It's another night of scanning. At least the probe's positional arrows shouldn't disappear any more, which removes an occasional frustration, although the returned signatures in the scanning frame are now selected arbitrarily and several at a time, creating a new frustration when trying to ignore or select a particular ...

My colleagues are out scanning, so I get a free ride through a couple of systems. I am guided to our static wormhole, warped across the neighbouring class 4 system to its static connection, and jump through in to a C5. Judging from everyone's temperament, and my use ...

It's all quiet, I go out scanning alone. My exploration to find activity starts slowly when jumping through the static connection fails owing to the exit wormhole stabilising, a sure indication that no one is in the system on the other side. I have visited this C4 system ...

The fresh static connection we open yesterday must be gone by now. I check the bookmark can floating nearby and find three new bookmarks, copying them across to my systems. Two of the bookmarks obviously mark our static wormhole and its K162 companion in the connecting system, but ...

The static wormhole collapses on demand, disappearing after the Orca returns home. The new static wormhole is found and jumped through, revealing an unoccupied class 4 w-space system with ten signatures and two anomalies for us to plunder. It doesn't seem like much, with a suggestion to collapse ...

Earlier scanning by scouts has found a route to empire space. The journey leads from home through the static C4 system to a C3, and from there to low-sec space. A class 6 w-space connection is also found in the C3, but all systems seem quiet. Fin ...

I will go back. The Scorpion has seen me leave, I have seen an unfinished anomaly on d-scan, and I have reloaded my stealth bomber. There is a slim chance I can cause more mayhem. The first step is to see if the Scorpion battleship has moved ...

The previous static wormhole is dead, I must find the new one to begin today's adventure. Jumping through the static wormhole, once resolved, reveals only celestial bodies within range of the directional scanner, plus one giant secure can. I launch probes and prepare to scan, bookmarking the wormhole ...

Fin risks collapsing our unstable wormhole. A cruiser-sized hull is pushed through and, with some luck and judgement, the wormhole collapses on the return jump. We now have a new static wormhole to find and potential for more action beyond our own system. I take my Buzzard ...

The static wormhole is on the verge of collapse. It is not the work of others trying to keep us out this time, but a lack of anything to do provoking corporation members to try to collapse the wormhole themselves. The operation isn't quite as successful as it ...
