One of the repercussions, as in unintended consequences, of being a clone mercenary in New Eden is that you can discover people you have gotten to know on the IGS, on the battlefield in your crosshairs. Of course that does not impact you pulling the trigger, but it does play havoc with your emotions. We are all professional soldiers, that is a given, but the little knot in your stomach tightens when a familiar name scrolls by after you just finished off an adversary. As a squad leader sometimes you've focused the efforts of the five other mercs under your command to eliminate someone who turns out being a person you've had extensive debates with in the IGS channel.
That happened to me today, after the battle was done, I sent an email to my adversary and told him that he had performed well on the battlefield even if sadly, on the losing side, from my point of view. This highlighted to me how unique are circumstances are as clone mercs. One moment you can be breaking bread with a fellow merc in a station eatery and the next day repeatedly killing him in combat.
Some might surmise that isk & aur payments determine who and what we care about as a merc but in my case that is not a deciding factor. Once I accept a contract it becomes a point of personal pride that I do my best to fulfill the obligation to the best of my abilities. Friends who accept contracts that place themselves in opposition to my contractual obligations do so at their own peril, on the battlefield the only friends that matter for the duration of the fight are those who are on my side.
So to all those who wonder if we are cold hearted killing machines that release a frenzy of ferocious unfeeling violence upon everything that crosses our paths, stand corrected, we do feel, we are aware that the pain and death we inflict is horrible. We carry the emotional weight of it with us, but it is a job we have chosen to do, do not expect us to take pity on those who oppose us.
Sure they all have back stories and families and communities that spawned them, but that is of small concern during a firefight, they have been reduced to obstacles or threats to my squad mates and the successful completion of a contract we have accepted. It is not personal it's business.

I have stated this Before at the time where the IGS was still a new effort But I feel no regret, no knot in my stomach, I feel pride but not for killing them, I feel pride for helping my side of the battle ((usually Amarr and Caldari contracts)) this may be because I have no friends, I have people who I know and ACT friendly towards. I can not have friends unless I have a garentee that I will never fight them because I do not want anything to hold me back not ever for a second for a second may become the factor of weather I live or die
Money shall not define us ((with the exception of a few)) it shall never define us for we may be cloned but we are still human not truly immortal it is just a title given to us by the people who see us as strange beings. If they cut our supply off we die like the true mortals we are. ((Find Mercs:killing machines or people in the fiction section))

For me war and killing is something I force myself to endure for the greater good of mankind in the Eve Cluster. As long as the evil of the amarr slave cult empire is allowed to exist all of humanity is at risk.
So I do get a knot in my stomach when I kill another human being even if it be a foul amarrian, because I will not sacrifice my humanity in the process of eradicating evil. I will not revel in the violence I must commit to slow and stop the spread of the amarr empire and their devil's spawn supplicant allies. I bring a very strategic workmanlike ethic to the battlefield, eliminate threats, eliminate targets, secure the victory, one step, one shot at a time.

While rebels like you exist no peace can be known by this galaxy. Conquest is the way of the Amarr, whether we like it or not, in my case not, but I will do my duty to ensure the dignity and spiritual well being of Man is preserved so that all of God's children beneath the Heavens may live their lives well and for a higher purpose. I will overlook your poor command of the common language of the IGS because educational opportunities in the empire are few and far between for people of the lower classes which you obviously represent.
The bile your foul ilk spews forth is the reason that you'll never succeed. You are both wrong and evil, in the long run right and goodness will prevail.
You are on the wrong side of history, you will continue to taste the defeat that the Jove and your former slaves have inflicted upon you.
Mankind will correct the abomination that is the amarr empire, you are a lingering festering cancer leeching off the soul and body of humanity. Your false religion is a disease infesting many of those forced to tolerate it, like many diseases it makes it's victims run hot with feverous fervor amidst hallucinations of divine voices spurring them on to perform horribly evil tasks in the name of some make believe deity. An easily identifiable psychosis is what you have mistaken for divine right. You are a group descended from nut case cultists who had better weapons than the civilized people they enslaved, until you change the path you are following nothing good will ever result from your kind. You are no better then the Sansha.

You have a narrow view of the world. Do you even know any True Amarr outside of our militaries?
As for that last remark....that there indicates how ignorant of this galaxy you are. The Amarr seek to teach, bring their knowledge, their stability, Faith to the peoples beneath the heavens. We take so that we may instruct, once that noble purpose is complete, the people are free to go.
However what the Nation does is strip you of your very being, what you are is destroyed and replaced with the will of a narcissistic soul with a god complex.
As to those defeats you say were handed to us....you should know at no time have the Amarr ever committed more than a fraction of their full strength to a conflict. Not during Vak' Atioth, where a single command of 200 ships were present, and not even when the Minmatar Elder fleet invaded who were routed embarrassingly by the battered remains of the Sarum Houses fleets.
If the Amarr ever chose to commit their full military might to a conflict I can only imagine victory is assured.

This is a fool's paradise that people of intellectual capacity beyond that of grade school would not indulge in. If you so strongly believe in the crap that motivates you is actually from God why would you do anything short of full commitment?
Because your leadership peddles that baloney so little people like you will feel better about being tools of the holder class in the empire.
The balance of you other statements is so outlandishly divorced from reality I seriously feel sorry for you, a poor deluded mislead ignorant instrument of an evil cult.

I do not use that statement as an excuse. Could have, would have, and should have are nothing before the providence of God and the immortal destiny my people hold.
I merely say it to reinforce and cure your mind off the notion that our people have committed the fullness of their capacity to any given conflict.
Speak as you will, and I call your words nonsense, my belief is something I chose for myself. My sacrifices something I chose. As always I choose to serve how I can and fight for my peoples noble cause. However your people could not know what we know. We have had 15000 years of imperial stability and unity.....your people barely united 300 years ago...
Again you statement obviously bely you ignorance. You speak of evil, you speak of cults..... and as I say I doubt you have had nearly so much experience with cults as an ordained Templar..... the very faces of evil lie in deviancy. Deviancy from the order the Amarr would bring.
Your words are wind. You have no intention of knowing me, and as a result you would never know the validity of my cause. I would hear you but for the reports of another solider in your alliance, one who claims you take slaves yourselves and hold them in unbearable conditions in uncharted space.
