Ripping open a Reaper

Wednesday, March 20th, 2013

Haii Aii, are you still in empire space? 'Nope. I've mined 6k units of arkonor from a gravimetric site in the home system.' That's pretty impressive. 'And sucked up half of the oldest gas.' The man's a machine. As Aii does what Aii does best, I does what I does ...

Sabre rattling

Saturday, March 16th, 2013

I'm relatively early to w-space this evening, but my glorious leader is earlier. Fin's gone from home and is in a class 2 system, connecting to our own, leaving our neighbouring class 3 system unexplored. Not for long. I warp across the home system and jump through our static wormhole, ...

Wormhole spotting

Friday, March 8th, 2013

Our poppet's on-line, but where? 'Scanning, at home.' Great, let's do it, and get Fin home. A pretty bare home system is livened up by a single extra signature, which even though it's some gas is pretty exciting after having scummy visitors almost strip us clean of any resource. Otherwise ...

Today's history is more interesting than the present

Tuesday, February 19th, 2013

Fin's been busy reconfiguring our tower. I don't ask how, or why, as I probably won't understand and will only get confused. My glorious leader has also scanned the w-space constellation to our neighbouring class 3 system and out to high-sec empire space. I've actually launched probes and am performing ...

Getting ahead of a gooer

Wednesday, February 13th, 2013

Some local gas is gone, and Aii is on-line. Coincidence? I don't know, but it means we're back to only one signature in the home system. I resolve the static wormhole and jump to the neighbouring class 3 w-space system to see what I can find to entertain me today. ...

Staying almost too long with the Sleepers

Saturday, February 9th, 2013

Me, the static wormhole, and a stray signature start my evening in w-space. The unexpected signature is just gas, though. Boring gas. And, after yesterday's coincidence, warping to the bookmark for the previous static connection has me land next to the current wormhole, saving me a whopping ten seconds or ...

Space picnic

Tuesday, February 5th, 2013

I've played with the big boys for the past couple of days—or they played with me—but let's see if I can return to being the hunter today. Launching probes and scanning the home system may put me on the back foot already, as seven signatures at home include three that ...

Less longevity than a dying wormhole

Tuesday, January 29th, 2013

A dying wormhole behind me and a dead wormhole in front of me. Circumstances would be bleak, were it not for the dead wormhole being our static connection. Or, at least, our previous static connection. I imagine the Sleeper technology that connects w-space systems together has already produce a new ...

Known space is boring space

Monday, January 28th, 2013

A more regular start to my day has me arriving at the usual time, to the usual sight. It's just me in the home system, as far as I can tell. Launching probes and scanning finds no intruders, blue or otherwise, and a couple of new signatures to resolve. A ...

Ship watching

Tuesday, January 15th, 2013

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 ...
