Promotions and POS attacks

So, I spend all my time trying to avoid responsibility in my corp. Now this log I keep got the attention of Ma, who needs someone to be the corp historian and archivist. I've been with Huang from the start, so he figured I'd be good for the job. Anyways, I said sure fine whatever and before I knew it I was promoted to 'Li Shi Xue Jia,' or Old Vhek for 'Studious Historian' or something like that. At least it will let me keep my budding interest in old tech and history going. You can see the spanking new holo-viz of our archives at:

Last night, lost my fourth jag to probably the biggest rookie move of my career. Was tooling around Istodard--local channels showed clear, so I wasn't worried at all, and I was playing around with the scanner interface, and decided to try and warp using it. Ended up warping to the first moon of planet IX, which was a nearly fatal mistake. Turns out, some guys calling themselves the Enigma Navy have set up a small station there. Before I even notice it's there, it's automated defenses have scrammed me and blown the jag to bits. I warp out in my pod, and try to come back in a throwaway probe to scoop my can... no dice. Probe is blown all to hell too. Luckily, I had the ISK (barely) to replace my trusty jag, and then Ma (bless his heart) takes pity on his impoverished corp historian and reimburses me out of his own pocket. Lesson: be careful of where you warp, and NEVER warp to a moon, even in safe space.

Podding and other ponderings...

Well, it's been awhile since I've made a log entry. Things have been quiet lately, until just the other night. Whacking the occassional pirate, cleaning out asteroid belts for CONCORD, running occassional missions for Republic Fleet agents...

No wars, almost no organized pirate corp activity, no jaunts to Great Wildlands and other lawless systems...

Did blow up a pirate's pod for the first time last patrol. Scooped his frozen corpse as it didn't seem OK to just leave him floating there. Not sure what to do with it now, except keep it in the deep freeze... probably should just toss it in the nano-recycler. CONCORD wasn't pleased I'd killed the guy, even though he's just a pod-clone and a pirate. Need to do more "security" work for 'em now just to get my record clean again.

We have a new war too... some mercs in Molden Heath that have been comrades-in-arms. First time I'll probably have to shoot pilots I've flown with as squad mates. No idea what this latest war's about. Just doin' my duty. I figure they're gonna regret their decision mighty quickly... they ain't nothin' compared to the Merc Coalition, and we fought thos guys to a standstill. Yep, we're gonna open up some serious whupass on 'em...

Also found out my mate Krindor's leaving Huang Yinglong. He's been looking for his family that were taken by Amarr slavers, and he's uncovered some clues that will send him deep into Gallente space. At least they're still in Empire--I'd hate to think of them as slaves on some Amarr station in the rim systems.

Krindor was one of the new Huang recruits I spent the most time with, training him, flying as his wingman in missions against pirates and Amarr or Caldari scum. I'll miss him. Did set my com to ping me when he's in-pod. Ain't FTL unisphere com wonderful?

Another new recruit is leaving too, but apparently they can't stomach the discipline it takes to be a pod pilot in Huang.
