Day 18 20.07.cy113
wow i overslept. unfortunately the market was not kind to me and none of my sell orders sold and no one sold to my buy orders.
i spent most of the day studying my Gallente Frigate skillbooks and i went to lunch and socialized with an old friend with whom i've made quite a bit of art in the past.
once he left i continued my Frigate studies and learned a little more about how wormholes and warpdrives actually work.
following that i decided to put my foot down and i finally replaced my old Gallente Destroyer Subclavian with a brand new Amarr Coercer which i plan on naming Volar after the volar digital veins of the fingers. the Amarr Coercer reminds me of a hand of sorts, curved to pounce, so this seems like an appropriate name.
my new ship is sitting about 21 jumps away in the Carthum Conglomerate Production Plant in the Cleyd system. it's Amarr space, which i hate the feel of, but i dearly love their ship design. i think it's the horror that is behind them, the absolute sickness of humanity that the Amarr culture is, and thus where these ships were birthed.
i have just docked but i have a bit of studying i need to do before i can even begin to pilot my new ship. i think i'll get to that and then rest because it's been a long day and i am meeting with some art pals tomorrow again.

it's been a long day i visited with my parents back home and we socialized a bit. we even watched a Carl Sagan holovid together, it was definitely something special.
i made some strides today by purchasing two cruisers (though unfortunately i cannot fly them yet) thanks to a generous donation from my Sagan Clan pal Johim. two Thorax model cruisers to be precise.
after quite a few jumps (22 exactly) i went the furthest i've ever gone in New Eden from the Arnon system in Gallente space to the Mehatoor system in Amarr space. this is where i have my Thorax cruisers sitting while i train to use them.
after the 22 jumps back to Arnon, i met up with Mina and my corp buddy Damarius. Damarius kindly offered us assistance with our mission and we were able to clear out all 6 drone nests. i also learned from Damarius that i can use my Salvager I on the drone wrecks. i salvaged quite a bit of material (considering i am pretty proficient at salvaging due to my studies) and went to the Essence region to offload most of what i had recovered.
i am now headed back to Arnon for some much needed rest. it has been a long day and i'm beat.

so i met up with Mina and we continued our mission running for Sister Alitura. all was going fine and well until disaster struck.
i was flying Subclavian (Gallente Destroyer Class: Catalyst) and she was flying her Minmatar Destroyer Class: Thrasher. Sister Alitura sent us to recon on a mysterious drone who had jumped through a few spatial rifts on an earlier mission. we arrived at the site and all was quiet. we saw an acceleration gate and a swarm of drones. that was no trouble though, we took care of them rather quickly. we activated the gate and were thrust into a crowd of even more powerful drones. one hit me with a warpfield disruptor and another slowed me with a stasis field. my shields were weakening and my armor started to buckle but we were both able to warp out. i repaired my shields and armor and warped back in...this time we weren't so lucky,
same thing happened, surrounded by these powerful drones and firing away. we were both caught in statsis fields and we both tried to warp out but to no avail. my shields disappeared and my armor melted away. my hull started on fire and i knew i was done for. i began to scream, sure i had lost ships before, but not like this.
the drones ripped Subclavian to shreds but i was able to eject my Capsule safely (despite minor shield damage on it as well.) i warped out as fast as i could just as the same fate befell Mina. she too lost her Destroyer and was forced to warp back to station.
i was furious, furious at Sister Alitura, furious at the damn drones but most of all furious at myself. how could i lose a ship? i knew it was bound to happen eventually in this grand universe but why me? thankfully i had insured my ship to the utmost but unfortunately Subclavian was equipped with both my Salvager I and my Miner I so i have placed orders for new ones of those.
i have yet to replace Subclavian but i have set my sights on an Amarrian Coercer. i know the Amarr are slaver scum, but their ship designs appeal to me on some sort of subconscious level. i think it's the curves mixed with the harsh angles, they hold a sense of restrained violence.
this has been a learning experience, and i will definitely grow from this. i already have been given advice from a few random fellow capsuleers. i think i will petition my corp for further assistance tomorrow.

i went to work for Uadez again today. she seriously has some issues, she had me fetching teddy bears for her that some guy had stolen and hid and then she had me kill him and bring her his "skin suit." what a crazy universe we live in. out here amongst the stars morals are simply that which we use to justify our horrendous acts.
on a brighter note, i was accepted into the ranks of The Sagan Clan. i can only assume my surname brought me luck in the selection process, because who better to be a member than the long distant relative of the great Dr. Carl Sagan. some socializing was done and a few procedures i will keep to myself and the corps secrecy.
i also met with my art collective, Aorta VI, from the time before i became a capsuleer. it was good to see my old friends again and make some art together.
all in all it has been a good day, i've spent some ISK and acquired some too. it sure is a complicated life being a capsuleer amongst the New Eden stars.

i spent most of the day studying and had a bit of recreation time with this hologame called L.A. Noire. it seems to be cobbled together from bits and pieces we have gathered from the history of before the EVE Gate was even created. it's quite an amazing experience to be transported back to such a different place than we have now. today has just been a slow day but i enjoyed a bit of rest, which is always welcome in the life of a capsuleer.

i met with a friend today whom i hadn't seen in many months. it seems i have been doing that quite a lot recently, but when you are a capsuleer in training that seems to be the way of things. now that i am back into the real world and away from my studies i can reconnect with all those i lost touch with while away. it's been a fun and socializing experience, and i have regailed them with many a tale of my flights across the galaxy. holovids are always exciting, and there are many i missed while i was away at my studies.
i felt overcome with hunger and set out to have a grand feast. it was exceptional, from my favorite restaurant in New Eden, El Sombrero. it serves a sort of classic cusine from early in human history. it's been a joy to have in such close proximity. after that i met with my parents who i hadn't seen in some time. we watched a holovid of Carl Sagan's Cosmos and i bid them adieu.
now i am back to my space travels and am meeting up with Mina to continue our journeys and mission running for the Sisters of Eve.
we have returned after a long day of mission running, i think it's time i went to bed.

i have invited a longtime friend of mine to the capsuleer lifestyle and he may be joining me today. otherwise i am back to mission running with Mina.
it turns out he has a sickness that will require some monitoring to get under control. i have continued my studies in the meantime and am now finding myself too tired to write any longer.
