I was out of it for quite a while there, I was on a bender after using up all the Pherona rotten fruit after it went through mah still, I ran into Chief Blacksun while I was still out there, he helped me run out. I came back to find my accounts drained by station storage and the Verse being run by 'foreigners' I had to make some fast cash, I met Pandorum and even though he was a rat I knew we had something in common. he remembered my building skill and contracted me. everyone sayin' to me I thought ITAN was dead? got me riled up. I talked to the commander who was busy gardening or on some kinda hydroponics thing and talked him into giving my my commission back, so I started with Harpo to "Make ITAN Great again. Chief came along and others to like Remen and you know the rest, then this NAP idea started, I was used to compromise to get things don But Lt. Goji came back and reminded us who we were, and ITAN being great again by majority moved against the NAP. unfortunately Chief was already absorbed by the compromises and saw ITAN's turnin' on the NAP as turnin on him, and he wasn't quite wrong. Mah fault, as a result several quit the guild, But some times the tree does better with less branches, that's just how it is. Then my crazy cousin Zyko quit somethin' about peace, bah. there can't be any peace as long as the Dominion is around. nothin' personal against the toasters it's just their government. Peace is here Zyko and it must be enforced. Wish it played out different for us Chief.

Paragraphs smurf licker! Nevah heard of 'em?
:p

Itan was never great, your facade of itani nationalism is over. I have documents that show the highest levels of Itan leadership working hand in hand with Serco Positive Standing pilots(Such as myself) when it is convenient.

Raising your hand against the universe in reactionary defense of the little power you have left was the greatest mistake you will ever make. The days of a select few at the top benefiting from the efforts of many is over, no longer shall Itan enrich itself in such a fashion.

The reason so many branches are falling off your tree, is because it is rotten inside, infected by the extremism and barbarism practiced by pilots like Goji, who do not care if his own guild mates suffer to "get back" at pilots trying to progress the culture and society of the verse. You have made a grave tactical error.

I can stomach a long, drawn out, violent war, and all that entails it. Itan has made their bed, now sleep in it.

You will continue to be attacked, your communications spied on, your manufacturing obstructed, your blockades removed, and so forth until you are ready to leave your dark age and join the rest of us in the new era.
