The fleet returns home from the Prophecy debacle, where its thin-as-a-rake hull evaporates before we can get a heavy interdictor on top of it. We travel at different speeds, though. The combat ships head directly back, warping wormhole-to-wormhole, whereas the more stealthy amongst us dawdle to look for further activity, ...

There's a Badger hauler on my directional scanner, which I suspect is collecting planet goo. I won't chase it, though, as it is only glorious leader Fin making the rounds in our home system. But it means there has been no scanning done yet, our bookmark can lying empty, so ...

The home system is still empty on my return, and it's perhaps a little optimistic to hope that the neighbours are out harvesting gas in the lone site in their class 3 w-space system. I am keen to find out, though, so I board my Manticore stealth bomber and take ...

Maybe the Proteus pilot isn't that smart after all. We tried to lure the scanning strategic cruiser in to an ambush using a simple frigate as bait, but despite being able to swat our ship to one side the Proteus simply warped home. My first guess is that he suspected ...

Another false start to a day, as a K162 wormhole coming from class 2 w-space distracts me. I can't divert my attention further that way, though, as the wormhole is at the end of its life. Instead, I continue to scan until I resolve our static connection. The wormhole to ...

The designation of this class 3 w-space system looks awfully familiar. That happens a lot, though, strings of numbers jumping out at me and making me think I've seen them before. After all, maybe I have, it was just when I was ordering a takeaway and not jumping through a ...

I have a wormhole to find. I pop and pod a Catalyst destroyer salvaging an anomaly before seeing a newly arrived Drake warp out of one of the local towers, and I have no idea where he went. I make the one wormhole-jump home to swap in to my Buzzard ...

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 ...

I scan our home system as the tower gets stronger. Fin is anchoring some more guns around the perimeter, to deter any unwanted attention. I resolve the system's static wormhole but keep it closed, although Fin assures me she doesn't need to go outside of the shields any more. I ...

The atmosphere at the tower is pricked by the scent of blood. A new wormhole connects to us from a class 2 w-space system and our scout finds a Cormorant destroyer salvaging on the other side. There are also a few Drake battlecruisers creating the Sleeper wrecks to be salvaged, ...
