Why must there be scanning probes in the home system? I was coming home for an early night, after evading a counter-attack and scanning empty space, but now I feel compelled to plant myself on our K162 in an interceptor, to sit in wait for the scout. So that's what ...

Finally my Sleeper Tengu is recovered to w-space. I don't really have a goal for my time any more, so I suppose I'll simply see where my scanning probes take me. They take me first to a new radar site in our home system, which I won't bother visiting. Now ...

Job's a good 'un. Our static wormhole is collapsed smoothly, and I delete all the bookmarks to the previous and rather disappointing constellation. So many links to empire space, and none of them usable to collect Pengu. But now we have another chance of finding a decent link to high-sec ...

I can't yet undo my previous scanning and delete all my patiently collected bookmarks. I am back from afternoon tea and was hoping glorious leader Fin would be here and we could kill our wormhole. Despite my best efforts, and various potential exits, I still haven't found a convenient route ...

Pengu's coming home! Okay, maybe not right away, as I haven't even scanned the home system for wormholes yet, but I am optimistic about retrieving my strategic cruiser from high-sec. W-space can't keep sending me to null-sec forever. So with a positive spring in my probe launcher, I resolve our ...

I'm back, and Fin's in trouble. Like me, she saw scanning probes in the home system and decided to sit in ambush on a wormhole. Also like me, circumstances didn't go according to plan. 'I got jumped from behind', she tells me, as I see a Federation Navy Comet on ...

I'm making an earlier start than normal, somewhat determined to get Pengu back home. My Tengu strategic cruiser configured to engage Sleepers is still in empire space, separated from the bulk of our ships and in need to be brought back so that we can start making iskies again. But ...

It's been a while since I mentioned my drumming, but I am still practicing and still getting lessons. I like to think I'm also still improving, and although progress can feel slow there are obvious ways I can tell I am getting better. Being able to play patterns smoothly that ...

All is quiet on the home front, let's see what it's like abroad. I scan the home system and like what I see. Having seven known sites bookmarked and only eight signatures will make plucking the new static wormhole out of the cluster easy, particularly as the strength of the ...

Glorious leader Fin is floating in a ladar site, I'm going to scan my way out of our home w-space system. Or I could let her guide me to our static wormhole, as Fin is harvesting gas and rocks lazily, activating all the mining sites in the system. I saved ...
