Intergalactic Summit

I'm otherwise deployed, stats retrieved from resources:

Lowsec entry, class 1 wormhole. wormhole entries exist for 24 hours. I'll see if I can't get a scanner ship out here to work on finding an entry. No promises.

Also found info on former inhabitants within the past few months, sending requests for information...

Edit: ive gone and put a few token resources to the task, no promises or assurances. If anything more happens, ill let you know.

Locating wormholes is a dicey business even without a time limit.

I cannot deviate far from my patrols but should I see such a WH I will most certainly help someone in need.

I thank you all for your kind words and good will.

Tech4 has now issued an official appeal to mount a search and rescue operation. It can be heard on our GALNET site here.

Mielikki's fate is now in the hands of others.

Indeed, even though she may have supplies for a couple of weeks this will be no walk in the park to locate the correct system.

I have also re-assigned a covert operative who is between operations to assist in the search. And have put out requests with various contacts to be on the lookout for J100040.

Hang in there Mielikki!

In order to interest people further that may otherwise ignore this, I will put up one hundred million isk for her safe return if delivered to me personally.

That is, 100,000,000 Interstellar Kredits.

perhaps a collaborative effort? towards the chain collapse plan atleast on execution part. i have no real interest in the Isk reward. but i do enjoy listening to T4's broadcasts and return of mielikki into there would be preferrable over the obnoxius buffoon Paydas.

id be willing to work in collaboration with others

Agreed.

Unfortunately, due to the fact the Raskaan Veyden was attacked in a Class 1 system, it will actually be somewhat more difficult to find her. The normal technique for locating a specific wormhole space system is what is known as "chain collapsing", where a static wormhole of the appropriate class is collapsed and re-scanned repeatedly until the correct system turns up on the other side. However, the ratio of total mass to per-jump mass of a Class 1 is very high, especially for the predominant static Class 1 wormholes. This makes collapsing them a much more lengthy proposition.

Assuming the lowest-mass class 1 wormhole type, the Z971 with its 100 million KG overall mass (which a gang of 4 capsuleers can collapse at a pace of roughly once every five minutes), is being rolled at maximum rate ((OOC: and not factoring in server downtimes)), and given that there are 348 Class 1 wormhole space systems in the general cluster, it would take 29 hours of nothing but rolling holes to get 348 chances. This is clearly a problem; having multiple people rolling C1 statics would be helpful, HOWEVER, the Z971 is the only 100 million KG wormhole in existence (all other wormholes leading to Class 1 space have 500 million KG of total mass) and it is rare: my search of the StaticMapper database has only turned up one system (a class 2 black hole) that has a Z971 static (said system also has a static wormhole leading to hisec).


That being said, static wormholes follow a uniform distribution when selecting their destinations. So, every time someone scans down a C1, they have a 1 in 348 chance of finding Mielikki.

P.S. I will notify my corporation and alliance of this matter, and see if they would be willing to join in lending their assistance.

I've spent a week searching the northern Kahnid lowsec systems, no sign of J100040.

For the first time I can remember, I'm actually concerned for a complete stranger, and a neutral at that. I have no idea why.
