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.

You Never Fly Alone.

Another operation against the Sabik heretics today.  Still they insist on encroaching into our Motherland, skulking in dark corners, spreading their fear and heresy.  Yet we, the Faithful, Chosen of God, shall burn them out.

There were many on the operation today, including PIE allies.  Directrix Aspenstar and her assistant, Aria, invaulable Logistics support as always, and other, newer, allies, including a newly licenced capsuleer who, I admit, rather caught my attention.

My Executioner fit got another field-test, and not just by myself.  At least one other capsuleer was using it.  We destroyed two heretic FOBs, for the loss of only two or three Executioners.  I feel this was more than fair exchange.

The most amusing moment was when that new capsuleer joined in the final assault on the second tower in an Impairor-class Corvette, armed only with civilian-issue gatling pulse lasers.  I cannot fault him for his bravery.  He was credited with the kill-assist.

This young man's name is Amadin Wa-Sethna.  The third son of a Merchant Holder.  He is rather quite nice.  A little rough around the edges, perhaps; I do not think Captain Elkin approved of his language.  It does not offend me, I am too used to being around Navy personnel.

There is to be something of a celebration later.  I will try my best to be there.  I rather hope Amadin is there too.
