A short story about faction warfare

A COUPLE OF DAYS AGO I SIGNED UP TO FW WITH THE AIM OF MAKING A BIT OF ISK ON THE SIDE RUNNING MISSIONS. MAYBE A BIT OF LOYALTY POINT PVP AND SOMETHING ELSE. WHUTEVER.

TODAY I DECIDED TO HEAD ON INTO MY NEW ADVENTURE WITH EYES WIDE OPEN.

MISSIONS WERE ACCEPTED AND WAYPOINTS SET.

I GOT HALFWAY TO THE FIRST WAYPOINT AND AFTER READING THE DESCRIPTION AGAIN CAME TO A RATHER RASH DECISION.

I DECIDED TO TURN MY SHIP AROUND AND HEAD BACK TO BASE WHERE I QUICKLY WITHDREW MY CORPORATION FROM THIS FALSE WAR.

I HAVE NEVER RUN A MISSION BEFORE IN MY ENTIRE EVE CAREER AND THE THOUGHT OF WASTING TIME RUNNING THEM FILLED ME WITH DREAD.

I TAKE MY HAT OFF TO THOSE WHO MANAGED TO FARM ISK ON A DAILY BASIS. I LASTED A TOTAL OF ABOUT 25 MINUTES BEFORE IT WORE ME DOWN AND I NEVER EVEN FIRED A SINGLE SHOT IN ANGER.

ANYBODY WANT TO BUY A CARACAL NAVY A CERBERUS AND A LOAD OF OLD BOMBERS?

Player 3 has cut his hair

Since my last post way back in March, which wasn't really a post of any interest, more a pic. I have changed my image somewhat. My own Mother wouldn't have recognised me (if she hadn't have been kidnapped by those pirates and sold to a life of paperwork in a Caldari corporate office that is) or something.

Anyway, I'll keep my old pic on the blog bio, just in case CONCORD show up accusing me of using somebody else's pilot's licence.

Straight cut down to the bone. Clean shaven these days too. I heard that some ladies like that, non?

How you doin?

I hope to find some decent killmails soon too. I did pod some n00b who was loitering outside a station in Egbinger. Took home some bacon from the bounty office too.

Bounties. Looking through my old paperwork it seems I'm quite good at this actually. Same guy twice, notorious criminal type. Life is good, and why shouldn't it be? I'm a bounty hunter ... or am I?

Bounties are changing soon.


Maybe I could become a professional bounty hunter warrior type? I might see what the pension is like first.

A MINING NAVY MEGATHRON WHAT IS THIS?

I JUST HAD TO TAKE A PIC.

CLICK ME BIG ME

IF ONLY IT WASN'T IN HIGH-SEC! I TELL YOU, THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG ABOUT THIS. I SAT IN THE BELT AND WATCHED HIM FOR A GOOD FIVE MINUTES. FIVE MINUTES I WILL NEVER GET BACK. TO MAKE MYSELF FEEL BETTER I HAD A QUICK LOOK IN THE MIRROR AND CARRIED ON MY WAY.

The Funky Time Machine Badger

WARPING AROUND THE BELTS IN BOSENA SOLAR SYSTEM IN MY BADGER MARK II I WAS CHASING AROUND A RIFTER PILOT WHO WAS KEEN TO INTRODUCE HIMSELF BUT WE KEPT MISSING EACH OTHER.

BADGER MARK II

DRAT. THEN I REMEMBERED THE FLUX COILS IN THE BADGER'S THRUSTERS WERE FAULTY AND DID IN FACT ACT AS A SUB-VELOCITY TIME MACHINE (OF SORTS). I QUICKLY ENGAGED MY WARP DRIVE AND SET WARP SPEED TO 88 MPH. AT THIS EXACT POINT IN TIME THE SHIPS ON BOARD RADIO SYSTEMS SPRANG INTO LIFE AND GLORIOUS MUSIC FROM THE PAST SPURTED OUT OF THE SPEAKERS.

WARP DRIVE ACTIVE

THE CREW BEGAN TO WHOOP AND SING AS WE EMERGED FROM OUR WARP BACK IN TIME AT THE PREVIOUS BELT - RIGHT ON TOP OF THE PESKY RIFTER.

MARCONI PLAYS THE MAMBA
LISTEN TO THE RADIO
DON'T YOU REMEMBER?

WHAT FOLLOWED WAS SPECIAL, GROOVY, MAGICAL. WEBBED AND NEUTED AND A LITTLE TECH ONE BLASTER PLINKING AWAY AT THE IMMOBILIZED RIFTER - LOCAL CHAT SPRANG INTO LIFE.



Nigel VII > he's attacked



NOW THERE'S JUST ME AND THIS DUDE IN HERE, SO I SCRATCH MY HEAD AND CARRY ON WITH THE TASK IN HAND. YOU TALKING TO ME HUH? I REMAIN SILENT.


Nigel VII > you got web or scram?

I'M LOVING THIS, I'M LOLING TO MYSELF AND MY CREW IS RUNNING AROUND THE BRIDGE LIKE DEMONIC PRIMATES.

LEFT WAIST GUNNER

Nigel VII > don't think he was mining
