Please visit your user settings to re-enable images.The Malkalen Memorial hosted by the Ishukone-Raata Enforcement Directive, seen a great turn out some 60 who attended the proceedings in person, and some 80 in total who came to pay their respects. This is a release of transcripts pulled from the Malkalen Garushi Lounge. Speakers: John Revenent, Executor of the Ishukone-Raata Enforcement Directive Varlerian Ti'kihli, Executor of Dyishi Enterprises Cheiftan, Vice-Executor of Ishukone-Raata Enforcement Directive Bataav, Intaki Liberation Front Diplomat Saana Nupuunen, CEO Aseyakone Virgil Seiger, Production and R&D Manager Aseyakone Coronodo, Coalition of Free Stars Pilot Jade Constantine, Head of The Star Fraction Schlaba Muhos, Golden Snake Strike Force Commander First Speaker: John Revenent John Revenent > I thank everyone for taking the time to attend this memorial, and offering your respects. John Revenent > I am Taisho-Revenent of the Ishukone-Raata Enforcement Directive. John Revenent > I will start by saying a few words... John Revenent > Three years ago today at this very location a new era was dawning, one that would have changed the cluster we know. John Revenent > This era was to build a solid foundation for the future of the Caldari State, and the Gallente Federation. John Revenent > A foundation built upon peace, and prosperity, not the foundation we have built today one of force and hate. John Revenent > This foundation trembled on the very day of its conception by a man respected not only by the Federation.. but also very close to members of the Caldari State. John Revenent > This was a man, a man known only as Alexander Noir.. John Revenent > consumed by a hatred so strong he took his very own life to inflict a festering wound that will take decades to heal. John Revenent > But John Revenent > With the efforts of some, this wound will heal... how long this will take will be determined by the actions of people like us, and the people who follow true along the path of the late Ishukone Executor. John Revenent > A wise individual once said "The threat of violence cannot bring peace. Only empathy and understanding can bring peace". John Revenent > May we respect the memories of the fallen, and we will never forget what they stood for. Second Speaker: Varlerian Ti'kihli Varlerian Ti'kihli > Salutations fellow gatherers... Varlerian Ti'kihli > My name is Varlerian Ti'kihli Surkousa. I am not a renown, omnipotent being; I am simply a humble capsuleer wishing to pay my respects to those killed on that fateful day three years ago. Varlerian Ti'kihli > On that day hundreds of thousands of lives were taken, including that of Ishukone CEO Otro Gariushi. Gariushi was an unique Caldari patriot in that he envisioned a dream of prosperity and co-existence between the nations of the Caldari and Gallente. Varlerian Ti'kihli > His dream, as well as the dreams of hundreds of thousands, were ended - ended by a madman who could not see beyond a cloud of hatred caused by events which passed long ago...*pauses briefly* Varlerian Ti'kihli > ...who could not put petty feelings of anger aside for the greater benefit of others around him, who did not learn the meaning of the word "tolerance." Varlerian Ti'kihli > But there is still hope. The dreams of Otro Gariushi and the thousands of those killed that day live on...live on through each and every one of the men and women who stand here and watch the passing of this memorial today. Varlerian Ti'kihli > Today, right now, every single one of you - Amarr, Caldari, Minmatar, Gallente - are one; we are one. We gather here under one purpose...to honor and remember those who have were killed on that fateful day three years ago. Varlerian Ti'kihli > And so with that I leave you all with a short saying: "The dreams of those who die are kept alive by those who remember." More Transcripts on page 2... |

