Refuelling the tower

Thursday, January 31st, 2013

I've been away for a few days. What's changed? Glorious leader Fin's brought some more fuel in, so she tells me in a mail, saying that 'we were nearly out'. That's odd, as I'm sure we had over two months' worth of bricks to keep us going, although I have ...

Only shadows of ships

Wednesday, January 30th, 2013

No new signatures crop up to tease me today, giving me a simple route from home to our neighbouring class 3 w-space system. And even in C3a w-space looks empty and isolated, with my directional scanner showing me nothing of interest. Launching probes and performing a blanket scan of the ...

Less longevity than a dying wormhole

Tuesday, January 29th, 2013

A dying wormhole behind me and a dead wormhole in front of me. Circumstances would be bleak, were it not for the dead wormhole being our static connection. Or, at least, our previous static connection. I imagine the Sleeper technology that connects w-space systems together has already produce a new ...

Known space is boring space

Monday, January 28th, 2013

A more regular start to my day has me arriving at the usual time, to the usual sight. It's just me in the home system, as far as I can tell. Launching probes and scanning finds no intruders, blue or otherwise, and a couple of new signatures to resolve. A ...

Not even shooting rats

Sunday, January 27th, 2013

A late night poke around w-space has me finding new rocks at home, and no way to go but through our static wormhole. The connection takes me to our neighbouring class 3 system, where my directional scanner shows me nothing but a bubble in range. I launch probes, blanket the ...

Another recovery mission

Saturday, January 26th, 2013

I don't call her my glorious leader for nothing. Fin managed to get out of the class 6 w-space system and through two class 4 systems in to a class 3 system, resolving three null-sec connections before finally finding a static exit to high-sec empire space. All of that in ...

Helping in my special way

Friday, January 25th, 2013

'I'm in the C6 with an Orca.' That sounds just like my daring and glorious leader. But Fin being in a class 6 w-space system in an industrial command ship raises more questions than it answers, particularly as I didn't ask anything. 'I've been here a while. I jumped in, ...

Looking for a Noctis and finding a Sleeper

Thursday, January 24th, 2013

I need to get home. This new clone is already itching from being in empire space, surrounded by so many other capsuleers all talking freely in public channels. Weirdos. I wake Constance up, my life-line to the home w-space system, only for her to roll over and go back to ...

Jumping to high-sec

Wednesday, January 23rd, 2013

Three signatures are left to scan in the system. A blanket scan of our neighbouring class 3 w-space system revealed five signatures, our K162 is one of them, and the ladar site where I successfully ambushed a Brutix is another. But referring to my notes again shows that the system's ...

A hit and a miss

Tuesday, January 22nd, 2013

A new signature in the home system today is just more Sleepers. Stupid drones. I'm going next door, through our static wormhole, to the neighbouring class 3 w-space system. Updating my directional scanner after the jump shows me a tower, Orca industrial command ship, and Brutix battlecruiser, and although there ...
