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.
