Charlie Foxtrot

What a Charlie Foxtrot (Cluster Fuck). We did manage to get one gun functional and ammo loaded and it did manage to take out one of the gorram mercs seiging us. These guys were well equipped, motivated and organized. Although I missed the battle thanks to the corporate charity event I was forced to attend I did hear we put up at least a bit of a fight for them. In the end it was not enough, the POS fell.

The worst part is that Frenchies now possess my favorite hauler, Karma Train II. I'm glad I farted in the seats a lot but doubt they will notice the smell. Frenchies smell bad anyway. Time to get back to HQ, gather my ships that are scattered about and plan for the retribution that will come at a time and place we dictate.

I bet the gorram bastards are drinking our alcohol as well. Their day will come and I hope to have a front row seat.

Gorram Corporate Functions

Despite my pleas that my corp mates needed my assistance this evening my wife drags me off to some high and fancy tadoo at fleet headquarters. Some charity drive she was involved in had to celebrate the end of a money making campaign.

The POS is scheduled to come out of reinforced mode this evening and an attack is imminent. One thing I've learned though, Mercs or not once my wife gets it in her head she needs to show me off there's no since in arguing. At least they'll be an open bar so I'll get those drinks I've been needing the last couple of days.

Where's the Spirits

Evidently the frenchie we killed had friends in high places. We blasted this guy when we found him lost in the WH space. It was his fault, he refused to get out of his ship.

The joke is on us though as it appears he had some affiliation with the corp that has the POS setup in the WH. They hired a Merc corp to come in and remove us from the system. Just like the French not to be able to fight their own battles, that's a fact that goes back to the Earth that was.

Unfortunately, it does not appear that the merc corp are French. They have their shit wired tight and we did not. We had some defenses out but had never loaded the guns and had a lot of the defenses still inside the hangar bay. When I woke up this morning and tried to make my way to the POS I found that we were locked out AND the POS was in reinforced mode.

We're trying to get the guns repaired and new ammo in as the ammo we brought is inside the offlined Hangar bay. Evidently anything that draws power goes offline when the POS goes into reinforced mode. The worst part of it all, all the alcohol is locked up in that offline hangar bay. Damn I need a drink.

Setup and Mining

The Tower is up after pulling an all nighter, the crew is beat but satisfied. To celebrate we've started running a small mining op. The other POS in the system has shown no activity and we're gearing up for mining operations. This has been too easy, I have a funny feeling something is about to go down.

Operation Alice

I'm down the rabbit hole and the burrow is looking good. It all happened so fast it's unbelievable. 3 months of planning and then POW it's here. The crew is excited and I'm glad I brought 250 cases of alcoholic beverages.

We're in the midst of the setup but so far all has gone great, I hope I didn't just jinx us. More as the night progresses.

Daily Grind

Some days you win, some days you don't and lately I haven't been winning. I've had fun, but I haven't been winning. Exploring and finding wormhole space is tediously grueling. I've been taking breaks and chilling out by trying to blow things up, mostly PVE missions.

The prepping for the Op is going well and it's getting larger everyday. We're into the final preparations and the logistics that will be needed are pretty staggering. We should have a pretty defensible outpost setup. The hardest part is finding the right system at the right time.

We've got the best pilots in the corp involved, the most dedicated pilots. Nothing less than a successful operation is possible with these pilots, they accept nothing less.
