So today I was cruising the belts in Eitu, looking for interesting salvage opportunities. And I zoomed into this one belt just as an Omen and a Rupture made a failed gank attempt on one Hulk pilot by the name of Paragon Prime.

They had some flashy red pods, but in my combat Crane, I didn’t expect them to be stupid enough to wait around for my heavy missiles. Nor were they. They warped away, followed quickly by the Hulk pilot (who probably went in for a change of underwear and a pod-swabbing).

And then I noticed the Hulk pilot had some ore cans littering the spaceways. So I consolidated them into an almost-full Ironfleet can, and docked for a Bustard.

And then there was a pleasant exchange of mails, while I was hauling my new ore:

Ore freak? Is that like a militiaman or an exotic dancer? I’ve never seen one of those…

    I knew it would have been a mistake deleting your feed from my reader. Welcome back! Playing EVE vicariously through your blog is almost as good as having time for the real thing :)

  2. Marlenus says:

    Kind of you to say so, Malphas! And yeah, this blog is prone to four-month inactivity gaps between bursts of posts — this was the longest, but it was by no means the first!

    Welcome back , how you were missed. I thought the game a little less “fun” without the “tears” you brought. Love the this Blog. ;)
