now that conflict is inevitable, we need to seize the moment and act in ways, perhaps unorthodox, to fuel the war in order to sway, in our favor, those Itanis who still resist the war.
This brings a few interesting and very important points.
First, capturing the infamous so-called Doctor, Lecter himself, was an unimaginable surprise when it happened and we were sure to execute him no matter what.
But then... something occurred to me. If we indefinitely imprison Lecter, or better yet kill him, we may loose some more support for the war efforts. If one of the most dangerous Sercos around is captured, then it theoretically means Itanis are safer than ever. For the long term viability of the Itani nation, however, we can not in any way loose that support and we need to make sure the implied threat to Itanis is strong enough for the war efforts to be sustained. As the Itani population is already larger than the Sercos, this can only mean inevitable total indexation of the Sercos in the years to come. IF the war efforts are supported by the majority of the Itanis.
Therefore, as Commander, I have personally made sure that Lecter remains alive. Better yet... we need Lecter on the loose.
Of course the trial was a sham. It was meant to demonstrate that as Itanis, we care for a lawful universe and thus find a reason not to kill Lecter. It was also a means to justify not killing him outright from his cell block the moment he entered. The judges panel was arranged. Only 4 people were on the panel. Myself, Smittens, Miharu and Dragon Of Fire. DoF never returned his verdicts, of course, so I had a copy of his own.
Smittens might have smelt the shoddy voting scheme and resigned from the panel before submitting his verdicts. Not that they would have counted much.
So down to 5 "judges", I was handling four verdicts and Miharu only one. I simply used her because knowing she's a blabermouth to her minions, we'd have rumours that "real" people were on the panel sometime in the futur.
So, with a non-fatal sentence assured, I had secured Lecter's life. And by hiring shoddy security guards, I knew he would escape somehow.
Lecter might have caught on to some imaginary trap and actually returned in his cell. Perhaps he feared reprisal from SCAR because all the bad publicity this thing generated around them.
So the prisoner transfer was arranged and made "easy" for Lecter to change hands.
The blame would fall on the shoddy guards we had hired to guard him. One even blipped an organ scanner. He was Serco for sure. I then tweaked the station scanners to avoid Serco detection and give them safe passage. Little did they know. Now I was certain his rescue would be possible.
Yes. we could loose a few heads in the operation. But a threatening Lecter is crucial for the long-term victory of the Itanis. Lecter even ignored a cell key that was slipped in one of his Lamb meal. Although he was supposed to be on a strict vegan diet. LeberMacs would have never guessed he was handing out the cell key.
Because I may not survive this prisoner transfer operation myself, I have made this file automatically-transfered to any new ITAN commander.
Long live the Coalition of Itan. Long live it's new Commander.

Mogul Velaio
In memorandum of Akan.
As acting representative of the Serco Dominion's SkyCommand Assault Regiment in all cases pertaining to the Lecter case, I hereby assure all those involved that [Itan] shall not escape this treachery with impunity. The traitor Mogul Velaio died in my sights today, and he is but the first of many to reap the consequences of this new regime.
The Coalition of Itan, and all those who sought this outcome are fool to believe that the Dominion can be undone, or that any direct assault on our military can succeed. For that fact, their efforts are in vain, and they shall die failures, their deaths brought swiftly by the warriors of SCAR and the rest of the Serco Dominion.
SCAR hereby declares war on the remaining forces of the Coalition of Itan.
All Hail Lady Serco!

Mmm... there's going to be many an Itani upon which to feast.
And who knows... maybe I can find a decent marinade for Serco.

Cunjo, is that really the biggest emblem you had? ;-)
I was just made aware of the mess that took place this evening. ITAN had no knowledge of our former commander’s, Mogul Velaio’s, actions.
We are currently looking into this fiasco and will make sure we get to the bottom of this soon. I urge Cunjo and SCAR to allow us to proceed with our investigation before anything is done in retribution.
We had a quick vote earlier tonight and I will fill in as temporary commander until Yasumoto or another member can be appointed as commander.
I and all of ITAN have and will always stand on the principle of defending the Itani people and our space.