Speaker Three: Cheiftan
Cheiftan > I am not a man of words but i will do my best
Cheiftan > here we go...
Cheiftan > Three years ago on this day, an event took place that would shake the foundations of every nation living in our galaxy we call New Eden, a tragic event that would shake the very foundations of our hearts souls and minds for many years to come.
Cheiftan > On this day three years ago Admiral Alexander Noir rammed his vessel, a 1.6 Million Ton Nyx class super carrier into this very station Killing all whom resided within its bowls.
Cheiftan > It was not only Caldari that died that day, but representatives of my own people of the republic, people of the federation and people of the Amarr Empire and many others, now forever more martyrs of peace and war.
Cheiftan > However...I often ask myself, now more than ever...Was it the loss of life we find such a tragedy?
Cheiftan > Or was it mindless slaughter of an ideal, the slaying of a beacon of hope reduced to nothing but fading embers etched into memory and time?
Cheiftan > Ideals of Equality, Freedom, respect now forever fading and dispersing amongst the Star lit warzone we call home.
Cheiftan > But remember aslong as there are people to remember there are people to re kindle these ideals to their former glory, and therefore we must continue to remember for the sakes of our people.
Cheiftan > Their future and their present, for we have the power to be the bastions of hope amongst the stars of despear or the Reapers of pain.
Cheiftan > We are Immortal, they are not and we hold in our hands the fate of billions, will we will be the destroyers? or learn the lessons of old?
Cheiftan > The choice Is ours to make...
Speaker Four: Bataav
Bataav > Namas Tayam
Bataav > Today we pay our respects and remember those lost three years ago today.
Bataav > We consider what could have been, had The Wandering Saint not crashed into this very station, taking with it a great man, Otro Gariushi, an esteemed delegation from the Federation, and the potential of a lasting peace between Federation and State.
Bataav > While the terrible events of that day and the hostilities that followed can and should never be forgotten I believe that memorials and remembrances such as this one can have great influence on our future.
Bataav > Gathered here today are capsuleers aligned or loyal to a wide range of groups and factions, each with our own politics and beliefs.
Bataav > Yet we have set these divisions aside out of respect, out of an understanding that there is something greater than our own ambitions.
Bataav > Taisho Revenant has already quoted the wisdom of Vrejama Idama: "Only empathy and understanding can bring peace."
Bataav > Perhaps we hold the power to realize the dreams of those who died that day. Of all citizens, we capsuleers are the most widely travelled, the most exposed to each others' customs, religions and cultures.
Bataav > We are best armed to empathize with our neighbours and understand their hardships.
Bataav > Let us do our part to build the New Eden the lost souls of Malkalen wanted for everyone. Let us be confident and unafraid to labour on. Not toward a strategy of annihilation, but toward a strategy of peace.

Speaker Five: Saana Nupuunen
Saana Nupuunen > Ladies and gentlemen. Friends and comrades!
Saana Nupuunen > I am Saana Nupuunen. These are my words, but today, but these words are not of the CEO of Aseyakone, but the words of a Caldari.
Saana Nupuunen > It has been three years since the Malkalen Incident. Three years ago, we also saw the rise of the Caldari Providence Directorate. We were reminded again what it is to be Caldari, to work for the State and for the good of us all.
Saana Nupuunen > To reward good achievements and to improve where results were found lacking.
Saana Nupuunen > However, last year - while dominated by the new Kuvakei Crisis - has also seen the stagnation of our own economy. Instead of reforms, we have seen the Directorate launch investigations and tribunals.
Saana Nupuunen > Perhaps certain war-weariness has stepped in after the initial rush, which was supported later by the efforts of the State Protectorate. I will quote the words of Matias Sobaseki, former CEO of Kaalakiota.
Saana Nupuunen > "Slowly but surely we are betraying the legacy left to us, the children of the Raata."
Saana Nupuunen > Unity, perhaps, has never been the strong point of the Caldari - to quote the Proclamation of Secession: "We will not permit you to tell us how to be Caldari." Then, these words were aimed at the Federal Senate.
Saana Nupuunen > Too many times we have heard the same words needlessly aimed at our brothers and sisters. Let us hope that the memory of the incident remind us of working together. As the Caldari State, as the mankind.
Saana Nupuunen > I speak of Caldari - but the same applies to us all
Saana Nupuunen > We compete with each other. But we compete to improve ourselves, not to oppress each other. To improve the situation, we cannot stay in the memories of the past. It is time to get to work again.
Saana Nupuunen > Three years ago, there were many people, of all races, on this station who will not return to work with us towards a common goal. It is the task of us who are here today to work with each others, so we can look at past golden ages and say:
Saana Nupuunen > Haak'han k'len! We all will return.
Saana Nupuunen > My director, Virgil Seiger, wishes to also have a few words
Speaker Six: Virgil Seiger
Virgil Seiger > Thank you Kirjuun.
Virgil Seiger > We all know about Otro Gariushi's vision. A dream of peace and cooperation - a beautiful dream. The current situation shows us that we have to work harder than before to make this dream a reality. We must work together!
Virgil Seiger > Sadly, the recent conflicts between various Caldari corporations makes this task even more difficult to achieve.
Virgil Seiger > It is not the time nor the place to talk about blame, let me just remind everyone about the heroic efforts of Tibus Heth.
Virgil Seiger > During the events at the Armor Forge he's done everything in his power not to shed Caldari blood. If we want peace we should start with fostering it on the Caldari soil first.
Virgil Seiger > Let me cite Otro Gariushi:
Virgil Seiger > "We’ve been reminded of our failure, as a nation, to live up to the expectation of the Caldari ideal. We’ve made mistakes – ones that we can correct – but this is not the way. Our problems come from within.
Virgil Seiger > Not from outside of our borders, and not in the past that we’re ashamed of. "
Virgil Seiger > Let us follow the example of those two great men and walk together towards a better, more peacefull future.
Virgil Seiger > Thank you.

