You are on the right train of thought, soldier. What Mister Mordu offers is nothing but materialistic goods. Don't get me wrong, those are important, but they are not wealth. There are deeper motives brewing in his mind.

For his sake, I hope he makes good on those rewards. Ive met one clone, a brute who wears an amplified Ak.0 Suit. Saw him break a man in half for shooting him in the head... and that was before he had his spirits..

Rich people get bored to.

And that's exactly what has concerned so many clone soldiers - seeing Mordu "bored" enough that he just wants to throw guns around and watch the body count rise for a short period of time is absolutely terrible for morale. If he wants to take them to amazing places, show them rewards that they can't get working for anyone else , and give them a reason to live again after every death - he's going to need to start giving them a taste of his real plans and stop playing his cards so close to his chest all the time.

Let us not forget that none of the four great empires of New Eden claim they want war. Furthermore, each of said empires fear that the cycle of life and death by us, the cloned soldiers, can lead to a loss in our humanity. By tempting us to engage in such hostile acts simply for the desire to acquire more fuel for the fire could lead in just that.

I precaution all of you, do not let these materialistic rewards fool you. It is okay to seek the tools of your trade, but do not forget your loyalties and why you exist.

Are you referring to Bane, the Breaker of Worlds? The man who held hostage an entire planet for several months with only an handful of Mercs at his side?

Heh, should run that speech by the Matari in Amarr. Im sure they'd be apt to tell you how grand their 'existence' is.

Loyalty is synonymous with control. Let the Federation, or the Empire or whatever have your 'loyalty' and the next time you wake up from death will be to a bunch of guns pointed at you just before they terminate the rest of your clones and read you your rights. Live free, unchained and dont let anyone take that away - because what could they really do to stop you...?

I'd be much more concerned if one of the much more powerful factions were trying to buy us, because if a small time operator like mordu could toss 1.7 trillion, I'm sure the guristas or sansha could multiply that by dozens and not lose a wink of sleep.

I could stand to kill a few people for some Drop or Crash on the side. Amazing what that stuff will do on the field, one good dose on the wrist and youre suddenly wearing a necklace made of kidneys and ball bearings with a depleted nova knife in one hand.

Suffice to say, thats a lot of ISK and Im sure his less entrepeneural types are shocked he just threw it away. Caldari Colonel makes about 40 ISK a month last I heard, so to be a grunt and hear about that kind of expenditure - seemingly for fun and games - must play the heart strings a bit.

Think we all owe those grunts a formal apology for being able to live to see our earnings. Poor bastards. Must feel real bad to diewithout even getting to see the end of the contract.

Well it's not like that isk was earned with even the tiniest amount of his own work, I wouldn't be surprised if mordu paid his employees in the range the caldari pay their own. I wouldn't necessarily call it thrown away, maybe misused since he could've rewarded us in a much better way for the same amount.

You dont know much about Mordu then. Guy has a habit of taking the more important contracts and going out in the field to supervise the success personally. Much beyond that, I hear most of his mercs retire after a few years; maybe a decade.

It's not like he's actually contributing the majority of the time, anyone can sit back and tell people what to do. Also, I'd need to know their pay range for that to mean anything, as far as I know mordu pilots might retire with 40 isk a month.

1 isk in civilian terms is a lot of money, and it's not hard to tell people what to as long as they're not idiots.

Gods and spirits, soldier, please stop.

Ah, the Amarr. They have good intentions and have a magnificent society, but their war tactics are malevolent. There is no fault in desiring further protection from such horrors.

Respectfully (mostly), it may be truer to say that anyone can sit back and tell people that anyone can sit back and tell people what to do.

Good administrators are hard to come by; not "just anyone" can do the job. Just ask the Caldari about their experience with an MTAC operator-turned-near-dictator. They're meritocratic for a reason; Tibus Heth was the exception that demonstrated the reason for the rule.

As for Mordu, he has a bit more to him than you seem to give him credit for. That article is a little out of date, mind you.
