Wanderlust - Part 2 of 2

Well I know, I miss more than hit
With a face that was launched to sink
An' I seldom feel, the bright relief
It's been the Worst Day Since Yesterday
Flogging Molly - The Worst Day Since Yesterday

Part 1

The cloak held.

I was quite thankful of that fact as I arrived and saw a number of strange ships flying around. They bristled with weaponry and moved at insane speeds. I just as quickly turned tail and ran back to the wormhole.

Unfortunately upon arriving I discovered it had dissapeared. I still don't know why. I dropped my probes and began to search for an exit.

After a few hours, another wormhole appeared. I entered.


The system was amazingly beautiful, but still outside of known space. I was just happy to be far away from the monstrosities in the last system. I dropped probes again and began to look for a new wormhole.

Another few hours later, I found it and exited into known space. Into high security Amarr space. Twenty Six jumps from Evati.

I began the long but hurried trek home as faction police chased me from system to system. I finally arrived and sighed.

Exploration is hard.

OOC: I'm particularly proud of that screenshot I took as well. Made it into a desktop background.

Wanderlust - Part 1 of 2

'Cause you are not alone,
And I am there with you,
And we'll get lost together,
Till the light comes pouring through,
'Cause when you feel like you're done,
And the darkness has won,
Babe, you're not lost,
Michael Buble - Lost

Most of you have already heard the news. I'm glad to say I didn't know anyone on Seyllin One. For so many to die so quickly, it's almost unthinkable. I took the time to trek to the dead world.


The wormholes that've appeared all over New Eden are the most likely culprits. I've a working knowledge of astrophysics, enough to know that it's likely that a wormhole opened up near Seyllin that connected to the interior of a star. A bit of bad luck and that could've happened in where I live in Evati.

The best thing to do in such a situation is to get back to living, so I hopped into my Cheetah. I proceeded to hunt down a Radar site in Todifraun. After ripping off the Angel Cartel for about twenty million isk, I started running my probes again. In Akkio I found it.


I could not resist the urge, and traveled through. I came out in unknown and unexplored space. A ringing alarm that I'd never heard before started as my ship sensors adjusted. As my systems came back to life I checked the alarm. It was a gravitational anomaly alert. A black hole was only a few light years out.



I warped to a planet and made a bookmark between. I then doubled back to my bookmark and deleted it. Then I warped to another planet, repeating the process, but renaming this bookmark as a safe spot. I released four probes and cloaked.

I made sure to deactivate three of the probes, and took the other out to start my process of searching.

Very shortly I found an asteroid belt with some strange signatures coming from it. I order my Cheetah to warp to the location and the strange readings became stronger as I approached.

A sense of dread filled me as I came into visual range of the asteroids.
