I'll have another go at not dying tonight. It didn't seem so difficult yesterday, against the odds, so I am optimistic about keeping my ship intact. And tonight I don't so much start by scanning the home system as scan the corporate bookmarks, which tells me that a colleague unluckier ...

An early start has me hopeful of catching a careless pilot off-guard and producing explosions. With any luck, that careless pilot won't even be me. The bookmarks I can see look stale, so that one extra signature in the home system may not be a wormhole. But it is, a ...

New sites and new signatures are in the home system. The signatures are more pockets of gas, apparently already resolved and bookmarked, and another will be our static wormhole. But that leaves another unaccounted for, so what is it? No, not a white hole, but a K162 from class 5 ...

Why did we recruit another pilot? It seemed like a good idea at the time, adding to our numbers, making us more capable, but now I've got to find him an entrance and then show him the ropes. Then again, I think he'll be kept occupied if I just show ...

A new signature in the home system resolves to be merely a pocket of gas, maintaining our string of days without an incoming wormhole. But as we cleared all of our combat anomalies yesterday we have little reason to stay at home, and certainly not to suck on gas, which ...

The static exit does indeed lead out to the Syndicate region. I'm slowly getting to grips with the different colours and nebulae visible through wormholes exiting w-space. All I need to do now is find a way to make that information useful. For the moment, though, feeling smug seems to ...

I have no expectations for this evening. I'll just get myself on-line and see what's out there. Of course, that's not to say I won't be disappointed, but with any luck my level of disappointment will be greatly reduced. For example, it's disappointing to find that all but two of ...

The goal of making ISK yesterday didn't quite go according to plan. By which I mean we ended up losing another half-a-billion or so. Still, keep our chins up, what? We can have another crack at making some ISK tonight, preferably with better results. And it's a better start at ...

Let's get Fin home. Sure, it would have been simpler had that wormhole not collapsed, and that hostile fleet not thrown a party in her honour in the middle of class 2 w-space, and had my glorious leader not been in an Orca industrial command ship and the hostile fleet ...

We could probably use some ISK. For that, I have a cunning plan: isolate our system, shoot Sleepers for profit. It's so simple I don't know why anyone else hasn't thought of it. I'm almost worried about sharing this knowledge in case it gets abused, but that's a risk I'll ...
