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.

Adamia has detected a brief signal from the planet.  It is Ishta's emergency beacon, but only a short burst.  It may have been cut off, or it may be a false alarm.  I am having Adamia and Dyachenko investigate more thoroughly.  I do not want to make an unnecessary extraction and give ourselves away to whoever this enemy is.  We need to get that information.  I have to give Ishta more time.




Sasha has utterly ignored my orders!   He has taken the entire team planet-side, no doubt to rescue Ishta, and he is not responding to my comms.  This is total insubordination, and could very well jeopardise everything!

Yet I know what drives him - his Love for Ishta.  I admire him for it.



Sasha has reported back.  There was a confrontation, but little meaningful resistance from the facility.  Indeed, it seems they were beginning the process of evacuating.  The team encountered some sort of augmented warriors, similar, from Sasha's initial reports, to Khanid cyber-knights.  I sincerely hope they are not Khanid, for that would seriously complicate matters.

There is no sign of Ishta, and they could not have taken her very far from the facility.  I am checking everything I can think of.  If anything has happened to her, I do not know I shall be able to forgive myself.  Sasha most certainly will not.



A sweep of the planet and its atmosphere revealed a shuttle launch not long after Ishta's signal was cut off.  It should be relatively simple to trace its passage, but I will have to hurry.  I will have more chance of success from Dido.

Sasha confirms there are signs of a firefight and conflict prior to the team arriving.  The enemy must have somehow detected Ishta, and she tried withdraw.  I know, deep down, it is my fault.  The second hack.  It was not as stealthy as I had hoped.
