Day 165 - Murethand

Bought 80k units of Consumer Electronics at 40ISK pu, just starting hauling them onto Nasreri to sell at 303ISK pu... 18 jumps per round trip and only 10 trips to clear them all..! lol... I must find better ways of spending my time...

Day 164 - Tourier

From one of the few observation lounges in the Republic Security Services, I watch a pilot maneauver their Iteron5 for warp...

I watch it from first seeing the nose appear from the Dock gates. Using the momentum from the dock ejectors the blue flame flickers as the engines are turned on and it heads straight out from the dock, engines at full throttle. Then, almost un-noticable, the blue flame intensifies an afterburner is switched on. The problem with these old Minmatar stations is the potential for the warp field not to fully form if the warp engines are engaged to close to the station, 'getting stuck' or seeing novice pilots, their engines throbbing against the gravity field of the station, the only winner physics. But not this pilot, this has been done to perfection numerous times, and ballet like, the craft turns in a spendid arc being fed by the engines. Sometimes watching the novices in there shiny new Ittys, I half expect them to break in the middle as they put the craft to un-necessary forces...

Momentarily, it seems, all motion stops, the blue flame flickers out, and then it becomes another diamond against the dust cloud, no trace of it ever being there...

Another 3 hours to wait as my runabout Tristan sits in the reapair shop, a few scratches on the Hull to remove and to have a set of Cold-Gas I Arcjet Thrusters fitted. Cat, unfortunately has become part of the great dust-cloud after we ran into a bunch of Warp Scrambling Drones, out gunned and unfortunately no where to run, hence my melancoly. So this Quafe Ultra is in respect of Cat, one hell of a good ship...
