We're not at war, how disappointing. Maybe the angry pilot decided not to waste his iskies on declaring war on a w-space corporation, where all space is lawless space and we're unlikely to bump in to each other again through random connections, or he calmed down a bit. Either way, ...

There are seven signatures at home today, which means new sites or extra wormholes. Or both! How exciting. I activate a new ladar site, hoping for it to pop but instead giving it a slow puncture, and drop out of warp in front of a K162 from class 5 w-space. ...

I'm ignoring the Myrmidon. The battlecruiser is fairly obvious bait, confirmed when I see the trap sprung, strategic cruisers decloaking to pop an unfortunate victim local to this class 3 w-space system. I'll continue my scanning, looking for an exit so that I can guide an isolated Mick back to ...

Oops. Leaving our wormhole in a critical condition last night worked out well for me and Fin, but Mick took a stroll later on and had the connection collapse behind him. At least we now know it would have only taken one more jump for us to complete the operation, ...

Unlike yesterday I have loads of time today. I aim to make the most of it by turning up early like this for some preliminary scanning and reconnaissance, so I can take advantage of having a mapped w-space constellation later. And, with any luck, I won't make any silly mistakes ...

My time today is short, but not so short that I can't take a quick look around for a soft target. Scanning at home should remain simple enough, with five registered sites and, um, five signatures. Either we don't have a static wormhole today or one of the sites has ...

I see a classic pairing when jumping in to our neighbouring class 3 w-space system, a Drake and Catalyst appearing on my directional scanner. The battlecruiser creates the wrecks and the destroyer salvages behind, but d-scan is not showing me any wrecks in the system and I suspect the two ...

My magnetic personality continues to work its charm, except for somehow reversing the polarity and repulsing instead of attracting other pilots. Alone in our empty home w-space system I scan for wormholes. I have six bookmarks to sites I know about, and there are seven signatures to be found in ...

There are supposedly even more pilots in our home system now, and even if they are friendly they are nowhere to be seen. I feel their presence, if not see their ships, as someone has left bookmarks in our shared can, pointing me towards our neighbouring class 3 w-space system. ...

Why must there be scanning probes in the home system? I was coming home for an early night, after evading a counter-attack and scanning empty space, but now I feel compelled to plant myself on our K162 in an interceptor, to sit in wait for the scout. So that's what ...
