I Get By With A Little Help From My Friends

YC113.11.14

Scanning = profit.  Who knew?

And it looks like the guys at WHEN may serve a purpose after all too!  We managed to work together to convince the wormhole in our system to collapse, which gave me a chance to prove my new worth.  Got the scan probes launched - those Sisters probes are certainly worth the few extra bucks.

Found a new hole that popped up, jumped through, and bingo - loot everywhere!  I started scanning the system, and found a few interesting things.  The WHEN folks jumped in too, and had a look at the locals living there.  They seemed to not be at home, since there was no response.  And bonus - there was a nice shiny medium defense system just floating there.  Riyu (the WHEN fleet lead) gave me the heads up, and out came the Itty to make a quick freight haul - boom, instant profit!

Even better, the system had rocks to chew on...  And I showed that I can learn too!  I remembered what the boss had said about Sleeper fleets often protecting the rock belts, so Mr Smartypants here remembered to bring out the Mrym and take care of business before rousting the Hulk crew and getting down to making some real money.

All this work with WHEN has me wondering though - just what’s their motivation for being out here?  

I’m still not sure why boss set up in the hole, and I know for damn sure I got no clue why Kyber is out here...  I wouldn’t be surprised if one followed the other, but I don’t know which order that would have been - which one is the ship, and which one the docking bay, as it were...

But WHEN’s a complete wild card.  I don’t know when they got here - before or after those other two.  And I don’t know why they’re here either - profit, hiding, just hate the confines of civilization?  Even more important, what do they know about Kyber and his friends?  When the asteroid dust hits the jet intake, which side will they be on?

And then there’s James...  All these new experiences and skills I’ve been learning out here has me wondering: is there anything I can do from here to help James and his agenda?  Is there anyway to help the Gallente while being this cut off?
