Safe and sound, away from home. The K162 from class 4 w-space, some fifty kilometres away, remains inactive for the past few minutes, the fleet I jumped in to not sending out another search party. I still need to treat the constellation with care, but it poses no immediate or ...

All looks quiet in w-space. So very quiet. I think I need some company. I won't find it in the persisting gas clouds in the home system, so I'd best resolve the other signature and open our static wormhole to the neighbours. Or a lack of neighbours, perhaps. It depends ...

Empty system, empty Penny. Launching scanning probes to search for civilisation finds a K162 from class 2 w-space, which is a fair start, particularly seeing that if our home system is one of C2a's static wormholes then the other will lead to high-sec. Jumping through the K162 doesn't look immediately ...

That Orca isn't coming back to finish collapsing the wormhole. I can't think why. Surely it has nothing to do with the pilot having seen my cloaky Loki lurking nearby. Just because industrial command ships are natural prey of strategic cruisers doesn't mean anything. But he's not coming back. It's ...

Bye bye, Drakey. I watched the battlecruiser warp away from the radar site in our neighbouring class 3 w-space system, too nervous to engage it because of its buddy in the Loki strategic cruiser. That doesn't stop me following it home, though. What stops me is that the wormhole it ...

A new signature in the home system doesn't have me scurrying backwards through w-space looking for activity, what with it resolving to be some rocks, leaving me pressing forwards to our neighbouring class 3 system as usual. A tower with no ships appears on my directional scanner from the K162, ...

Damn, this Minmatar technology is flaky. After spending a day trying to get my ship on-line I've had to restore all of its systems to the factory default settings. This is going to be painful. At least I'm somewhat prepared, after previous failures, with a saved overview file that I ...

I come on-line wondering if w-space will at least pretend to be active this evening, and have my scanning probes show me a new signature in the home system that stinks like a K162. I resolve the wormhole and warp to a connection from class 5 w-space, making me think ...

The home system clutter is down to one pocket of gas, which looks much nicer. It is then increased to two pockets of gas as I scan, which is still better than before, and after I activate the new site I jump through the only wormhole to our neighbouring class ...

I'm home, safe, and sitting on a K162. I've kind of been chased out of the class 5 w-space system connecting to our home, but only after almost destroying one of their strategic cruisers in transit. The death of the Noctis salvager was just fate, and I had to shoot ...
