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.

Operation Snegovschina is proceeding well.  I firmly believe that the results, whatever the outcome of the overall mission of which it forms just one small part, shall be more than worth both the effort and the wait.  How fortunate that Aldrith hit upon his daring plan, or else I might never have been able to put this into motion.  No doubt, of course, Ishta will return with certain reservations; she does seem to be developing quite the moral compass; but at least I can be confident Sasha and the rest of the 601st shall follow their orders without question.

I met with Lady Renaud, Abigail, last night.  I have not had opportunity to speak with her before, and how overdue it was!  Not only do we have much in common, but also our families share mutual interests.  The Renauds require, it appears, security personnel, whilst we, of course, need a reason to rebuild and strengthen Gagana that will satisfy any immediate curiosities or concerns of most observers.  Thanks to Nauplius' little escapade, I know there are mutters and whisperings of suspicion around the Court about our intentions in suddenly acquiring the remnants of a failed military contractor, as well as some doubts about why such a successful company did indeed suddenly fail.  I very much doubt they shall ever discover the truth, but there is never any harm in taking as many precautions as possible.

Besides, another friendly connection is, in and of itself, a benefit beyond measure.  Lady Renaud is clearly an intelligent and ambitious Holder, and if her companion Celeste is anything to go by, someone with a keen sense of judgement of others.  I rather think we can be of great support to one another.  Times are undoubtedly changing, the Empire is changing, even if certain people cannot see it.  I have every intention that my family take full advantage of these developing times, and I believe Lady Renaud has the same attitude.  Trusted allies will be of inestimable value in the very near future.

Speaking of allies, I must arrange a meeting with Security Chief Sokolov.  The people will be expecting an outcome of the investigation into Nauplius' disruption, and a trial needs to be arranged.  It has to run as smoothly as possible if it is to serve its proper purpose for us.  After all, justice must seen to be done.
