Trapped but not chased

Sunday, July 15th, 2012

It's taken too long to uncover, but we are finally monitoring the route some pilots are taking between their class 5 w-space home and empire space. We should be able to identify passing ships early and, if good targets, intercept and engage them. We're in a class 3 system a ...

Finding the right hole

Saturday, July 14th, 2012

Mission: find targets continues where it left off yesterday. I have no support from Fin or Aii at the moment, but that just lets me scout ahead and get in to position for their arrival. I scan the home system, activate a new ladar site, and jump through our static ...

Appearing at the end of a mining operation

Thursday, July 12th, 2012

I've got myself confused. A rogue Anathema appeared in the home system with no apparent source, and we collapsed our static wormhole to keep out the covert operations boat we assumed we'd seen lurking before. Now I've scanned the home system to continue the evening's adventure and I'm seeing a ...

Needless slaughter

Sunday, July 8th, 2012

Bookmarks of the w-space constellation are convenient, bookmarks a few hours old less so. But bookmarks made a few hours ago by another capsuleer become an adventure again. It's like I have a trail of crumbs to follow, with no guarantee that it will lead anywhere or even guide me ...

Stumbling in to a scout in null-sec

Saturday, July 7th, 2012

I appear to be late, as Fin has already found Aridia and scanned beyond it. There's nothing out there, though, just inactive class 3 w-space systems and low-sec empire space, so should we collapse the wormhole and start again, or keep going? I said, should we collapse, or keep... Oh, ...

Diverting to high-sec

Thursday, July 5th, 2012

There's a Loki launching probes, and it's not mine. Pausing at the wormhole out of this class 2 w-space system to take one last glance at my directional scanner shows me the strategic cruiser new to the system, and that it's launching probes probably makes it covertly configured and not ...

Crashing, collapsing, and crashing some more

Wednesday, July 4th, 2012

Yesterday's tough target was a little too much for me, and tonight I'm hoping for something softer than a salvager escorted among Sleepers. But what's this? My scanning probes are showing me that all our profitable anomalies are gone, and I didn't even get to shoot anyone! Some honeypots they ...

Showing my shadow

Tuesday, July 3rd, 2012

I've been absent for a few days, and now I'm back to see what's changed. There are no obvious visitors in the home system, letting me get on-line and settled without any stress, and my probes pick up three signatures plus one for our static wormhole. With three sites resolved ...

Multiplying ships

Monday, July 2nd, 2012

I remember now. Aii mentioned finding a second K162 wormhole in our neighbouring system, but left it unvisited as he had to disappear for a while. I have been busy getting ammunition for an exploded Loki through a high-sec connection near Rens, and then a replacement Loki that can use ...

Asset redistribution therapy

Sunday, July 1st, 2012

I never learn. I'm sitting in my interceptor on a wormhole, waiting for a covert operations boat to head my way. The only difference this time is that I'm in the same system as my Anathema target, because he's using core scanning probes. The probes won't detect my Malediction, and ...
