Out here on the rim you take whatever jobs you find. I've just got a job that will take me even further out into the fringes of the galaxy for an extended stay. I've got the crew prepping the ship and getting the needed supplies. We should be ready to set sail in the next day or so. If this goes well there will be no complaining about not having any isk for awhile.
It's good to see the excitement in the crew again. The war got their blood pumping a bit and they performed exceptionally. I know this crew will do well on this mission regardless of where it leads us.

War Declared
It started off as one of our hulks getting ganked in empire space. Then followed the trash talk and ransom demands. Finally war was declared by a punk ass bunch of pusses from Advanced Missions and Marketing. Then came the war declaration from what is supposedly a mercenary corp paid by Advanced Missions and Marketing to help fight us. Our theory is that both corps are run by the same group of players.
To our utmost delight we mopped the floor with them. I don't think we lost a single ship in any of the skirmishes, beyond the initial Hulk anyway. In one night we had over 8 kills with no losses. They quit their corp, skipped town and we are chasing them down anywhere we find them. I think we're about to declare war on the corp they joined up just to keep them running.

Regrouped and Ready to Go
It emptied my wallet but we have a new ship. No more running around low sec and wormhole space unarmed, the new Stealth Bomber will see to that. Not that it's that great in PvP combat but at least I won't just be sitting there scratching my ass and watching my ship disintegrate around me.
Most of the crew stuck with me, at least my experienced operators. They understand the hazards of space travel and especially the hazards of this type of work. I'll be regrouping and trying to keep the corp together in what appears to be an extended absence of the upper management. It'll work out though, this is a good corp.

A Really Bad Day
First, we find out that the 52 Million isk deal we had arranged falls through because the corp we were selling the bookmarks to their lost POS backs out. Oh well, their lost. It just cost them 102 Million ISK to lose their POS. I thought Zan Industries could still gain from the find by destroying the POS and gathering up the defenses.
I was trying to arrange an op to get to the POS, blow it up and then haul out the defenses. Before I could risk a fleet getting to the POS through 11 systems of Nullsec I needed to scout the pipe. Two jumps out of high sec space I run into a warp bubble at the gate but manage to escape. The next system, the last gate before secure space, had another one and I wasn't so lucky.
We were attacked by a drake and there was nothing we could do. With no offensive or defensive modules onboard we didn't stand a chance. We were setup soley for scouting and recon and couldn't have handled anymore mods, even though I wanted to the ship just wouldn't handle it.
I've gathered up our new ship and am waiting for the crew to regroup at HQ. This time we'll be manning a stealth bomber and will hopefully have a bit more firepower. I don't like being a sitting duck. When it's a bad day in eve, it's a relly bad day.

Personal Log - Black Hole Worm Hole
The system I've been living in and exploring for the last week is a Black Hole system. I started out thinking it was a beautiful system and, it did start out that way. After being out here for so long now it has begun to take on a new look.
Imagine that black hole as it pulses with light and energy and see what it begins to look like to you. I'm ready for a new system.

Market Run
Finally caught a break. The latest wormhole took me into another unknown system which had a hole to high sec. I was able to run to a station and pick up more probes. I wasn't really running low but you can never have to many and we did end up losing a few over the past few days.
We're tucked back into the wormhole we've been exploring for awhile now. I'd like to get an op together of PVPers and a hauler to blow up this POS and claim the defenses.
Although short, I did allow the crew shore leave long enough to stretch their legs. We seem to be adjusting to life in unknown space and it is starting to feel like home. Trips to high sec seems like our sky is too crowded. It will be tough to keep the crew from getting complacent. Perhaps some surprise drills are in order.

Black Hole System
I've been exploring this new system for almost a week. It's loaded with all kinds of stuff. The only trouble is the wormholes leading out go deep into nullsec so far. I just found a new one that leads into more wormhole space. I may have to go there and explore for a whole that goes to low or high sec. Hopefully something close to HQ.
The crew is in good spirits, this system is quiet. There's an abandoned or lost POS. I've contacted the corp who owns it and plan to ransom off the location. I may try to strike a deal with them about using the POS or may just ransom it out right. I could also get some corp mates in here and blow it up and then put up our own.
I am about to launch the division by having a meeting and inviting a few scouts out to WH space as a training mission. We'll see how it goes.
