The contents of the bookmarks can look interesting today. I copy them all in to my Buzzard's systems and head out to explore. Our home system's bookmarked static wormhole is present and stable, signalling the bookmarks are current, and I jump through to the class 4 system. ...

Revenge is a dish best served as dessert. Otherwise it wouldn't technically be revenge, I suppose. Back at the tower in my new Onyx, more engineers have turned up and are looking for action. The visitors from high-sec are still attacking Sleepers in the C1 system a ...

It's difficult to prove a negative. Alone in our home system instead of going out to scan immediately I open our can where we share bookmarks. If someone has already mapped today's local neighbourhood there is no point in duplicating the effort. The problem is that the ...

All alone, I scan. I find our home system's static wormhole and warp to it, but I don't jump. Examining the wormhole shows it to be on the verge of collapse, because of the total mass of ships that has passed through it, but it isn't at the ...

A quick reconnoitre shows all is quiet. Our neighbouring system is still empty, the industrialist corporation whose tower we shot in the next system along is still inactive, and the C1 and its low-sec exit shows no activity. But with it being so quiet and having a C1 ...

Another early start means I am scanning. Fin is already through our static connection and gives me its signature reference so that I can quickly follow behind. This early scanning may find some sleepy targets, or the sites we bookmark may become active later, when we can drop ...

A man wearing a tribal mask with a draping straw beard walks on to the stage and starts a sequencer, introducing a simple drum beat before layering other sounds and patterns over the top to create and manipulate rhythms and grooves. It is fascinating to watch Sbtrkt as he ...

The interlopers are gone, our system is quiet. Our neighbouring class 4 w-space system has no new wormholes connecting in to it, the occupied class 2 along from that shows no activity, and neither does the empty C1 that ends the chain. We are nicely isolated from threats ...

The static wormhole has imploded, there is a new one to find. It doesn't take long scanning to locate the position of the home system's wormhole, and two of us warp out of the tower to begin today's adventure. We jump in to a system we've visited before, ...
