Another Buzzard has been lost to a tower. Fin was scanning in our neighbouring class 3 w-space system when one of the two on-line towers noticed her covert operations boat's cloak wasn't active, and gave her a nudge as a reminder. A nudge with gun and missile batteries, mind you. ...

I have a niggling feeling I've been neglecting our tower of late. I'm sure the last time we put fuel in it we topped it up completely, giving us plenty of time until it next needs attention, but I forget when that was. Taking a look at the fuel levels ...

Scanning today could be interesting. After yesterday's contretemps Fin and I were a little concerned about the other corporation coming in to our home system and stealing all the profit from our indigenous Sleeper population. It is a minor concern, and one that prompts us to gather that profit for ...

Fin has returned, and collapsed the wormhole behind her. She's a genius. This gives us a new static connection to find, with a new class 3 w-space system beyond it to explore. Resolving the wormhole is straightforward, and I warp both myself and Fin to it to continue today's adventure. ...

The tower can again run unsupervised for a while, like a kitten high on catnip, leaving me free to explore the w-space constellation. I scan and resolve our static wormhole and jump in to the neighbouring class 3 system, seeing a tower with silos on my directional scanner, but no ...

The tower still needs some fuel, so I'd better get some. At least an exit to low-sec empire space should give my Crane transport ship an easy, if potentially lengthy, route to a station in high-sec. All I need to do is find it, and our neighbouring class 3 w-space ...

I start scanning early, hoping to resolve suitable sites for later ambushes. Our neighbouring class 3 w-space system is somewhat of an oddity today, though, holding nine anomalies but only one other signature. I suppose the occupants—as there is a tower in the system, but no ships currently—are more keen ...

Another day, another wormhole collapses like a punctured lung. I scan for the fresh static wormhole that will let me venture beyond our home system to explore the new w-space constellation. The class 4 system connecting to our own is unoccupied, as it was four months ago, and as a ...

Late-night scanning by colleagues has made some bookmarks available, giving me a choice to roam or scan. A time-stamp has been manually added to the bookmark for the home system's static connection, a convention we have adopted to better gauge the life of the wormhole, and it suggests the wormhole ...

I'm active early, hoping to lay the foundations for later ambushes. I take my Buzzard covert operations boat out to scan today's w-space constellation to look for likely targets or sites of interest. I find the home system's static wormhole easily enough and jump through. Our neighbouring class 4 system ...
