I thought that the engineers would need a few days to forge Phenod’s transponder, but Purkkoken Honuken gave me a call this morning asking if I was ready for the next mission in The Seven saga.

“You know what was in that sample bag that you brought to me yesterday?” asked Purkkoken when I entered his office.

I shuddered and said, “Phenod’s blood, I suppose.”

The agent made a dramatic pause, and blurted, “It was Quafe Red!” Continue reading “After the Seven – Ruse”

Three days after the rescue mission Purkkoken Honuken invited me to his office.

“Mate, you have no idea how lucky we are,” said Purkkoken by way of greeting.

“I actually do – for one thing, we are still here,” I replied taking a seat.

“I didn’t mean it in a philosophic sense. Listen, when The Seven kidnapped the passengers from that unfortunate convoy, they got more than they bargained for. One of the prisoners turned out to be a brilliant cyber security analyst who managed to hack into their ship operating system. She wasn’t able to take control of it but she got access to their communications log.” Continue reading “After the Seven – Idiot”

After sorting out the Paragon debacle, I called Aura, “Have you found out how IRIS hijacked our Neocom interface?”

Aura winced, “I have good news, bad news, more bad news and more good news. In which order do you want to hear them?”

“Logical, please,” I answered curtly. Continue reading “After the Seven – Company”

After the meeting with Lenka, Aura and I gave AIR Career Program some thought and finally decided to have a go at it. Aura reviewed the lengthy contract and confirmed that the information gathered by AIR would indeed be anonymised. I would be given a unique secret ID which only I could use to retrieve information about my progress and check the rewards. The progress would be tracked through so called career points. When a certain milestone was reached, a bonus reward would be allocated. Moreover, AIR also had daily goals and rewards which were used to focus capsuleer activity on a certain type of task which was of most interest for the researches at the time. On the whole, it looked like a cushy way to earn more kredits. As to my ethical concerns, the decisive factor which dispelled them was SOE’s support of AIR. I had huge respect for Sisters and trusted their judgement in ethical matters. So, to see the Career Program in action I decided to take a new mission.

The good news was that I was not eating anything when I got a call from Purkkoken Honuken, my almost favourite security agent. The bad news was that I was sleeping. It was a middle of the night and I seriously considered declining the call, but then I thought it had to be something so urgent that Purkkoken couldn’t wait for his customary breakfast-time chat with me. I took the call.

“You have exactly one minute to persuade me not to block your number, so skip the waffle,” I grumbled and yawned, loudly.

“Vlad, I have a really urgent mission,” blabbered the agent.

“I’ll be the judge of it. And you have just wasted five seconds of your allotted time.”

There was a momentary pause and then the speaker exploded, “People are dying! A mining colony is under attack!” Continue reading “Rogue Drone Harassment”

I was having my breakfast in the Navy canteen when a familiar figure approached my table.

“Mind if I join you,” asked Purkkoken Hanuken and, without waiting for my consent, plonked himself in the opposite chair.

He brought a tray covered with plates containing typical military fare among which I noticed a can of Quafe.

“You like that Gallentean staff?” I asked, wrinkling my nose. Continue reading “Soft Drink Wars”

I was catching up with my favourite security agent, Purkkoken Honuken, over a lunch and we were discussing the recent missions when a thought occurred to me.

“Listen, Purkkoken,” said I, “so far I have fought Blood Raiders, Gallenteans, Serpentis, Rogue Drones and even Sansha’s Nation, but there was not a single mission against Guristas. One would have thought that, being the resident scoundrels in Caldari space, they would be the main target of security enforcers.” Continue reading “The Guristas Spies”

Cargo Delivery

The recent combat encounters awoke my interest in a more aggressive side of a capsuleer’s life. I considered a mercenary career before but I chose exploration then. Now, after watching rogue drones, pirate ships and Gallentean spies disintegrate under the fire of my one-twenty-fives, I felt that turrets were a better use of high slots than core probe launchers. Having concluded that I wouldn’t mind taking my Cormorant out for a spin, I called Purkkoken Honuken and asked if he had any missions for me.

“Of course,” he exclaimed, “good timing, my friend. I have an urgent delivery request.”

“Sorry, wrong number,” I said, sarcastically, “I thought I was calling Purkkoken Honuken, a security agent, but I guess I was accidentally connected to his twin working in the Distribution and Logistics department.”

“Well,” said the agent, carefully choosing his words, “it is a delivery contract but it may have… complications.” Continue reading “Cargo Delivery”

“What?!” exclaimed Purkkoken Honuken when I told him the vintage that I expected him to buy for me, “I didn’t think you were drinking such an expensive wine alone!”

“Why not?” I asked nonchalantly.

“This kind of wine is typically bought for a celebration and enjoyed with a company of friends. It’s too expensive to drink as your everyday table quaff.”

I shrugged, “I am a capsuleer, I can afford it.”

“But I am not! Why didn’t you tell me that you were drinking Gallentean sparkling?”

“Why didn’t you tell me that the Navy was paying just for 3 hours of my ‘holovid watching’?” I retorted. Continue reading “The Drone Infestation”
