Studying violence

I've been busy the past couple of days, I guess it is about 6 now, plugging myself into a simulator to study the art of self defence. I won't lie I have considered and is very intrigued by the thought of killing some pirates, killing a hauler I can't really think of doing right now. I am convinced though that I will not cringe at the opportunity, but I am sure I would be a sucker for ransom i.e he'd get away cheap.

I've been testing the Minmatar frigates and T1 cruisers mostly the simulator does not reflect most of my freshest skills but I am updating the copy of my cortex on the simulator as we speak. I am quite delighted to have finally come this far i.e to finally be shooting at real people at the rate that I am doing right now, I feel empowered.

The story that sticks with me and have really made it's mark on me is that of a corp mate of mine, he is also part of the Corporation that we work for Aperture Harmonics AHARM for short. He recently killed a Caldari Heavy Assault Cruiser with an Assault frigate. The Caldari Heavy Assault Cruiser or Hac, was a Cerberus and he killed it with his Wolf. I truely enjoy the thought of being able to pilot something so quick and agile with enough fire power to be able to do that. I can definitely not wait for all those skills to be finally downloaded into my cortex so that the mere presence of my pod inside the said ship will make it so sturdy and destructive.

AHARM is a nice corporation, nice people, nice outlook on life, nice vision and we have grown so much. Living in a Class 5 wormhole, C5 as we refer to the classes, has brought on a few challenges, we used to base operations out of a C3. I now need to have help present to clear gas sites since the drones in these inhospitible systems are more beefed up but so is the loot, it just means less solo work. Gas sites or Ladar sites contain the gasses needed for the manufacturing of the steel required to build Strategic Cruisers. Strategic Cruisers are all the new rage ever since wormholes started forming after an incident that destroyed a whole solar system. No one is sure what caused the wormholes to form and what exactly killed that solar system and it's inhabitants, I am just thankful for the new lifestyle that suits me so well.But I still have to get around to a little more time in space to really reap the benefits, just a little busy with calculations and paper work at the moment necessary evils...

Back to the fact that I "enjoy" violence I don't have issues really, I just hate bullies, have always hated them. Not just because I was abused a fair bit, not even enough to mention really moreso the stupid abuse of power and the ignorance that goes with it, it absolutely infuriates me. People that don't see the need to think, or don't have the ability to, yet... Well that is basically the idea thus I look forward to be able to and to think myself able to hunt those who lurk on gates waiting for haulers. Them, pirates, used to killing all those ships with no guns only a big cargohold with someone's belongings and/or hard work inside suddenly having to fight for their lives, a nice thought. To think that it is actually lucrative to sit on a jump gate waiting for a T1 Hauler, something big, carrying a lot of goods and very slow and then killing it for a living. Sounds to me like gatecamping, just you are doing it for a living and you feel that you are the king of the gate - I would love to be able to change that.

My thoughts are to get comfortable with a Wolf and then for the next 3 months download all the necessary skills to support that together with my soon-to-come Strategic Cruiser a "Loki". While that is all happening, you will find me studying Violence.

I still need to get around to anchoring my POS so that the industry-side of things can start I know I have a few Blueprint Originals, BPO's, just begging to be bettered - researched so that the things they are a blueprint of will need less minerals to be manufactured. I still cringe a little at the thought of spending so much money since I need to buy licenses somehow but I also know that I have needed this opportunity for some time now. I am sure I'll get around somehow.

Augment my kingdom

Absolutely enlightened, permission from the top was granted and my access and privileges was changed accordingly. I can now launch my own POS (Player Owned Starbase) without assistance or clearance needed. My own piece of structural beauty, landmark and relative safety in this unforgiving live, I will grab it with both hands. My own structures anchored in space where I can conjure and put together ships and do research on them, hopefully this means more money, interstellar credits - dubbed isk - the blood of life.

This means I can finally realise, or at least try to realise, my plans of a corp ore-buy program to stimulate industry for the people that don't have corp-pve-ops going for them. I find solace in the prospect of being self sufficient in this remote ever-changing part of space and hope that I could benefit myself and the corporation.

