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.

We missed her by moments.  The enemy fled the station, using another shuttle during the confusion of our boarding. Had I not been occupied with the station's defences I would have seen it leave, I am sure, but Dido is fitted for stealth and surveillance, not combat, and I had to concentrate on keeping her intact.  I was fortunate to intercept the coded message burst from the station, and order the team to evacuate before the "purge" noted in the message took place.

The "guest" the message refers to can only mean Ishta, so she is in the hands of this still mysterious enemy.  The message burst was directed planet-side again, so they must have returned there.   It will take some time to triangulate the exact destination of the message, and even then I cannot be sure that is actually where they went.  However, it is the only starting place we have.

I am curious as to who, or what, the "Prime" mentioned in the message refers too.  Most likely the leader of this group, but I look forward to finding out exactly who that is.  More importantly, I need to find and recover Ishta.  I owe it to both her and Sasha.
