The 4th is what grew out of CAIN, etc., yes? ... Yeah, I'd be more enthusiastic if the alliance were more, ah, RP-dedicated. I've worked with the other kind before, but it's never very ... satisfying, y'know?
Davlos:
Ah, my time as Omerta's primary covops scout. Heh-- that was in an earlier, more innocent day. These days, people quite justifiably sleep with one eye on their d-scanners and a finger going click, click, click. I never have gotten quite good enough with the latest version of probes to be able to often overcome that paranoia.
... Course, I haven't often had reason to try all that hard. There's a fun trick you can play with combined D-scanner and probe cloud that, handled properly, should score a 100% on the first try without exposing the probes for more than a few seconds. I look forward to getting back in practice.
I-RED is of interest, as long as it remains State-loyal. Loyalty to Tibus Heth = strictly optional; Aria regards him as a temporary, but useful, figure of the sort that makes his mark on the history books and is then disposed of. Collaboration with the enemy is more of a potential sticking point; Aria regards Gallentean influence as culturally toxic. Efforts to persuade her otherwise are best handled IC.
Des:
Eh-- there's never been all that much happening on the Patriot side. CAIN was ... kinda that way for a while, IIRC, but it sounds like the 4th has gone the way of CVA (power seen as inconsistent with RP). I'll be content with playing the Patriot voice in a Liberal entity, if it comes to that; the Practicals are the only State faction Aria actively won't work for (she doesn't regard their good as consistent with the good of the State; the Liberals, at least, tend to be the loyal opposition).
Aldrith:
That depends greatly. Aria has always been highly suspicious of Amarrian intentions towards the State, and is unwilling to wander too far, geographically or politically, from home. You'd need to make a strong IC pitch.
Also, Aria is under no illusions as to her own nobility-- and is deeply cynical about anyone else's.
IE, possible, maybe even OOC kinda attractive, but you'd need to do a lot of persuading, and, even then, you'd probably have acquired a suspicious soul who would take any opportunity she got to cast doubt on any noble pretensions the Knighthood might have.
Of course, there should be at least one of those in any good organization....
