So, while my Vherokior friends are all enjoying their special issue Vherokior Probes, Santa brings me a pee-yellow Imicus! Santa, have I really been such a bad girl that you would do this to me. No more cookies and milk left in the hangar for you buddy!

A mystical gift giving spirit. I believe the Amarrians refer to it as Saint Nicholaus.

The mysterious spirit gifted me with a Sarum Magnate....

I think the spirit was trying to teach us the virtue of giving and sharing. I gave and in turn received from others until I eventually got a Vherokior Probe.

I am also a human, straggling between the present world... and our future. I am a regulator, a coordinator, one who is meant to guide the way.

Never mind Seraphim. The next time you enter the pod check your contracts.

You mean you guys got one too? I thought I was getting advances from Jamyl for a moment.

I'm not rightly sure, but it seems to have something to do with an Amarr religious figure called Saint Nicholas the Destroyer.

I think "the Destroyer" is probably the Sabik version.
Perhaps that's what inspired Quafe to create Sansha Claus? Or that is some rumour I heard anyway. I think. There's so many myths, traditions, legends and commercializations crossing over into eachother, I can hardly keep up.

But whoever the mysterious gift-bringer is, why did he hand out shirts with my corporation logo on it, and why did he not give me one?Sad

Saint Nicholaus the Vengeful was a terrible warrior, who fought for the Amarr for years. Ancient texts speak of him as amongst the first ever Capsuleers, and how he tested the immortality of these legendary pilots. He could not be beaten in battle, and neither was it believed he could be beaten by age.

So mighty was Nicholaus that the only way to get at him was through his family. His wife was slain by blasted primitives, leaving Nicholaus with his only son, Nicholaus Junior. In his rage, Nicholaus Senior went on a rampage, wiping out countless worlds in his vengeance; earning his title "the Vengeful". However, once he had finished taking lives, Nicholaus gave his own, committing final suicide by deactivating his medical clone and self-destructing in his flagship, the Dauntless.

His son took this example, of giving rather than simply taking, to the extreme. Nicholaus Junior became Saint Nicholaus the Charitable, and is said to bring young capsuleers gifts each yuletide. Many Amarrian scholars have been frustrated by this discrepancy between a star-destroying maniac and a spirit of good cheer; the simple fact of the matter is that there were two.

Other names for the Senior of the two might include the Destroyer, amongst others.

Give a man a match and you warm him for a day.

Set a man on fire and he's warm for the rest of his life!

Someone must have broken into my hangar the other day. They must have been surprisd by the guards and fled without their ship. That's the only explanation I can think of for the scabby old Imicus that I found there.

I demand an enquiry by the station authorities. This sort of thing should not be allowed to happen.
