-at in the world? Dammit. Is this thing on? Aura, confirm recording.

Confirmation: Voice recording processing, Captain.

Right. Ok, then.

I don't really get out much, folks - so here's hoping I programmed this damn thing right. If it ain't a targeting system or a blaster, I'll be well and truly damned if it ever seems to work right for me. I'm hoping this transmission gets processed through the right comm nets to get to the other capsuleers.

Look, what in the sam hell is going on? I finally bothered to stick my nose outside of the wormholes I've been living in - yes, I know, that means I might as well be living under a rock as far as Empire politics is confirmed - and hear damn near everyone I know going on about Annoikis, Thera, and god alone only knows what.

Can someone give me the rundown and use small, Captain Dummy Talk words?

Like... logically, I know that i should know more about the world I'm flying in, but when you're living from day to day and fight to fight it can be easy to get lost. Hell, there times where I don't see known space for weeks, if not months.

Alert: Microwarpdrive overheat warning, thermal damage at 97.3%. Critical failure in 30 seconds.

God damn it, Aura, every time I try to go and be all eloquent and shi-

Science defying splody' star thing happened.

then some brainstorming about what it could possibly be happened.

then a reigon of space was confirmed destroyed thing happened.

then more debates happened.

then new wormholes happened.

then we named one wormhole "Thera".

now people are shooting each other. Just another day in the life buddy. Move along, nothing to see here.

Receiving you loud n' clear here sir.

You speak of an aversion to Empire politics as if it's a bad thing? It's the main reason I live in Anoikis, which shouldn't be confused with Thera. Well it's honestly not why I live here, I just go where the boss lady goes, but yeah ....

Anyway the short story is SOE did some experiment, things went bang, now everyone is invading some system and hating on the Sisters. Meanwhile for the rest of us sane people life goes on as normal.

Tyrel - How in the hell does someone destroy a region of space? Wait, no, dammit, don't go warp to zero on the gate ca-

[Message forwards]

Candi - Let me make sure I got this right. I mean, I've got lots of formal education - can thank the Federation Navy for that, yessir, but uh.. Annoikis is the term we're using for w-space, right? And Thera's one, specific, wormhole? Might have to go find me that. Definitely in something that cloaks.

Commentary: Without overheating your cloak this time, Captain.

Shut up, Aura.

Aye, that is the term most people use for wormhole space.

However the only traits Thera shares with the hundreds of other Anoiki systems is that you reach it via wormholes, and it's located a very long way from known space. Oh, there's sleepers and stuff there too, but good luck trying to cull or farm them.

Other than this Thera, with it's stations, nullsec blobs and local chat to rival Jita, is in no way similar to any other part of Anoiki.

As my room-mate Jack said "anyone who thinks Thera is a WH system is highly deluding themselves".

So do we know what the hell the Sisters did? Do we need to go bring them some good old fashioned Gallente Freedom? I'm sure I got an assault frigate laying around here somewhere.

Notification: Incorrect, Captain. It was blown up on your last attempt to extract ransom money from a strategic cruiser.

I... knew that. I think. I'm sure I've got a spare hull somewhere out in k-space.

Commentary: Yes, Captain. Your hangar bay rivals the holovid hoarders programs.

In unrelated news, any idea how to turn off my on board computer and still fly this thing?

Transmission signal blocked, resend data......failed.....

switching on manual override in T-minus 20 seconds.....please wait while system reboots.

Susbsection Alpha Primary console System coughs and splutters and blinks on.


Saint Celeste moves the control panel closer to the inbuilt microphone and begins tapping the keyboard...

moments later a Concord Police vessel appears. the aggressors appeared to either fight or run, but they weren't tough enough or quick enough in their hasty retreat.

the Concord vessel makes contact

"thank you Capsuleer 50201A912 designation rank explorer 3rd class sub-level officer, we now have removed those pesky gate campers from your destination is now clear for transportation, our scanners show have been utterly destroyed and cannot find any more threat in the local area of Low Sec, you can now proceed to your Planet Extraction plant"

Saint Celeste ends com's with Concord and proceeds to warp to the Planets under her reign.

transmission ends suddenly....as one pirate was in cloak and......

a white plasma light engulfs the viewscreen, moments later a new clone re-awakens somewhere in Amarr Empire Space.
