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.

The so-called auction of Orlon Zashev continues to garner the attention of most.  How that criminal fell into the hands of a Tribal slave-gang I do not know, nor care, but by rights he should have been given to the custody of Imperial Justice immediately.  Then again, that would not have brought the gang nearly so much profit.  Instead they have paraded him around in a grotesque display of greed, and, of course, most people have danced to their sickening tune.

He has reached astronomical price, no doubt, and whoever is successful in this distasteful carnival will no doubt be deafened by the outraged howls of those who feel they have been cheated in some way.  As if the tribals of the Republic have any right to bring to trial, or whatever passes for a trial in their failed society, a subject of Her Imperial Majesty.  Despite his vile conduct against innocent people, he is still an Imperial Subject, and he should face Imperial Justice.  I can only hope that someone loyal to the Empire wins this bid, though I also hope that they seek proper penance for partaking in this show.  I am sure they can find absolution for a "necessary evil".  Once they do have him secured it would only be proper and right that he then be given to the custody of Lord Sarum.

One can only pray that God allows Justice to be done!

There is to be another Operation against the Heretics tomorrow.  I shall not be commanding an Executioner-class sadly, not after the last time proved it is no longer suitable.  Admiral Xideinis requested I design a fit for a Coercer-class, with as much range to its armament as possible.  I must say my intial design was passable, though the Admiral has not made any further comments.  I do not know if he will want to command such a vessel, but I have ordered a Prophecy-class prepared in any event.

I wonder if Constantin will join us again.  It would be wonderful to see him, though I shall pray he does not fall afoul of the enemy's guns this time.  Though he was unharmed and the vast majority, perhaps all, of his crew abandoned ship in time, it was a terrible sight to behold.  I have had nightmares of losing him ever since, though I have not told him.  He will simply worry for me.  I jsut hold him a little tighter every time I am with him.