Jekyll get back ingame.
Cunjo, pretty logos do not a fearsome guild make. I personally have no fear of any limp-wristed reprisals that [SCAR] may come up with.
Anyway I don't know what you're all mad about.
Mogul played me like a fool and that will not be forgotten. Purposely sending me, Miharu, and Xeelee far far away from the action where we could not be of use, he started the event knowing full well that he'd already betrayed us. Neither Miharu nor I had Dr. Lecter's widget.
My false lead I fed to Cunjo before the event actually helped them, which was kind of funny. (Sorry M'at, I told SCAR you had Lecter. Hope you didn't die a lot...) If my false information caused chaos and uncertainty within the Serco task force, then excellent. Mission accomplished.
What's more funny was that I was busy telling Mogul that he should have entrusted me with the real mission, going on and on about trust.
Well, I was a fool to trust you, Mogul. Pray that your sorry ass never enters my crosshairs.

I told you, you needed to take command of the guild when you had the chance. See what happens when you shirk your duty.
We have asked sarahanne to demote Mogul Velaio until we can get to the bottom of this. We will vote in a new commander soon.
I ask that both sides have patience and stay calm so we can get through this in a civilized matter.

I dunno what yer so worried about, JB.
As soon as it is expedient, Mogul will be expelled from [Itan] after a vote of no-confidence and... "the council will elect a new leader... a strong leader.. who is not mired by baseless accusations of corruption."
/me starts Imperial March tune

Lecter is loose!?! And it was planned?!? What perfect timing!
Doc, it sounds like you now have plenty of good eating in your future. One of my financial ventures has just recently reached completion...a totally new concept in food storage. No freezing, chemical additives, homogenizing or packaging required...what you remove from our state-of-the-art storage facility retains all the aroma, succulent flavor and temperature as the first moment you stored it. Be sure to ask for a demonstration of our computerized holographic labeling system...you'll always be able to find that particular morsel you have a craving for quickly and easily.
I'd like to offer you one of our commercial-sized units free of charge.....with no hidden strings attached. (And if by chance, you find us useful, I'd appreciate your consent to use your name in future advertising.)

Beamrider neeeds an advertising poster! Beamrider, YOU should contact me soon to discuss!
I think the leadership of the Coalition of Itan should be elected by the Itani nation as a whole this time round.
Leebs for Commander! *raises a sign that reads: "A bottle of tequila in every fridge and a piece of Lecter in every pot -- Vote LeberMac for [Itan] Commander in 4434!"*

Hrm. I really, really, really do not want to be Commander.
Here, have some pocky.
Now go away.

Well it seems we have to write these down. Most of us already know and live by these "unwritten rules" but I'm going to write them down as a friendly reminder to us all.
Common Sense Dictates:
Do not ever insult, dis, make fun or be rude to any other [ITAN] member. Less so on public channels.
Do not ever leave [ITAN] thinking a previous invite means an open door. If you leave, you better have thought it out first because a second invite might be long or hard to come by.
.

.
The Commander, LT and the Council have the responsibility to make sure [ITAN] follows it's course.
*****************************************
Words to live by, eh, Mogul? I'm feeling kinda dissed. Oh - And how's our course? Still headed towards the cliff? Excellent. Good thing you bailed on us before we went over the edge, hunh?

JestatisBess, if what you say is true, then the regiment may suspend its decleration of war, however understand that in the meantime, any member of ITAN caught armed and failing to comply with us in our areas of operation will be killed with extreme prejudice, and you would be advised to clean up this mess and get things in order very quickly, as SCAR has little patience for games.

maybe that should be a hint that you need to make a smaller variation without the text for message board tags.
Again Cunjo I ask that you and your guild refrane from any action that might the situation worse.
We are current looking into this matter and will hopefully have finding within 24 to 48 hours. I am treating this as an internal [ITAN] and Itani matter and we come to a conclusion soon.