We make a lot of money with killing "Sleepers" these technological marvel of drones that come in all sizes of ships, drone-size, frigate-size, cruiser-size and battleship-size. Selling their salvaged and hacked technology is really lucrative but there are times that I long for the "old" days when I used to mine and had the privilege to. It is not that killing sleepers are boring in anyways, I just don't get the feeling I get from creating something and accumulating. Killing sleepers in my new class 6 wormhole also means that I have to wait for a group, which is bad when I only plan to be in space for a few hours. But I am not complaining, I am just very excited at the prospect of staking my claim, locking up my ships, accumulating and creating at the same time - did I mention I have a passion for that?

On the other hand there are new concerns now, how will I get my starbase moved without getting killed by a pirate, then there is the other concern of fuel moreso the logistics thereof. But I'm not good at being pessimistic and this will not be the first time I have moved valuable assets through absolute risk.

On a side-note, well I deem it a side-note for now anyways the brain of this clone is almost done with downloading Minmatar Frigate level V, which means that I will be able to pilot a "Wolf". A "Wolf" is the Minmatar Assault Ship, an upgraded and researched form of frigate. Who knows how this might affect my career since I cannot say that I am not intrigued by hunting other pilots in space, killing them and taking from them just like they have done so many times from me. This won't be a case of revenge, I am merely dipping into the same mechanic that makes me hunt a sale. Morally speaking I will be going for pirates and hope to better my skills as such to find out if I was blessed with said talent.

Anyways, as I said this is just a side-note and I am just a dreamer. I'm just happy that I am able to augment my kingdom - and as with everything in New Eden, for now anyways.

The beginning of each day

Professor Snuggles closes his Bible, gets up from his bunk and walks over to his terrarium containing 7 "tamato plants". He plucks a ripe red fruit from the plant standing a little over half a meter tall bearing half a dozen more fruit of the same red color than the one in his hand. He takes a bite and savours the taste many consider it just too bitter or maybe it is just the fact that it dates back so far.

The seed that the plants come from was obtained from a ridiculous expensive deal that I made with some Minmatar slave who said he kept the seed since it reminded him so much of his homeland also informed me of the many medical qualities and well being that the daily eating of said fruit brings.

I have to say that I was a bit sceptical about these facts but my love for plants and science made the price I paid very small considering the joy I get from nurturing these seedlings to plants and the satisfaction I get from being able to eat my own work, if that makes sense to you. I also checked the effects it had on my body and it turned out that the slave was quite right but I am sure that he didn't know half the things I discovered regarding the advantages of "dosing" myself with this fruit.

While enjoying this taste that I have quite come accustomed to just as the many other variants of vegetables that I have growing in my upright shelf-like terrarium. I move over to my office chair and have an admiring look at my other bodies waiting for me.

You see I sell clones for a living, this body is one of about 5 "persons" that I have been all with differing career paths downloaded into their cortexes. The one that I am currently in is also just a temporary one till I will settle in a clone that I am finally content with. KQarberroh was the first one, but after realising that my growth as a pod pilot wasn't everything I wanted it to be I sold him for isk and settled in ZXohne.

I settled in ZXohne only till I had isk problems again and I had to part with him into a lesser skilled pilot called Arnand. While doing this I trained up KQorban but he was promptly sold for isk before I even ever used him.

The isk is good and downloading new skills while thinking of all the possibilities that might arise from living in said grown clone gives me satisfaction, very much like my bonsai collection that I have in my sleeping quarters. They truly are my favorite of all the plants I care for so much. So much character each with it's own way of wanting to be cared for, so absolutely beautiful by age.

I would someday gather the isk to buy KQarberroh back since I never felt anybody other than KQarberroh. All my old friends calling me KQ while mining for my first hulk's isk, they were 500mil back in the day and 500mil was just so far a goal. I just remember that I have never made such good friends together with that 500mil as I have ever made any billion that I have been making now. Then it is true what they say about anything in life, enjoy it because this too shall pass.

This too shall pass, just like the beginning of everyday