Seventh Speaker: Coronodo
Coronodo > thank you
Coronodo > It Has been a good deal of time since the tragic loss of life that happened at this very site.
Coronodo > We are the fortunate Children of the stars here in new eden, but many do not have the luxury of the jump clones we take for granted,
Coronodo > but we never think of theones who do not have that luxury, We are a privilaged few in a galaxy of billions that look up to the stars and dream of the life we enjoy.
Coronodo > My prayers and condolences go out to these poor souls and their families, but one question here remains, Why when we persue true peace do we have to result to war and violence?
Coronodo > Even now we have forces beyond wormhole space and the evil sansha that are being ever bolder ant taking our loved ones with even more reckless abandon that ever before. And what do we do, hunt each other amongst the stars and waste the greastest privled
Coronodo > it was one said in a quote " The only thing for evil to triumph is for good beings to do nothing". It is sad in this day and age that when evil attacks that some of us join that evil to prey on others.
Coronodo > We need to out aside the pety disputes and help save those that do not have the luxury of Tech two ships and weapons. Thank you for allowing me to be here today and giving me the time to say a few words.

Eighth Speaker: Jade Constantine
Jade Constantine > It can be said that one is insensitive or uncaring to laud the life of one man alone amongst a tragedy that slew six hundred thousand and hurled nations to brutal interstellar war.
Jade Constantine > It can be argued that the act of war and terror here that killed many people of all cultures and creeds is the centrepiece of this memorial and it is disrespectful to speak of one life alone in that shadow.
Jade Constantine > It can be shouted from the pulpit and hammered out on the holo-sheets that tragedy must be answered with more tragedy and beneath the statistics of megadeath and carnage - the life and motivations of one individual mean little.
Jade Constantine > But I do not believe that. And neither I fancy do many of you.
Jade Constantine > We humankind need heroes, we need the dreams and hope and bright examples of heroic action, but the very best kind of heroes are those who are flawed like you and I and everyone else.
Jade Constantine > Otro Gariushi was one of these. His past was not clean, he had a history of criminality and theft and murder and stole state secrets to empower the Gurista pirates in order to gain revenge upon a corrupt Ishukone executive.
Jade Constantine > He made a lie of the premise that one should simply serve and not question. He questioned, he fought back, he overturned the intrigues of the venal-minded and demonstrated that enlightened individualism triumphs over state hierarchy.
Jade Constantine > Gariushi brought prosperity to the Ishukone and made the corporation a paragon of progressive thinking in the state and came close to unseating ingrained interest and cloying parochialism through bright example.
Jade Constantine > But it was in his final acts we see the hero that I laud here today.
Jade Constantine > Some say the Caldari are driven only by profit. Others say that icewater runs in their veins. Still others look to the terrible example of Sansha Kuvakei who took profit and empire building to terrible excess with State finance and Amarrian slaves to fa
Jade Constantine > slaves to fashion a nightmare on the frontier.
Jade Constantine > But I say look to Otro Garushi who saw the longer view. Insorum was the key to release for billions addicted to the filthy vitoc chemical used by Amarrian slavers.
