I dreamed I was a majestic Thorax flying through the vastness of space. Weightless as I roamed through the heavens, my blue and green paint job gleaming in the light of the Gallente region nebula. After what seemed like an eternity, I came across another ship in the void... a shabby looking mining barge.

I had been alone for so long, I felt an instant attraction to this companion soul I had finally found.

With much haste and excitement I rushed to its side, and as soon as I touched it.. it recoiled. "Come back!" I yelled into the vacuum as I approached it again. Once again it recoiled as I touched it, moving a little further away this time. "Please!" I begged, "Please come back.. you complete me!". I activated my Microwarp and chased after the piece of my soul that was sailing away from me. Again, away it flew as I touched it.

My heart sank. Why.. why do you do this to me! I just want to be friends!

Once again I sang my heart out into the darkness. "I just want to be with you...". All I ever received back was silence.

One last time I chased my soulmate down, overloading my engines in order to be closer to it, to be with it, to touch them once more. As our hulls touched, sparks flew, and away my love flew.. far away this time.

Rejection started to get to me. Was I destined to be all alone in this universe? I watched from afar this time as they slowly came to a halt. We were over 80km from our original rendezvous now, the belt seemed far behind us. I watched the screen.. waiting for a reply, anything.. a blinking light.. something. Nothing..

My scanner flared to life.. could it be? Yes! two more ships were in the vicinity! Joyous day! With a dull thud, the two emerged from warp, five kilometers from my friend. Giddy with excitement I spoke a salutations into the com terminal.

The reply came swiftly. "Thank you my friend for your work." the gruff voice announced.

"My work?" I questioned.

"Yes, it appears that this miner has no permit. We also monitored your communications and noticed it to be a one sided conversation. We suspect the pilot is away from the cockpit at the moment, possibly asleep, possibly watching a holoreel, either way they are not where they should be. You also bumped them far from the belt, and they did nothing to attempt to return. So you see, you have done us a great favor, and you shall be rewarded."

I watched in horror as the two ships opened fire on my companion, stripping away its shields and armor with ease. Open wounds in the hull poured flame as the atmosphere contained within was sucked out. Moments later the bright flash of its reactors going critical filled my vision. When my vision returned, my companions ship was reduced to a smoldering wreck. Tucked down inside, barely visible from my window was the faint green glint of a pod. My companion had survived!

I called out to him.. hoping.. a response is all I wanted.. let me know you are alive!!! Nothing. How could all of this happened without my friend noticing? Could they be so absent that even the ship exploding around them failed to wake them or even get their attention?

A second later, some blaster fire penetrated the wreckage and found its mark, and the pod was destroyed. My friend was truly gone now.

I watched as the two other ships warped away. What should I do now? I searched the wreckage of my friend and found many viable modules within, unfortunately, none of them were a defensive module. Had my friend failed to fit his ship with any amount of tank? Had he cared only about the amount he could mine instead of the welfare of his vessel? Sadly I scooped all of the useful bits my friend had left behind, and my salvage drones picked the hull wreckage clean. My last act before I warped off was to collect the floating corpse of my friend. At least now... I wouldn't be alone anymore.

Later on, I remember my wallet blinking. Those two men who had killed my friend had transferred me some money. 10 million ISK. I got 10 million ISK for watching my friend die.

I then looked in my cargo at the corpse of my friend.. Well, I better not let this go to waste. I punched in a command to a servant drone to bring the corpse to my quarters. I hope I had some clothes that would fit her.. because the tea party we were about to have would be awkward if she was naked.

..and then I was woken up by the FC yelling "BUBBLE THE GATE!!!!!". We caught a shuttle.. the best kill of the evening.


That was beautiful. Truly moving. I hope the tea party went off without any problems.

De'Veldrin's Corollary (to Malcanis' Law): Any idea that seeks to limit the ability of a large nullsec bloc to do something in the name of allowing more small groups into sov null will inevitably make it that much harder for small groups to enter sov null.

Maybe I have. Spaceships, sci-fi and sci-fact in general is my life though, and people tend not to dream about what's perceived as just regular old stuff to them.

I did recently dust off my Diablo II LOD CD and install it for a demon killing marathon. I had some seriously intense dreams that night.

I had one where I was traveling south down the 101 Freeway, north of Los Angeles towards the city. A large fleet battle with 3 titans was forming up overhead above the freeway. Titans shaped like wire-frame dirigibles were appearing as I pointed to them from the car. I am driving the car and tell the people I am with that I am flying the sabre overhead.

I am in a sabre and I tackle one of the dirigible titans, wondering why I have warp scrams on my sabre. I'm orbiting, pulsing my mwd and marvel at my ability to hold orbit and not get hit. My fleet focuses on the other two titans which eventually escape. The remainder of my fleet focuses on the one titan I have managed to keep from escaping.

Suddenly the titan disappears and I realize we've killed the titan and it has crashed into a nearby mountainside. I am running with my ex-wife through the woods up a hillside. The titan has crashed into the side of steep hill and collapsed like a deflated blimp. It's tangled in trees that grow off the side of a steep mountain. My ex throws a GPS diode on the side of the hill to indicate the site of the wreck. I say that's not good enough and climb the hillside to get next to the titan so I can loot it or get credit for the kill.

Other people from the wreck are climbing the hillside to close to the wreck. With great effort, I strain, grab the trunk of a jungle tree growing off the side of the hill and pull myself above the rest of my squad who do not begrudge me the spot on the hill next to the wreck. A man I used to work with who was in on the kill sits below me and to the side. He looks at me and says that Eve makes friends of real life enemies and the killmail photo is taken while we all grin.

I dreamed that PLEX was 350 mil again and ICE as static again....

You Miners think you have it so damn tough.  When I first started playing we didnt even have mining lasers.  You had to fly close to an asteroid.....pop a hatch and gnaw at it with your teeth.   - Bitter Vet

I once dreamed I took back 6 sexy ladies from the club, but they were all Gallente cruisers and battlecruisers.

I wish I was kidding.

I remember dreaming about being caught in a gate camp, although couldn't remember much details when I awoke. I just remember feeling like I was going to die. Like actual death. Scary.

Sometimes yes, had one last week. I was warping to some kind of wormhole/DED site combination with a friend of mine, the gate looked like the Jita monument. Atfer jumping through, it was a very vivid and organic dimension, with nebulas blocking sight all around, and ships just pooring in from all sides, with some kind of weird station construct that seemed to be infinite in size.

We tried to find the exit but were seperated. The next moment I could not hear him speak anymore. The station grew around me, preventing me from moving. The ship was destroyed, but I was not podded into the normal universe. My capsule respawned right in the middle of that hostile nebula without an updated clone. I saw my skillpoints go down fast as they shot me time after time after time, then the dream was over.

After waking up I had to own a DED site to feel better...

I can't say that I have, maybe I did but don't remember. I can say that I think about EVE while laying in bed trying to sleep, bad thing about these type of games is that they're addictive. Particularly bad when you're a addict by nature. All I want to do is play EVE, and when I'm not I'm thinking about it.
