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.

Ishta will leave for her mission soon.  I still have reservations over sending her.  There is something that unsettles me, but I cannot determine what it is.  It is more than simple uneasiness.  It is a constant, intangible feeling that something is not right.

I had hoped the initial attempt to slice into the target's data-storage would have been succesful, but their security measures are impressive.  Far too sophisticated for a simple, legitimate business, and overly strong even for a minor criminal gang.  No, there is something, or someone, more significant, more sinister, at work here.  I do not recognise it as being anything those that vile Cartel use, and it does not seem the sort of illict operation the Heretics would run.

I am very tempted to make a second attempt.  Adamia and Dyachenko are very good at what they do, and adding my own skills into it may be enough, but if not, there is a risk of alerting them that we, or at least someone, has uncovered their nefarious enterprise and taken an interest; and that could increase the risk for Ishta.  For Sasha's sake, I do not know if I am willing to do that, but then, it may save us the trouble of having to get an operative not only in, but out again!  I would do anything to save my little brother from the pain of losing the person he so clearly cares for.



I have given it much thought.  We will try one last time to remotely access their data.  If we succeed, we need not place anyone at risk.  If we fail, I am quite confident we can cover our tracks so that they will never know we made the attempt.
