FJRK: Response to the Omni-Tek Lies!

Response to the Omni-Tek Lies!

FJRK - Once again, Miss Moran or rather, Miss Moron, is spreading lies about the clans, claming that we are driven by greed, but we are nothing like the "ohh-so-nice" Omni-Tek sheep she is working for.

It is true that there may be some factions that are aiming for profit, like the Vanguards under Alan Jacobi, while others simply blow stuff up, like Simon Silverstone. While I do not agree with either of these two men, and the methods they use, I have mentioned these two factions, because they are the direct opposite of each other, and it is a choice they have made, and that is what it means to be part of the clans.

The freedom to choose what your life is going to be, and what path you walk. The council of truth, both past and present, have no desire or plans about removing this freedom from any clan member.

As for the events all those years ago, is it true that the accidents in the mines did not cause any loss of life, but that is also the only thing that is true in her report. The equipment used, had not been upgraded since Omni-Tek planted their ugly flag on this world, and the salaries could barely feed a small family. Work shifts were often fifteen hours a day, leaving only eleven hours left for family and sleep, before you had to go trough it all again.

What Miss Moron forgets to mention is that Rubi-Ka has a day span of twenty-seven hours, and those hours are much longer then those of other worlds like Earth, which is still used as standard across the galaxy. If she withheld that little fact on purpose, or if she is just a plain idiot, I can’t know for sure. But I can tell you that I am fed up with her lies. I seriously wish that someone could knock her of that pedestal she has placed herself on, then maybe......just maybe, she would check all the facts, instead of twisting everything she finds into something bad.

As for her dream, that Mr. Zorroa, or whatever he is named, will cleanse this planet of us, I can only say one thing, that I am sure that everyone amongst the clans agree with me on.

The Voice of Freedom can not and will not be silenced!

Long Live the Clans!

[Trgeorge]

Crist, and I thought it couldn't get any worse.....

[Amosco]

You Clams like to say how Omni-Tek brainwashes its employees that you can only be a free thinker if you join the Clans. Well, the recent editorial by Ms. Moran is proof that we Omnis have freedom of thought. Ms. Moran was expressing her "opinions" as is normal in an editorial. While some in the company may share her thoughts, not all of us do. Don't consider that one or two editorial remarks are an excuse to escalate violence.

She speaks for herself (and those few who share her beliefs), but not all of the company.

[Neista]

Is it me or have certain elements on both sides colluded to up the ante in the conflict? First miss Moran's appaling editorial now this populist crap instead of a reasoned response?

As an open-minded employee of omni-tek i always take care to read reports from all sides of the conflict, but this leaves me rather shocked and wishing for the days of intelligent reporters like the late, lamented (and not just by the clans) Kemalyn Jarkos.

Please, give an intelligent rebuttal to the kind of rubbish that Moran posted or just ignore it, but dont fan the flames...

And dont for one second imagine every employee of omni-tek shares miss Moran's misguided views

[Naefen]

There are people on all sides who would benefit from heating the conflict...

[jokzer]

There are people on all sides who would benefit from heating the conflict...

True, unfortunately.
And there are also people on all sides that will say things without realizing that they're contributing to perpetuating this war, for whatever reason.
For all our progress and our brain implants and such, we still haven't ensured that people think (twice) before they speak (once)..

[keyya]

I don't think either one of these two editorials are doing any good to anyone except for the two people who wrote it.
The one has anger for Clans and the other for Omni-Tek.
I'm fine with that since everyones got their problems, and everyone thinks of it this way or the other and that should be respected.

However if you do, don't break them up to us. We already know what we want and what the history is.

Propaganda is not good on any side.

Be a reporter...write about events that occur, dont unleash your hate in the news, if you want you can come side by side with me and unleash it in the battlefield.

in responce to omni lies you start w/ "it is true"...

so profit or excessive force...is the what it means tobe a clanner?.....what happened to the freedom and unity you sold people on?

As for the events all those years ago, is it true that the accidents in the mines did not cause any loss of life, but that is also the only thing that is true in her report. The equipment used, had not been upgraded since Omni-Tek planted their ugly flag on this world, and the salaries could barely feed a small family.

The equipment was top of the line for it's time and shiped to one of the most remote system's in known space...concidering how omni builds stuff for long term operations that equipment would have had a life cycle far beyond what the clanners are implying.

