So I don't come home with a tower. But that pretty much describes every day, so I don't think I should be judged for that. Sure, I could have destroyed the tower, after blowing up the Impel transport that carried it, but sometimes the lure of bringing home something so ...

I'm looking for a target. Nope, nothing in the home system. How about a wormhole? Scanning resolves gas, a wormhole, a data site, more gas, and, just when I think it's me and the static connection, a second wormhole. The K162 from class 4 w-space will do just fine, and ...

Old sites have dispersed, new sites have coalesced. Such is life in w-space. What's elsewhere? Two towers and a Thanatos carrier appear on my directional scanner in our neighbouring class 3 system, and I'm pushed seven kilometres from the K162 when jumping in to the system. Even without that clue ...

I was going to scan, thinking the destruction of a planet-gooing Viator would have subdued the locals, but a pilot at the tower swaps back to his Crane. I can't quite believe a second transport would be thrown in front of my ship, just to see if I was actually ...

How extensive will the constellation be tonight? I shift yesterday's thirty wormhole bookmarks—only one made outside of w-space—to a temporary folder and start afresh. The home system gives me a straightforward start, the static connection being the only wormhole and my first of the day. Jumping to the neighbouring class ...

I have a mapped constellation to roam. Let's just hope it is more active than when I uncovered it earlier, as it seemed like what few pilots were visible were pretending their towers' force fields were one-way space hides. But before I go roaming forwards, a new signature in the ...

Maybe today I can aim higher than a Heron. Popping frigates is a fun distraction, but that's all it really is. More new signatures at home could offer different directions to head, to look for opportunity, but it's just gas, gas, gas. And a bit more gas. I have no ...

Friday, August 9th, 2013
A new day, a new adventure. I scan, resolve our static wormhole, and jump to the neighbouring class 3 w-space system. All looks quiet, with my directional scanner showing me nothing, so it's not much of an adventure yet. My notes say C3a was unoccupied a year ago, and as ...

I'm heading home in my heavy interdictor. Heavy with corpses, that is. I drop off the four ex-miners in to our hangar, swap back to my cloaky Loki strategic cruiser, and head back down the chain to where I dropped on them in my Onyx. Passing through our neighbouring class ...

I'm on-line a little earlier today, hoping this time to catch someone actually awake. Aii has sucked up the home system gas nice and efficiently, leaving a data site and our static wormhole as the only two signatures present. I resolve the new connection and jump through to see what's ...
