Space doesn't exist. There may be the occasional molecule of gas floating around aimlessly in the void, but quite how nothing, the vast emptiness of vacuum, can be claimed to be something I'm not sure. Or the server is down. And luckily it is just a server ...

I don't have much time but I have a desire to explore, or hunt. The possibility exists of finding a target or two and surprising them, disappearing as quickly as I appear. I even have a colleague to help, and a quick scan of our system finds the ...

A couple of systems have been scanned, there are bookmarks in the can. I think I'll see if anyone is coming out to play in w-space today. Or I would, if I could see the jet-can. My overview no longer has the can listed, although spinning my ...

There is no one here. But maybe there are strangers waiting for me elsewhere. I launch probes from my Buzzard, find our w-space system's static wormhole, and go looking for activity. The neighbouring system is unoccupied and quiet, and scanning soon reveals its own static wormhole. ...

I'm early, but not that early. The previous static wormhole has gone and I delete all my bookmarks to start again. A colleague is out and scanning, helping me to ignore a handful of signatures quickly, and we track down our static wormhole easily enough. The neighbouring ...

Glorious leader Fin witnesses the destruction of an active w-space tower. It doesn't happen to us, but the thought of having our home vaporised is unsettling. One colleague remarks of the invaders that 'we'd better hope they don't find us'. Perhaps, but I don't think we are ...

There is even more to explore. All the excitement in the class 2 w-space system has meant I haven't gone through our static wormhole yet. But by the time I am in position to do so our scan man has gone to the edge of his previous exploration ...

The corporation has been busy. My colleagues are out of our home system and shooting an off-line tower that they owners didn't feel was worth paying a ransom for. That's a shame, but I suppose as our fleet has already popped the hangars and stolen everything ejected there ...

A potential mining system is reported as found. We don't look for systems with rich gravimetric sites so we can mine ore, though, the report is to make us aware that perhaps we'll have defenceless targets to shoot at some point in the evening. Let's hope so. ...

The Borderline is smaller than I remember it to be. I imagine it has been remodelled, or maybe my failing memory really is because I haven't been here for ten years, but the venue looks different. I am impressed that all the members of Blitzen Trapper are able ...
