YC122.12.29 - The Meeting

Image
//PERSONAL LOG //ENTRY BY CLEMENTINE LAFLEUR //DATE YC122.12.29 Lauralite Anne Brezia Today has been one of those days that has rocked back and forth on the pendulum of uncertainty. I have been contacted by Ms. Brezia who is the CEO and founder of the Alliance  United Neopian Federation . They operate out Eugales system and therefore directly linked and obviously upset about the situation. Although the conversation was short it did not lack the gravity of the meeting she had offered. To add spice to the mix she had requested we meet her in her bar called  The Hissi Fit Lounge . Located in a system called  6NJ8-V , it lay deep in the Venal region. Yes, that's right, Guristas territory. She had assured me that those that call the area home would leave us alone, but it still made me nervous going somewhere like that. Before making the same mistake twice, I pinged Edward on the NADSC secure line who told me to report to his office in Jel. It was clear he wasn't impressed by...

YC122.12.23 - The Mistake

Image
 //PERSONAL LOG //ENTRY BY  CLEMENTINE LAFLEUR //DATE  YC122.12.24 What a nightmare! I knew the job was too good to be true. Two hundred million isk to retrieve cargo and passengers was just too much. I'm such an idiot, too blinded with greed to assess the implications of this job. It turns out that the data slates I handed over were sensitive information belonging to groups in the Eugales and Archavoinet systems. They come under the influence of a capsuleer alliance called the United Neopian Federation. Aura link the APB on Galnet [NEOCOM - GALNET - APB -CLEMENTINE LAFLEUR ]  What am going to do?! I thought this was my first big contribution to my corporation, a first step to making a name for myself. This is going to drawn attention for sure, but not in a good way. The only consolation is that NADSC was not associated with this blunder for which I am grateful. I will have to tell the leadership of this to see what my next step will be? 

YC122.12.21 - The Job

Image
//PERSONAL LOG //ENTRY BY CLEMENTINE LAFLEUR //DATE YC122.12.21 Today has been a good day. I was out on patrol scanning down Wightstorm data sites when a ping came through on Galnet of a potential job. It was a few jumps from the system I was in, so I decided to investigate.  Edgerunner Jericho (laughs) obviously not his real name, but I guess that would compromise opsec for the FIO if it were. The job looked easy enough and the intel I have from the FDU states that the system of Eugales is quiet. Arriving into the system I saw that local comms chatter was minimal, and the d-scan was clear, so I plotted a course and flew straight for Eugales VI.  The relay was easy to find but the marines on the other hand were a little harder to handle. The cargo hold of Imicus class frigate wasn't really fit for passengers but we managed to work something out, reassuring them that they wouldn't be in any danger. The drop off location was in the system at the Federal Defense Union Assembly ...

YC122.12.16 - Profits

Image
 //PERSONAL LOG //ENTRY BY   CLEMENTINE LAFLEUR //DATE  YC122.12.16 Good Morning, this will serve as an update on the volatile ice storms and Sansha's Nation activity across the cluster I made a few days ago. It has become clear they are extremely profitable, and I have decided to make full use of NSV Snowdrop. Lower security systems have proven to pay out the most in the form of Deadspace Overseer's personal effects or OPE for short, AURA link an example please  [NEOCOM - LOOKUP -  Overseer's Personal Effects ]. Parts of the  Black Rise region , which makes up a large percentage of the Gallente-Caldari Warzone  have been hit by these storms, and so I can hit two birds with one stone. U nderstandably these areas have increased risk, but with that comes greater reward. So far, I have managed to pay off my first  Dominix class battleship [C/S NSV Diantha] and an Astero class frigate [C/S NSV Abelia] from these sites. I can only imagine the amount of...

YC122.12.13 - Yule Ball Pt.2

Image
//PERSONAL LOG //ENTRY BY CLEMENTINE LAFLEUR //DATE YC122.12.13 Last night was fun, but boy does my head pound. So much for implants and chemical boosters to keep hangovers at bay. The Yule Ball was amazing though and the venue;   L'Amore in Ballo was so beautifully decorated. I met quite a few people I had only spoken to on The Summit chat. Some were as I expected, so not so much. I managed to convince Edward  to come along, so he rustled something quick to put on and we flew over. I knew what it meant to Mr. Federation, but I did not realise the amount of attention I would receive with walking in on his arm. I am glad I cleared the air with Pamitha  before matters worsened. There was, or is still something between them and it made my heart swoon just thinking about the romance in it all. I have vowed to help her win him back, but that is as far as the plan went that night. The music and atmosphere were lovely despite the raised tension between a couple of Amarri...

YC122.12.12 - Yule Ball Pt.1

Image
//PERSONAL LOG //ENTRY BY CLEMENTINE LAFLEUR //DATE YC122.12.12 Good Morning! I have not felt this excited since receiving my pilot’s licence, which in comparison is strange. Tonight, I will be going to my first ever party for capsuleers. Now I have been to parties and such, but those were only your standard Gallente teenaged rebellion kind of parties. And those were also before I became an egger , it is still weird saying that word. It has been organised by Madame Raske who owns the L'Amore in Ballo in the Kasrasi system. By all accounts most of the biggest parties are organised by her, so my excitement and anticipation are through the bulkhead. The system and station are neutral, and so almost everyone is welcome.   I went shopping yesterday for an outfit and picked out a lovely green dress and gloves that fit just right. Aura link the images of what I bought. [NEOCOM - HOLOPIC - My Dress + My Gloves ]  The bodice is covered in beautiful flowers and vines that f...

YC122.12.10 - Yoiul Festival

//PERSONAL LOG //ENTRY BY CLEMENTINE LAFLEUR //DATE YC122.12.10   Happy Yoiul! It is that time of year again when the elders tell folktales of Yoiul legends, children are gifted presents, and we look back and reminisce, or regret in some cases I suppose, on the year we have had. I say regret not for myself but for some of the other capsuleers. In the past month or so I have seen more than I could have seen in several lifetimes. And I have seen what that immortality affords to those that have made millions of more choices than I. No one is perfect and no one can make the right choice every time. Some do so freely, some not so much, but being able to recognise that decision and grow from it is what keeps our humanity intact.  The below poem is one of the more famous ones that the elders tell and it's quite long. For now, I have added the first few verses, but I have attached the link to Galnet for the full version. Let me tell the story of the lads of few charms, who once ...

YC122.12.05 - Pilgrimage

Image
//PERSONAL LOG //ENTRY BY  CLEMENTINE LAFLEUR //DATE  YC122.12.05 So today I  made my very first trip to the Eve Gate . Alain who organised the fleet explained to us that this wormhole was used by our ancestors to travel through from the old worlds. He said that a great many people make this annual trip for many different reasons. Some go to pay homage to the wonders of the galaxy, some to pay respects to a lost one, and some just to say they have at least once. As a child, we were told stories and shown holopics of places like this. But back then it was only a dream to be able to see it in person. Now as a capsuleer I can make these dangerous trips. The route took us through Amarr space and then through lowsec in the final segment, both presenting their own risks. But a few jumps later and we managed to make through to the final pipe of our journey unscathed.  Alain mentioned that we should make a quick detour to the Dead End system which was only two...
