I believe the oracle in question in many of these incidents is myself, and I assure you although strongly urged by... others... I did not respond with violence toward any human without extreme provocation. In every situation I was passing through the area with no hostile intentions, and inevitably the "lawful" forces of liberty decided to let out their hatred in the form of violence. Most of the time, no warning was given, no notice of engagement, no demands were made, and it was not even stated what "laws" I was supposedly breaking.
In these cases, I first tried to leave the area and evade them. There were a few times where I was too heavily outnumbered and I could not escape, and regrettably had to take defensive action with deadly force.
You have greater threats to your survival than my small fighter craft in Liberty, I hardly see why sending an assault battlecruiser after one barely-armed fighter craft is an efficient use of resources.
What you think of us is not important. You do not own this space although you claim to. Those we seek do not need your approval and neither do I, continue your hate filled lives if you wish, but it will only bring you sorrow and death.
This entire situation saddens me. Such intolerance an' hatred. Was I really like that, before I heard the call of the shrine? I'd like ta think not. Sure, I was a trader, always lookin' fer the next quick credit, but I like ta think I wasn't so greedy as most. Sure, I might throw a punch 'r two in the bar, but I almost never fired my guns in anger, even before I heeded the Shrine's Call.
There I was in New York, sittin' off of Trenton, jus' havin a nice little chat with a trader much like my old self. Despite my inexperience in th' ways of preachin, I think I managed to reach 'im a bit. I was just on my way out, when all of a sudden this Karlotta yahoo shows up and with barely a word, blasts me and my completely unarmed ship out of the sky.
Now, I weren't born yesterd'y, an' I know there's people who don't much care for us or our message, but it's quite another thing to have it actually happen to you. To be as peaceful and non-threatening as can be, and then to still get blowed up just for believin' in peace. There was no reason for it, no reason at all. Shame. It pains me to think I'm from such an intolerant place.
Randy Lamar, out.

From the bridge of the LNS-Brookestone:
Quote:I believe the oracle in question in many of these incidents is myself
For once in the Oracle| lifespan come a little truth. Yes you are one of the Oracle| I have been discussing and debating about this whole time. Congrats on the Oracle| race first correct answer!
Quote:I assure you although strongly urged by... others... I did not respond with violence toward any human without extreme provocation
If you would...kindly tell me what provoked you to attack along side the keeper? This would interest me dearly to know. I know that nothing happened to you before you attacked Liberty along side the keepers.
Quote:In every situation I was passing through the area with no hostile intentions, and inevitably the "lawful" forces of liberty decided to let out their hatred in the form of violence.
Let think about this supposed,
Quote:no hostile intentions
. Attacking Liberty with nomads is hostile. Now to an other side I believe you are talking about the LNS-Brookestone. My crew never interned to use deadly force upon you, we simply wanted to question you. You refused to for questioning. After a while i notice the direction in which you were headed - *cough* Zone-21*cough* - which needed to be stopped. Once after many attempts you did stop and I was forced to use deadly force...
Quote: You do not own this space although you claim to
In fact, i do believe Liberty own Liberty space. You are to follow out laws in our space.
Captain: I would suggest that the Oracle| race stay out of Liberty, because for now on the LNS-Brookestone will have to treat your as a hostile threat to Liberty and its people.
It seems to me that what Liberty is now doing is twisting our words and making accusations without proof. I Was not one of the oracles involved in any incident, though i am a new member of our ranks. Liberty seems to be trigger happy. From what i can discern, it seems as if oracles are traveling with our masters, and when liberty retaliates against them, they also shoot at us, making us fight back unwillingly. With this, you believed they were going to fight in the first place, though they were not, and shouldn't be if they were. So now your on an oracle hunt, and i see YOU attacking first, giving evidence against your own self, and none to say that we attacked first. So really, you can't say we attacked, which means you attacked an innocent, which is breaking your own laws. I see no fault of ours, only of humanity.
That's why I travel without so much as a single weapon on my ship, friend. If you can't fight, you can't be forced to fight. It's one of the lessons I took from the Shrine. We don' need weapons, it ain't our place ta have 'em. What would we use 'em for? It jus' isn' right, that's how I see it. Our purpose is peace.
If others want to attack us, that only shows how desperately they need our help. If some want to defend us, that's alright too. I ain't gonna stop 'em, but I'd rather they not, it only continues the cycle of violence.
I will not fight.
I cannot.
