A Lifetime Everlasting

//PERSONAL LOG //ENTRY BY CLEMENTINE LAFLEUR //DATE YC122.11.30 Straton Technos   I woke this morning to find out one of our corporation members had left. Strat had joined around the same time as I and we got on quite well. Talking about our ambitions, sharing killmails and fits while we plexed in the warzone. It’s sad to find out that someone isn’t happy in their situation. I guess there could have been a number of factors to come to this conclusion. I did try speaking to him on the public Summit chat but he was reserved to give a reason. He did say he was sad not to speak in person before making the decision though. My best guess was that operating at different times than most of the corp, he felt a little isolated. It can be tough, I’ve been there before. And inaction drives you deepener down that rabbit hole until the light above is merely a candlelight flicker. Regardless of the paths we take, I wish him well. Bonne chance avec votre voyage, mon ami.   Oh, one mor...

  //PERSONAL LOG //ENTRY BY CLEMENTINE LAFLEUR //DATE YC122.11.24 It's been a month, a whole 30 days since I was born... Ummm re-born I guess? It's gone so quickly and I've done so much already. Joined a casuleer corporation, blew up a station, made my first solo kill on a pirate, and most recently enlisted our into the Federal Defense Union (FDU) to secure more systems in the name of the Federation. I had mentioned it before about war, and I think the most important question to ask is  why . I know I  know, I sound like a broke holotape, but it's essential. Firstly, why do I think my way of life and thinking is better than those of the Caldari State? Why do they think ours is not? They use to be a member of the Federation but broke away from the collective group years ago. Was our culture really that suffocating for them? The Intaki, Jin-Mei, members of the Republic and even some amarrians happily call the Federation home. If you look at Jita and the opening of...

//PERSONAL LOG //ENTRY BY CLEMENTINE LAFLEUR //DATE YC122.11.16   Well, it's been a busy week. In an attempt to gain favour among my gallentean piers in the Federation Navy, I have been carrying out jobs that have been reserved for capsuleers. This is to gain trust to do larger more important missions for them and so on and so forth. Unfortunately, this has not been without loss. I was finishing off a mission and flying through the region called Placid. It's considered to be the border of Intaki/Syndicate space, and therefore the security level of it is considerably lower. Pirates had been gate camping, sitting a few kilometers off it, looking for a good target for some time. Unfortunately, my hauler was deemed to be one such target. Aura link killmail posted on Galnet [NEOCOM LINKING KILLMAIL - CLEMENTINE LAFLEUR - Kill: Clementine Lafleur (Nereus) Kill: Clementine Lafleur (Capsule) ] I have recloned before, but this was the first time from combat. It was... something...

  //PERSONAL LOG //ENTRY BY CLEMENTINE LAFLEUR //DATE YC122.11.10 As the incursions of Blood Raider attacks begin to slow down and their annual rituals comes to a close, my mind drifts to the question “What is my worth in this world?". I see the value these cultists place on the blood running through my veins, revering it as divine. I see the value other capsuleers place on the blank war clones, that are not unlike the ones used for ourselves. But what value do I have to those that I place my value in?   We have been given a gift of immortality, a means to travel the galaxy to expand our influence to the furthest star. But still, somehow we squander it overcome with petty bickering and greed.  War is all around us, from Black Rise to the Bleak Lands, to the Triglavian invasions and the newly formed Pochven. Capsuleer corporations and alliances go to war over what? Money, assets, space to live? The war being waged down in the southern regions of New Eden in th...