Jade Constantine > Garushi possessed the most precious commodity in the cluster and could demand the ransom of an Empress if he wanted to.
Jade Constantine > But he didn’t want that. He chose instead to see a future where slavery was vanquished as anachronism.
Jade Constantine > Where sentient life was valued universally, where ambition and energy were rewarded by potential and prosperity. A future fit for heroes to live in.
Jade Constantine > So, forgive me if I do not know the names of those 600,000 who died at Malkalen. I mourn them as do you, but I mourn the passing of a hero who saw the future and raised his heart to change it even more.
Jade Constantine > The example here is stark and nobody should forget it.
Jade Constantine > Otro Gariushi was assassinated to maintain the status quo. To ensure the beginning of a pointless war that simply gave the leaders of empires leave to continue in power
Jade Constantine > power while the billions under their sway remained imprisoned in the jails of nationalism and torn asunder in the jaws of territorialist folly.
Jade Constantine > He was assassinated by the very corruption he fought throughout his life and struggles.
Jade Constantine > When we remember this hero let us not forget the actions of those who slew him. Let us not look to the weapon but to the hands that guided it. Let us examine motive. Let us truly see, let us understand and resolve.
Jade Constantine > And let us rise to the revolutionary example of Gariushi and break this rotten galaxy asunder. The corrupt are still in power. We should not suffer that injustice.

Jade Constantine Finishing Statements:
Jade Constantine > I say light the fires of liberation and make Malkalen the pyre for any who would keep humankind in chains denied of our birthright and our destiny to walk these distant stars and dance in the light of Pleides in the centuries to come.
Jade Constantine > Rise up.
Jade Constantine > Resist.
Ninth Speaker: Schlaba Muhos
Schlaba Muhos > Respected fellow mourners, my name is Schlaba Muhos, I am the Commander-CEO of the Golden Snake Strike Force.
Schlaba Muhos > Thank you
Schlaba Muhos > My cousin Ko-Schlii Muhos, a brave warrior and a loyal relative, lost his life in the Malkalen incident. I have spent years thinking what is the cause of madness in this world?
Schlaba Muhos > The history is full of legends of how nations have risen to glory. There are equally many stories of how peoples have fallen to oblivion. All this turbulence falls under a single maxim.
Schlaba Muhos > When people obey the chain of command, wealth and wisdom follows. When people are disobedient, calamity and disaster prevail.
Schlaba Muhos > We all have superiors and inferiors, we all have to listen and give orders. If an officer does not obey the orders, he doesn't deserve his rank.
Schlaba Muhos > In my heart, I have a deep sorrow. In Malkalen, three years ago, an officer disobeyed his orders. He used the opportunity to advance his own purposes. The price was paid by innocent people.
Schlaba Muhos > I cannot accept the dishonour that was caused by the lowly traitor behind the incident.
Schlaba Muhos > They say that to be wronged is nothing unless you continue to remember it. Therefore I will continue to remember this incident, as long as my heart is beating.
Schlaba Muhos > Regardless of affiliations, I want to offer my condolences to the friends and relatives of all those who were betrayed.
Schlaba Muhos > You are not alone in resentment and anger.
We send thanks to everyone for showing respect during the Memorial regardless of political ties or beliefs, we hope that with this the cluster will learn from the mistakes of the past..
Fair Profits New Eden.

