Crime & Punishment

And thus we damned our souls.

When a young confident but hopelessly naive pilot asked to join our ranks, boasting of his 3.5bil Golem, we accepted him gladly into our bosom, and invited him to join us in a good old level 4 mission.
he promptly came out, and rushed to our side, where we hastily granted him the role of starbase equiptment manager (accident insurance) and proceeded to relieve him of his Golem by means of forced ejection and pod destruction.
revelling in the spoils of our skullduggery, the young member seemed to be taking things rather well. He asked if this could serve as his trial for joining the corp.

seeing possibility for further skullduggery but not quite being in the mood to relieve him of his caracal, we told him his golem had been jump freightered into our nullsec POS, located in Russian Sov Nullsec.

The young trusting trooper proceeds to make his way deep into the heart of nullsec with his trusty caracal, whilst we flaunt his mighty golem back in the comfy realms of Dodixie.

Upon arrival in said 0.0 system (which we did NOT expect), we mentioned that he should launch his probes to find our Wormhole.
"you did bring probes right?"

So our little trooper goes the 25 jumps back to highsec, to pickup a probe capable ship, and proceeds to make the entire journey all over again. Although dying this time.

But oh no, our man is determined to see his golem again! he attempts the voyage a third time, this time making it back to nullsec with a prober and an Iron Will of determination. He probes every signature in the system and finally, finds his prize, the wormhole.

...which happens to be a highsec bridge that takes him to within 4 jumps of Dodixie.

.....At which point his 24 hours of Starbase equiptment manager is up, and we promptly remove him from our corp and wish him on his merry way.



On reflection, I almost feel bad for him. But then I remember this is Eve, and say Time well spent.

See you all in hell.

I... I love you. This is wonderful.

Clearly, the eve-gods wanted him to have his Golem back. Now that you've defied their wishes, you will indeed burn forever in Eve-hell (also known as Providence)

Well done, the narration was almost as good as the content

You should be afraid. If he was willing to go through all that just to join, imagine what he'll do to get revenge.

Junior showed a ToN of heart (if maybe not so much brains) I'd certainly fly with him.

In my experience, heart is rather easy to come by in this game. Not so much good sense.

He was a trooper alright, but a gullible sod. we figured this was grounds enough for teaching him the true nature of the game and that we were in fact doing him a service. ;)

Awww you made a lil boy cry.

You're such rockstars!!!

And you made a post about, super cool!!!

Did your moms give you a cookie for this one? I hope so you truely and surely earned it.
