After all that… all those hours spent loading, launching, warping, docking. dying … after all that, our fish is in something with a jump drive.

Within seconds, it's here and in the hands of some of the Federation's finest culinary experts, where those succulently smoked and sautéed and skewered atoms permeate the domed terraces, filtering out downward before they're slowly muted by the dull mix of cheaper breads and spices. I try to imagine just how many different atoms, from how many different planets, must be colliding around here right now. Cosmologically speaking, Jita must be a meeting ground for them like no other place ever before it, in all of human history. All because of isotopes, cynosural fields, and jump drives. Think about that the next time you're dropping off for a bite.

This is really a prime example of good immersion, and probably world-building.

Your thoughts on the 18 names before Otro Gariushi?

Your question had me reading 'Ruthless', about Otro going from Guristas to Ishukone in a very unusual way. (And introducing the Raven)

Ruthless

Has me wondering, though, I figured Jita was established before this story, so maybe the 'temp numbers' came after him. The 18 before? Since his was the first civilian one, then they'd likely be the Caldari Navy folks that set the system up.


I know CCPs finances have been tight, but it's too bad that quality work like these stories isn't on the radar much. At least it's being kept available.
