For more than two years I kept a firm grip on the reins of the ILF. I made appointments and put people in charge of some areas or aspects, but I never surrendered any of the true control over the corp's direction.
That has changed and I think for the better. Since naming AncientGuardian as my mahesha, I feel as though a great weight has been lifted off my shoulders. He has a steady hand and a level head and after all this time, I am reasonably assured that we share the same vision for the future of the Intaki people.
With my new-found freedom to escape from some of my management duties I plan to take an extended holiday on Intaki. My twins are beginning their "firsts" (first words, first steps, etc.) and I don't want to miss them because I'm floating in a pod or arguing with some Senator in Villore.

A warm welcome
I have never advocated a violent revolution for the Intaki people and I think should relations with the Federation completely sour I shall miss certain aspects of my life in Gallente space.
In Aunia, for example, I am always warmly welcomed. Eladette Gelarbese is always glad to see me and I must admit that aside from Mrs. Hawke, she is one of my favorite women.
How many missions have I undertaken for her? It must be hundreds by now. I know many find running missions mundane, but I find great satisfaction joining the crew of the ILF Liberty Hammer and clearing out some pirates every now and then. Sure the old Dominix isn't as flashy as some of the new ships and maybe I should care a little more about my standing with the Amarr and Caldari, but I don't. They are a threat to the prosperity of honest men and women and they must be stopped.
If only a few more Gallente cared as much about the Intaki as I do about them. But perhaps that is asking too much.

Cold and lonely
One thing I've noticed this week, the rooms in Villore are always kept cold. I very nearly left my lodging here in the station to sleep in my ship. Although I do not like the dreams I have while in my pod, I feared hypothermia.
Pacing endlessly for warmth did give me some time to think about the situation in Intaki, however. It is blatantly apparent that the Federation has no true interest in the Intaki System. There was no move made when the system fell to the Caldari and our own relief effort was turned away while needed goods and medicine hovered in orbit.
A new plan for secession must be developed and put forward as soon as possible. I have a few ideas ... but they will need to germinate and grow a bit before I put them forward. Going public with a plan to early would be rash, as it will surely be picked apart by the Pro-Feds. No, it must be strong enough to stand before I reveal it.
