You're where the Wild Things are...

An in-character blog set in the universe of EVE Online. These are the private diary entries of Lady Ekaterina Mariya deSilvestris, a minor Amarrian Noble and Capsuleer. Other existing characters within EVE will be referred to throughout, though any opinions and views expressed are those of this character. These entries may touch on or directly address mature themes such as violence, sexuality, race and ethnicity, and mental health. As noted, any views are those of the character.

Before we begin, I feel it important to say a few words on the subject of mental health. Ekaterina, or Ekat as many call her, is something of a troubled soul. This aspect of her character is a personal choice I have made, for very personal reasons. Although EVE is a game in which the players can immerse themselves to a greater or lesser degree as they wish, mental health is a very real issue for many people. Those two simple words cover a myriad different issues and concerns that affect people directly or indirectly every day all, over the world.

If you find yourself affected by any issues touched upon in these posts, or if you face your own troubles, please know that there are people out there you can turn to; doctors, friends, family - there is ALWAYS someone. If you are an EVE player, then Broadcast 4 Reps chat is available, staffed by wonderfully kind and good-hearted volunteers. If you know of someone who has mental health issues, then please just let them know you are there. It doesn't have to be anything big, just a smile, a cup of tea, a quick phone call about last night's game - just a little thing to show they aren't forgotten.

Snovim Godam!

A New Year.  I wonder that this one will bring.

I honestly thought I would have been disciplined for my stupid error; but no!  If it was mentioned at all, it was in sympathy and understanding.  No, what has happened is, I suppose, praise, or at least recognition.  By Admiral Xideinis and Admiral Newelle!

They have been considering making some slight changes to   PIE's recruit progamme, and I, apparently, have been some sort of inspiration for that!

It was honestly only idle fitting-theory, and I did not in any way expect it to be any good. Yet, my fit for the Executioner during our Operation against the Sabik heretics seems to have been approved, with some minor modifications, as an introductory frigate fits for new recruits who may only have recently received their capsuleer licence.  It is inexpensive, and relies on speed to survive, and it's offensive capabilites are not so impressive, but it can tackle, and tackle well.  Even on my own during the Operation I had a noticable effect, according to the Admiral, and largely went beneath the notice of the enemy.  In numbers I should think it would be even more effective.

I never dreamed I would ever come to the attention of the Admirals like this.  It is such an honour.  I will endeavour to do better in the future, and become something PIE can be proud of.
