Oh My God, it's full of stars!

- Captain...
- Captain?, please sir, wake up, this is an emergency
- WHAT ?? ( I yelled on the intercom)
- Sir, You must come and see this.

Sellar's voice was different from normal, she was anxious, and she never get's anxious.

- Be right there lieutenant Commander.

In a minute I took a shower and went to the bridge. A crewman was passing one of the corridors asked me briefly

- Did you see it captain ? What is it?
- Err..., nooo I didn't see anything...
- Exactly, and you know why? It's like we are in the middle of nothingness.
- Hmmm (I though), It's probably nothing, nevertheless I rushed to the elevator and consequently to the bridge. One thing strange though... why was that crewman smiling that way to me?
- Captain, look!
- I approach the screen and what I saw was incredible...
- OH MY GOD.... IT'S FULL OF STARS..., so what? (I asked to my officers on the bridge), what’s wrong with this view?
- Well sir, my commander started, HAPPY BIRTHMOMENT sir!

And all started to clap and cheerfully singing.

- OH... stop it, what is the point of remembering me about my moment of birth, I don't remember myself
- Was he trying to be funny ?
- I heard that Tyler - And we all started to laugh

Tyler is my second in command, she always says that I need to be less serious and more... jovial.

- Sir we have a little party prepared for you on the bar of the station, care to join ?
- Do I have a choice ?
- No!..., Sir!
- Of course I have, I'm the captain.
- Ohhhhhhhhhh (All exclaimed, but I continued)
- BUT... under the circumstances...

While I was going to the station...

- HEY... you...
- Sir ?!
- You were smiling at me moments ago on the corridor... you knewn what was happening, right?
- Yes..., I mean, yes sir
- Good for you!

And the party started…

Titanium Plates I

On my way to the recreation deck, 2 hours ago, to a much needed and deserved R&R, Sellar, my security officer was telling me that she heard on a bar in Oursulaert III (the station where we're docked at the moment) that if a ship is fitted with Titanium plates Lv I instead of steel plates Lv I, that our armour would increase form 5200 to near 5800. That was music to my ears, but there is always a price. She said that the difference would be huge (that I noticed) and the price would have a marginal increase. Trading all our plates would cost +/- 60.000 ISK. I gave the OK to buy the plates, and 20 minutes later she gave them to X'roden, our engineer which he spent some time (not much) installing them. The control console in my chair didn't lie, an impressive 5891 armour points improvement, even more then she antecipated. Hmmm... it's good to have competent crew.
*Yawn*. In space it's always night and sleeping it's a rare commodity this days, I will rest now. I don't know what to expect tomorrow...

Cheetah! The Pirate worth killing

This rat was protecting a rats warehouse in the Mies system when I arrived commanding my Thorax II and finalizing my agent mission. When I saw the bounty that I would recieve for killing it, I was hesitant..., to earn 50.000 ISK for just one rat's ship would not be very easy. That though made me use a very defense/offensive strategy, I approach it within 20 kms and fired my ships stationary weapon making the rat loose 100 points of shield. Immediatly I launch 3 combat drones and well, the rest is boring history, in less than 30 seconds the rats ship was making a huge blowing sound and 50.000 ISK was transfered to my account.

The Ship



MCN Thorax II


I am the captain of the starship MCN Thorax II - Cruiser Class
I bought this fine ship 2 weeks ago on the Gallente market for 6 million ISK. It is a very nice piece of space tecnology and design. The elegance is impressive, more so when the ship jumps to warp, one can almost see it streching like a long sword. With more then 5200 Armor, and 2 warp stabilizers, my modified Thorax is a good choice when I'm killing rats on a 0.5 or 0.4 sectors and suddently a pirate appears to try to kill me. The offensive weaponry is classified information.
