I should probably get that replacement Falcon recon ship we need, but scanning calls to me. Our current constellation may seem superficially dull, with just a class 3 w-space system holding four connections to empire space, but those empire systems could hold their own connections to adventure. As much as ...

'What's happening?' Fin sounds just like me, but I can't answer her question as I've only just turned up myself. Some bookmarks remain from earlier, which Fin made, and we should have a few hours left on our static connection and, hopefully, the other wormholes she found. Fin spent a ...

I arrive to see the tell-tale sign of an unopened wormhole. A single bookmark points to our static connection, and without its paired K162 also bookmarked I feel safe in clustering my scanning probes around the location, where I indeed resolve the wormhole in the same place. Fin comes on-line ...

No visitors, no colleagues, no bookmarks. There are five new signatures in the home w-space system, though, giving me three wormholes, a spot of gas, and a magnetometric site. And a Cheetah covert operations boat blips under my probes and on my directional scanner as I resolve the final signature. ...

Nothing and no one in the home system seems awfully quiet. I think I'll go and poke the neighbours. Ah, but which ones? It seems it's not quite so quiet as I first believed, as the rocks have drifted apart and that second signature is no longer a gravimetric site ...

My glorious leader is collapsing our static wormhole as I come on-line, rubbing sleep from my eyes. 'The neighbouring system has a static connection to null-sec, and is full of towers and probes.' That sounds like a good reason to look for better opportunity through a different static wormhole, and ...

I remember now. There's an N968 in this system. I just got a bit distracted by the gas harvesting operation through a K162 to class 5 w-space. But now that I have disrupted the operation, by podding the pilot hauling gas in his Badger, and fleeing from the fairly prompt ...

Gas has gone, new gas has come. Plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose. My glorious leader is present and scanning, resolving a wormhole as I launch my own probes. As Fin warps to what turns out to be our static connection to class 3 w-space my probes converge ...

Fin's next door, but through a K162 to more class 4 w-space and not our static connection. 'No one's home, but they don't run their sites anyway.' As she scans for further K162s I head to our unvisited neighbouring class 3 system. Seven scanning probes light up my directional scanner, ...

I jump from C3b to C2d, and warp across the system to return to C2a. W-space has provided me with some thrills already, as Fin and I executed an unorthodox and improvised ambush against an escorted Exequror cruiser. The gasser got away, but other side thought they'd engineered the situation ...
