All ships are home and safe, it's time to see if we can rattle some cages. Or, indeed, if there are any cages to rattle, w-space looking fairly quiet so far today. I take my Manticore stealth bomber out for a prowl, passing straight through the inactive class 3 w-space ...

Glorious leader Fin is out scanning, and I go to ride her coat-tails. Our neighbouring class 3 w-space system has the inevitable exit to low-sec empire space, but also present is a K162 wormhole. I divert to explore the other connected system, first noting the tower in the C3 with ...

Popping and podding the Cyclone is a little unsettling. Not that I have any qualms about stalking and shooting the unsuspecting pilot. The hunt was thrilling, the operation smooth, and the strategy and options discussed helps to make us better pilots ourselves. This is what brings me out to w-space, ...

Today we've had visitors. A second wormhole in our home system provides a link coming from a class 2 w-space system. I consider it more important to see who may be calling on us before preying in a different direction, and I point my Buzzard covert operations boat towards the ...

I found myself in a rather pleasant class 3 w-space system. It is medium-sized, with one of its planets about 56 AU from the star. It is a fortunate set of circumstances that this outer planet has no moons. Warping out ...

I've decided to cut my strings from the home system and take time out to wander around in the backwoods of class 3 w-space. I am occasionally looking for an exit, but am not sure when I will want to get ...

The home system is empty, and I am by myself. I refrain from performing a full scan of the system, restricting myself to look only for wormholes. The signatures won't change without interference, and without evidence of external visitors I expect the system to look similar from day to day. ...

Ever closer to having my safety net, I assemble and fit two Buzzard covert operations boats. Constance can't use the cloaking device yet, but I can fit it and leave the boat in the hangar for her to pick up. The cloak will go off-line if she boards it now, ...

Oh wow, a shuttle! I get Penny's message that at Jita she has left me a ship and directions in to w-space. I was quite excited to finally board the ship I've spent the past month of intensive training learning to pilot. But I get here to find a lowly ...