I said earlier that I was the one who had that monument installed in the memorial hall. A slab of amour from the Wandering Saint inscribed with the names of every single person who died on that station and in the fight caused by the suicide attack.
How many of you have actually looked at those names? I've memorised them. Look between "Noios, Lt. Jiral." and "Nokas, Lizebet." There, you will find the name "Noir. Admrl A."
That section, incidentally, is defaced on a daily basis. But there's a reason I decided to have the murderer's name included alongside his victims, and it's for the same reason that "Gariushi, Otro." is nestled anonymously in between "Gariat, Yakiya." and "Girven, Talik"
The memorial isn't there to remember the EVENT. It's not there to remember the politics, or to inspire people to "carry the torch of peace and liberation" or whatever.
It's there to remember the dead. All of them. Nothing more, nothing less. any message you take from the memorial is something you took with you TO the memorial. That's why I boycotted it this year. Whether or not I agree with the messages in these speeches, they still stem from a misapplication of the spirit in which I erected that monument.
By all means, take whatever message of inspiration you desire from this anniversary. But don't forget that your inspiration is the blood of thousands, and that in mourning a vision, you're forgetting to mourn the people.

With Respect
I think you mistaken, people die on a daily basis in New Eden, the losers names removed from time and memory by the victor, if we where truely mourning the dead we would be forever mourning the loss of life in the violent world we live in.
Its no good just remembering the dead, it is remembering what they stood for and respecting their will for it to be done.
This memorial isnt just about Noir or Garushi it is about respecting what they stood for and what they died for, we spend to much time arguing over who is wrong or who is right to face the fact that this lead to the proxy wars where millions of lives are lost yearly.
So Sorry if you do not agree with my message, however we should learn from their intentions or let those 600'000 civilians die in vein.
In my eyes i mourn the loss of all life but i will not let the ideals that lead to their deaths fade. |

And that's your prerogative, but the point of the day itself should be mourning. There are three hundred and sixty-four other days in the year to fly your colours. I don't like seeing tributes to the fallen crushed under a mountain of soapboxes. |

Interesting. How many colorful different political opinions trying to grab and interpret a piece of what the dead stood for, to enforce their own political agendas.
I was eager to come, but now that I did not, I am not sure I really missed something except the usual political blabbering. |

In truth I don't believe the dead miss those who wish only to beat their chests and produce mock tears of sympathy and groaning.
But the memory of the dead has meaning only if we learn from their loss and are inspired to change the world for the better.
Anyone claiming the death of 600,000 to begin a sequence of statist wars designed to enshrine the status quo beyond question is not political is a very great fool indeed.
And such fools were not missed in Malkalen.

Pure demagogy. As usual. Political discussions have to be done. Debates have to be voiced. But attributing one's own personnal political views to the dead, or telling that is what they stood for, is a dramatic flaw of logic. Nothing more is needed. |

I would like to suggest a flaw in the assumption that personal politics play a negative role in this Memorial. Politics by definition is a process by which groups of people make collective decisions. In the case of this Memorial, we are collectively mourning, reflecting on the past, and sharing how the memory of this incident continues to shape our individual and corporate motives for the future. Those who wish to mourn or reflect privately are free to do so. The intent of a public Memorial is to allow individuals and groups to share the significance they attach to the event. Views will vary as widely as those presenting them. The speakers from the Memorial were invited to each share a particular view of their choosing. No judgement was pronounced on any of their words. Each is an offering to the attendees and observers. The thoughts that resonated with my sensibilities were those that considered the resolve of the Caldari people, and our fierce determination to not allow tragedy to put us off the worthwhile path. Thank you to all who contributed to the Memorial. |

Apparently not. At least Stitcher haan and Lanate haan may have the same views. And probably a lot more people, minority or not. It is pointless to throw out hazardous conjectures as facts. |