What Miss Moron forgets to mention is that Rubi-Ka has a day span of twenty-six hours, and those hours are much longer then those of other worlds like Earth, which is still used as standard across the galaxy. If she withheld that little fact on purpose, or if she is just a plain idiot, I can’t know for sure. But I can tell you that I am fed up with her lies. I seriously wish that someone could knock her of that pedestal she has placed herself on, then maybe......just maybe, she would check all the facts, instead of twisting everything she finds into something bad.

we also only have a timed lease to get as much out of the planet as possable.
if if we cut production by 40% over 100's of years...I think you clanners can even add up the profit loss.....omni-med has been more then accomadating the labour force w/ the increaced workload(i'm omni and have no problem pulling my share of the workload) and even bio engennered new beed's of homo-solitus and offer dna enhanchment to any solitus intrested in it so there would be worker's capable of doing this task asked of them..they also harnessed nano bots to increace the stregth's of the workers when they had problems....incase you haven't noticed the clan have increased mineing beyond what omni-tek does today...so who is really pushing the worker's beyond there means?

[Dabblez]

I think what we have here, between this and the OTPC article is a little foretaste of the future.

The side that wins the war will have the honour of rewriting history for the generations to come.

Total and utter BS...

I have a quote for each of you..


Cry ''havoc!'' and let loose the dogs of war, that this foul deed shall smell above the earth with carrion men, groaning for burial.

I think the quote is "let slip the dogs of war". Well, that's the Clan educational system for you. :-P

Actually, Savoy, It is "let loose".

As for the words of this press release, well Malogar is also wrong in some of his words, as follows:

As for the events all those years ago, is it true that the accidents in the mines did not cause any loss of life, but that is also the only thing that is true in her report.

Which is not true, there were many lost lives in those mines.

29112 - ICC receives the first serious complaints regarding Omni-Tek workers' conditions on Rubi-Ka. The mortality rate of the miners is alarmingly high, as are reports of brutality by security forces. Meanwhile, the salaries of OT workers are starting a downwards slide, caused - officials say - by a decline in the galactic economy and the demand for notum.

November 02 29129 - A notum mine near Omni-2 collapses, trapping three hundred automatons, eighty-five bio-engineered non-sentient creatures, and seventy-two Atrox workers. Omni-Tek refuses to launch a rescue-operation, claiming time and cost concerns, and a limited chance of success.

29137 - Deadly accidents in the notum-mines increase at a rate of ten percent per year.

July 31 29199 - After a series of terrible accidents, the Guild announces a general strike, demanding new equipment, reduced shifts, and higher salaries. Omni-Tek declares the strike illegal, and sends in heavily armed troops to ensure the continued operation of the mines.

I think both sides here need to check their facts when posting anything publically, since both sides were factually incorrect. Your oppinion should be based on facts, not pulled completely out of your anus.

I suggest both the FJRK and OTPC remove their heads from their rear ends so they can see the light cast on the situation by the facts of history.

If we are talking Shakespeare, the quote is most certainly "let slip".

Double check the dates in the timeline. Both articles are refering to the entry that is 87 years after the first entry you mention. It is not in reference the the accidents as a whole in RK history, it is in reference to that specific dates entry, where no loss of life was reported, and the events that took place afterwards.

Off the cuff I'd agree with you, Savoy, it sounds a lot more like the Barde's time to say "let slip"..

[Twistshot]

As to the Shakespeare that seems to be as important as the artical I have only this to say. Language shift. As the times change the language shifts to take into effect new "slang" and word association. So depending upon when your copy of Shakespeare was edited and published it may say slip, loose, release, let fly or a host of other things.

Second, the past is the past, many of you continue to point at events before Miss Maron quouted times as proof that that she was lying. She was talking about events at the officail founding of the clans, not of the workers guild. Before you tell people to get their facts strait, you should attempt to have yours strait.

Mining equipment, due to how hard it is to consturct and transport, is designed to last for decades if not centuries and no company no matter how wealthy can afford to upgrade it ever six months to a year. Imagine having to buy a Yalm that often.

[Fionnghal]

Savoy

Actually... Mrs Savoy is correct.. Julius Caesar, Act III, Scene I.

“Oh forgive me, you bleeding piece of earth, for cooperating with these butchers. You are the noblest man who ever lived in all of history. Over your wounds now I predict the future… And Caesar’s ghost, roaming about in search of revenge, with hate at his side still hot from hell, will in these boundaries with a ruler’s voice cry ‘HAVOC’ and let slip the dogs of war, so that this terrible action will smell above the earth, with rotting corpses, begging to be buried.”

Missquote withstanding, the analogy remains.

And thank you for your pompous, high and mighty, focus on a single word miss quoted. Your close mindedness or meglamania does not surprise.
