A Retriever mining barge has been spotted. It is in a medium bubble and obviously bait, but the possibility of heading in to a trap hasn't stopped me taking a look before. Some colleagues are pondering bumping the Retriever out of the bubble, perhaps to recover it, I'm ...

I turn up to the familiar operation of trying to return a colleague home. Our scan man found himself on the wrong side of our static wormhole as we collapsed it, and piloted himself out to empire space. Now we are to get him back. I don't ...

After killing five miners in our neighbouring w-space system, and their hauler, it is decided to collapse our connecting wormhole. Personally, I don't really think our neighbours pose any serious threat, partly because we have just sent six of them back to empire space without ships, and partly because ...

Five jumps out, our static wormhole collapses. The podded pilot we were hoping to get back in to w-space has made a dozen jumps for naught, the wormhole in high-sec space she was heading for now leading to a dead-end. Quite why our static wormhole chooses this time ...

Scanning is complete before I even turn up. The bookmarks of all wormholes and exits are sitting in our can ready to be copied. I am even told that there is nothing of interest in the systems, as they are clear of sites and targets. My Manticore ...

I turn up to find a couple of corporation Rifters duelling. It's all fun and games until someone loses a frigate, and one pilot inevitably isn't able to switch off his guns in time. Oh well, it's another notch on our new kill-board, and in both the kills ...

Intruders! There are capsuleers in our home w-space system shooting Sleepers, and it's not us. And as the external fleet has a Legion strategic cruiser, two Nighthawk command ships, two Basilisk logistic ships, and an expensive Tempest Fleet Issue battleship, these are not people we could scare away ...

I'm late. My corporation colleagues have been shooting miners without me. A Hulk exhumer and Retriever mining barge are both destroyed, throwing their capsuleers' pods out in to the harshness of the vacuum, although the pods escape, as does an Orca industrial command ship. I may have ...

A Golem is in our system, killing our Sleepers. The marauder, the Tech II version of the Raven battleship, is from the same alliance we should be friendly with, one of whose member corporations bombed our tower, and he's probably come from the w-space system that recently left me ...

To shake my routine up a bit, I think I'll go scanning. Once my client stops crashing and the UI stops glitching, I may even make it out of our home w-space system. Chasing a signature around for five minutes for no reason, then having the probe range ...
