Gods of Eve, hear my plea
I've no religious history
But I find myself a man in need
Stranded far from home indeed

The tale began early last night,
When many c4 sleepers we did fight,
A Nightmare and four RR Tengu make
Formidable PVE'ers and no mistake

But on noticing our wormhole was almost crit
We decided that the best remit
Would be if the Nightmare stayed and lurked
While the Noctii did their work

With a Daredevil vigilantly standing by,
To catch any stealth bombers that might try
To interrupt us as we basked
We started in our salvage task

But as one Noctis made it home
The other one was almost done
Returning back, the crew were tired
The hole, once EOL, expired

...

Through the system's own C4,
Scan probes were deployed once more
Bittersuite victory was to come
The only hole, their static C1

With the Daredevil, Noctis and Heron through
The hisec link the C1 led to
A CovOps unto the Nightmare returned
To assist passage forth with lesson learned

And so we pray the Gods cajole
To bring a Nightmare-worthy hole
To take us from this barren place
And bring us back to Empire Space

Can't help with an exit, +1 for the flowery prose though.

I presume you have a scanning alt in with the nightmare or at the very least a probe launcher fitted to it? Have you tried sacrificing an exotic dancer to the WH gods? we used to jetcan one every week or so to ensure plentiful respawns of fat sleeper sites.

In the beginning there was nothing, which exploded.

Yeah I've got another character in there in a covops. Big smile

The second c4 hole also had a static c1... hopefully tomorrow's will yield better results.

Divine intervention would be on its way
had you managed to hold your meter.
Instead, everything you had to say
was intercepted by Saint Peter.

We must accommodate the idiocracy.

Day 1: C4 w/ P090 (c1) static and no k162's
Day 2: C4 w/ P090 static and no k162's
Day 3: C4 w/ P090 static and no k162's

The Gods are laughing at me.

(To steal from Voltaire)

Well, I'm stuck in a wormhole, looking for the door
When suddently it dawned on me I've seen this show before
Perhaps I'm in a warp bubble and slightly out of phase
'Cause it was way back in the sixties when they called it "Lost in Space"

Thread moved from General Discussion, which is, frankly speaking, not worthy of such fine poetry. :)

Aaaand I'm out.

Hooray!

Today's C4 had a C4 static.
That C4 was empty and had a C2 static
That C2 had a C2 static
That C2 had a Hisec static and a Hisec K162, both EOL

By the time my nightmare got there, the static had expired (LOLs) but the k162 was still there, so I'm out and home free.

Ayyy. Thanks Eve Gods! I'll explain my plight in poetic form every time in future. Cool
