Is it not out of the realm of possibilities that yes they effected their own and all others simply to cover their tracks, hitting their primary target but still making it look like an accident or something else? I'd be quicker to buy into this argument if the Caldari site weren't both the largest and most dangerous of the four. It's a planetary city. A whole world's at immediate risk, protected only, as far as we know, by an active defensive layer (the nano-shield, whatever that is).
At this point, a power outage could render the whole planet a graveyard nobody can ever visit.
The Templis Dragonaurs are really ruthless people, but for them to cause Caldari deaths on that scale would signal an obscene level of having screwed up, (and that's possible, mind,) Caldari lives being the ones they actually do care about. |

Aldrith Shutaq wrote:And why would they want to cover their tracks?
Uh-- without otherwise disagreeing, my lord, because there are acts no sane person wants to take credit for.
Terrorism generally is about propaganda-- increasing awareness of an issue by spreading fear. It calls for dramatic acts that usually cause more noise than damage.
This wouldn't be very useful for that. If a full breakout spreads, whoever's responsible will basically have slaughtered the world. Nobody wants that laid at their door when any survivors start looking for whom to avenge everyone they ever knew on.
Terrorism is a bomb and gunfire in a crowded festival ground at noon, with declarations and chants.
If it reaches its potential, this is the anonymous murder of everybody under cover of night. |

Excuse me. The Gallente had nothing to do with that. That is an 100% Amarr injustice.
Human mortality, on the other hand, is something the Federation obviously inflicted on us all. The Caldari ancestors, back to K'vire and Deteaas, would be with us still were it not for Gallentean meddling.
It's a method of political gerrymandering and social engineering: internally, you shift the majority of potential voters into an afterlife so you don't have to worry about them tipping the vote to your opponents. Externally, you get rid of the older generations so that society is run by comparatively young and inexperienced persons more receptive to your ideas. |

But the Intaki are under political pressure to stop these practices, are they not? Supposedly it's seen by many in the Federation as infanticide?
See? It all fits! If you're more than a thousand years old, they want you dead!
Mortality: totally a Federal plot. |

And oh, over time, it'll be a better market for Mr. Foiritain's product, too. Think of all these new customers without the benefit of those scrupulous education programs!
It seems like we might have a little reason to prefer technicians and so on trained in scrupulous education programs.. |
