Growing pains

It's interesting what a little publicity can do for a corp and a cause. After banging the drums for Intaki Sovereignty for nearly three years now, it seems some of the news organizations are really taking notice of us. I'm sure the presence of the Caldari militia in Intaki has something to do with it, but I'll take the boost regardless.

The upside is that we are attracting a lot of new pilots. This is very good and we are bringing in some experienced pilots to go with the rookies. The drawback is that those rookies need training to be brought up to speed as quickly as possible. Low sec is rough country and I don't like to see them take too many hits in the early part of their careers.

Some of my freespace connections have offered to bring us into an alliance that would give us that training. However, I'm afraid that politically it would prove "too hot" and would also take us too far away from the Sovereignty to be effective in our mission.

We're also having to deal with an issue that I truly hate: internal security. With the hatred that many spew at us, it is little doubt that some groups would love to get an agent inside the ILF.

Aw the joys and pains of success.
