Some time ago... I'm not sure how long ago now, my corp came under fire from within. Blood and carnage ensued. My face was streaked with blood, grime, and my own hot salty tears.
I was left the lone survivor in our C4-C4. I had ships but the corp was crippled. I was alone and the carrion eaters began to circle. I had two POSes with almost no fuel left, 20 ships and about a billion in loot, floating almost completely unprotected. The coup had been executed clumsily, but most of the leadership had been rendered lost or comatose. The still sleep somewhere out there in the black taken unaware by their own Odin's sleep.
For days I desperately collected the corp resources dismantling the POSes and moving ships as I found exits to high sec. I slowly made my way out of the wormhole I had called home. But my evacuation was not without losses. On the first night as I tried to move a party of Raiders captured a hauler with nearly 400 million in loot in it. I had seen them coming and in my hast to save other assets the hauler was left outside my remaining POS's shields. It was a rookie mistake and I can only blame myself for the loss, the gun should have been online.
Eventually I escaped without further lose. Those the strain proved to much and I too slipped into the void of oblivion. Darkness and dreamless sleep. The black of the ice that encapsulated me was complete. I was nowhere, I was nothing.
In that nothingness I floated. Aware of nothing, feeling nothing. But in such an absolute change cannot be measured without awareness. I don't know how long I watched the grain of light grow before I realized it was there. I do not know how long the fire of my anger and hate smoldered before they began to burn again melting my icy prison. But yesterday I awoke amid screams of pain and anger.
I surveyed my surroundings. I was back. It was as if not time had passed for me though to universe had moved on. Rumors before were now fact. Threats had become more real.
I sold what remained of my old corp and began anew.
I have no plans for grandeur. I will delve into the shatter systems of w space and I will live there alone. Seeing how long this frontiers will let me survive.
I will take my Svipul "Snarkhunter" and search out a system. I will have a mobile depot some cans and just the modules and ammo I need to survive. When I find high sec exits I go out to resupply but for now I will turn my back on the known and on the safety of friends and POSes. I will live where others only dare venture for a few hours.
Is that you Drak?
ReplyDeleteYou are not the one being alone. Sevillian had been flying in the frozen depths of space alone for quite a long time now. When he re-awekened from his coma, he realized, that he's still inside an old wormhole he was with his old corp, he was so fiercely fighting to make worth a while. His Tengu systems were half-offline, life support was failing. And the worst thing, was... he couldn't reach any of the beacons. Not the POS one, not the friendly IFF ship ones, he was alone. In his only ship, without modules and means to exit that cursed system. The only alternative left now that remains is probably death... cold death again and a blazing light of strategic cruiser, the last money he had eaten by the void. All modules, all ships, all matari glorious headhunter vessel he had, and his beloved Dramiel, lost, stolen, or scattered between his former compatriots. What will he do now?
~~ If thats you Drak, glad I somehow found you in the internet.
Young players, not experienced, and not having been able to fly some decent ships? I am quite dissapointed, you forgot about me, and didnt mentioned me. Yea, thats my younger account, but you can remember, that I had decent experience and did many things expected of an veteran players :> Anyway, about why I dissapeared - first, my pc died, so I had no contact and means to contant you outside of the Eve - second, I had family and job issues, that kept me away from playing. I hope you can read it and we can rejoice or talk in some way or another. Please, send me a mail to sevillian18@o2.pl with any means of communication with you, like facebook, twitter, anything. Or a skype.
