I'm going to be nosy next door. Our static connection has been opened and the bookmark dropped, but little else seems to be scanned. I jump in to the neighbouring class 4 w-space system and check my directional scanner. Seeing only celestial bodies I launch probes and ...

An alliance member needs to be guided out of w-space. Taking him along the route gives me a chance to passively scout our neighbourhood a little. I warp the pair of us between wormholes, waiting for him to bookmark them for his return journey, and keep an eye ...

Early scanning sees me chasing the static wormhole around our system. Or, at least, its signature. I'm used to having the occasional cosmic signature be elusive but it is a new experience to need several scans to resolve the wormhole from a probabilistic ring to a single point ...

The home system scan is not clear. Before I leave our tower to warp to or scan for the static wormhole I check the directional scanner for extra entities. My check is made easier by everything either being in range, by virtue of my being at the tower, ...

It's been a while since I saw It Hugs Back support Holy Fuck at the Scala. I buy their album on the night and it becomes one of my favourites of last year, the breezy shoegazing pop music really appealing to me. It can be hard to follow ...

Going back through the short but occupied route I check to see if anyone else has woken up yet. The class 4 w-space system adjacent to us is still quiet, but the class 3 further along has a Buzzard in the system. The covert operations boat is not ...

It is too early for anyone to be around. The home system has to stabilise before my Buzzard can warp in to the tower. Even so, there are some bookmarks in the shared can, which I copy and warp out to check. Only one of the three ...

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 ...