We have provided the memorial for every person who can not mourn on their own!
We strived to stop people from forgetting the past even more with the current bloodshed.
We strived to allow people to learn their lessons from the past.
We strived to allow those that remain to voice their belief of how we should from this event look into the future, and to offer those left behind a beacon that they are not standing alone with their memories.
Those that wanted to hold their own Memorial where open to do so , we had offered everyone their chance to offer their condolences to the families left behind, and those people that you see having spoken where those that requested the chance.
Knowing the past and remembering is best way to learn and not repeat the same mistakes , with this you can view into the future but allowing people to speak their view of how we should learn without barging in a door is what we strived for and I believe we have achieved it.
You may ride upon your wall of the fallen like a chariot , for I do not believe you have learned the lesson from such a tragic event and are doomed to see it repeated shall you continue in such a blind fashion for you Slitcher you simply see a wall of names not a memory but cold Names etched into metal without giving meaning to them! |

Our journey to Malkalen was almost thwarted as an Amarrian blockade attempted to trap us inside Vard. Having broken this with sheer force of numbers, an armed fleet set out to complete a campaign to escort my Republic Fleet Tempest, the RFS Defiant, to Malkalen in safety.
Reports came in that an Amarrian fleet had then set up in Mehatoor to put a stop to our movements. By this time, we were already through to Amarr where little resistance met us other than the Imperial Navy.
With a twenty four strong T.R.I.A.D fleet arriving in Viesto under barrage now from the Caldari Navy, i set out the two remaining jumps alone into Malkalen while our fleet guarded Amarrian entry through Viesto.
Our visit brief, respects were paid to those who lost their lives and a Khumaak was laid within the Ishukone station where it shall forever remain.
As promised, no violence came to those paying respects in Malkalen.
A corporation flyby was made in Malkalen to show repects to those who lost their lives - much to the anger of the Navy fleet. Setting out the 20 jumps back, we made it home to Republic space with little incident.
T.R.I.A.D wish to thank all those involved in this memorial service and those within the Caldari militia who staid their guns throughout. If only such peaceful times could one day exist between the Gallente and Caldari nations.

Mr. Revenent has brought hypocrisy to an entirely new level.
"The threat of violence cannot bring peace. Only empathy and understanding can bring peace"
Which is why you declared war on those who fight for the State due to this tragedy?
Clearly Mr. Revenent's speech was kept short to mask his casuistry. |

You know... a year on, and what Star Fraction did at the YC.112 vigil still makes me want to break their faces then set fire to what's left.
That threadnought is precisely the reason why I bemoan the presence of any politics at these events - and as you can see, I've been lobbying to keep the vigils apolitical from the very start. Given that last year it resulted in a firefight and deaths, I think my point has been adequately made.
I think the point has also adequately been made that I'm naive to think that there's any hope for these events to be free from the taint of people using them to increase the media profile for their own agenda. Hence my boycott this year. |

Want but not Do. It must be very frustrating being you. |

I practise a little-known discipline called restraint. I appreciate you've probably never heard of it before, but where I'm from it's considered something of a virtue, being an indicator of moral, emotional and intellectual maturity.
My Father taught it to me. He told me two things in fact: 1) that violence does not solve all problems, and 2) that you don't hit girls. My father is a wise man, and it's amazing how often the patient aphorisms of a parent disciplining a boy who got into fights at school have turned out to be just as appropriate to capsuleer society.

Whereas my education taught me the virtues of standing up and doing the things I believe in. There is no point sitting and sniping on the sidelines like an impotent gum-mashing fool. If you take issue with our actions you know where to find us. The reality is our principles were fully demonstrated in space, despite your wishes, because we simply believed you were completely wrong and your maudlin sentimentality turned to virtual collaboration complicit with imperialist Amarrian tendencies trying to use the memorial as propaganda tool for the Empire. We took action to prevent this when you would have preferred everyone to hug and weep and tell tales about the evil Admiral Noir while ignoring the slaver hound in the room growling at the gathered schoolgroup. End of the day Stitcher you are yesterday's man at best. Capable only of forum noise. Go home and weep into your cornflakes and lament the past. |
