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.

They say Pride cometh before a fall, but I cannot help but be proud as I write this in my quarters on Arx Adolis.  It was here, in Thebeka, that I undertook my first real action with PIE during the operations there.  Papa, too, was proud when he saw the medal I was awarded for my service, The Order of Thebeka.  Yet it is not just myself of which I am proud;  I am proud of what we achieved, given the difficulties we faced, the odds against us.  Not only the horrors of the Heretics' use of Deathglow, quite possibly the most vile weapon ever devised by a twisted mind, but also the active collusion of the Tribals in arming the rebellion.  Even supposedly State-loyal groups supported our enemies.  As usual, the Tribals hid behind their lies of undertaking humanitarian missions!  As if those barbarians understand anything about humanitarianism.  They murder women and children in cold blood, or at the very least give weapons to people induced to a psychotic mania and let them do it.  It is disgusting, and they should be punished for their crimes.

Ah, but all that is behind us.  The rebellions are quelled, peace restored, through the brave and noble actions of PIE and our allies, not to mention other Imperial forces involved in the fighting, such as Sasha and his unit.  I think I shall spend some time here in prayer, giving thanks to God for the strength found in standing with The Faithful.
