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.

Doctor Monakh released her first report on the toxin used against Liana.  It is interesting, and generated a number of further questions, but nothing, as yet, that can clearly identify a person or group who may be responsible.  The good Doctor, along with her colleague Doctor. Cottle, are continuing their studies.

It appears that it was a biologically-altered mutagen, designed to target certain nerve centres in her brain.  Fortunately for Liana, the brains of capsuleers are altered to a degree that the mutagen could not find its targets, and the illnesses suffered by those affected were side-effects.

Whilst it was designed to attack Liana's DNA specifically, there are any number of means by which this unseen enemy may have obtained this, and it is unlikely we will find a solid lead from this.  However, the creation of such a weapon requires specialised facilities, as well as the knowledge and skill.  This, I feel, is likely to give us our best lead - it cannot be easy to hide all traces of creating or using such a facility, not to mention acquiring the inital pathogen.



I spoke to Constantin.  It appears he has more duties than he originally led me to believe, and of a nature not readily made public.  I do so hope he will be careful.  Perhaps Papa's contacts may be of some use to him.

I did not tell him about the cuts on my arm.  I know I should not keep secrets from him, but after what he told me, ironically itself in secrecy, I do not wish to burden him with worries over my weakness.  I am sure the next time I see him they will have healed, and if not, I can use another body.  I would prefer not to, as it makes me to violently sick, but better a little discomfort for me than endless worries for My Love.


Directrix Aspenstar wished to speak to me about a somewhat urgent matter.  I should contact her.
