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.

So the Triglavians, whoever or whatever they may be, have come at last.  There are reports from across New Eden that hostile encounters between these new entities and capsuleers have taken place, perhaps against regular Empire forces also.  Let them test themselves against the might of the Imperial Navy.  They would do well to seek peace with Amarr, even an alliance against those devils the Drifters, but if they prefer war, so be it.  We shall show Kuzka's mother to them!

I expect I shall be placed at readiness very soon, and I shall, as always, do my duty.  I would prefer, personally, to try and glean some Intelligence on them, but orders are orders.

Kostya sent a brief communication.  They have opened hostilites in his area of New Eden, and he has had to evacuate.  The message was not clear - the Triglavians appear to be causing some form of inteference, a common enough method of warfare.  I pray he is safe, and how I wish he had stayed in the Empire.  I will try to get a message to him, and, if I am able within the parameters of whatever orders I am issued, I shall bring him back to safety.

Papa and Nikolai have both been called to duty by Naval Command.  Alexandr remains in Nafrivik seeing to Lady Llyr's security arrangements, but I would not be surprised if the Navy issued orders of a much higher priority.  The defence of the Empire must come first.

I am going to see Father Mikhail, to ask for him to pray for all of us, for Kostya, and for Victory for our Beloved Empire.  I shall also ask him to pray with me for guidance from Her, and for the strength and courage of our Dear Departed Alizabeth.

Amarr Victor!
