A short poke around w-space to look for targets starts out positively, with an unexpected wormhole in the home system. Glorious leader Fin has resolved and bookmarked our static connection, leaving it unvisited, which lets me identify the other wormhole with ease. Warping to it sees a K162 from more ...

Three signatures. One gas, which I know about. One wormhole, static. One unknown. But is it 'unknown'? No, it's more gas, leaving me just our static wormhole to explore through. Or not, as the bastard's at the end of its life. I bet some blues came this way, opened our ...

I'm hoping for more than a newbie in a frigate and empty covert operations boat to shoot today. And here's my glorious leader to help! What shall we do today, Fin? Shoot Sleepers in anomalies—the shortcut to explosions—explore, or both? Explore to start with, we think, so we resolve the ...

I'm back in space and ready to see how the constellation looks a few hours later. The home system is clear, with no new signatures threatening, and the tower in our neighbouring class 3 w-space system is back up to holding two Heron frigates with the Ferox battlecruiser. The Herons ...

Can anything be happening so early? I aim to find out. But I'll need to scan my way out of the home system, as just the static wormhole is waiting for me here. Of course, I can only know that because I already have scanning probes launched, so jumping to ...

It's a Fin! What's happening, my glorious leader? Not much, not yet. Or maybe it's already kicked off, in the past day or so, as half of our anomalies are missing. Those damned blues. We should seek and destroy them, perhaps through this second wormhole in the home system. I ...

Are these three extra signatures in the home system Sleeper-borne or capsuleer intrusions? A bit of both. Some new rocks, with some Sleepers not good enough to be part of an anomaly's fleet, have floated in as a couple of K162s connect to us. Both wormholes come from class 2 ...

Still all quiet at home. So lonely. One extra signature to keep me warm. Maybe it leads to new friends. Maybe! It resolves to be a wormhole, a K162 from class 3 w-space. And jumping through the wormhole has a Badger light up my directional scanner. There's a tower visible ...

A burst of signature activity occurred overnight. Or, as it turns out, capsuleer activity. Three new signatures combine with the static connection to give a gas site and three wormholes. But even three wormholes doesn't offer much new, not when the static connection to class 3 w-space is always there, ...

In another recent discussion about how to decouple intelligence from chat in the local channel, Mabrick muses that 'In Star Trek every ship had its own transponder, but how many times did that fail, be faked, or otherwise masked on the covert mission deep into Romulan space?' It's an interesting ...
